Animated Atrocities 115 || "Painbow" [Powerpuff Girls 2016]

[@365ral]

Even Craig McCracken (the creator of the original PPG) asked CN not to reboot the show in that fashion. That says a LOT

[@Cure_Hana]

If you ask me, Craig is having a really bad year right now! Not only is Cartoon Network beating his first show into the ground, but now Disney is screwing him over by canceling Wander Over Yonder, just because they thought two seasons were enough!

[@flowerbunny91]

Net works ALWYAS exploit successful shows for their own benifit and it's always MY favorite shows. If wish PPG could've been left alone.

[@Squalidarity]

Somewhere, Craig McCracken rolls in his grave. And he's not even dead yet.

[@krystaldragon17]

+Cure Hana no one was watching the shows when they premiered.

[@jaysonklein6018]

+krystaldragon17 becausr everyone was worried Wander would've been "Foster's Home #2"... or at least I did. I regret it now, since Wander Over Yonder is great.

[@DarkEcho32]

They cut out one character for having boobs and get rid of the boobs on another despite both being grown women...but they have no problem drugging two little girls before sexualizing them. This kind of thing is why I don't forgive shows or have faith in people anymore.

[@shadenox8164]

Don't forget adding a villain with boobs in the same episode as getting rid of Miss Bellum. So guess only villains are allowed to have them.

[@RhysezPieces]

+Wof Banazeraf boobs are like guns: if you have them out in public, people get uncomfortable.

[@darrelsam419]

I really don't understand the logic to this show. Are they worried that kids are afraid of boobs? You know, a normal part of the body their moms and many women have??

[@SuperCaptureDevice]

Evil Cleavage.

[@GabrielAidley]

+Dawn Darrel Samaitha Agreed

[@PandFPinky]

The twerking in this episode is so disgusting to watch the creators are clearly desprate to appeal to a younger audience

[@toughguineapig]

True

[@meh9705]

Because the children in this generation are fucking stupid, let's be real here.

[@thetoontastictoon1720]

+james valcourt my little sister doesn't really fancy twerking tho so I strongly disagree I sincerely hope this generation isn't *really* into twerking I'm also personally not into it, I find it sexually UNappealing, it's nasty to me, basically waving your shithole around and recording it like you're *proud..* I hope it's just a dumb joke..

[@meh9705]

The Toontastic Toon most. Most children in this generation, I apologize for singling them all out. There are children out there that can be easily influenced by the shit on TV and online. Twerking I'm sure is one of them.

[@thetoontastictoon1720]

Alright, and true

[@halfdemonprince]

Here are a few problems I have with the show: 1. Aren't the girls supposed to be 5? If they're in first grade then they should be about 6 which makes sense, but all the other kids look and act like they're at least 12. 2. Elementary schools don't have lockers! I don't know why animators keep doing that. News flash, only middle and high schools have lockers, and if they wanted the girls in middle school then age them to be 12. 3. Why do the all girls suddenly have Green Lantern powers? In the original when Blossom suddenly got freeze breath and Bubbles revealed that she could speak Spanish that made sense since it was apart of the chemical X mutation, and it made them more unique beyond their personalities. Now they can all do the same thing it makes them more boring. 4. The action is so watered down it makes 1980 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles look like The Bourne Identity. 5. What made the original so good is it focused less on the girls' personal lives and more on their superhero aspects. Let's face it there aren't much interesting things to taken about school other than how much it sucks. If I wanted to see a young girl with super powers endure the awkwardness of school while fighting crime on the side I'd watch My Life as a Teenage Robot. 6. Did the new writers even look into Ms. Bellum's character at all? She was basically the voice of reason and the girl's mentor. Her own name was to emphasize how she was the brains of Townsville. Yet because her body type was a parody of the "sexy assistant" the creators decided that she was not a good influence for kids, while at the same time showing a new female villain with bigger hips than Jessica Rabbit and representing every negative female stereotype worse than Seduca. 7. That's another thing where the fuck are all the good villains? Another thing about the Power Puff Girls is they had an vast and amazing Rouge's Gallery. 8. 2:57 It would be amazing if they did an episode on how Ms. Keane doesn't have breasts because had breast cancer and it was so sever that she had to get a double mastectomy. That would be the perfect serious issue to address considering this show aims towards girls. It also would teach kids how people who are strong aren't just the one's who can lift a truck with one finger. 9. Also apparently there's a new Powerpuff Girl. Yup, they're officially going Fairly Odd Parents. Thinking that adding a new character will save their dying show.

[@briankentpirrie5228]

this is teen titans go 2.0.

[@xavier8951]

40 XDDD Yeah, they didn't really thought through this.

[@hvegaval]

My elemantary school had lockers.(don’t get this wrong,I liked your comment I just stated my own experience.)

