But child Gilbert is as immature as Anne is. If they aren't portraying that, they aren't getting the character right.

Anne With An E did its own thing. It wasn't trying to be as close to the source material as possible. It wasn't everyone's cup of tea, specifically because it strayed quite far from the source material in many ways. But as someone who was only ever meh on the source material, and never cared for the old CBC series, Anne With An E was finally an adaptation I could get behind. So the question of whether they're getting the character of Gilbert Blythe "right" is not a concern of mine.

And no, series!Gilbert is far from immature. He's remarkably mature, due to having had to look after his ailing father while he was growing up, and then take on the responsibilities of a man after being orphaned at fifteen.

Okay, you do you. Personally, I'm of the opinion that while adaptions can change some things, good adaptions at least keep the spirit of the original and the same characters of the original.
