Peach Creek provides examples of:
- Abhorrent Admirer: Marie Kanker still has the hots for Edd years later; they run into each other near the doorway to AP art class, and she playfully sticks her tongue out at him before heading inside.
- Adaptational Angst Upgrade: All of the characters receive this in one way or another, given the more mature tone. Using just the Eds as an example:
- Double D seems to have developed depression from his parents never being around.
- Eddy is now a smoker, cusses more, and has fallen back on old attitude habits since Big Picture Show.
- Ed has grown tired of his parents' blatant favoritism, to the point of running away.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Eddy, to an extent. He still calls people names and insults them, but he has learned some lessons since Big Picture Show. He has gotten a job at a fast food joint and has quit scamming people, and expressed interest in hanging out with his friends, and seemed hurt that Double D wouldn't let him over to his house.
- All the Other Reindeer: Jonny 2x4 is still a social outcast years later. No one has seen him in months, according to Eddy, and he recently came back to work at the fast-food joint with Eddy; he also got rid of Plank at some point, who ended up in the junkyard watching the Eds' Retro Van.
- All There in the Manual: The page on the Ed, Edd n Eddy Fanon wiki reveals more info on the characters and what happened to them after all these years.
- Art Shift: For the most part, the pilot has dark colors compared to the original and still outlines. In May's dream, however, it changes to a style near identical to the original show, with bright colors and the outlines would wiggle slightly.
- Ascended Fridge Horror: In "Three Squares and an Ed", one infamous scene is seeing that Ed's parents removed the stairs in the basement to keep him grounded, which is often cited by many viewers as parent abuse. This scene is recreated in the first episode during May's dream, with it being one of the contributing factors to Ed running away due to his parents' blatant favoritism toward Sarah.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: While in the junkyard Edd questions if they ever called Jonny "Jonny 2X4" in the original show, where Eddy recalls a time in Season 1.
- Cigarette of Anxiety: When Edd calls him out for smoking three cigarettes while he and Ed are working on the Retro Van, Eddy says he needs it to help him get through the night shift at his job.
- Darker and Edgier: While not overly edgy with only mild swearing and drug usage, it's clear that this adaptation is meant to be much more somber and mature than the original cartoon.
- Deconstruction Fic: Of the original series, a lot of the traditional comedic elements are largely deconstructed and show real-life consequences.
- One of the consistencies with the 3 protagonists is that each of their parents is neglectful. Although this is largely to keep the cast small and easy to follow, this has left mental scars on each of the Eds. Ed is bitter that his parents always put him last and favored his sister, Double D is left with depression and OCD because his parents were that absent during his life, and Eddy has realized that his parents turned a blind eye to his brother's bullying.
- Dreaming of Things to Come: May has an ominous dream at the end of the pilot, where Jimmy warns her of things she must do and events that are happening, such as Ed running away.
- High School: The show takes place with most of the cast in their senior year of high school.
- Home Base: The Eds still use the Retro Van in the junkyard as their hangout and are trying to get the vehicle working again; it's mostly Edd and Ed doing the work while Eddy stands around and does nothing. The trio does successfully get the car working again in the teaser trailer.
- The Runaway: His parents' favoritism towards Sarah and the subtle implication they were abusing takes its toll on Ed, culminating in him packing a bag and leaving home during the pilot episode.
- The Stoner: Eddy has become quite the smoker; he's high with Ed while trying to plan a party with Edd during Minisode 2, and he smokes three cigarettes while Edd and Ed try to fix up the Retro Van in Episode 1.
- Visual Development: Many of the characters have gone through physical changes since the original show:
- Double D now has hair growing out of his beanie.
- Ed now has noticeable red hair.
- Eddy's three hair strands has evolved into a full head of hair.
- Rolf is now much more muscular and has a full beard moustache combo.