[@ashleighstangeland5046]

40 XDDD okay I agree.... but there sadly IS a reason why there is Bliss...... in the original the girls created a purple wearing Powerpuff girls named Bunny but they messed up the ingredients and made her wrong and by the end of the episode Bunny explodes and dies so Bliss was made as a way to hinder to the older audience and ATTEMPT to get them to watch it....... One thing EVERYONE that loved bunny including me absolutely HATE and I mean HATE Bliss the only this similar to BUNNY is the fact that they both wear purple! you know what..... PPG 16 having the original voice actress definitely wouldn't help I mean TTG has the original VAs and that's bombing horribly

[@karisanderson5278]

40 XDDD My elementary school had lockers, but they didn't have real locks with a combination, but they still count

[@Reckno64]

Tara Strong literally called it a "stab in the heart" when they didn't let her reprise her role. Considering all things, she was certainly not the only one stabbed in the heart....

[@justhere4022]

Really she didn't even get to replay her role? Damn that's stupid. She's a very good voice actress but then again she should probably be glad not to be associated with this.

[@thetoontastictoon1720]

Poor Tara... It's not like she's DEAD, give the woman her role! then something out of this reboot could've REALLY been pleasurable.. hearing her great voice again.. (but then maybe it's a good thing since most ppl find this reboot shitty.. Tara deserves better.)

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

NONE of the original Girls were remotely contacted to reprise their roles or even inform them they weren't doing it. It's like when Ryan Drummond caught wind of Shadow the Hedgehog being developed, but Sega stopped him and said "Oh did we forget to tell you you've been permanently replaced by the guy that did the voice of Sonic for the anime dub? Sorry about that."

[@Antasma1]

She should be thankful she wasn't a part of this.

[@Reckno64]

From Wikipedia: "The recasting of the main characters came to the sadness of Cavadini, Daily, and Strong-the latter of whom, on Twitter, called it "a stab in the heart". She had announced after the upfront in February that this was a "strictly creative" decision by the network, though in June of the same year said that the network had never contacted either her or Cavadini and Daily prior to the decision to recast." Who knows why they weren't contacted while other voice actors like Tom Kenny and Tom Kane were allowed to reprise their roles? All I can think of is that they wanted "fresh new faces" or something. And while I completely understand why they SHOULD be thankful for not being a part of a crappy new show, I also think that if the voice actresses were allowed to reprise their roles, they would at least keep SOME originality of their original character, such as the case with Teen Titans Go. With new voice actors, they are all completely different people in a sense if you know what I mean. Just my opinion.

I just looked at Rotten Tomatoes. This show has a 0% audience approval rating. For comparison, the Emoji Movie has a 40% audience approval rating.

[@zzz43344]

My God... THIS actually has a lower Rotten Tomatoes audience approval rating than The Emoji Movie?! *THE EMOJI MOVIE?!?!* Man, how low cartoons have sunk...

[@helenakoerner5536]

You know you fucked up when the approval rating is lower than the emoji movie.

[@zooemperor3954]

[@lukebytes5366]

Tbf, the emoji movie started out with a 5% approval rating i think.

[@litlblkhouse]

That means EVERYONE hates this reboot. Emoji Movie, that score was basically rigged (or "review bombed"); now that they banned user reviews, look at Emoji Movie's audience score now without the fake reviews.

[@bjorlam168]

This really is bugging me. Just seeing Bubbles yell "YAASS" and the twerking, it made me realize how downhill the cartoon community has really gone. I mean, it's not even just Cartoon Network. Nickelodeon is trying so desperately to appeal to the younger audience, that it's actually sickening. Using Vine terms and slang, it's the most annoying thing on the planet. Not to mention the downright poorly made shows with absolutely no plot. These channels are the equivalent of the shit you'd find in the Taco Bell restrooms. they're so bad, that staring at a pile of trash for 30 minutes would be more entertaining. Seeing these once wonderful cartoons disapear into thin air and getting replaced by crap like this, it's like a kick in the heart.

[@jayahnh9591]

YASS means "yes, a sex slave" HASNT JACKSFILMS TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING PPG?

[@lethallightning2]

JayAhn H I have found a fellow famsquad

[@arthas640]

cartoon executives are often pretty old, like over 50, so many of them are out of touch with kids today. it doesnt help that our pop culture is moving and evolving at a faster and faster rate so in a matter of a year something can go from a cool new fad to burned out joke whereas 20 years ago that process would take at least a few years, plenty of time to catch on and make it into the next season of a show. They could avoid that whole out of touch humor by sticking to the more retro style of the old show but unfortunately when you're devoid of creativity it's easier to just try and cram in as many pop culture refrences as possible and hope something sticks.

[@GhostlyFyre]

4 years later and that message has only gotten more relevant.

[@sherifflasso]

My youngest sister, who is the target demographic, is the least amused by these Networks trying (and failing) to be relevant in this way.

[@daevenville7114]

I think they saw Steven Universe and went "Hey, let's pander with Tumblr so we can be popular!" Little do they know what the fandom is like.

[@anthonyrodriguez1119]

very likely

[@TheJustin4848]

This show has nothing to do with Steven Universe.

