Powerpuff Girls Return In 2016

[ZariusTwo]

“The Powerpuff Girls” will return to Cartoon Network in 2016, the cabler announced Monday. The reboot will include a new television series and a full licensing program that will roll out across all regions. The show first premiered in 1998 and was created by Craig McCracken.

“The original ‘Powerpuff Girls’ was a franchise phenomenon for Cartoon Network, paving the way for a new generation of innovative storytellers and enthusiastic fans worldwide,” said Rob Sorcher, chief content officer, Cartoon Network. “We are calling these girls back into action based upon an overwhelming demand for sugar, spice and Chemical X.”

The series earned two Emmy awards during its 78-episode run, and spawned a 2003 feature film, a tenth anniversary special, and a re-imagined CG special, “The Powerpuff Girls: Dance Pantsed,” which aired on Cartoon Network in January and featured the voice of Ringo Starr.

“As the original ambassador of ‘girl power,’ The Powerpuff Girls brand continues to resonate with people of all ages and there is tremendous excitement around introducing Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup to a new generation,” said Pete Yoder, vice president of consumer products for North America, Cartoon Network Enterprises. “With proven success and great content plans in place, there’s so much potential that we’re looking forward to explore with our licensing partners in the coming weeks.”

Their heads are so big, and their arms are attached to their heads and not their bodies! That's some weird proportions there :o

[Donatello19]

After that god awful special they just had, I can't say I'm excited.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, and given there were some some liberties taken with the special and how out-of-character some were, I'm not so sure this show will stick to the rules.

[Donatello19]

Cartoon Network should just make more original shows...I mean, look at what happens when they try to do a reboot/new version...

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as they bring back the original voices, I'm stoked!!!!:D

They make something awesome and really funny?

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I LOVE the looney tunes show, awesome, I wanted more than 2 seasons tbh. Really funny show.

[Raph's Girl]

2016 seems to be the year for new toons. We got 3 to look forward to so far. 2 reboots (PPG and Magic School Bus), and a spin-off of Lion King.

[chrisdude]

The Looney Tunes Show was fantastic.

I never caught that PPG special that aired...

[Cure]

Oh, no, they might make a reboot like Looney Tunes! I don't want funny and awesome things!

[BubblyShell22]

As much as I despised the anniversary special, I can't help but be excited that the Girls are coming back. I just hope they don't ruin them as they did in the special itself and that they stay true to who the Girls were in the original.

[BabyTurtles]

I didn't like the PPG special at all.....I hope it's not going to be in the same style...

[TMNT_Guy]

The Looney Tunes show was odd in that it would usually have a strong first act, but then drag on. I don’t know why it never seemed to stay funny passed the first commercial break.

Personally, I just want to know when Cartoon Network is going to release the Powerpuff Girls Movie in it's proper widescreen resolution.

[Lou 500]

Oh cool, I used to love PPG when I was younger.

[TurtleTitan97]

The new voice actors for the Powerpuff Girls have been revealed over on the official PPG Facebook page:

Actress Amanda Leighton as the voice of Blossom

Actress Kristen Li as the voice of Bubbles

Actress Natalie Palamides as the voice of Buttercup

Iiiiiinteresting.
I'm kind of curious to see where this goes.

[Cure]

Uh-huh, uh-huh, yup. I know who those women are.

[Prowler]

I liked the original series back in the day. Was the anime adaptation any good, btw?

What exactly was wrong with the looney tunes show? I thought it was very well done. It wasn't supposed to be like the original looney tunes. it was updated for youth, and it was done perfectly so. And don't try and use it's "cancellation" as reasoning. Because it was one of the top rated shows, the creators only planned for 52 episodes and refused to do more.

Nick's TMNT were updated for the youth & is a top rated show, but you dislike that & you're well within your right to. So just let the guy be.

There's a difference, whereas the Looney tunes show was fantastic, the nick tmnt is a steaming pile of crap.

There are plenty of other users saying that same thing to him as i did about the looney tunes show but you selected me to throw your self-righteous spiel on. Which is quite ironic knowing your history making fun of the mentally handicapped and attacking other users. You're very sheltered here because you're friendly with the mods, which grants you immunity from being banned unfortunately. Whereas if anyone else said the same things you have said and the amount of times you've done or said them they would have been banned already. And If i said the exact thing you just said to me, i'd be getting a message from jester. Thus making it impossible to truly improve this site and make it a friendlier place.

If you want to pimp out your art to people and talk about how great you think you are and how you're so much better than everybody, fine. Just don't go bringing that crap to me cause I'll call you out on it every single time.

[Powder]

Lol okay buddy

I have tried to be civil with you, answer your questions, comment on your thoughts & findings, but you insist on holding a grudge over your wildly misguided impression of me. That's fine.

[Shark_Blade]

Know this already. Hope the quality writing returns. The later seasons of PPG were awfully written.

