Fun fact: I actually wrote this script all the way back in January, before the corona virus pandemic even started lol. I had no idea at the time what 2020 would become, and that's why there isn't a single reference to our current situation in my review. I think that worked out in the long run though, seeing as it won't make this video age as poorly. Also, ironically enough, today was the day I wrote my Sideline Dad script, and that episode was also terrible! Now when I inevitably release that review in the future, you'll all be able to see just how far ahead I've been planning out my videos!

"I drew this in between panic attacks" As an artist, I applaud this line.

Did they literally took the professors smart out and gave him Homer Simpson’s idiotic genes.

My question is why don't the girls also have hazmat suits? If this virus is so dangerous that the superpowered children could also be infected, shouldn't they have protected gear?

Here’s a question. If the professor cared about the well being of his girls and the ramifications behind one of them being infected, why does he spend the majority of the episode with a stupid smirking smile on his face?

What they did to the professor is pretty unforgivable.

Man, the OG professor was the greatest tv dad. Why they gotta do this to my mans, now he's the worst dad character since Peter Griffin.

And just when I thought Professor Utonium couldn't get any stupider.... I feel sorry that Tom Kane has to hear/watch his character being destroyed.

The Professor in the original: A loving, caring father, very intelligent, has a sense of humor but doesn't distract how serious he can be at times The Professor in the reboot: Just another idiotic cartoon dad

"I drew this in between panic attacks!" OK, for as garbage as this episode is and Prof. Utonium's character as a whole, that line made me laugh. Reminds me of college lol

The professor is like the worst character in the show ever

This show is so bad that Shadow is now wishing these beloved characters would die just so the show could end.

"Radioactive" "Chemical" "Virus" Pick one reason why it's dangerous goddammit! Also, I love how I thought "How stupid would it be if the Prof was the one infected?", a minute before he turned into the monster

Why. Does Modern Animation. Always do this. To father characters? They can never be caring, involved individuals. They always have to be stupid, childish, incompetent, and or abusive and detestable.

It's episodes like this that make me wonder why the hell Tom Kane decided to return.

I find the quarantine episode hularious. Not the writing, but because of the situation we are in right now. I don’t really like this episode. Also, love your videos.

Your little rant on subverting expectations is on point. It would be one thing if there was some context clues with the Professor being infected but as you said and in context of the show; there was no believable reason or explanation for him being the Porcuswine, so that is straight up terrible writing.

Never would I believe a PPG episode would be somewhat topical.

How much this show messed up the Professor pisses me off so much because I *love him* in the original show! He was a refreshing change from the idiot dad trope and was just a genuinely good parent, something that at least based on what I was watching at the time felt like a rarity in cartoons. And then the reboot randomly turns him into the exact trope I loved him for subverting! When it's one that also makes no sense for his character!

If I didn't know any better, I'd hypothesize that Professor Utonium in the reboot was being written in such an atrocious and unforgivable way because the show runners are so wrapped up in their goal of making it so much of a "GiRl PoWeR" iteration that it can't possibly have any good male characters or male characters that can serve as good role models for anyone and/or have a ton of unresolved daddy issues they baked into the scripts. But that'd be paranoid of me.

The reboot professor crossed the line the first time he spoke on screen.

4:05. It would have been better if they were all infected and the Professor had to make a cure, but after making it and explaining the effects, mojo would refuse to take it, wishing to send the city into chaos. Sure it would be questionable why Mojo wants the city destroyed, but it’s better than what they did.

Well the girls and mojo were altered by chemical x maybe that gave them immunity? The professor's containment was faulty from the begining and he was the only one without super abilities to protect him from it.

The only thing I can imagine the plot twist working is if 1) The Professor got infected from some containment/ clean up slip up, Like neglecting to fully sterilize everything he had on him prior to entering the house. Or The girl's immune system being cartoonishly strong and pushed the virus back out into the Professor's face or into the house. And 2). One of the symptoms being compulsive lying and subterfuge. So the Professor would be lying (for the most part) the whole time after quarantining the girls and Mojo.

