The original was better, for a given value of “better.” It was kind of cute, in that the normally verbose Stephie was totally blindsided. It was a nice bit of character work where, unusually, we got to see Stephie as a person rather than a mouthpiece. Now Labelle has decided that wasn’t Mary Sue enough, so of course Stephie has the mot juste to retain power in this situation.
I don’t know, it seems to me like these rewrites are just about removing all character work in the interest of propaganda.