Also, Tom Kenny will return as the Narrator/Mayor: http://mashable.com/2015/06/08/your-first-look-at-the-return-of-the-powerpuff-girls/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link

[CyberCubed]

They look almost exactly the same. Feels like they're just making new episodes where they left off rather than a reboot.

[Powder]

I really don't wanna seem like that stereotypical geek who nitpicks minor stuff but I dislike the cowlick. Did they really have to add something to convey that Buttercup is the rough & tumble one? It's like how Bay-Don got glasses to convey geekdom. They look fine of course, but yeah, I find this whole "The character should have a thing that immediately tells you their personality" design trope rather irksome. It's not gonna stop me from watching the show or anything like though, it's just a minor quip.

[Shark_Blade]

Buttercup spiky hair bugged me... like the rest of her hair is smooth and tidy except the lil bit on the top of her head?? My OCD is disturbed.

[turtle1237]

After that god awful special they just had, I can't say I'm excited.

I would not say it was god awful. I like the story line of the dancing pants in one of Mojo's plans.

The problem with it was dang too bright, I could not tell really what was going on. It was like they draw the sun in like every shot or something. Had they darken the color tone, by like a LOT. Perhaps make the girls look, well, you know, like the Powerpuff girls, than the odd designs they used, it would have been better.

My main problem was of course, it was way too bright. You could hardly tell what was going on with the sun right in your eyes, and no I was not staring out side, but at my TV. lol.

[turtle1237]

I enjoy all the seasons, they had more bad showings more often in the later seasons, but the last episode was a home run hit, were Mojo grew the Girls into Giants, and they could not do a thing with out destroying the city by mistake. And Mojo was just out in the open stealing stuff. Good times. It was funny and wacky. I loved how the girls "Fix" the tower with chewing gum and it was wiggling left and right, and the people were screaming.

That last one was amazing.

Sure, too bright. Also it wasn't written very well and it wasn't funny.

[turtle1237]

I loved the line with lose the mullet, Science does not flow with that , had me laughing. I like the ideal of the dancing pants, it didn't turn out great. It had potential to be something, but it failed on its face.

[drgon78]

I like these "new" designs and hope they are legit.

I actually liked a lot of the later episodes of the original series.

[THGhost]

Love the new designs, very similar to the originals. :D Thank God they didn't use the designs from that "Dance Pantsed Special"; those were awful.

It's a shame about the voices though being different, hopefully the new ones will be just as similar. Nice that the Narrator and Mayor will be the same.

[drgon78]

It wouldn't be the same without the original voices, they could have least got Tara Strong for Bubbles.

[Amaranthus]

You really want me to bring up the Marvel Animated Universe again, don't you?

[Autbot_Benz]

Tara Strong said on Twitter that Cartoon Network didn't even bother to ask if her EG Daily and Cathy Cavadini if they wanted to reprise their roles as the PowerPuff Girls. They were quite annoyed by that on twitter. I don't blame them.

tara strong ‏@tarastrong 18h18 hours ago

I have NO ILL FEELINGS 4 the actresses in the new #ppg, We were just beyond hurt we were NEVER asked..every role I breathe life into I love

[Cure]

I don't get why she feels like she should be asked, anyway. New show, new actors. Can't be the same forever. Makes sense to me.

[TurtleTitan97]

I don't get why she feels like she should be asked, anyway. New show, new actors. Can't be the same forever. Makes sense to me.

You can't really blame her for feeling that way though. According to Tom Kenny, they're even bringing back Roger L. Jackson as Mojo Jojo and Jennifer Hale as Ms. Keane (Though not as Princess Morbucks). So in reality if they could bring back at least three actors from the original series, there's no reason they couldn't bring back the original actresses for the girls.

Not that I'm knocking down the new girls, I'm sure they'll do fine. But I can understand how Tara must feel since this a character she's voiced for years and would love to do it again in a heartbeat.

People are getting sick and tired of your Nick Turtles hate in every other topic. Stop acting like all the members are out to get you. They are not you are just annoying.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I can see why Tara would feel that way if they're getting some of the original cast back. I'm not saying these new girls will be terrible or anything, but I definitely understand why the original women feel left out and hurt about it.

As for Buttercup's cowlick, I agree. They should get rid of that.

[Jester]

This. They should have just re-cast full bore and not had some old cast and some new cast. Just make a brand new cast for the brand new series.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Shame, they are not bringing back the original 3 actresses, but still looking forward to this.

[drgon78]

They brought back the original cast of Teen Titans for Teen Titans Go, I don't see why they didn't for this one.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I actually take back what said a bit. All three of the original voice actresses, actually want to reprise their roles, why they don't just role with I don't know.:x

[BubblyShell22]

Exactly. They should have just brought them back, and I think it's a shame that they didn't. But we'll see how these other girls do.

[CyberCubed]

Does it really matter that the Powerful Puff girls have new voices? Its not like their voices are hard to imitate or that the originals were so amazing.

