>>280851125I was initially disappointed in this fact but after watching the trailers and reading the manga I think it will give Alice an opportunity to develop in a different way than her book counterpart. She’s really likable in the web manga. Way more genki than her novel counterpart and I’ve fallen in love. The manga basically confirms this Wonderland (and presumably Alice) is in a VR headset. Part of me hopes that this film is successful enough to spawn a TV anime where each episode someone gets yeeted into Wonderland via the headset with Alice serving as the main anchor / character development tool for that person like what they’re doing in this film, and would also give them an opportunity to explore areas of the novel not visited in the film. Also it seems she gets a chance to save the heroine from the trial based on the trailer, so we get to see a courageous side to her.
Web manga if anyone is interested