[@anthonyrodriguez1119]

+TheJustin4848 well no but it is trying to pander to us similar messages only much less subtle in other words they saw a show like Steven universe was doing well and decided to try it themselves

[@TheJustin4848]

Anthony Rodriguez Except Steven Universe has a deep story and character development. This show definitely does not.

[@anthonyrodriguez1119]

TheJustin4848 the point im trying to make is that there trying to emulate the show and failing it has nothing to do with good plot or good character's

[@foreverafail2975]

Why Bellum? I mean yes we thought she was kinda sexual. But you know its not that hard to make her smart and a good character, overcoming her sex object status. She was already a strong character, heck she beat up a villain who used men!

[@reasyrandom]

Ah, yes. Miss Bellum beating the crap out of Sedusa is one of the few things I remember about the original. I love this memory.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

She was attractive and sexual, but also strong and intelligent. Someone pointed out that she even looks like a brain...like, her figure looks like a brainstem and her wild hair is the brain itself. And like...early Mayor seemed a bit more eccentric and childish as opposed to straight up idiotic, so Ms Bellum was sort of the calm, down-to-Earth one who steered him in the right direction.

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

Dr. Alto Clef If only a lot more females in this world were like this, instead of... well I'm sure you know the type of "females" I'm thinking about. (P.S. I'm not trying to sound sexist, here.)

[@47ratsinahoodie]

When I was little and watched the original Powerpuff Girls, I always thought that, even though we never saw her face, Ms. Bellum was super smart and really cool. I did think she was pretty but that was never the first thing I thought when I saw her. I wanted to be just like Ms. Bellum physically and mentally when I was little but in hindsight, her appearance wasn't attainable but the intelligence and how cool she was certainly are...somewhat. I hate that PPG16 doesn't have Ms. Bellum.

[@adampkalb]

I don't want to defend Nick Jennings' choice to remove her, but I believe that the message he wanted to send to kids, the message that was *barely implied* by him removing her from the new show, is that we should look at women's faces and not just their bodies. I would have defended him recasting the 4 main little girl characters (4 because I counted Morbucks) with younger, less-experienced actors if he was considerate enough to tell their original voice actors ahead of time, instead of breaking their hearts and leaving them out when Jennifer Hale, Tom Kane, Tom Kenny, Jim Cummings and Roger L. Jackson still got to reprise other characters from the original Powerpuff Girls series. Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li and Natalie Palamides all watched the original Powerpuff Girls as children, and I know they loved getting to voice the girls in the reboot, but I can't shake the feeling that maybe they felt guilty about poaching the original actors' jobs without the casting director of the reboot giving the original actors a choice to come back.

[@SuperFeatherYoshi]

Small detail, Nostalgia Critic's "By modernizing it you're making it more dated" line was from The Cat in the Hat, not Lorax.

[@illusoryVice]

They both had that same problem, really. In fact, all of the modernized Seuss-based movies have that problem.

[@kieranstark7213]

I can't believe we are forced to praise The Lorax (2012), The Cat in the Hat (2003) and Modern The Powerpuff Girls because of how it was modernized. How it was modernized does make them dated cringe.

[@Reapermaskhybrid]

SuperFeatherYoshi True, but it still holds relevance.

[@reasyrandom]

Speaking of which, what are you guys thoughts on the upcoming Green Eggs and Ham?

[@MadameTamma]

Ms Bellum was based on a joke that no matter how competent, intelligent or articulate some women are, they'll still only be seen for their bodies, so the producers thought it over that believed that this wasn't a good message to be sending the young girls watching the show. I can understand that, so what are the MANY ways you could address this? Well you could flesh out Bellums character so she's has a lot more going for her than just a running gag. Maybe you could make an episode where it's revealed that she has some secret hobby or talent that no one would expected her to have, Like she's really into football, or she's also a scientist. Thus giving kids the message that people can surprise you and you shouldn't judge what a person might know or like based on how they look. Maybe you could give her a cool backstory, like when she was young she was a crime fighter, or a villain and the girls find out. you could even do a funny joke where Bellum explains she quit fighting after her face got scared, and once again we don't see the face, but everyone comments that they didn't want to ask what happened to her. Maybe you STILL want her to leave the show, then maybe make a story where she has had enough of people only noticing her body and she quits, Everyone learns their lesson and apologizes to her. She accepts but still decides to leave because better oppertunities have opened up for her outside of townsville. What pisses me off is that they DON'T address the message at at all. They just give her a weak send off and done. This is a character whose been around since the beginning. It's not like she was only in 1 or 2 episodes. Whatever messages she's sent to kids, it's out there and has been out there for years. If you think this issue is important enough that you feel the need to axe a character whose been around for years, then ADDRESS IT!

[@vettebodee]

Better than what I was going to say.

[@MadameTamma]

+Rain Rai those were just some ideas off the top of my head. Im just saying they could have fleshed out her character more if they wanted to send better messages to kids at home. i remember the episode she fought sedusa. they could have made MORE episodes that emphasize her intelligence and badassery.

[@xmoore5659]

+MadameTamma So in bye bye Bellum did they get rid of Ms. Bellum as a character. Never to be seen again or just in that one episode.