Blossom had a standard voice, Bubbles is high-pitched, and Buttercup has some roughness or toughness to her voice. Its not like this is some plot driven show.

I know where you are coming from, but when all 3 wanted to return, then just go with that.

[Powder]

I know where you are coming from, but when all 3 wanted to return, then just go with that.

It's not their call to make. & I imagine the new blood costs a lot less than these folks.

[BubblyShell22]

It matters in a way because old cast members are returning yet they didn't even bother to bring Tara, Cathy, and E.G. back to voice the Girls. And while I agree that it's not their call, it still sucks that they were overlooked.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

It's not their call to make. & I imagine the new blood costs a lot less than these folks.

True, but the original cast was awesome, enough said!

[BabyTurtles]

man I really like their voices....and they sounded great in the PPG special....kinda wish they brought them back.....

but....I that's not gonna stop me from enjoying this new show, maybe they will be just as great ^_^

(gonna be hard for me to imagine Bubbles as anyone else other than Tara though)

[THGhost]

Still managing to go off-topic I see, eh Technodrome Forums? ;)

Agreed. Isn't Roger L. Jackson still voicing Mojo Jojo as well? It's gonna be wierd hearing his and the Narrator and the Mayor's original voices along with everybody else's new voices. :ohwell:

[drgon78]

Sounds like another epic fail for cartoon network.

[TurtleTitan97]

It's a little early to start calling this an "epic fail" considering we haven't even seen clips from the show yet.

[BubblyShell22]

Exactly. Don't judge it until you see it.

[drgon78]

I have no interest in it without the original voice actors for the main three, if they at least still had Tara Strong I might have been interested. Also considering there isn't a single show on CN that I like other then Venture Bros with new seasons every 2-4 years, I have little faith in this new version. I just hope this will not be the Teen Titans Go version of the Powerpuff Girls.

[CyberCubed]

Powerpuff girls wasn't really THAT great a show in the first place. I watched it all when I was a kid, and its a fun show, but its certainly nothing amazing or mind blowing.

I don't see how people can be bothered by Powerpuff girls being slightly different, its not like this was some plot driven series or something. It was a better than average CN show that now people are nostalgic for, that's it.

[mexichrist83]

This coming from someone who continuously complained about the changes made to Hun and whether or not certain characters are specific races is amusing.

Anyway, I wasn't a big fan of the original show because it was after my time for something like that but from what I saw it seemed like an entertaining show. I took my youngest brother to see the movie and I have to admit that the movie was really fun. The voice actresses really made the PPG as characters so I can understand completely how not having the original actresses would cause trepidation about the rebooted version especially considering how they are all still very active in voice acting. Elizabeth Daily even posted a youtube video today of her expressing her thoughts on how she and the other actresses weren't even approached to do the new series. Very strange situation with this recasting.

No one cares if PPG was a "plot-driven series" like you do, that isn't soley why people like it. People liked it because it was fun, smart, and appealed to all ages, boys and girls. It may not be a great show to you, but there's no denying how it's definitely one of Cartoon Network's greatest shows considering its lasting impression.

[CyberCubed]

That's also because it was one of CN's first original cartoons along with Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, etc. that all came in the mid-90's. Before that all CN had was old Hanna-Barbera shows from the 60's-80's.

I remember when it debuted for the first time around 1995 or so. I watched it all as a kid. People remember it because it was fun and are now nostalgic for it. But for example if I had never seen the original show as a kid and had no nostalgia for it, I don't think I could ever get into it now as an adult.

How do you explain the long lasting entertainment of Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry cartoons? Those are even older and don't follow any storyline yet they are still incredibly laugh out loud funny and enjoyable even now? You can argue that people can look at this stuff with nostalgia goggles but the fact of the matter is that genuinely good entertainment is good entertainment regardless of whether or not you're an adult, the time frame it was made or if it follows an ongoing narrative.

Exactly. This isn't the 80s TMNT series we're talking about here. PPG is a great show that still holds up to this day along with Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo and Ed, Edd n Eddy.

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, PPG was awesome. It was a show anyone could watch and enjoy whether you were male or female. Quite a few of my male college friends loved PPG and would talk about it with me all of the time. This isn't about nostalgia. It's about people being happy that a show they genuinely enjoyed is coming back. If you don't want to watch it, then don't.

[ZariusTwo]

Exactly. This isn't the 80s TMNT series we're talking about here..

Fun fact: Some of us think 80s TMNT holds up pretty well also.

[THGhost]

I like how Bubbles has blue thingies in her hair and that Buttercup has a quiff. Little touches.

Fun fact: Some of us think 80s TMNT holds up pretty well also.

Before I subject you to my ignore list, here's what I did try to send you back

Seriously, the 80s TMNT doesn't really hold up today. Be honest with yourself. :lol:

I'm being perfectly honest. I watch the show every now and then and get great entertainment value out of it.