Welcome to another episode of Shadow Streak hates the professor.

*you already know that this comment is 2020-related*

Fans: Can we please have the professor be competent? Writers: Haha, logic go brrr!

DAMNIT SHADOW, I promised myself to avoid all videos with quarantine or covid in the title because I'm sick of the constant mentions.

I knew it was going to be the Professor, because "because bananas" is this shows pattern for justifying twists.

I hate how the professor is so nonchalant about this.

The writers: hmmm... so we want to completely change the professor's character, right? How should we do it? Some guy who no longer had a father: how about we make him super unlovable and a real dunce in the head guy who doesnt know the meaning of love? The writers: *THATS PERFECT*

I honestly saw the Professor being the Porcuswine coming. This show is just so bad and predictable that it would have been shocking if it WASN'T him

The writers must’ve been drunk outta their minds to think this episode was a good idea. What beer do you suppose they were drinking? Coors? Budweiser? ... Corona?

Question, why the hell aren’t the girls wearing one of those suits like the professor, are we suppose to believe the reboot PPGs are suppose to be unaffected by the chemical that the professor is driving fast I might add which is also dangerous, they can’t even last in a long fight and get hit one time until someone comes and helps them, so again are we supposed to believe this chemical won’t affect reboot Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup 😂

He: Posts Me: I AM SPEED

Next time on the Powerpuff girls. Blossom calls CPS on the professor for child endangerment due to events here.

By all technically all four of them are the Professor's children so this is even worst then you say it is lol

I'm at 9:02 on the video. I'm literally going _it's the Professor isn't it? He's gonna be the infected one at the end isn't it??_ over and over. Let's see how that goes. Edit: 10:50 *_Called it_*

I think the professor did this so he can kill the powerpuff girls

kind of ironic how we're all in Quarantine because of this CO-VID Crap what a surprise I can't escape the Quarantine anywhere

CellSpex put it best when it comes to twists: It's best to think about how well the twist works with the story (i.e. foreshadowing) rather than just using it for shock value. A good example of this is Luke Skywalker's infamous connection to Darth Vader in "Empire Strikes Back," since the movie foreshadowed it with Luke's development in that film and how he could follow the same path if he's not careful enough.

I want the real Professor to beat up the reboot professor.

Prediction for next weeks episode title: The Return of Paulie Or Paulie Strikes Back

Hey remember when the professor was a likable character to the fans and a father to the girls 😭, yeah me too 😂, I can’t believe the reboot did this to the professor, of all the characters they had to fucked up most of the time in the reboot, why did it have to be him 🤦🏾‍♀️

this show was ahead of its time it was terrible and now everything is terrible as well

Honestly "i drew this in between panic attacks" and mojos comments did make me laugh You had one good joke Good job

Did I mention how much I hate the writers on this show?

Ah, but see Shadow, making the Proffessor the porcusuine was a twist that subverted your expectaions, and that trumps all notions of logic and plot/character cohesion.

Remember when the professor was a badass Me too...

12:17 that face keeps haunting me because it’s freaking halarious

Quarantine has affected my life way less than I like to admit.

it's almost as if this episode was 2020's inspiration for the recent outbreak

Honestly, I couldn't believe they called this episode "Quarantine" But it was much easier to believe than that ending scene. I didn't want to see that.

Cue the incoming quarantine jokes!!! Also did the professor not do his research I don’t see a single roll of toilet paper in the quarantine room!!! 🤣 okay I’ll let the others do the work. Also the girls and Mojo going insane actually scared me a little bit 😅 also when the professor tests one of the girls’ dna he could’ve color coded the B in blue, pink, or green. But stay safe during this quarantine everyone!!! 💙💖

We also gonna gloss over the fact that the professor didn't get hazmat suits for the girls when they were transporting the virus? (Not that it would work, anyway...)

I did not expect that it was going to be professor I had Buttercup Vines idk It's kind of she's the main character

I thought it was going to end with the girls transforming anyway, and the professor needing to lug another cure, or just have the one.

