Dave reboot theory

Hey folks!

So. I found the jump to the Dave era jarring; it’s funny, and I’m grateful for it, but it feels… off. In terms of the deliberate, careful arcs of character development through 1-6, and even 7 & 8. And then I thought… well, we see all those Ace light bees. We know there are a multitude of parallel universes. So I watch the Dave era thusly:

It’s a mirror universe version of the crew.

This doesn’t diminish them at all, it just cleanly resolves them regressing into almost childish, parodic versions of themselves - this is a crew who didn’t go through everything the 1-8 crew did, and as such, didn’t… well, grow. Not nearly as much, anyway.

Thoughts? 😊
