Mind elaborating on said characterization? Kinda have to give evidence to support your case here

@Snonk Since the short is live action, it gives it enough characterization to not be considered IH.

That explains nothing. A character being live-action doesn't automatically mean they have enough characterization

@Snonk He shows more personality and has more motives compared to his game counterpart.

Again, that doesn't tell me anything. What personality does he show? How is he not insuffieciently characterized? Making blanket statements like "he shows more personality" tells me literally nothing