You know, it occurs to me that it a good explanation for Mojo and the girls NOT being infected being Chemical X- that some property in how it mutated Mojo and made the girls manifest gives them an immunity to viruses or maybe just more extreme illnesses like this. I know the show likes to never mention Chemical X if it can help it but its the common factor between the 4 and could work. Still doesn't fix the plothole about the professor being infected and not recognizing it nor Mojo and possibly even Blossom sussing it out but one patch at a time.

Never have I even been that quick to tap on a notification!

Everytime i hear the end card music i feel nostalgic

Oh yeah! I’ve been waiting for this review Shadow Streak because this is another episode where another character transforms into a monster which was the Professor.

Oh boy that title.

honestly when i saw this title i thought this episode was gonna talk about covid 19

You’d think he’d give the girls protective suits too. They’re super powerful, but they can still breathe in fumes or get sick, can’t they?

The Professor lucked up both his 3 daughters and his son in the same room

This episode was a game of Among Us in a random public lobby.

This is not the professor i know anymore...

Hey, remember how the OG Professor built a giant robot for the girls that he forced them to use to battle against a giant fish balloon monster in “Uh Oh, Dynamo” when he saw they were losing and getting hurt because he was terrified of losing them? Remember how the OG Professor got the Mayor and the entire city of Townsville to band up with him as soon as he noticed that the girls were missing in “Collect Her,” and managed to save them from that creepy comic book collector guy Lenny, who kidnapped them to add to his collection, by forcing him to tell him where the girls were through ripping open all of Lenny’s PPG merchandise with the kids of Townsville to break his will? Remember, how the OG Professor Utonium made a supersuit to spend more time with the girls when they kept getting interrupted to go save the day, then forced them to wear helmets, elbow-pads, and knee-pads to go battle Mojo Jojo because he was afraid of them getting “boo-boos,” and took on Mojo Jojo all by himself and managed to win to save the girls from him in “PowerProf.?” Remember, how in the episode “Knock It Off,” the OG Professor Utonium immediately threw out his appropriately named former college roommate Dick Hardly in a cold fury, told him to stay away from his kids when he noticed that the asshole kept referring to his little girls as *things* that he “could make a fortune off of” by mass producing, and then was willing to sacrifice himself to Dick to make more Chemical X in exchange for him to spare the girls lives when he noticed that Dick had kidnapped the girls and was draining them of their life force (Chemical X) in order to attempt to mass produce more superpowered children when he ran out? Remember how in the episode “Film Flam,” the OG Professor Utonium immediately got furious when he saw how that fraud of a film director Bernie Bernstein, who claimed he wanted to make a PowerPuff Girls movie, was mistreating his kids, particularly Bubbles, when he grabbed her face harshly after she pointed out something that he claimed wasn’t true, and then punched the dick of a fraud director in the face after finding out the entire film was a scam of Bernie’s to rob Townsville’s bank? Remember, how in the episode “Nano of the North,” the OG Professor Utonium followed the girls to a battle in Townsville to make sure they stayed safe from being trampled after shrinking them down to miniature size, so they could be small enough to battle tiny evil nanobots that were destroying the city, and then when he noticed that the nanobots had morphed together to create a six inch monobot, he just stomped on it with his foot to protect the girls and make things easier for them? Yeah, I really loved the OG Professor, too. He could be embarrassingly doting, old-fashioned, and overprotective with them at times, but he still meant well, so it was endearingly misguided. On the whole, he was still a really kindhearted, intelligent, protective, and selfless dad to Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup in the OG series. He had SOME wildly OOC, bad parenting and idiot ball moments here and there in a handful or so of some really bad episodes, such as “Daylight Savings,” “Keen On Keane,” and “Moral Decay” most notably. However, in *most episodes* of the OG cartoon, he was a really great dad to the three girls, who loved them dearly, and would do anything to protect them. Even at his most OOC in the OG cartoon series, he was never this outright indifferent, irresponsible, neglectful, reckless, or stupid in regards to any of his girls lives, safety, and well-being. I’m pretty sure that the OG!Professor would punch the reboot!Professor in the face for so indifferently, negligently, and recklessly outright endangering his daughters lives like he does in this reboot most of the time.

