Most shows about teenagers are really just 30 year olds who are cast to depict toxic college behavior cause this shit ain’t even normal for college.

​@@nikeman116 You can thank the national lampoon, American pie and other adult comedies from the 2000s for depicting college life in the way that you described.

My theory is that most screenwriters didn't had much social life as teenagers (ore even in college), so their main point of refference are the celebrity parties they see when they're already living in Hollywood

Have you seen Riverdale?? I never liked their Adaptation

These are same writers who are on strike lol😅

And the idea of using superheroes as a metaphor for child stars and show parents is also an interesting angle. But the script just seems so mean-spirited.

Thing is we already had that idea done better. Back in the day there was this MMO called Fusionfall that took place in a slightly more "grown up" rendition of a Cartoon Network shared universe. Among the NPC's in the game were teenage versions of the Powerpuff Girls. And honestly the games depiction of them was pretty good

@@TeamTowers1 God, that was my jam back in the day.

And it had a good cast it just didn’t have the right writers

I mean it's the CW, of course it's gonna be lazy and uninspired

Yep. It could’ve that. But without the power puff girls.

Shows how Japan handles reboots better

I think you mean Princess Morbucks

You’ve got your Cartoon Network show’s mixed up you meant princess Henrietta is the candy hunter who was friends then enemies then friends again with number 5 from codename kids next door

It was actually only officially canned post cw being sold

Yeah, you know what, i'll would rather watch that than this. Like the idea of the Powerpuff Girls being high school students where they all just wanted to be normal teenagers as they must balancing their life as both superheroines and ordinary high school students would've been so interesting to see and be played with. Or heck, they could've have them be college students too, i guess.

Bro in My humble opinion the rowdyruff boys got hoed twice by some Bullshit

Frankly, that entire episode was a HUGE middle finger to the corporate mindset.

CW doesn't understand the source material obviously.

Exactly; Drake made sure that was an episode of the cartoon because he was being accused of profiting off the girls. Honestly it makes it better

@@TheMCNanno Who’s Drake?

@@Thomperfan was that not the first name given the professor in the CW show?

We're they also race changing as well?

Why the hell are they 15?!?!?!?!?!?!

@@skootergirl22 I think only Buttercup got a race swap. I know that's an issue for people, but I often don't mind so long as the writing is good enough to make it work or is just plan good

Is true. Bubbles and Buttercup's problems seem more logical for someone in his 20s that for a teenager... specially if they were going to have the same character flaws 10 years later. It would make more sense to have Bubble's alcoholism and Buttercup's chronic infidelity start as consequence of the villain's death, instead of being problems that were already taking a toll on the team when it happened

​@@helenn6551Chloe Bennett is half Chinese... yes, the CW maed the smart one Asian, the angry one Black and left the dumb one White; because they're beyond lazy

Hell, this crossover with the series Worm did a better job mixing the PPGs with gritty stuff, man. It's called Town and Out in Brockton Bay or something, if you're interested in finding it.

Narcism and greed

Umbrella Academy became woke garbage.

At least the creators The Venture Brothers like what the show jokes about.

@@louisduarte8763 I know. They deconstruct and joke about everything but there's a lot of fun and heart to it. Really hope they get to do that movie.

Oh god Don't mention the twerking from She hulk episode 3.

Agreed. Lord knows something like Venture Bros is like surgery but CW's Powerpuff Girls would've used a baseball bat or a jackhammer as their tools.

Johnny quest much.

@@Dim4323 I am not sure I understand your comment. Did you think I was unaware that the Venture Bros. parodies Johnny Quest?

Velma had the same situation

@@skootergirl22 And it was made by people who hate cartoons in general based on how much they pretty much bit the hand that feeds too many times.

Hey, Chloe Bennet as Blossom was great casting, too!

Yea, I'm sure she would enjoy playing bubbles

And I’m sure the actress chosen for Buttercup would’ve done service

She'll be doing her best with a trash screenplay that makes her character look so dumb and nothing like the animated character at all.

Dude, it's Dove Cameron. I'll take Tommy Wissou over her.

Albeit as many comments have already pointed out, it’s already been done it’s called the Venture Bros

it was a dumpster fire when the script was leaked, tbh

@@Megafreakx3 When some fans caught wind of the script leak, they did damage control by making sure it never got out of development hell and that the pilot never saw the light of day...

The less said of this show the better just give us something in line with the original series and I'm good.

Yeah. I'm not against making one of the girls black or a lesbian, but why did they choose the most aggressive one to be the black one?

And if it was Blossom, it would be yet another ginger replaced by a black person. Bubbles is the only "safe" option out of the 3 if they really wanted to race swap one of them.

@@kou7191 Yeah. As I said earlier, I'm not against making one of the girls black, but it feels like they didn't really think it through. Making Buttercup the black one only reinforces the aggressive black woman stereotype.