[CyberCubed]

The 80's TMNT cartoon holds up very well besides the cheaper episodes scattered around. Most of the show is fun, comical, and the wacky plots keep it entertaining.

Its the same reason people still like 60's Batman. Its camp but GOOD camp.

[BubblyShell22]

Yep, I still love the 80's TMNT as well. It's still funny and makes me laugh whenever I watch one of my DVDs.

[THGhost]

I do love the 80s show, don't get me wrong. :)

Its camp but GOOD camp.

I agree. :tcool:

I honestly didn't know my privacy settings didn't allow you to reply. I must've changed them a while back and forgot. I meant no condescending behaviour by it. I was in fact awaiting a reply from you. My apologies. Nothing to do with my balls. :P

Insecure little aspie much? :lol:

Also, I do actually suffer from Asperger's Syndrome. So thank you for that. Very smart of you.


Back on-topic; I wonder if the new PPG series will be hand-drawn animation or CGI? It's hard to tell from the images. I wouldn't mind either way.

EDIT: It turns out ZariusTwo also suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. Guess I can't take offence to this little outburst of his anymore, huh? :P

And yet here you are. Again. I'm not trolling you. It was one massage. I'm just pointing out your despicable behaviour. :roll:
Run away and hide behind your prejudice. It's fairly obvious who's in the wrong and the insecure one here. My privacy settings will most certainly stay as they are now.


Man, this is the last time I bring up TMNT in a non-TMNT thread.


ANYWAY. New PPG series. Hand-drawn? CGI? A mix of both? Thoughts anyone?

[Papenbrook]

:( Will the both of you please stop fighting?

[THGhost]

I'm assuming you meant stop. Believe me, I'm done.

I will report him if he persists in spamming my visitor section.

I will report him if he persists in spamming my visitor section.

You need to learn what "spamming" means. I wasn't spamming your precious visitor section, I was pointing out what a deplorable person you are. Do you always verbally attack people with insults regarding to disabilities regardless of whether or not you know if they actually have them or not? People like you make me sick.

I don't know if it will be hand drawn or CG, but I do hope that it won't be as brightly animated as the special was.

I wasn't a fan of the special's animation one bit. God knows what possessed them.

Oh, nice. I like her new voice. I wish Blossom and Bubbles spoke in that clip.

You and I remember the old show very differently. :P It looks like they crashed into the world of Steven Universe.

The girls do look good though, very faithful to their older versions, but the rest. Hmmmm... Also Buttercup's new voice is gonna take some getting used to, as I'm sure Blossom and Bubbles' are too once we hear them.

[oldmanwinters]

This looks exactly like the old show.

Though the character models look almost identical, I think the animation style looks very contemporary to CN's other new shows. The old show had a very defined two-dimensional style, as if the characters were made of paper. This new show seems to be making more dynamic use of perspective and dramatic angles.

And while those are good things to have, I just wish it looked more unique instead of the same as CN's other shows.

[drgon78]

Wow, Buttercups' new voice is horrible.:x

[turtle1237]

Oh please. :roll:

No one cares if PPG was a "plot-driven series" like you do, that isn't soley why people like it. People liked it because it was fun, smart, and appealed to all ages, boys and girls. It may not be a great show to you, but there's no denying how it's definitely one of Cartoon Network's greatest shows considering its lasting impression.

It may not be plot driving, but you do know what makes the people in the show tick. Bubbles fears of the dark, Buttercup not having special powers, like her sisters has, and Blossom's fear of let down. They all had there ups and downs and were I suppose in a way real. Yeah they may save the day and all, but the 3 girls were also pretty flaw. They were not perfect. And the villians were just as impressiving. MoJo Jo Jo's failed attemps in enslaving mankind, and holding a grudge of being abandon, Him's "Moral victorys lol" and the low level guys like the Gang Green Gang.

I mean how can one watch Super Best Freinds, and see how Princess tricks Robin into stealing and pretty much have to confront her freinds(The PPG) in the wrong she did. And the Girls in turn forgave her. That one was my favorite of the ten years on the air lol.

Still loved Mo Jo.

"A Very Special Blossom" is an awesome and haunting episode. If it weren't for status quoe it could have led to much darker stuff.

Also looks like they are in a higher grade in school or at least a much bigger school in this version.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Pretty impressive. The intro was freakin' sweet, though knowing CN these days, they'll probably cut it short. Even though this is a new series, has it ever been confirmed if this is a continuation to the 90s series' storyline or a complete reboot?

Complete reboot, I think. The girl's voices are different so it wouldn't make much sense for it to be a continuation. If it is, then great. But the voices will take some getting used to.

I agree, I see everybody complaining that the animation is so much different from the old show, yet they apparently seem to forget the animation very completely different during the final two seasons compared to the first couple seasons..

Animation design wise, it is very similar from where the show left off after Season 6 of it's original run.