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

Even though we never really saw her face, she was still a good character.

[@andrewduong2740]

+Rain Rai what's the name of the episode you mentioned below?

[@DetectorCliche]

I think the real issue was that the PPG reboot was unnecessary. Its not like some sorta all time classic that needed a reboot. They might as well reboot "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" while they're at it.

[@DetectorCliche]

And say what you will about the movie. It may have just not been suited for a theatrical release. But other than that I thought it was an awesome origin story depicting a level of drama you wouldn't ordinarily find in most episodes of the original show which also had its strong moments.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Well, that all-time classic logic is a little backwards: Those don't NEED reboots if they're considered classics. I'm looking RIGHT at Ghostbusters saying that.

[@roboticshaft1340]

I've been saying this a lot, but it's not like it was a show that was wrongfully cancelled like Samurai Jack, Teen Titans, Mega XLR, Sym-biotic Titan, etc... PPG ended on their own, even though the last few seasons were very... "Meh", but it still ended on their own. The reboot was not wanted. What people wanted was Samurai Jack (which we'll be getting on Adult Swim, apparently) Teen Titans (which did come back but not in the way people wanted) and Mega XLR and Sym-biotic Titan whom will never come back.

[@supervideomanic2]

Careful! It might happened!

[@diabreadstick]

Don't give them any ideas, man.

[@danielramsey6141]

I'm proud that my little brother and sister love the Original Teen Titans. it speaks Volumes how a more creative and well versed team of animators and fans of the source material can do with a show. instead of a Team of nitwits lead by Executive producters who by Studio mandate....Must make a show people will enjoy! Just because youyour told that people love a Property, doesn't mean you should make it....not unless you have people that want to make it and are more than happy to present material that does more than pander or dumb-down the Audience!

AceGreenLegend i like powerpuff girls z too i don't understand why so many people dislike it.

[@firerage8302]

Kali Farquharson maybe it's the fact that it's more japanese and more different than the original ppg. I think ppgz is better than the reboot tbh

[@OmfgHiii]

the point was to make it japanese looking.. i disliked the fact that they changed the relationships and everything in the story

[@CadDriftarus]

AceGreenLegend PPZ is great. Especially for a Magical Girl anime that's not Magic Knight Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, or Madoka Magic. Really hard to hit the right notes for that genre.

[@pikapower_kirby]

AceGreenLegend PPGZ was one of my favorite shows a year or so ago, and I still adore it. It's definitely better than this reboot, and I can honestly say it was a good show. Being someone who barely watched the original, didn't watch any spin-offs, and doesn't watch the reboot, I don't have issues with differences between plot points in the American series vs the anime.

[@Mathmachine]

There is 0 surprise that this is an Animated Atrocity. What's more surprising is how long it took to *be* an Animated Atrocity actually.

[@DigiRangerScott]

Just 2 and a half months. And considering the first batch of new episodes were rolled out over 2 weeks, let those settle, call it two months

[@radioheadfan9946]

This show has potential to become the new Spongebob in Animated Atrocities videos, it makes me excited because more videos and angry because the show sucks.

[@scarletstormbreaker4497]

As someone who grew up watching the original PowerPuff Girls, I feel like this reboot is trying to hard to pander to me, but also trying to hard to appeal to the new generation of pre-teen girls. The original show went against gender stereotypes, and this show is just finding new ones to use. I.E. girls having smartphones, the twerking, and Bubbles saying "Yas." It makes no sense to be against one form of sexism or bad stereotype and then use another one over and over again..

[@scarletstormbreaker4497]

***** The messaging isn't just bad, it's contradictory

[@primetime791]

Ya, this show is trying to aim at the "cool" factor of this generation. •~•

[@scarletstormbreaker4497]

"cool" This generation isn't cool, it's annoying... and filled with with too much PC culture.. I think that can be seen in this reboot, as much of a double standard as it is.

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

Personally, I never even realized that anyone would pronounce "yas" in that way.

[@Angela.Perkins]

Honestly, I see absolutely no reason for this show to exist. There are so many other CN shows that deserves a revival like Courage or Kids Next Door. Those shows still had more to tell and didn't go through seasonal rot at all. The Powerpuff Girls not only had six seasons, but they also had 2 specials AND a theatrical movie. So why do they get all the attention?! I just don't get it!

[@Psychopulse75]

Money. That's the only reason it got revived. Craig never approved of them bringing it back anyway.

[@Legacy-sw7bv]

I honestly hope those shows don't get rebooted, definitely not any time soon. If Teen Titans(original), with its amazing history, deep plots, gorgeous animation, and perfect balance of feels and comedy, was turned into the huge pile of dog shit that it is by these idiots, I don't even want to think about what they'll do to the other good shows.

[@trevorbatesanimation1883]

I know why it got rebooted. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[@bazingathethird4671]

Dude, you're sick wanting Courage to be rebooted. Personally, I think Courage's controversial scenes hilarious, but the majority of the 90's kids have been scared for life by these scenes. The new generation of kids that'll be exposed to this scaring them for life, or the pussy censors will make the final nail in the coffin of ruining our childhood that will lead to us nuking Cartoon Network starting WWIII.

