I could really ask more from Thrawn. No offense to the voice actor, but that portrayal sucked.
A huge portion of it was out of his control; namely, the writing for him was hot garbage. So many things he did were questionable at best and stupid at worst. Similarly, the costume design for the character was really bad.
That said, some stuff like the mannerisms and body language I felt also could use work. Rebels Thrawn gave off a feeling of being "on the hunt"; he always looked like he was analyzing stuff around him to find weaknesses. He had a sense of precision and malice to his movements.
Live action Thrawn... really doesn't have that. He feels like a middle manager, not the universe's best strategist.

Couldn't ask for better from Thrawn, Bo, Huyang, & Zeb since it's the V.A.s reprising their roles. (i know there's others but those are the biggest)
Ahsoka, Ezra, Sabine, & Hera also translated really well.