@@benbarnett5743why do you think?

I am completely against race, gender and sexuality swapping in any and all media. If you’re not gonna turn Storm or Black Panther white then you shouldn’t do it to the white characters. If you’re so fragile that they only way you can relate to characters is they’re a certain color then don’t watch it

I didn't hate that movie, it just shouldn't have been called Jem and the Holograms.

at least somebody ended making some slight balance to that with that fan film that I think came out a year or so after that movie came out. I was loosely familiar with the show via people in the Channel Awesome reviewer circles. But hadn't watched any myself. But I remember enjoying the fan film. I thought the Misfits looked kind of cool in the post credits of the 2015 movie. I don't think the rest of the movie will really be remembered. I think the only way that movie can be brought back up again is if somebody who was young when they saw it remembers it and kind of if going back through memories of their younger years and goes through it. Maybe seeing stuff they liked that made them happy or something and then maybe seeing stuff they didn't like and now see with slightly older eyes why certain parts might not've been good as they remember. And possibly after that maybe making one of those youtube essays on it for a particular topic or theme within that movie or maybe dissecting the movie and using parts they find to make potential memes or tikotok videos or something as far of some kind of Nostalgia cycle.

Fact!

Yet JRR was evil himself Smh

@@Christian_Ada1 really? how so?

That quote becomes more true every day

And of course it will have a cult following liked by morons lol

I’d watch out of morbid curiosity to see how bad the leaked scripts looked on film. Making Bubbles a porn star and Buttercup a raging lesbian sex maniac seems like someone’s fanfic but somehow WB said yes.

Not to mention that in the CW reboot, Professor Utonium isn't a good dad like how he was in the 1998 classic series. After hearing Blockbuster Buster describe the CW reboot script, Professor Utonium really should take notes from Fred Flintstone on how to be a good father.

If HBO had done it I would been happy but not cw or Netflix

The 1998 classic series is right up there with The Flintstones as 1 of Hanna-Barbera's BEST shows.

Thanks Google

We know,Brian stringham. The video is right there. You don’t have to emphasize it.

Yea the reboot wasn't directed by him even the anime had him involved

Have Toei make a japanese live action Powerpuff Girls. For some reason, network executives don't know that live action hero shows for kids are a thing. They made a Sailor Moon tokusatsu show and it is basically a fun girl show but with live action drama elements that make the story and characters interesting without having to desperately placate to gross adults.

@heroicgangster9981 I have seen the live action version of Sailor Moon. Yeah, it was cheesy, but that was the whole point.

For some reason which I can’t explain. I also imagined a live action Buttercup was Asian. Even as a kid. Aside from her black hair, I was raised up during times with stuff from Cartoon Network. Ben 10 and all the works. I’ve seen appearances of female Asian character types that look like cool punkish types. I forgot the name of this, but kind of similar to GoGo Tomago from the 2014 Big Hero 6 animated film. I think a few female characters from Older Power Rangers series fit this bill too. Too little me, these types always look so cool!

Ha.. elite force. I'd rather watch that terrible show over this in a world where it came out

@MetaGiga I would like to hear more of your ideas.

@MetaGiga Your idea sounds good.

