I meant ancestor, not descendant lol.

The reboot writers after putting the RRBs in the background: “Our work here is done.” The PPG fandom: “But you didn’t do anything.” The writers: *Walks away*

Writers: "Hey look! It's the Rowdyruff Boys!" Me: "YAY!" Writers: "And their three-second cameo as we focus more on your favorite character: Donny the Unicorn!" Me: "...….Well, I don't know what I expected."

If you ask me, I think The RowdyRuff Boy are just cameos they went and wasted.

The girls singing along to a song together as Blossom drives in a race..... that’s..... fucking adorable!

The climax is easily solvable. Blossom, being the smart one, realizes that the eclipse is almost over. She then has Buttercup and Bubbles fly into the sky and blow the clouds away, while Blossom aims the recharged weapon and fires at Jamore. Simple enough, I'd say.

As someone who loved their debut episode in the original series, I feel like the RRBs were better off not being included since their cameo was so half assed. Even with Boomer's cute little shark helmet, it just was like... yep, they're there. Oh, they're gone now. Nice. What a waste of time. Also, slight nitpick, but you called the mage the Mayor's 'descendant' when you should have called him the Mayor's ancestor.

I never really watched the original show much as a kid and only got around to seeing it later, but I really dislike how aside from Princess, Mojo, and HIM, the other villains from the original barely get any love. If they're lucky enough to get any more than just a cameo, it's just a role in one episode, usually to prop up the original villain from this show. All that said, when Bubbles turned that song on I was expecting the other two to hate it, because the joke where one characters listens to a song the others hate definitely isn't old, but it was actually really cute and sweet that they all enjoyed it and sung along. I'll give this show a point for that.

is it sad that Mojojo is more of a father than The Professor in this reboot series. . . .

The RowdyRuff Boy 's cameo was just empty shell of their form selfs

Shadow: Who's that furry pink thing? That was sarcasm, I clearly know that was Sedusa. Me: No... That was Jigglypuff

I guess this makes Jemica the best surprise villain of the series, but that's not saying much.

You know when you think about it, jemmica‘s *“supposedly planned”* backstory is the same to Dora. Remember the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy’s character Dora with the lunchbox but it’s reveal to be that Dora is Pandora And she Tricks Mandy of opening the her lunchbox.

"The Rowdy Ruff Boys?!" Kaboom! What a cameo.

Out of all of the appearances in the show, seeing the RRB gave a bit of a smile and excitement for me. I thought they would be a pretty good challenge and balance with the girls but ... they were treated like a secondhand thought - Also ,,,, song was pretty cute, but seemed out of place for a racing event - Also !! It would have been AMAZING to have their karts be stylized to their superhero costumes from the original show !

Seeing Donny getting run over, drowning, and being electrocuted is giving all kinds of catharsis right now. Hopefully this is the last time we see this character.

Honestly, I have to give the reboot credit for when they try to create actual villains with actual evil plans, and I think Jemmica could have worked well as the new central antagonist for PPG2016 if she was fleshed out more. Say, if they had her as a recurring antagonist in seasons 1 and 2, gradually collecting artifacts in the background, then in the season 3 premiere they reveal the twist and make a more serialized story for the cast of characters to resist her, then have her be the final battle for the series finale. Hell, do Bliss vs. Jemoire, give both of them proper payoff. I know some fans would be disappointed that a new character would be the "big bad" instead of Mojo or HIM, but I don't think the creation of new villains was ever the problem with the series, just not handling them (or anyone) very well.

“Hmm...how can we bring back the RRB in a satisfying way that will no doubt excite the fans?” “A split second cameo with no build up or explanation?” “You’re a genius!”

This show is actually very educational. It's been scientifically proven that preteen white girls come from Egyptian deities being cursed with rocks and sticks.

Ah yes, Sedusa always had the best banjo solos in the old show.

I will admit. As someone who is a fan of the Rowdyruff boys, that scene (or cameo) alone was very disappointing. This show is like: "Hey, heard you like the RRBs. So here's a clip of them and you'll likely never seen them again! Just like the other classic PPG villains!" I feel like the reboot just rushed it and call it a day -_-

Me and my friend actually started screaming at the TV when the Rowdyruff Boys appeared, and then screamed more, in anger, when they exploded. Also, why the HELL didn't Blossom just use her ice breath on Jemora?! It would have had the same effect, just less effort.

