So Julie gets to go around and judge everyone from cover to cover until they never recover? Lol! I love her fierceness, but I would see her as very intimidating to meet in person, Julie the character. A lot of people may disagree with Ron's direction, and also disagree with me, but I kinda like how some modern issues were brought to the forefront, and people were flipping out over "politics involved" which I never thought was the case.
Alice as a matriarch would never act as Julie, she'd be more clever so she doesn't be portrayed to seem to be as "fierce" and ruthless/unforgiving. In the 80's Alice was like the Queen, and able to pull a fast one without anyone knowing really lol, I had to rewatch old episodes to realize how funny some of Alice's scenes were. On that note, Julie can get on people's nerves, and it's funny people getting on her nerves, unpopular opinion I know, like anytime I defend Paulina.