[drgon78]

The animation doesn't bother me, the fact they snubbed the original voices and replaced them with these no talent kids.

[Papenbrook]

It was meh. I was bored with the episode.

[TurtleTitan97]

IGN gave the first episode an 8: http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/03/19/the-powerpuff-girls-man-up-review

I watched it (And two more leaked episodes), and I personally enjoyed them. It does a good job of capturing the spirit of the original while putting its own spin on the characters.

[THGhost]

Just watched the first episode. As expected, it was a cheap imitation of the original, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It definitely felt like a missed opportunity for the very first episode of a new series though. Hopefully we'll get to see more of the original villains and The Professor. It also seems like they're skipping the PPG'S origin story entirely.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Dreadful, just dreadful.

[Cure]

The first two episodes were doooooope.

[THGhost]

I liked it. Something about it didn't quite feel like the original series, but it's still whatever. It's different, but in a good way. A little bummed that Mojo Jojo wasn't in one of the first two episodes though, maybe that's what's missing.

Definitely. Have them bring in new villains for sure, but keep the old ones too. Having Princess Morebucks as the villain for the premiere episode was an odd choice. I enjoyed the second segment a lot more than the first.

[GoldMutant]

I plan on watching episode 2 tonight, but for the most part the reboot is solid. Still unsure on the voices tonight; then again, I only watched part of the Princess episode yesterday, not the whole thing. I'll make a better judgement tonight.

[turtle1237]

Loved the hang over spoof.

And guess what? Robin Snyder from Superfreinds is back, She had a little role here with the raisins joke, than the big role when Morbucks lead her astray.

But it was nice seeing some one from the old show back in action.

[THGhost]

Still unsure on the voices tonight

The voices for the girls sound a lot better than they did in the ads, don't know why.

[drgon78]

After watching an episode I can say that the voices for the girls are terrible, the girl's personalities are off, and the writing is as bad as most other shows on this channel. But because it is a piece of crap it will last 5+ seasons. Thank you CN, you ruined Teen Titans and now it is the Powerpuff Girls turn. I really want to know why they bothered to get most of the old voice actors but snubbed the main three.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I really want to know why they bothered to get most of the old voice actors but snubbed the main three.

With CN these days, who knows.:ohwell:

I enjoyed the show for what it is. I wasn't expecting it to be exactly the same as the original. The humor was pretty funny for the most part (there were some parts that made me scratch my head). I really do like how they give the girls more facial expressions through eyes, lips, even nostrils in Blossom's case. In my opinion, it gives the girls range. The voices for the girls are not the best but I like them. This is just me but I actually prefer Buttercup's voice over her original butch-Tommy voice. It goes well with her more sarcastic and dry wit. Bubbles' sounds more enthusiastic and Blossom does sound like Cathy Cavadini with a head-cold. At least we have the original voices for all of the other characters so far.

Not bad. Better than most cartoons on CN today. Faithful while adding a bit of layers to it.

[BabyTurtles]

I didn't like the episode I saw....and I was looking forward to this show (had a complete open mind)

but...it's just one episode I'll give another episode a try ^_^

I think it's really bad, but to anyone who likes it fair enough.

[Yoshimickster]

The new show is okay, but honestly it feels like its in the same heir as "New Doug". Y'know, every character's voice is the same except for the protagonist's because the producers didn't want to pay the original actors, plots are recycled from the original series and tweaked, and the animation is in a NOTICABLY of a different style. I enjoy it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes no-where.

[THGhost]

At least the theme tune's good? :P

The only big disappointment for me is that it probably isn't going to have a cohesive narrative structure like the original series; most episodes being individual stories but still the occasional thread running through them. I mean, the origin story was skipped, the Professor was non-existent and Blossom already has her ice breath power.

I don't get the feel its a reboot.

Seeing Robin Snyder sort of confirm it in the Hang over spoof. I think its them picking up were they left off, the girls are a bit older now, with cell phones ete.

I think the major problem is were is Him? Fuzzy? a Major Mojo plot? We don't get that, we get unicorn's and sakes kids, and some other non world threat plot.

We see the Mayor? But no Belum? Its decent, but its not the classic the series was. The only show I really enjoy was the hang over spoof, and that was it.

[Yoshimickster]

Basically unlike the original show, where it pseudo-establishes what's going on, this show THROWS the viewer into it. Which is fine...for the older members of the audience who KNOW these characters, but for anyone who DIDN'T grow up with them its a little confusing.

And it shares the same problem with Teen Titans Go in that we can't tell whether its its own thing, or a loose sequel, its needlessly confusing!

And yes, when the Shell is our Mojo plot? They BETTER not just be using him for cameos, I'd be SO annoyed if so.

[Cure]

Are you guys counting the theme song as the origin for the original? Because if not you're not making sense.

It's definitely a sequeled reboot.

They have the same powers from before, and based on the pre released episode on the app, they giving them all additional powers.

