Totally agreed. They made it an emotional drama while the story is far more than mere emotions. With forced cliffhangers and petty emotional dialogue, it just feels so fast - whereas the original often gives you space and time to ponder upon the deep ideas it plays with.

The entire story, of the whole comic series, is an emotional coming of age story about a petulant man-child. So this is a weird critique.

space and time are, I believe, more easy to achieve in a comic book where you will often reread a page multiple times in looking at the pictures.
