I think we’ve had a lot of straight Motoko and it’s nice to see her given more dimensions and a fuller personality.

Of course, her using a ghost infiltration key to make someone punch themselves in the face works hilariously both with a smirk, and completely deadpan!

It’s nice to see some of her feelings, that were always well written, expressed more visually for the audience. I think it could let new fans connect with her a bit more.

It doesn’t take away from any of her marvellous previous depictions, but god is it a breath of fresh air after the deadness of the Netflix show.