The one thing that I'm fairly surprised so far, is actual character development, especially in the Power-up Puff episode. With that, along with the clever humor I've seen, It's a joy to see so far.

[THGhost]

I guess the "sequeled reboot" thing makes sense. It's certainly odd though. More classic villains please.

[Papenbrook]

So apparently, Ms. Bellum was permanently written out of the show.

"We felt like Ms. Bellum wasn't quite indicative of the kind of messaging we wanted to be giving out at this time, so we sort of had her move on," Jennings explained. "And that was a good choice I think on our part."

So disappointed... :(

[Powder]

Why are you disappointed? Isn't this kinda move the progression you want in pop culture?

[LeotheLateBloomer]

There's definitely a bigger emphasis on the humor aspect than there is action, I've noticed. Not like it's a bad thing, it just tends to catch me off guard. The girls have a lot more facial expressions that if you've grown up with the previous series, you'll either find hilarious or just disturbing. And it can be a little hard to adjust to, at times. It’s not the same sense of humor as the original show but it’s different in the right way.

[CyberCubed]

Apparently both tumblr and 4chan hate this show and consider it a disgrace to the original. I don't know I never watched it.

[Papenbrook]

I thought that the show runners would try to rework her (Ms. Bellum) into a more "feminist" character.

You know, update her design, or make her into a more complex character? I guess it was too late.

Apparently both tumblr and 4chan hate this show and consider it a disgrace to the original.

That might have to do with a certain, recent episode of the series. I heard that it got a lot of backlash.

[Powder]

Ah, well I guess I can understand that, but it's a matter of "Do we basically create a new character with an old ones name, or just not bother?" & the latter potentially avoids backlash. I mean, she was kinda defined by her sexualized nature, for lack of better phrasing. Doing much else wouldn't be the same, not that I personally care either way. I certainly wasn't watching for her. I'm a Mojo fan. :tlol:

[Papenbrook]

The "Horn, Sweet Horn" episode was so overwhelmingly offensive, I couldn't believe what I was watching. How was it even ALLOWED to air?

It's much more complex than that, TurtleTitan.

You are un-freaking-believable, Y'know that? :roll: Also, didn't bother looking at whatever SJW nonsense posted.

You don't need the brain of a genius to simply say to yourself "This show isn't for me and I'm done watching it", AND JUST STOP WATCHING IT when you find yourself not enjoying it.

Case in point: I used to watch Arrow, but ever since the Season 3 mid-season finale I've hated how bad the show has become. So you know I did? I STOPPED WATCHING IT AND MOVED ON.

Seriously, how hard is that for you?? Say it with me now, "I'm done with watching this show".

[Papenbrook]

You are un-freaking-believable, Y'know that? :roll:

I think I have some pretty good reasons as to why my dislike for ONE, particular episode of a recent show is not "un-freakin-believable".

Then you won't understand why I am mildly hesitant towards this series.

I will keep watching this show, because I still have hope that it is going to improve. Also, I like some of the jokes in almost all of the episodes so far.

My option shouldn't bother you at all. I'm allowed to criticize the show.

[GoldMutant]

Then you won't understand why I am mildly hesitant towards this series

I think it'd help if you were to actually give your reasons on why you have skepticism towards the series, or the episode. One episode shouldn't change your judgement entirely outside keeping a careful eye on what can occur. Then, if it doesn't meet your expectations, quit the series and return if you want. It's standard fare, watch television or movies, offer some criticisms (even if unpopular) and then leave.

In all honesty, you didn't give any reasoning on why you don't like the episode outside it being "offensive," so why not explain your reasons?

[Ninturtle]

Gosh Papenbrook the show is obviously patriarchal to attract all the male members of our male dominated society. I don't like Power Puff Girl's but the patriarchy is tempting my sexist male mind to watch this show.

[THGhost]

Poor Ms. Bellum, she never offended anybody. :P I appreciate them not trying to replace her though, if they found her inappropriate then getting rid of her entirely was the right way to go.

I've watched a bunch more episodes and I'm definitely getting a Teen Titans Go! vibe from it, but nowhere near as cringe-worthy. I'd say it's a decent show, but obviously greatly inferior to the original.

I just don't get where people get the comparisons with TTG.

TTG is a complete opposite from the serious dark story driven show that Teen Titans was. I completely get where people come from hating the complete 180 tone shift of it.

Powerpuff Girls went from a character driven show with at times very slapsticky humor, ...to a character driven show with very slapsticky humor. Like nothing has changed in tone or anything; it's not like the original series had a strict story to follow, it had very marginal story progression. Now yes, the era has changed which changes what the humor is believed to be funny in writers mind, but the overall consensus with viewers is mind boggling to me.

It's a character heavy, weak story driven show, with tons of slapstick; just like the original. The only difference is what is perceived as "funny" these days.

Now I'm not calling out you on it, it's just I see the TTG comparison a lot, and it's easiest to just connect it with your comment. Maybe you can explain it though, because I just don't get it.