Shadow: was this really worth it? Me: F*** NO!!

In the inevitable new new reboot of PPG, I think Jemore would be a cool big bad finale villain if given enough screentime and backstory

Jemmica's new design is so much better and memorable. Why couldn't we have that?

It’s like they found competent writers, but they couldn’t fix what happened in past episodes.

This episode is basically Wacky Races all over again but I'm not surprised that Rowdyruff Boys appeared in this episode.

Btw, even though it's irrelevant to this particular episode, my personal head cannon is that the unnamed cosmic bear from Largo is named Moderato, a medium speed in music theory.

You know the lack of rowdy rough boys kind of plays into The older villains not being present as much.

Honestly, I feel like they should have kept Bubbles with her sisters. They lost a lot of time to set other things up by showing her driving through so many different places, when they could have shown references to these places by having references in the background of the race and having parts of the race take place in those settings. That time could have been dedicated to giving Jemora/Jemore a longer reign as an evil dictator, which would have allowed you to see not only how dangerous she is, but to see what the world could be like if she succeeded. Plus, it would leave more room for tension. Imagine if the girls and Mojo teamed up, having worked out that while the girls try to slow Jemora's army down, Mojo had to improve on his invention so it would freeze Jemora in place rather than slow her down. It would give time to also show the girls struggling (not because of incompetence, please) to take her down, establishing why they need help and further solidifying why Jemora is dangerous. To help tie in the visuals thematically, the episode could have gradually gotten darker with clouds slowly coming in, giving room to really feel the tension and change. When Mojo returns, he gives the girls the decelerator to use, and (so they can keep the solar powered device joke) the girls can freak out because he forgot to change that it's solar powered and he can defend that he was under pressure. The joke, because time is running out, can be faster paced than it was in the actual episode. So the girls, thinking on their feet (to show that, yes, they are capable heroines that can problem solve) realize the eclipse might not be over, so they fly above the clouds to catch the last sunlight while Mojo does what he can to impede Jemora. The device charges just enough for one last shot, so they have to make it count. They manage to land their shot and save the day. This all could have felt way less contrived and out of nowhere, and the plot hole of Jemora being frozen instead of slowed would be solved. It would also show the girls winning because their ability to think like heroines and work together (along with Mojo), not because raw luck that would allow anyone to defeat Jemora.

Honestly it would be interesting to see what this reboot would do with the RRB if they tried to, but considering how it handled other characters in the og series maybe we should be thankful they're a cameo so they aren't given enough time to be ruined for fans who like them. If I were a small child and I never saw the og series though I would be incredibly curious and confused about these random villains who resemble the PPG who show up and don't come back. If the show ain't gonna explain or give any attention to these villains for new fans to know what they're all about then I'm not sure why they even have them at all.

I had the same question about the annual eclipse. As for the Rowdyruff Boys cameo, if it had paid off from them returning later in the series, then yes, it would be worth it. As it is now, it’s just a waste of time and animation. Seriously, how many fans did they piss off by not having them be actual villains in an episode? And I agree, that song parody was pretty good. I’d love to hear it in full. And it’s ancestor, not descendant.

I don't really get the point of the Rowdyruff Boys' cameo. Old fans aren't going to get much out of it (maybe even get annoyed that that's all that they did with them) and anyone who hasn't seen the original show (especially little kids, their target demographic) is likely going to be confused and/or curious as to what's up with these male clones of the Power Puff Girls. Same goes for any of the cameos of the villains from the original show, for that matter. Jemica turning out to be an evil sorceress could've been fine if they at least tried to build it up in previous episodes. Maybe have her trying to find the mcguffins she needs to return to her true form and at least try to imply there's something more to her then just a treasure hunting kid who's a jerk. And it's not like they haven't done overarching plotlines with their villains before, like Silico. Though I imagine this whole thing with her being an evil sorceress was not something they thought about until this episode. Maybe they thought doing a Wacky Racers plot wasn't enough for an interesting episode and just decided to throw in this random twist to try and raise the stakes. Also, how did the Mayor turn back to normal? The last we saw of him before the ending, he was turned into sand and it doesn't look like they mention anything about him turning back to normal or the magic wearing off.

I loved the Rowdyruff Boys. They were my favorite villains besides Mojo Jojo.

