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...

I, for one, am looking forward to Cyborg yelling about how he's freaked out that the PPG don't have fingers.

Bring it on.

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.

Well, there's one plus out of it.

Tara Strong is in the new series.

This is as pointless as that Young Justice "crossover".

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

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* · 05-07-2016, 05:51 PM

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.

Off-topic question.

Do you folks think that the Rowdyruff Boys will appear?

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 05-08-2016, 09:49 AM

Doubt it. They haven't appeared in the new series yet.

Don't need 'em.

If you the Rowdyruff Boys, just read every PPG story on fanfiction.

And I mean... EVERY...STORY!

The reboot keeps on upsetting people. Next in line are the transgender folks.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-27-2016, 08:57 AM

The show will have a second season

George W Bush was also elected twice, so I'm not surprised.

*drgon78* · 05-27-2016, 05:46 PM

So was Obama.

What do you like about the show so far?

*Cure* · 05-27-2016, 10:21 PM

It makes me laugh. I'm simple that way.