[@RedAvient]

+Noob Noodle Honestly, I don't want it to be rebooted. But the creator, John R. Dilworth has expressed interest in continuing the series. The problem is, it's not his call, it's Cartoon Network's. That's what pisses me off the most.

[@novadearest]

The teacher not having boobs kinda reminds me of when I was in kindergarten/first grade, and we had 8th grade "buddies" that would come in and do activities with us every month. On one occasion the little kids had to draw their buddy and write what they knew about them, and since mine was an older girl and had breasts, I added them to the drawing. But my buddy told me that the teacher would get mad and say it was inappropriate. I remember asking "Why? You have them." And her laughing and saying that didn't matter. I was actually super confused as a kid as to why that would be weird, so the Powerpuff Girls removing the normal female bits off a character probably would've struck me as strange too if i was young and saw it. It's not weird for an older female character to have breasts.

[@harrisonho8934]

"By having grown-up humor, you make it more childish. By modernizing the dialogue, you make it more dated. And by changing the source material, you show how much you don't respect what's already perfect." "[The Powerpuff Girls Reboot] sucks in capturing the spirit of [The Powerpuff Girls]. Instead of being poetic, it panders to the mainstream. Instead of having it speak to everyone, it paints extremes that alienates the truth of the story. And instead of being dark and subtle, it knocks you on the head with its message, ironically making it far less memorable. People aren't gonna be coming back because you gave them nothing that shows you respect them as thinking people. You simplified it, made it easy. So easy that nobody finds it fun anymore. I don't care how many [shit reboots] you make, how popular they are for the moment, or how often you keep missing the spirit of these great stories, because no matter what you do, people are always gonna keep returning to the [shows of our childhood].

Go watch some anime, and you'll see elementary/grade school aged kids do a LOT worse than just "twerking". In Card Captor Sakura, this one girl has a romantic attraction to her school teacher, who's like 25 to 30 years old I'm guessing. And I've heard from anime fans (though I've not read it myself) that the manga (comic book) version of Card Captor Sakura implies that the teacher also has a similar attraction to said student.

Seeing what they did to Bellum and Keen I knew instantly "Oh, someone on the staff was one of those, so far left they're right, people." as in someone who's so liberal, their ideas become conservative like going off screen and appearing on the other side in an old Atari game. For example "Women can do anything now, so the secretary shouldn't be a woman." and "Women shouldn't be sexualised just for their appearance, so take away all the boobs cuz they're perverted and unnatural!" at least that's how I interpreted it. I know that's probably not the case but that's what it looks like from my end.

[@47ratsinahoodie]

No, I think that's the case. I'm all for gender equality and the stopping of objectification of females but getting rid of a curvy character who is otherwise smart and badass is fucking idiotic. The show depicted more of Bellum being smart and strong than sexy. She was a great role model for girls. I wanted to be just like her when I was little. Obviously, I now know her physical appearance wasn't possible but kid me didn't.

[@Littllebabydoll]

There was an entire episode of the old PPG where Sarah bellum educated them on the feminist movement. She was such a strong character. I never saw her as sexual. I just remember thinking she was pretty and I loved her hair.

[@Liggliluff]

(17:20) It's not just that Tara Strong did the voice for Bubbles; she has respect for that role. She has said that directors asks her to do the Bubbles-voice for other shows, but she denies that, and instead does a different voice. Then for the 2016 reboot, she couldn't even do the Bubbles-voice. I wonder what she thinks of this.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

You could easily make that episode work. Combine it with Mr. Enter's suggestions, basically we get Buttercup bored of work and wondering why they can't just goof off and party all the time. Allegro has the same ideas. Like, Allegro notes that everyone's happy and enjoying themselves, but eventually people are getting sick of the partying, and since no one's working, the party's sorta dying out. They're running out of snacks because no one's cooking food, no one's farming, no one's delivering...there's no music because the musicians aren't working, etc, and eventually it leads to the realization that while it may not be fun sometimes, you have to work so you can enjoy your efforts.

[@noahkarpinski1824]

Snappy Dragon But it was awesome!

[@birdcar7808]

Noah Karpinski Yeah, I know!

[@allendepacheco3419]

I heard the reason why the movie flopped was because a lot of people didn't see it due to being too embarrass for going to see "girly" movie. Yes I'm aware the show being violent and awesome, but a lot of people back then were afraid of a prejudice saying it's a movie for girls even though the majority of the fans are actually male. I actually find it interesting because while people didn't the see the powerpuff girls movie because of the prejudice, we have a huge fanbase that not just say they like a show for girls, but are proud of it (A.K.A the bronies). When the My Little Pony movie came out, the bronies didn't feel embarrassed for seeing the show and they get out and see it for themselves, unlike the powerpuff girls fans. That shows a pretty good indicator how much our society had change within the past decade.