I don't know about this...

Sure, both shows have similar types of comedy, and are (technically) revived shows, but still. How would the crossover work? They both have different animation/art styes that would be jumbled if they were both animated together.

I have a bad feeling about this...

[Utrommaniac]

I thought that the show runners would try to rework her (Ms. Bellum) into a more "feminist" character.

You know, update her design, or make her into a more complex character? I guess it was too late.

She was already a pretty complex character, and I don't think these new writers really paid attention. She was smart, the girls looked up to her, she saw through the mayor's incompetence, her name is Sarah Bellum - a pun based on her intelligence. It seems like they just saw a faceless sexy, breathy-voiced woman who works for the mayor and assumed off the bat that she was a sexist character without fully paying attention to everything else about her, like her wit and her guidance. Those who were offended by her in the past probably didn't see it either.

When it comes down to feminism, the original show did just fine. From what I've seen of the new show, it doesn't seem to understand what made it work the first time. Regarding the unicorn episode, I saw an article in which one of the writers described trying to draw inspiration from Steven Universe's inclusionary characters, but they clearly failed.

The writers aren't quite competent to follow in the original's footsteps, nor are they competent enough to follow what Steven Universe has achieved. More importantly, they don't have the tact for it. And tactfulness is the Chemical X of both original PPG and Steven Universe.

Now if it were the new PPG meeting the old PPG, that would be cool.

[Papenbrook]

Regarding the unicorn episode, I saw an article in which one of the writers described trying to draw inspiration from Steven Universe's inclusionary characters, but they clearly failed.

That's the problem with the episode. It was very transphobic with its allegory of gender identity. I don't know if the writer(s) have ever intended to make it that way, though.

[Utrommaniac]

The impression I got from the interview was that they wanted to be be positive (using Steven Universe's use of gender identity and sexuality as a base), but as I said before, they didn't have the competence or tact to handle such a subject decently.

[Papenbrook]

THIS. So much this. TTG and this new PPG series are just insults to the original series'. Both shows are filled with randumb stupidity, it makes you think: "just what the writers of both shows are thinking?" if they are at all. Are modern day kids even liking these kinds of shows?
(Edit: how'd that smiley face get there? I can't seem to be able to edit it off.)

[Shark_Blade]

All of the new PPG episodes are weak, I'm done with this garbage.

[BubblyShell22]

I keep forgetting to watch the newer stuff to be honest, but I do like this show a lot. It's funny and makes me proud to be a PPG fan. I wasn't a fan of the TTG/PPG crossover special though. I felt like it was trying to make TTG more superior to PPG.

Has anyone been following the Jake Goldman twitter and /co/ storm lately?

Apparently the guy self-inserts an avatar of himself called Jared in every episode he writes, he also voices him, and he wants to do Blossom.

Pedophilia? That's lesbianism!

(And yes I know the PPG's are kindergartners)

It's both actually. Same gender doesn't change that.

[turtle1237]

Its better than the shameless Ben Ten reboot.

[CyberCubed]

The only successful reboot recently was Samurai Jack, and that's only because they put it on Adult Swim and didn't restrict it to children.

[Cure]

Samurai Jack wasn't a reboot.

[Coola Yagami]

Exactly, not a reboot, but a continuation, an extra season. It's as much as a 'reboot' as Inu Yasha The Final Chapters was a reboot.

[BubblyShell22]

I don't really see this PPG show as a reboot either since they have different episodes and all of the main characters have returned. I feel it's more of a continuation of the other show and the only difference is the voice cast, who I feel are actually pretty good.

[Coola Yagami]

Does it acknowledge the previous show or start all over? From what I heard everyone is written poorly or differently that they might as well be new characters.

[Netkeeper]

This became dead to me as soon as I learned they were cutting my favourite character, Ms Bellum

[BubblyShell22]

What do you mean? They had her in the show and even had an episode where she helped the Girls.

[TMNT_Guy]

What do you mean? They had her in the show and even had an episode where she helped the Girls.
They had her removed from the series by the seventh episode:
"We felt like Ms. Bellum wasn't quite indicative of the kind of messaging we wanted to be giving out at this time, so we sort of had her move on," Jennings explained. "And that was a good choice I think on our part." (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-powerpuff-girls-20160401-story.html)
...and here's how they explained her absence:

[BubblyShell22]

Ah, yes, I remember that episode. I agree that that is a shame.

[drgon78]

This is one of the worst remakes/reboots/continuations that I have ever seen and that is saying something considering the other shows on CN.

[ZariusTwo]

The September 17th movie event will introduce the fourth Powerpuff Girl

Technically, this would be the fifth if you count Bunny.

For the love of God, are they serious?

They're just begging for attention at this point. :roll:

I hope it's Bunny.

Well of COURSE she's diverse...

