The entire Mitchell family characters were well-written. We can see that all of their personalities and opinions are different, and they frequently fight, but in the end, they stay together, and solve all of their problems together even if it means one is compromised.

Analysis

Even though the daughter and father do not get along and fight frequently, we see some heartwarming moments where they do things for each other and try to eliminate the differences.

PAL is shown as the villain, but we can see that he was mistreated by his boss which increased PAL’s hate towards humanity.