[@birdcar7808]

Allende Pacheco Wasn't the show actually made for both genders? I'm pretty sure the reason Craig McCracken made the movie extra action-packed was because he noticed that the Powerpuff products were aimed more at girls, so he made the movie to try to balance out the viewers a little more.

I always felt that in a weird way the PPG was about young women going through that weird time when you want to be older, and it was more about how they saw the world, or rather what adult-hood is, rather then sexualizing and stereotyping. The breasts on the adults was more like a kid who wants to shave with his dad, because its what adults do. They delt with villains but they were mostly metaphors for becoming an adult. Him episodes were about dealing with fear and crushing doubt and Femme Fatial was about owning your sexuality and breaking stereotypes.

Funny thing about Horn Sweet Horn: Even after all that controversy, all that kerfuffle over whether or not the episode misrepresented or even insulted transgender people with its allegory, the wroter straight up said it was never actually meant to be an allegory for trans rights! Turns out the whole time it was just CN marketing the episode that way to garner controversy and people talking about the episode.

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

@Christopher Millian The episode itself, nothing. The controversy was execs/marketing people trying to cash in on the sociopolitical climate by claiming the episode was an allegory for being transgender, when the writers weren't trying to do anything like that.

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

@Christopher Millian 2: Transgenders are people who switch their gender identity at some time in their life. 1. and 2: What's bad here is people who talk about certain topics, or make certain plots/characters, in an attempt to make profit; "virtue signalling", as it is said. In this instance, capitalizing on rising transgender awareness/discussions by having an episode (or, in this case, claiming to have an episode) about the topic, not for the sake of actually having a serious discussion on the matter, but as a way to get higher ratings and more popularity. Having an episode talking about transgenders isn't inherently bad; what was wrong in this case was that the writers weren't trying to make such an episode, but the execs claimed it was -- false advertising, basically. 3. I haven't followed them closely, but I would hope they've learned their lesson.

[@AnimeMetalFan1]

Anthony Rodriguez It is something to get mad at, especially if you're a fan of Ben 10 such as me. The new series appeals to the lowest common denominator in a similar way that TTG and PPG 2016 do.

[@anthonyrodriguez1119]

Dark Jedi​ I don't really see it trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator the only crime the show is guilty of is being bland It has done nothing to offend anyone it has done nothing to set itself apart from other shows and has done nothing to earn my or your scorn or attention If you want this show to die Young you must do one thing Don't talk about it don't watch it don't look it up don't even bother criticizing it you are just giving the show extra attention A show as boring as this can only survive so long as enough people talk about it giving it enough time for it to gain viewers

[@allendepacheco3419]

But isn't the maker of the Ben 10 reboot is the same guy who made the original Ben 10 series AKA Man of Action? Also to answer your question, a company want new people to become fans so they can make more revenue. To Cartoon Network, their new would-be-fans are young kids and are trying to appeal them by making the shows more "modern."

[@319Schum]

Allende Pacheco But then why not just make a new show targeted at the next generation? Like for Teen Titans Go they could have have the same set up with original characters and given them wacky powers for the random humor of the show. The Titans don't add anything to Teen Titans Go, but Teen Titans Go devalues the original property and cartoon network's credibility.

[@allendepacheco3419]

Now that I don't know how to answer. People make reboots because they want to update a good story for the younger demographic and having a belief of making it "better", and there's a few that want to add a twist to the reboot. The creator of TTG possibly want to make a "parody" of the original, but we know how that goes. Maybe the executives don't know what would happen and like the TTG when watching the short (since the shorts are not as bad as the actual episodes). Unless one of them can see the future, the executives or whoever greenlit the show didn't knew what will happen with the next few years.

[@seanmyster6]

"But then why not just make a new show targeted at the next generation?" I can answer that, from the perspective of whichever network hacks keep crapping out these lousy reboots: Because that would mean trying new things and taking risks, and why do that when we can just piggy-back on the name and likeness of an already popular franchise and have a guaranteed audience? Also, who cares if we end up pissing off the fans who liked previous renditions of said franchise by making our new version more "lowest common denominator"; at least we got their attention, right? We'll just say "It's not for you, it's for the new generation", despite the fact that by rebooting an existing franchise, we're obviously trying to capitalize on its prior success, which the old fans played a role in making happen in the first place; and our new fans will defend us by accusing the old fans of being "nostalgia-blind" and "unwilling to accept change"; and thus, we become a financial success without having to put forth any real creativity, thought, or effort. Oh, did I mention the part about prioritizing toy sales over quality entertainment? That's VERY important.

So as I was watching this I just made up a plot. So Him cast a spell that makes everyone who sees the sky extremely rage indused.

[@danielgehring7437]

Actually, no they don't. Ecstasy targets the hippocampus in a very specific way, ramping up the pleasure center and inhibiting the impulse control of the recipient; children who have not yet undergone puberty haven't yet developed the separation matrices or neural pathways that one would need to get the beneficial effects of the drug. Quite literally, ecstasy can't increase a child's libido or inhibit their impulse control because they _don't have those things yet._ Of course, that's not saying there is no effect, the drug would make them very, very ill and lead to temporary or permanent organ failure and/or body spasms, but they won't get high off of it.