I am glad that the RRB showed up in this episode, just to let us know that our boys are still alive 👌

I think it's better that the RowdyRuff Boys were present if only for those 3 seconds because it at least proves the staff acknowledge their existence.

Oh man here we go with the Rowdyruff Boys 🤣. I remember when some of my old internet friends were like “I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE ROWDYRUFF BOYS ARE GONNA DO IN FUTURE EPISODES!!!” And I’m like bruh it’s just a cameo they haven’t been established to come back later. But they were convinced. That’s one of my biggest “I told you so” moments of my life 🤣 I feel like Blossom’s Rainbow Rocket kart suits Bubbles more than Bubbles I would’ve given Blossom some rose themed kart. I swear Blossom and Bubbles keep getting their traits mixed up. Stay safe as always everyone!!! 💙💖

So, they turned Jemmica into Pandora from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy? Really?

Apart from the RRB's cameo and a few of the plot holes, this was actually the first episode of the PPG reboot that I kinda enjoyed!

This episode truly shows of just how much this show has abandoned the original show's characters in favor of their own OCs. Really makes me wonder why this is attached to ppg at all.

The RRB showing up is like a less insulting version of when ttg had red x “return”

A three second cameo and they couldn't even bother to give Boomer the right eye color. I would be happier if they didn't show up at all.

Did anyone else wait the 18 months to see this XD

Wouldn't it have made more sense for Him to have been the one to de-power Jamorae and turn her into a powerless, immortal child?

I see the RRB’s cameo as worth it because it’s nice seeing them again but, I never really thought much of them as characters. Mojo just flat out blasts his own sons and, that’s about it. Also this episode came out on my birthday in 2018 so, I love that their only cameo happened on my birthday

I see Jemmica's story alittle similar to Pandora' backstory to Billy and Mandy but Instead of treating someone on opening her lunchbox only to have her curse Instead we get discount Thanos References with the staff along with Rise Of Lyric with the kinda army. Also; hey Rowdyruff Boys abit late to the party I see but I still say It's still for the better anyway. Since no one else made a Super Smash Bros Ultimate Joke yet, I'll just come an say It (Almost) EVERYONE IS HERE!!!!

Ofc some of the original villains would be taken out easily. Fuzzy and the Rowdyruff Boys were taken out just like that while the more favored original villains like Mojo and Princess lasted longer in the race.

Not going to lie, when the song started playing and Blossom and Buttercup looked so ticked at first only to start singing the song with glee, I got a chuckle out of that.

Honestly, again, if CN ever gives this franchise another shot... PLEASE, writers, if you reboot this series again, give it the Scooby Doo, Mystery Inc., Netflix’s Voltron, or the Ducktales 2017 treatment.

Writers: Here’s your RRB cameo. Me: Thanks, I hate it. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they had appeared in another episode. But I hate the way it was.

Seeing the PPG’s kart just screams “Sonic Raider” vehicle the ninjas used before. Plus it would’ve been better to have them separate the kart into smaller vehicles.

Something I noticed halfway through this video Some of the characters from the original PPG series get taken out by characters from the reboot. I could be wrong but seeing this gives off the impression the staff intentionally did this to mock fans of the original, as if to say "these characters aren't as cool as the ones we made" idk maybe i'm reading to deep into it also just pointing out you made a mistake when talking about Jemmica's backstory, you called the Mage the Mayor's Descendant when it was suppose to be his Ancestor

The ppg, the rrb, and a fan These were the ingredients to chosen to create the perfect fan story But their imagination accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction- Rule 34 Thus, the ultimate uncomfortable fan fic was born.

So, I remember seeing a clip of the RRBs being in this episode but I had no idea that the Jemmica twist was a thing. That took a weird twist.

I’m glad the rowdyruff boys returned for a bit, that was a great nostalgic moment

6:57 Is this Bubble or DeeDee?

I don't even think the rowdyruff boys were fanservice, they very well might have been a JAB at the fans, considering they get the "YAMCHA'S HERE- YAMCHA'S DEAD!" treatment. I mean, it could have been intended as a fanservice but I only say that as the reboot staff has already proven themselves as incompetent to things like subtly, pacing, and LOLSORANDOM humor, it could have been ANYTHING.