...'least she has Bunnie's colour scheme

[BubblyShell22]

Hmm, this could be interesting. I'll definitely have to check it out though I always did wish they'd bring Bunny back.

I figured since she was gonna be a new member of the team they would've tried to retcon her into being a long long sister or something among those lines.
Guess that rules that out.

[BubblyShell22]

Wait, so this is someone who was a long-lost sister? Oh man, it's like Venus all over again and we all know how well THAT was received. Still, I'll see how it plays out.

[Vegita-San]

poochie ok with you guys? yeah, poochie's fine.

Hey Roy.:D

[Allio]

You know, I can't believe that I didn't realize until know that the girls, Princess, Bunny, and Bullet are the primary/secondary colors

[drgon78]

It's the panderingpuff girls.

[BubblyShell22]

I just wonder how this is going to play out and how she became a long-lost sister.

[ZariusTwo]

Apparently her name is Bliss

[Allio]

I would have probably called her Berry like the blue for her hair

[DestronMirage22]

Apparently her name is Bliss
So Buttercup, Blossom, Bubbles, Bunny, Bullet, and now Bliss.
Gotta keep that alliteration going right?

I would have probably called her Berry like the blue for her hair
That is a better name.

No information has come out confirming her as a long-lost sister AFAIK.
My earlier post was just a theory I had about how they'd introduce her.

She is indeed a long lost sister. Seems the current set of girls wasn't Prof. Utonium's first attempt at creating the perfect child. Bliss was. But there was something wrong with her so he abandoned her. Seriously...WTH?!

[Vegita-San]

they need to just cancel this mess before it ruins whatever reputation the show had.

What the ****?!
REALLY???
That's messed up. That's really out-of-character for the Professor and just messes with the established canon!

they need to just cancel this mess before it ruins whatever reputation the show had.

Agreed.
The above is just more proof of how terrible this reboot is.

[BubblyShell22]

Her name is Bliss? Cool, but I agree that it seems OOC of Professor Utonium to just abandon her. Either way, we'll see how this plays out.

[BubblyShell22]

Okay, so I watched the special and I really liked it. To me, it felt like I was watching a version of the original PPG show and that made me feel good. Bliss is a good character and I do hope they use her in future episodes and don't throw her to the side. I loved her backstory and how she left the Professor because of her powers being out of control rather than having him abandon her as was previously stated. I thought her pet elephant was cute, but was tipped off when it's revealed who it really is when the elephant changed into the butterfly shape from the episode "All Chalked Up."

I liked how it all played out and just hope that Bliss isn't a one off character and that she does come back and joins the Girls.

What are everyone else's thoughts?

[Allio]

I liked that tge "perfect little boy" was Astro boy

[Coola Yagami]

She better form part of the permanent cast or else why even bother calling her the fourth? Technically she's the first and the others are second, third and fourth.

[sdp]

No one will ever accept her as part of the cast, this has seldom worked in fiction ever.

I have no problems with Bliss besides her name, I think in order to tell other stories these things have to be introduced, they just won't be a part forever and will be heavily divided. I don't think she's SJW pandering either, we already have a blonde, red and black haired PPG, she had to be different somehow.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree with Coola that they should keep her around. If they don't then the special was completely pointless and a waste of time.

So on point:lol:

I have to admit I love Poochie characters though, so much that I loved Poochie from The Simpsons as a kid and didn't understand why they killed him or what they had against him. :lol:

This whole reboot has been a waste of time

[Coola Yagami]

This whole reboot has been a waste of time

They just messed it up. If it was done right, it woulda been cool. I'm confused, were the original writers fired or something? What went wrong?

[Allio]

What went wrong?

they tried to do ttg for girls

[BubblyShell22]

I'm of the opinion that it wasn't a total waste of time but I definitely feel that some things are not needed and that they need to do more fights like the original show did.

The reboot will apparently be coming to an end after the third season

[drgon78]

Personally it shouldn't have gotten a 2nd season let alone a 3rd, but at least it is ending.

[CyberCubed]

how many new eps did they make?

[ZariusTwo]

how many new eps did they make?

Approximately 92 transmitted episodes so far, not sure how many are left

[sdp]

For a "failed" reboot that seems like a very healthy revival. Is the show really that bad or just people outside the target audience complaining?

[Coola Yagami]

It's hard to say, PPG was never about memes and slice of life, but that stuff wasn't big when the OG were on the air.

Ironically the PPG in the TTG crossover acted more like the OG ones than the reboot ones.

[Shark_Blade]

Good riddance to awful trash.

[Donatello19]

Super embarrassing to now look back at how they thought this was gonna be a huge hit with the kids, and how they had big hopes for the toyline/merchandise :lol:

If they insist on rebooting old shows, they should at least do it with shows that were NOT huge hits/very successful. Make something bad/mediocre into something good or even great, instead of taking great shows and turning them into...well, whatever this was :roll:

[drgon78]

The reboot is garbage, they even recycled many jokes from other shows on CN.
