Also! No, I don’t like the 2016 Powerpuff Girls--it kind of proves the point that even animated remakes can be bad as well (or at least, not as good as the original). THAT ISN'T TO SAY THAT ALL REMAKES ARE BAD. They aren't. Just many are DX In my version of the CW show that I mentioned in the video, I would also have a plot point where the girls do come to realize that the PPG cartoon isn’t about them. They were made in the image of the show. Along with an identity crisis, they would pay attention to the cartoon and realize that their lives were actually nothing like the lives of the cartoon PPGs. The cartoon PPGs got to go to school, had friends, went to the beach, went to parties. They were a loving family-even though they were heroes, they had a life. They would become jealous of the cartoon PPGs and would resent their childhood even more.

I thought on it and came up with a "darker version of the Powerpuff Girls" idea. The girls and professor learn that the girls, because they are non-human and were created to be the "perfect little girls", will not grow up or age physically. The professor doesn't see it as a problem, after all, who hasn't dreamt of being a kid forever? The girls, on the other hand, are devastated, as the future they thought they would have (dream jobs, families, etc.) is ripped away from them. The girls try to make an artificial way to grow, which is just as hard as it sounds, no hand-waving here. Time passes, they have yet to grow, and the world outgrows them as their friends move on and the villains they fought either get smarter and harder to deal with, move on with their lives, or even die. We could even get so dark that they outlive the professor. I don't know how it would end, but seeing our heroes struggle with these more psychological problems would definitely be interesting.

I like your rewrite a lot more, mostly because you didn’t assassinate Professor Utonium’s character. But seriously, I hate how most remakes these days have to be dark and edgy. Can we really not have something that’s more fun and wholesome? Anyways, keep up the awesome videos! ❤️❤️

Fun fact when Lauren Foust was creating the concept for MLP Friendship is Magic she paid homage to the Power Puff Girls in the characters of the Cuty Mar Crusaders. Their leader is even named Apple BLOOM, and what is a bloom if not a blossom.

The concept of, child character is not having a childhood because abusive parental figure forces them to do hero work is good. It's literally the concept of umbrella academy. They want to do umbrella academy with the Powerpuff girls. WHY?

I feel like a mature show has to have a grounding in reality. I don’t want to spend thirty minutes intervals watching assholes act like three year olds and whining over petty crap. Most adults have more pressing matters to deal with, so these kinds of stories just come off as insulting to our intelligence.

I loved the original Powerpuff Girls when I was growing up. As an adult now, I am pissed how these "producers" and "directors" have decided to shat on everything great about the series.🙄

I listened to a reading of the leaked script and it was pretty bad. 1) The plot was too nonsensical. The girls said they didn't like fighting crime, but if they did nothing the monsters would have just wrecked the town. They were never forced to fight crime they chose to. 2) It was too meta and self-referential. Meta jokes should be quick throw-away gags. Here the professor has a character bible for the girls and they have to follow the character bible. They said they had a cartoon made about them. 3) They made Buttercup a lesbian just because she is a tomboy. Not saying tomboyish lesbains don't exist but its a tad sterotypical. I think they should have made Blossom or Bubbles lesbain if they wanted to change their sexuality.

One of the biggest things that annoyed me about the live action PPG is that being a POC and a lesbian are both things given to Buttercup. She stands out as existing only for 'woke' points. It would've been different and worked way better if say, Bubbles was white, Blossom was Latina, and Buttercup was black, and Bubbles was pan, Blossom was straight (or hell, asexual), and Buttercup was a lesbian. If one girl is going to stand out, they should stand out equally, for lack of a better term because as sentient science experiments, there really is no reason for just Buttercup to be a person of color. It makes sense for them to either be all the same like in the cartoon or all mixed up like in my proposal. Going half way is just bad writing imo

I highly 100% agreed with what you said. I feel like they tried to make money off based on the original version and make it look "the best" live-action but no, they don't realize how the fans' feelings about these remakes. They don't realize how much the fans love the shows so much during their childhood and being part of their lives. Plus, who asks you they want a live-action off from the original version? NOBODY! Just leave the classic shows alone and create your own show. 🙄🙄 One thing I want to talk about is that I'm happy about is that Avatar creators left the Netflix project because they don't like their ideas I believe and I heard that Netflix is aiming for older audiences rather than aiming for everyone which I feel like that's a bad move. Anyway, I think your version is not so bad because I like you added some new characters which totally inspired by PPG. Honestly, this is what I wanted something like this rather than just making a darn live-action. At least your version is pretty much creative here compare to the CW version.