The one thing that really got a laugh out of me was the ‘wait a minute this isn’t my theme song’ part though this was really short lived and got a quick puff of air out of me

It's a complete ass pull for a character no one really remembered with very little payoff. If they wanted to have the idea that Jemmica was someone else, why not drop clues a bit more within the two other episodes she showed up? Both of those episodes presented her more as a friendly foe to the girls, someone they had 50/50 trust in so you'd think they'd play with this by giving her MORE episodes with the one leading up to this possibly ending with her doing something to set up trust between the girls only for them to be backstabbed at the end with this reveal. On top of that, did Jemmica NEED to be given the items in order to return to her human form? What if her plan hadn't gone through and one of the other characters HAD won? She would have been fucked so it makes the whole point of there even being a race at all a complete theme asspull. They wanted to have a Mad Max/Death Race style episode but tripped to the finish line (BAD DUM TISH) by throwing in this needless character and plot thread about a character who comes off like they threw in this 'reveal' to create a false sense of importance to her. Jemmica shows up in what, two other episodes before this? And they're so spread out that you forget that she's even a character. Hell, the Gnat is more memorable than Jemmica and his whole point IS to be a joke but that works in his favor. As you said, Jemmica is such a massive cliche that even as herself she leaves no impact. This is similar to how they reveal Allegro to be one half of another bear; it's presented as if the audience is supposed to be shocked by this but we're not, mostly because people don't like Allegro and they broke their own continuity with him considering he was originally supposed to be an even smaller bear within the larger bear body. That's the problem with nearly all the twists in the series. They're presented as something that actually breaks the reasoning to why they exist in the first place. Donnie magically being a unicorn despite being left as a horse and his shitty kind just leaving him there was the start of this. Then there was Silico's time lapse plothole, the Fashionista wedding, Princess and Blossom being friends, Bliss' existence, Allegro's origins and now this. The show seems to think it earns it's shock through twist by default, not understanding a thing about build-up. There was no build-up to Jemmica being this in the past even with her love for ancient artifacts because before then, there was no indication that they had any other meaning to her outside of what they did when they were put into effect. I guess the argument could be that each one could be used on the girls to get what she wanted but considering how each one was destroyed so easily by them, Jemmica was better off NOT involving the girls in her hunts because they always stopped her in the end anyway so she should have known to make sure they knew nothing about her activity since they were the biggest obstacle she faced. But I don't know. This is the final seasons so I'm used to how these episodes go off in the end.

I actually kinda like the design of Buttercup's motorcycle. Her helmet fits into there so perfectly.

Donny. Oh. I’m excited. Truly....

I know it’s not the point, but seeing something called the Road Raptor being decked out in spikes when _Velociraptor mongoliensis_ was feathered gives me pain.

Well, considering the Rowdyruff Boys appearances after their debut wasn't as special, I can see this cameo being reflected on that.

They should not have been mentioned..at all. I said before, they're my favorite Antagonists of the girls and should have had more in the original. The reboot just butchered a lot of what was great with the original.

You can say.. The karts were eclipsed by the second half of the episode. [And likewise with Mojo]

Thanks for covering the episode, Shadow. You're still the best, even to this day and i'm not ashamed to admit that.💙❤️💚 Oh BTW, this is my favorite episode of the reboot! No joke! 😀😀😀

Shadow: I know that was Seduca Me * sees it’s actually fuzzy* Again Me: Wow 😆😆 LOL Way off man P.S. Jemica’s real form is pretty awesome in my opinion

is it just me or does Boomer's eyes seems lighter than his brothers and his clothing?

Seeing the Rowdyruff Boys was worth it because I wanted to know if there were Cannon to the reboot

Maybe we should be thanking them. They spared the Rowdy Ruff Boys from terrible writing by barely putting them in a episode

Me, at the beginning of the video: I mean it just looks like it'll be some generic racer episode but thats fine i guess Me at 16:21: *_WHAT_* Ok, for reals tho I doubt this is something that was planned, they just thought it would be a cool twist but it fits enough with her interests that its not _as_ jarring, but still a big 'WTF' moment if i've ever seen one. Also, i do like the rowdy ruff boys even if they are just clones of the girls (the reboot taking that quite literally with their cart just being a color swap with a skull in front instead of a heart) but like... there was no reason for them to put them in this episode just to embarrass them like this. They already ruined my girls then they had to go a ruin my bois too 😞

Shadow in 2016: Jemmica isn’t interesting and she’s just boring Shadow in 2020: *WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK*

Maybe the dungeon in the Phantasm Casm game is based on a (for them) real life dungeon or temple or something and that’s what Bubbles drove through? IDK, that’s my best guess. And It is annoying they had to bring Donny in, but it is a bit satisfying seeing Bubbles not see him and run him over!