Well, I've seen two of those three things pretty often in anime.

[@AlluMan96]

Oh, bland villains are fucking trademarked to anime. Seriously, you can't move 2 steps without finding the most dis-interested cookie-cutter of a mean face to represent an anime's antagonist. Even among my trinity of favourite anime, all 3 have pretty weak or underplayed villains. EVA never truly established a consistant entity, the villany being more like a force of nature that humanity has to survive, with Seele's and Gendo's agendas so distant to second that you might as well not even count it. Gurren Lagann barely put much emphesis on it's villains aside from a slight arc for Viral, it was so dedicated to it's main cast. Cowboy Bebop was propably the worst at it, only occasionally having a villain that actually gripped my attention like the kid from Sympathy for the Devil or Tongpu and our closest to a final boss, Vicious, was a fucking dry breadstick of a character.

[@inbreedmoron4564]

I am surprised the fuckers did not showed Mrs. Bellums face. nobody would have watched the show them.

[@kasinokaiser1319]

AlluMan96 Yeah, every anime villain is either a religious stereotype, a racist stereotype, a personality stereotype, or some leftover hatred from WWII

[@CattyMintgum]

Why do all the Cartoons on CN look the same?!...Round Shapes, Bright Colors, Trying to be hip with the kids!...

[@TheJustin4848]

Ahem...Regular Show.

[@tigertoonist2718]

+TheJustin4848 Naw, Adventure Time started all that.

[@TheJustin4848]

Tiger Toonist No I'm saying regular Show isn't filled with bright shapes and round colors.

[@CattyMintgum]

TheJustin4848 Still has one of the 3 Things.

[@ri0tgh0ooul89]

They all graduated from Cal Arts. For real though, a lot of shows do this to put focus on the background and to design simple characters that are easy to storyboard and animate quickly while still being attractive to the eye. (fun fact: that's why they use a lot of "heart" shapes.)

[@poninefreak3321]

16:33 OMG, Kim Possible! That show was my childhood! 😄

[@CyberKirby]

The other day, I found the perfect quote that describes slang. "Only you say that." "Yeah, but I say it a lot."

[@christianzavala9302]

That sounds about right.

[@vandagylon5265]

Drake and Josh?

[@SEGASister]

_Zoey 101_. I forgot the episode's name, but one of the characters (not Logan or Chase, their roommate), tries to get a slang word, "Flump", popular, by saying it over and over again.

[@ShadyDoorags]

That sounds more like a catchphrase than slang. Slang isn't called slang until it's popular.

[@SEGASister]

***** Thanks. I only found it funny when, in the end, other people start saying it and don't credit Michael for creating it XD

[@yourfavoritetimewaster940]

That Sans reference at the beginning. XD

[@SquidmanMalachar]

hehe yep

[@emeraldarwyn5367]

*gasp* where?

[@SquidmanMalachar]

Astrid the Otaku The very beginning. With the "Let me ask you a question..."

[@TrueSavage555]

that was not a sans reference...

[@acevii552]

uh i don't think he was referencing Dans there

[@RandallTheShotoWilliams15]

Honestly, I think that the reboot is worse than Teen Titans Go!. I don't like TTG, but you can say that it has it's own identity, does what it sets out to do(even if it is as shallow and bitter as pissing people off) and does less to cater to the crowd by being what it thinks is cool today. It's barely been out, and it looks to me like it has less dignity as the Fairly Oddparents currently has. To me, TTG would be the troll while PPG(2016) is the useful idiot. Which one would you think is worse?

[@briankentpirrie5228]

bad news is there going be powerpuff girls 2016 teen titans go crossover!!!!

[@RandallTheShotoWilliams15]

Brian Kent Pirrie Yea, I heard. It looks pretty bad

[@briankentpirrie5228]

Randall Williams when those shows are going to be cancelled?

[@RandallTheShotoWilliams15]

Brian Kent Pirrie Probably when they can't sell toys anymore

[@tonykoslowski5010]

+Randall Williams (The Shoto) Which probably won't happen for the next 10 years.

[@freshchan1]

The Amazing World of Gumball did a WAY better version of this episode.

[@casualcraftman1599]

Which Gumball episode did this plot better?

[@Pokesquirtle7]

Casual CraftMan I forget what it is, but it's like a horror episode. But with uh, happy zombies?

[@ShadowtheYouTuber523]

DAMN YOU RICHARD!

[@AtomicWhiskers]

Someone needs to send this to the creators of this reboot

[@thetoontastictoon1720]

YES

[@colleen4ever]

I am SO THANKFUL the Samurai Jack continuation will be on adult swim!!

[@toastwings9358]

+colleen Wait, they're continuing Samurai Jack? KICK FUCKING ASS!

