Powerpuff Girls Return In 2016

[Cure]

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

The IDW ongoing will be co-written by the voice of Princess

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.

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.

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

Princess... Morebucks?

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.

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

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.

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.

[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?

I don't know if I can keep watching this show...

[TurtleTitan97]

Good grief, is there anything on television that you DON'T find offensive??

If you don't like it, don't watch it. It's not rocket science, and you're not doing yourself any favors when it's obvious you're not a fan of the show.

everything is offensive to you

I don't know. I don't watch television that much.

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

It's much more complex than that, TurtleTitan.

By the way, who said you had to be a fan in order to watch this show? Isn't this show trying to gain a new audience?

[TurtleTitan97]

It's much more complex than that, TurtleTitan.

You are un-freaking-believable, Y'know that? 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".

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".

Also, didn't bother looking at whatever SJW nonsense posted.

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

No.

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.

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. 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.