F in the chat for Packrat.

That cameo should’ve become a full on episode, we could’ve got a whole episode like “The Boys are Back in Town”

The Jemmica reveal kind of reminds me of Orgalorg from Adventure Time, if anyone remembers that

My boys deserved better

*rowdyruff boys appeared in this episode* Me:This is so exciting! *they get blasted by mojo jojo* Me:Damn u,cartoon network!

Damn, I will never look at past Jemmica episodes the same way again...

I love how Jemmica got frozen. So anti-climatic it was funny. XD

Bubbles little helmet is so cute

I also loved the song (although I didn't hear the original version before, I only heard the translated one). RRB's cameo feels fine but I just don't believe they could be distracted by Mojo's rockets. And hell *I EVEN THINK THAT IT MATCHES THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL PPG* (4th season, even better than episodes like "Nano of the North")

A car racing episode? Oh it totally hasnt been done before in the whoop ass stew short and in the 10th anniversary ppg rule special.

I think the absolute funniest shit about the Ruffs being blown up was that it was done by Mojo to get ahead. Fucked over by their own father. 😔

I just have no idea why the reboot doesn't use the original villain cast. Theyre all so much more interesting than everything the reboot made. What a waste.

For the clouds disappearing could of been Poseidon's doing... yeah it's far fetched but if he's a god of the sea or whatever, maybe he possibly would've been able to move them?

17:33 Mrs. Bellum... I don't feel so good...

I think the main reaosn this reveal about Jemmica is hard to grasp is ebcause 1) the two forms share llike NO elements beyond gender so they really do just seem like two seperate character haphazardly meshed together and 2) there's NO build up to this, it just suddenly HAPPENS in an episode that was otherwise NOT about or focused on Jemmica. But as you said, the fact it ties into her obsession with stealing artifiacts does work, as before her motives for stealing treasure were nonexistant and made her seem flat as a result.

I will admit I love Jemmories design. She looks like an Ancient Egyptian Empresses mixed with a demonic mummy, and I love it! Easily one of the best designs the reboot came up with. I know that’s not saying much since the shows art style is terrible, but when they do something right, they do something right!

As far as the reboot goes, This was actually a pretty cool episode. I like the wacky racers parody plus new Jemmica was a cool villain. Problems aside of course.

You know, I’m aware you needed to establish all the characters first, but I’m getting legitimately sad that episodes of actual quality are showing up in the final season and not the FIRST. This episode, Blundercup, the Fashionistas Mind Control Episode, Largo (I don’t care what people say. I liked that episode), all seem like there was more effort being put into them than the majority of the first two SEASONS. (Leave it to this show to give us stuff we wanted on its way out and it’s too late to change anything) In fact If you take all the good episodes from all three seasons and put them together. You have enough episodes to make one fairly okay reboot season that isn’t despised by basically everyone because of all the EXTREMELY bad episodes in between the actual good ones.

I'm laughing at the fact that Bubbles ran over Donny. XD

So you wanted the rowdyruff boys aannnnd it's gone.

I will admit the twist with the Indiana Jones girl is pretty creative, and the designs for some of the carts (namely the girls' and Mojo's) look cool.

Maybe it's the Boring Cosmic Bear moving the clouds out of the way?

24:17-24:25 Donny finally gets what he deserves!!! 😌

It really says a lot when Fuzzy only fared a single notch better then characters with one scene cameo

this feels like this should just be the end of the series. Its pretty nice actually. Not great but nice

Did someone got drunk and drank coke energy drink and thought hey let’s make the characters better than the original villains. By making the rowdy ruff boys to be hit with explosives and make the bland character become a freaking monster all this time. Note to everyone, don’t drink coke energy drink to stay up all night cause you hear things at night.

You know what would have been an amazing ending to this. Gemore being attacked by Him who does not want her to rule townsville it's his playground after all and then an epic confrontation between the two most powerful characters in the series. Then the girls could have swooped in and defeat the two weakened villains or maybe bubbles who would have been the only ppg not caught up in the fight. I from the beginning was of the impression if somebody destroyed her staff she would have lost her power or at least wouldn't be as powerful anymore.