Oh wow, I’d forgotten this was a thing. I just remember reading it and thinking how spiteful the writing felt.

Apparently the execs who make shows nowadays are stuck in 2006 when dark and edgy was all the rage and think it still is today. Hence why every show based on otherwise colorful and cheerful cartoons are remade into a parody of 2006 era media.

You're why does every single animated show needs a live action show, heck?I don't know what does anyone even care about originality anymore

I’m not positive the PPG can work as teenagers and if I’m not certain about teenagers then I have no hope for a adult version

As you re-wrote the Powerpuff Girls at the end, it got a little dark _(struck close to home for me)._ I think it would land with audiences, a lot of teens and some adults feel like they are trapped, having no life or agency, as long as you kept the kind heartedness from the original & let there be/showed that there was hope of them to take back there lives & to be there own people

The problem with remakes is that they always make it something dark or something woke or modern society. Powerpuff girls is a light hearted show about little girls saving the world with their ablities, why make it something about woke culture, add lore and make it, just plain dislikable? Like you are removing the qualities that this show has, I don't need forced representation that y'all woke modern people do.

My main problem is the reason why they made the cartoon based off of the live action one. They clearly wanted to make jabs at it by saying it's racist because the cartoon made Buttercup and the professor white and also calling it homophobic because Buttercup was clearly straight in the cartoon but clearly gay in "real life". Also why specifically Buttercup is the gay black woman? I don't care that they changed the girls race or sexuality but Buttercup is known in the cartoon for not being the smartest of the girls and very short tempered. She's also the most violent of the 3 and the grossest one. So why is she the black gay one?

I personally feel this whole show/reimagining/idea failed from the start due to one simple reason. this show wanted to be a dark, subversive, deconstruction of the powerpuff girls and wanted to ask "what would actually happen to these kids if they grow up" (along the lines of say a story like watchmen, the boys, etc) now that may sound like an interesting concept on paper but it completely misses the point of the original show. the original basis for the powerpuff girls was having these cute, adorable, little girls VIOLENTLY beat up villains, giant monsters, and the devil, that's where the comedy came from. The whole show was based around a farcical idea, the juxtaposition of cute girls beating up giant monsters, that's the point it was a comedy show (the og og pilot for the show they were called the whoopass girls and instead of chemical X it was a can of whoopass). By trying to make it a serious deconstruction you are missing the point entirely, it's like trying to do a critique/deconstruction with the looney tunes, they were never meant to be taken seriously and by doing so you miss the point of said show

Anytime I think about how Warner Bros. keeps misunderstanding the original spirit of Tom and Jerry, I get reminded of how Powerpuff Girls has got it MUCH worse by people who don't understand the intended audience NOR what made the classic series so special and excellent in the first place, not helping that it was a more relatively "modern" Warner/Cartoon Network property created in the late 90s

*Coming soon on the CW:* Dark and Gritty Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends. Bloo is a criminal. Mac is a cop and he has to kill Bloo. He interrogates Wilt because Wilt is one of the witnesses to Bloo's crimes.

good rewrite, it would fit a lot the fact that i think the movie universe should be considerated an alternative universe to the one we know

1:13 I started aggressively humming the theme song lmao

Killing more cartoons are we Hollywood?

Alright this is off topic but why are you so underrated

I agree, the only reason Hollywood does this is because they want to make money off of people favorite franchise but make these live action remakes the way they want not the way the fans and sometimes the creatures of the franchise they make a live action remake want, one example of this is the live action Percy Jackson movies they not only disrespect the original book series and disrespect the fans they also disrespect the creator of the book series by doing everything he said not to do, love the rewrite and the video have a nice day and stay safe.😁👋

You mentioned the live action Winx Club (which I've heard about but never dared to watch). Would you be willing to go over the classic first three seasons of Winx Club? There's many fan fics of it, but I'd like to see what you think and what bothers you most about it.