Just Imagine when the OG Professor Confronts the Reboot Professor. Mannn when OG sees this, mann he's gonna be so mad that he will want to pulverize this piece of shit like he did to Fuzzy in "Roughing it Up"

*see's the title* Oh the irony of the situation we live in right now. I was hoping for a Maverick War, not a pandemic.

I called the 'twist' 10 seconds in.

Man the Reboot really ruined one of the greatest dad characters of the og series and made him one of the worst characters ever

What they did to the Professor in this show *really* pisses me off to no end. Why?! Why is he like this?! Why is he one of the most *stupidest* characters I've ever seen?!

As if the previous Professor-focused episodes weren't bad enough, this one makes me want to use this to express my hatred towards this "character" in the reboot: #NotMyProfessorUtonium Keep up the good work, Shadow. Really enjoy watching your videos.

3:44 Why weren't they all affected, and why do they even have the chemical in the first place, Why a pig instead of an alien thats just weird?

I like Mao Mao but the PPG is getting weirder and weirder

I knew it was going to be the professor. Something just told me it was going to be a "twist"

THEY CALL ME *MR. PIG*

*Cinama Sins:* Why was the Professor in a hasmat suit but the Girls didn't have their own. This show just ain't well written.

Glad this is the final season and hopefully we all never have to suffer Professor Moron anymore (he doesn’t even deserve the name Utonium at this point).

“I drew this on between panic attacks” Same

seems the Prof fell victim to the dummy cartoon father trope

All of them jumping on each other would’ve worked if they had been in quarantine for a long time and were starting to lose it, and start to call random things the others do signs of being the monster in hopes to get out.

my reaction is "If one of them is infected why lock them together? why not lock them up alone?"

Quarantine makes sense but why together and not separately?

Hello again my friend sorry I have been to check out this video i was away for the while

Narrator:The City of Townsvile and its quarantine. No one is on the streets because its Quarinteen. No government toady because its quarantine. Not even any crime because of quarantine. Run little Guy run and hide its quarantine. And Definately no crime fighting becasue its quarantine

How to do this plot better. Drop the chemical and the quarenteen. Just have Blossom bitten by a vampire and her sisters and the professor try to keep her from biting or killing people until they find a cure.

Og professor would have solved this in 1 hour and slaps the reboot proferssor

I just wanna shout out that sweet Thunderwave Cave music. PMD music is amazing for background listening.

9:30 I mean like, tiredness is often a reaction to an infection

15:49 That killed me 🤣

*Coronavirus Exists* Wow! The PPG Reboot can really predict 2020!

The plot in this episode really is a mess even by kids tv standard, its like they actively didn't want to put in effort in making this story cohesive. It's also pretty sad with how they handled the professor, I mean the dumbass dad trope was already overplayed and called out by everyone before this show even aired yet they still went full force with and didn't try to fix the issue even after viewers and fans complained. It really does feel like the people behind the show don't care anymore and just pumping these episodes out for a pay check.

Shadow Streak, in the middle of watching your review of this episode I suspected that the dumb inflictor of pain and suffering; also know as Professor Utonium was the monster. Before, you said the professor was the monster, and I groaned in frustration over the obvious reveal. I honestly wonder, if this show wasn't a reboot. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were 18-24 year old versions of themselves and the show had competent writing, but alas it is just a pipe and the professor busted it. Edit: Edited out dumb***, because it is a family show.

This episode is more relevant now than ever.

You should make a tier list of ppl 2016 season 3

I have something to say Shadow streak. What if the 3 years thing was the most and a day, a few hours or minutes was the least amount of time for the virus to take full effect?

There was an episode of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! called Thingy, 8th episode of season 1, it’s a much better version of this ending

1:45 Ms Keane had every right to beat his ass in that episode.
