Ultimately agree just in general the show's aggressive use of red is eye straining, but not really an enjoyment killer though even if some of the changes from pilot -> show are barely noticeable even if it's to service just the odd overusage of red.

When it comes to Husk in particular, we're kinda trading off the potential character we could presume from the pilot era to what we got instead. Pilot-Era Husk especially with some background stuff like Crymini, I could presume Pilot Husk originally was gonna have Blitzo's arc with Loona, but since that got depicted already, Viv most likely changed it.
I'll differ and think he's got a better direction now with the background of being an overlord, it justifies why he's stuck to Alastor and where he could potentially regress if given too much to make interesting conflict, but I do get why that shift is a turn off, some pilot direction for characters looked more promising (esp with how Viv made some fan songs semi-canon or referenced them a lot).
But yeah, I only mention both treating them separate and that the pilot is still canon to point out how contradicting it is we do gotta keep the pilot as canon, they even referenced the pilot designs with the Vaggie flashback.
I do really think we need the timeline where they could have ported over more from the pilot-era than what we are getting. But some stuff I honestly get why is so different, they want fresh slates after YEARS of Helluva Boss.
Also though, Episode 3 is presumably just one of the pitch bible episodes so I mean, we really might not actually need more ported over.
>Vaggie being technically more powerful than Alastor feels kinda weird.
I agree, but only because it's clear that she got rewritten with no awareness this changes her dynamic. So they had her be stupid to the fact her ANGELIC SPEAR could still perma kill sinners and made her think she was only that strong because she WAS an exorcist and not for who she was.