Hollywood is OBSESSED with remaking old things, like can we make new ideas for once😭

I have never seen the script, but something tells me I should consider myself lucky I didn’t. I think the premise idea is good too, the problem was just the execution. There are lots of potentials they could go with it as well. I really love your rewrite of the premise, it makes a lot more sense than remaking it and character assassinating Professor Utonium. If you want to have a character similar to another, yet be different at the same time, make an original character. Coming from your premise, it would actually be a twist if it was Drake (I’m not gonna call him Professor Utonium cause it would be insulting the actually good professor) who actually created the cartoon villains to life in order to get the Powerpuff girls back (it just took a long time because the villains are so complex and powerful to create). I can’t wait for your video on Powerpuff Girls Z because it was a really good reimagining that I love. It’s unique enough to separate itself from the original cartoon, yet still have connections to at least know it’s still a reimagining from the original.

ah, powerpuff girls reboots never went well did they still remember the 2016 reboot being trashed on all the time like it was yesterday even though it's like 6 years ago used to watch the original ppg all the time on dvds with my sister I did watch the 2016 episodes on tv but it never had the same charm as the original, and I got really bored of it I doubt that this one will be any better and I can say that you explained why really well

This did you ever seen deleted script it feels like an old Tumblr the fanfiction

Honestly, I wish it would focus on the girls being adults and trying to find lives outside their childhood superhero selves.

I love your rewrite!

Its sad, they ruined the characters and the show, i wish they just make new episodes of original show by craig(the original creator)

I use to like watching the powerpuff girls on KZfaq all the time but when they got a new sister I hated her so much that when I stop watching the show.

Hm, fair and valid points, and your version didn’t sound bad, it sounded really interesting, Also, i will look forward to hearing your thoughts on PowerPuff Girls Z. By the way, speaking of darker and more mature reimagining of the PowerPuff Girls, have you ever heard of something called: PowerPuff Girls: Ascension? It’s a Webcomic that also follows a more darker and more mature story for the PowerPuff Girls, but i think it might be way more intriguing than the CW Show, of course can’t really say for sure since the Show hasn’t come out yet, but currently 5 Chapters of the Webcomic is out right now, so it might be worth a read if you’re interested? Also, speaking of Webcomics, have you ever heard of PowerPuff Girls D? Just in case PowerPuff Girls: Ascension is not your cup of tea, this story might be, so i think it’s worth checking out just as much, again only if you’re interested, of course? And unless you already have of course too.

love that your rewrite was basically the umbrella academy ;D

When you read the premise I reacted like… oh no they’re gonna cash in the success of umbrella academy to powerpuffgirls.

Yours is so messed up, I love it. It'd have to be in VERY good hands though.

I like your remaster of the pilot of the power puff girls! It's awesome!🏆 Also I watched Saint Tails, took a lot of searching but it was well worth it 🌟

No, we don't need them to be as dark as their inspiration: sailor moon

I never watched the powerpuff girls but l don't really don't want a remake of the powerpuff girls in live action but l did watch winx club and l also watched the live action of winx club it was weird ......

Honestly, the only way I can see PPG working as live action show is something in terms like Full House or ALF, cheesy sitcom where we are aware that many situations are overly exaggerated but still funny and cute. Profesor Utonium could be more of the focus as the single father of the three superhero girls (don't change their age!) and we could use characters from the original cartoon. But PPG never were meant to be live action show, maybe one movie or special would work, but not this pice of garbege CW try to sell to the fans.

so basically in this version, Drake is just Endeavor from MHA lol

Powerpuffgirls live action is so bad because it was maked by the CW

powerpuff girls z? I saw some part of it (only little, because I wished to see it in italian, but unlucky for me it is no where to be found) but as i said in another comment, i really like some ppg z design, and as i have said for that movie, i think it should be considerated an alternative universe to the main one

Wow! Your premise sounds way more interesting

Your version makes me feel intrigued. Like what happen next?! Someone complete it pls?!?

I wonder if this show is still being made- I haven't heard anyone talk about it for awhile 🤔 I wonder if it got cancelled...

Hi Alo! I'm just checking in ive been busy so how have you been? Love your videos!

A live action movie would work if they would actually have actresses that are children since they aren’t supposed to be teens or adults they are supposed to be Kindergarten Kids.