@NaquanGreen-zt4gr Oh, thanks! I actually went to town on making my own episode/fanfic after writing that. I’ll show you the first part of the episode I had in mind to replace the dumpster fire. *The first episode:* The girls are getting groceries and different supplies in a Target-like Superstore. The girls’ 16th birthday is coming up (the day of it being the first airing of the PPG cartoon, but not the year) and hints imply that they don’t make much money (“You can get a treat, but be sure not to get anything on brand, girls! Cheaper means we can get more for what we have!”). However, when they go off, The Professor sneaks away himself for something. Bubbles wanders over to the pastry area and sees a donut of her cartoon self, which she smiles at and is thinking about getting. However, a younger kid asks to get one first. When he’s given it and he takes a bite, Bubbles sees that it was filled to the brim with cherry jelly, which makes her eyes widen as she pieces together the intentions of it. Everything cuts to slow motion as there’s jelly on the kid’s face and there’s a close up of the large bite into the eye... Buttercup goes over to take a look in electrical appliance aisle after she chose her treat in order to pass the time (there’s a scream in the background, which is Bubbles, but Buttercup can’t really hear her due to the sound). When she goes by the TVs, it’s turned to a channel that’s a sort of talk show and in it, the host (which seems to resemble Him slightly, but not enough to make it completely obvious) and the guest are making really awful jabs at the Powerpuff Girls. The moment when they start talking about The Professor, however, she throws the nearest TV to the ground and completely destroys it with her strength... Right in front of some nerdy employees. One of them takes his walkie-talkie and is about to call security, but the other one just eases his hand down because they really don’t want to possibly die. Finally, Blossom was looking around in the clothes section when she heard Bubbles scream, then a loud crash. The series of events sounds to her like her sister is in trouble, so she starts to run to the direction of where the crash was... Only for someone to run right into her with a shopping cart with one of those toy cars on the front. This prompts Blossom to panic and start apologizing profusely... But unfortunately, it’s one of *those* people (“You brat! How dare you do that! Look at what you did! You hit my cart and made my baby scared!” as she points to a 5 year old kid, who’s still turning the wheel back and forth and doesn’t seem to give a shit). The Professor hears everything as he waits by the checkout area and sighs. Calmly, he pushes his own cart and begins to get the girls. He finds Buttercup first, who found a place to hide in one of the clothes racks in case security was called on her. Next, he finds Blossom still dealing with the screeching lady and points out that he’s finding his children, so she should work on finding hers rather than yelling at a teenager. The woman looks into the toy car to see that his kid just up and left during the confrontation. Last, he finds Bubbles, who was in the toy aisle and had surrounded herself with various stuffed animals. He kneels down, gives her a big hug, and starts putting away the toys. Finally, they all check out and go to their car (which looks pretty worse for wear) and they start to drive back to their house. Just before the girls start to apologize for making a scene, The Professor cuts them off and tells them that store didn’t need anymore money anyway, especially from a family with three perfect little girls. This statement makes Buttercup and Bubbles smile a little, but Blossom feels like it’s her fault that the mom lost sight of where her kid was and that she shouldn’t have been so rash. She then begins self deprecating herself, which makes The Professor look extremely concerned... Then after a few seconds, he gives the girls a goofy smile and tells them that while they were leaving, the four of them went through a time rift and that it was now their birthday! But it’ll only last for the rest of the day and after time goes back to normal tomorrow, their birthday will have already happened. The girls get that this is a really corny attempt at making them feel better about what happened, and they start to laugh and even Blossom starts to cheer up a little as everyone starts to play along. Once they get home, The Professor makes the cake (it’s not exactly baking show perfect, but it has that homey birthday feel to it) and serves each of them a slice. The birthday song is sung, and just when the girls think their birthday is complete, The Professor gives all three of them gifts that they genuinely are surprised to get. Bubbles gets a really nice sketchbook and some art supplies since she seems to be developing a love for art (Bob Ross poster optional). Buttercup gets a pair of rollerblades and a helmet since she never lost her tomboy spirit and is interested in derby skating along with other sports. Finally, Blossom gets books in advanced studies, as The Professor saw that she was interested in higher education (that’s the only thing that I’ll admit that the show got right about her adult self). The three can’t help but use their powers to fly into The Professor to give him a huge hug, telling him that he really didn’t have to give them gifts like these. The Professor, however, doubles down and says that everyone deserves to be what they want regardless of everything that happens. After this, they all have the time rift birthday party and the instance at not-Target is completely forgotten. *End of the first part of the episode!*

"Aunt May Movies" for real? I like that character, but a whole movie?

​@@gruthakhul100 rumors said that it was only 1 film uncovering her past as a spy, sally fields denied these rumors saying something like "what? Aunt may movie? no, that would be crazy, no one ever said anything about an aunt may film"

I honestly don't even understand why they would need to make the Rowdy Ruff Boys normal guys. Mojo creating them to replicate the creation of the Powerpuff Girls, but then not being able to control them seems like it would fit well into this setting still. They could even have them retire and start a bar together to reflect how they handled being super powered children differently than the girls going in a "the heroes grew up traumatized but the villains learned from their past mistakes and grew up mentally healthy" angle.

Also, if they're going to have Bubbles flirt with one of them, wouldn't it make more sense for it to be Boomer instead of Butch?

Best guess: He would have been a misunderstood villain who was rejected by society because he was gay or transgender and it was ‘society’ and ‘straight men’ who were to blame.

And once again, fans can come up with better ideas than Hollywood.. .

@@juliagoodwin9510 Aww, thank you.

I always assumed they got the darker tone from Archie Horror.

1 thing's for sure, Professor Utonium really needs to take notes from Fred Flintstone on how to be a good & caring father.

Nah I literally got that from the moment he said “Sex addicted lesbian”

Not everything needs to have a gritty reboot we have stuff like like the Austin power movie Kamen Rider 555 and the James Bond movies in the Daniel Craig's stuff and John wick

It will be another generic secret agent show

I'd watch a fetish of totally spies tbh

PPGZ had a standard 52 episode run and lasted one year. Do you honestly think they were producing new episodes of that for a decade?

@@bdpickett I mean, it's an anime. How long have One Piece, Shin Chan, or Case Closed were there. Anime can run forever.

@@jonathanstern5537 Yeah, but this specific one didn't and you wrote that it did.

and the worse part is I can totally see him in the role just this version of Professor Utonium is just not likeable at all

I could see Turk doing a portrayal of the original 1998 Professor tbh