I like your version! Though I never watched powerpuff girls (I saw the 2016 reboot and I thought is was good but I know the original is way better) but I've being wanting to do so 'cos it sounds like something I'd love! I saw a part of the script for the remake and...oh boy

I know nothing about this but I already hate Buttercup's look. Why can't she just have a bob like she always did, it's her iconic style

The human Designs don,t look to bad its just a matter of execution, you clearly have a deep love for Art.

The powerpuff girls were my also one of my fev.catoon on Catoon Network also I liked the anime

To reinforce the idea that bad faith reboots are just as shite as poorly executed live action reboots, - Thundercats Roar - Teen Titans Go (I suppose this one wasn't exactly in poor taste, but both the show itself *and* a handful of it's viewers began molding the energy around the show to be as much) - She-ra: Princesses of Power (Yet another one that might not have been in poor taste, if not for the energy surrounding the show and how the creators spoke about the original series) - I'd add the most recent He-man reboot in here too, if not because of how its creator spoke about it, then for the controversy surrounding it leading to how the energy surrounding the show was enough to give people whiplash. People get their hands on an old show and they're expected to at least respect what was done before that point, but there are always people who will openly and vocally make fun of the way original material was made or how it was written because they personally didn't like it. It's happened with comic books, movies, shows, etc. People who actually like the newer reboots will hide behind the argument that critics are too opinionated, but if they genuinely believe it's better, then they seem to conveniently forget that that itself is a matter of opinion. Most just don't appreciate being told by someone who's banking on their pre-existing fandom that the thing they're a fan of isn't as good as the thing they're making.

Okay, so take this with a grain of salt because I write fanfic. But I enjoy when there is a healthy mix of dark moments and the original style in things like this. Look up CW Monster High fanfic. It is perfect representation for what I mean. The characters are themselves, just with darker moments, they curse at moments where anyone would curse, it’s funny. The trick is finding a balance with everything, and keeping what made people like the show in the first place. Point is, a live action remake has the POTENTIAL to be super, or had. If they do it with a balance of everything.

I would watch the new power puff girls, if they switched dove Cameron. Just because she acts more like blossom or buttercup than bubbles.

We really need to take to consideration who the show is made for. Let's talk about the animated remake. True, I don't like it. But being born in 1990, I watched ppg from the very beginning and enjoyed every second of it. Now the generation is different. I hate admitting that I'm old but 8 year old kids now have nothing in common with 8 year olds in 1998. Which is not bad, just a fact. So I kind of expected not to like it even before I watched it. The live action remake on the other hand... You (the writer) need to know that if you're doing a show for adults, those are the same adults that were kids in 1998, so keep it similar to the original, because when nostalgia kicks in people are very sensitive. With that being said, I love your version of the story. Now a bit off topic but I would love to read a fantasy book series written by you. 😉

Oh no

I love your spin on the show, definitely a lot better than what CW has going on.

After hearing a reading of the script, I can't help but feel like I judged the 2016 series too harshly.

I love your re-write

That blue girl in the left (in the thumbnail)...is that dove cameron?

Heck the cw might not be around much longer

I Sorta Want To Make A 2d Animated Movie Based On The Powerpuff Girls That’s Like A Combination Of The Og Show And PPGZ, And I Will Respect The Og Power Puff Girls.

why would they make the powerpuff girls in live action.

Good news, everyone! It has been cancelled!

Woohoo! The live action PPG is cancelled!

Oh my gosh that beginning! YES!! There will never be a time when I stop enjoying things that are vibrant and colourful. Stop trying to be dark and edgy - we want to see what's on the screen. One look at the actors for the reboot and I'm already sure that its gonna be woke boring bullshit. Buttercup is now a lesbian African woman and of course she and Blossom are wearing business suits.

can someone please tell me why they keep tampering with powerpuff girls 😣

That premise you came up with was dark and low key terrifying ngl but is better than that cringe woke premise.

I like the live action Dora movie

I CALLED IT. I knew they will do dumb shit like that such as character assassination, forced sjw agenda, etc. Shit, now it kinda make me sad.

...isn't that the idea behind the umbrella academy?

i don't know ?

Hm, interesting.

Jesus loves you