[@colleen4ever]

ToastWings Ya didn;t know that? Yeah, they're gonna give Samurai Jack it's much-deserved 5th season on adult swim Toonami! It's gonna be 10 eps long, it's gonna have one continuing storyline, and it's gonna be darker and edgier then before! In other words, the exact opposite of this dreck!

[@onettaviator5396]

The DuckTales reboot showed us that we can have a distinct trio. It also showed us that we can have *A GOOD SHOW*

[@zzz43344]

Yup

[@kloverleavezisdeadlol]

CN made it so far to make *5 YEAR OLD* girls TWERK. I can’t believe this

[@PyroGothNerd]

Actually, on the grade-school teacher wearing costumes thing.....you clearly never met my high-school chemistry teacher. ....Man I should have brought a camera to that class...every day.

[@thefanficfanpony3551]

I wonder how they're going to handle HIM.

[@sameyfan612]

He appeared already. He was the main antagonist of the episode "Tiara Trouble". While he didn't do much, his personality, voice and design are the same as in the original.

[@thefanficfanpony3551]

SameyFan Huh. I thought they had cut HIM out entirely due to his controversial nature. I'm not really sure what's better, having HIM a tiny bit but in character or not having him at all.

[@undead923]

+TheFanficFanPony It's a demon who plays with a rubber ducky. That's a plus in my book for character

[@birdcar7808]

Having Him a tiny bit in character, most definitely! He's only in 18 episodes of the original, gosh dangit, and that's not enough Him for me!

[@TheDarkAngel969]

+TheFanficFanPony In this day and age, there would be more outcry for removing Him than to keep him in. And by outcry, I mean people who never watched the original on social media whining how removing Him would be classified as transphobic or homophobic, while the fans of the original would be forced to stay quiet

[@redlenseglasses4111]

For those not in the know, Allegro is actually the name of a brand of medicinal products for seniors. Who are the ones who made up the focus group for this show.

[@pzkitty6783]

5:09 I hate how the chair just randomly changes colour in the next shot.

[@_606_6]

Why did they just give her random bracelets in the cringey "YASS" moment?

[@ColinG943]

What's weird is that Bubbles' new voice actress (Kristen Li) is only 14 years old while Tara Strong is in her 40s…wow

[@Metalguy40]

While this show isn't the absolute worst, it definitely falls in the category of reboots that aren't like the original.

[@Metalguy40]

That and how it caters to a specific audience

[@wlfmanjack]

Yeah I tried to like this show, but I just couldn't. After seeing the three of them get overpowered for the fifth time I had enough. The original was a superhero show that just happen to be a little girly with actual well done messages to the public. This one is just a bunch of girly/teenage pandering and progressive bull crap, that happens to be a superhero show.

[@shwahgamer]

I would call it the "reboots that never needed to exist," but that's just me.

[@zenborath6275]

Samurai Jack is coming back on adult swim. Let's hope it doesn't become This or TTG.

[@Metalguy40]

Dusk_Bass -Nightcore- there was a preview of the new season somewhere in some event and the reaction it got was pretty good. That and the creators are working on it so perhaps it won't be bad.

[@LikaLaruku]

I like how all of the background characters has a jarringly different art style from the ones who carried over from the 90s.

[@kittiimelon]

Oh, Miss. Bellum has an unrealistic hourglass body shape? Ah, let me show you Garnet. You know, one of the main characters of your most popular show? Yep. Have you seen _her_ waistline? (Don't tell me she's not human, I know, but she's designed to be human-like.)

[@whatastandupguy3050]

A commercial for a crossover with this and teen titans go played before this video... Oh the irony.

[@demonicpikachu5516]

[@dogman9223]

+Creepy Bots yup

[@rachelyoung1460]

You should show her the original show on Netflix

[@itsonlytaylor5124]

Rachel Young i did. she likes the reboot better still

[@seanmyster6]

Don't worry; once she's old enough, she'll realize that it was just pandering to her and that it wasn't actually good. That happened to me with Johnny Test.

[@pichugirl6]

If she begins to twerk, slap her in the face for the mistake she's doing.

[@asshatt6908]

Am I the only one who likes buttercup's new voice? The show itself sucks tho

[@masterseal0418]

13:37 Mr. Enter, the punches that felt like slight taps, as well as the removal of Ms. Bellum and Ms. Keen’s breasts was because the crew need to appease the moral guardians(Karens) to prevent them from whining about the “violence and sexual overtones” despite twerking being in Powerpuff Girls 2016 which caused major backlash(I’m not going into details of one of the writers who wrote Painbow, cuz that might get this comment taken down by KZbin bots; I’ll still talk about the revival’s infamy in a live stream besides another part in the stream where I’d talk to one out of the main actresses for the girls specifically Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup about some writers that were actually perverted and asked if they didn’t know that until now).

[@johnny_boi5456]

Lmao so true!

[@domotormate]

1:40: "I still find Teen Titans GO to be a worst show." Then four years later, he made his Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the Decade list.

2017: Powerpuff Girls twerking 2020: Cuties: Hold my beer

[@cameussmith]

2019

[@TomboyGamerGal]

As a 24 year old adult, I don't find Ms. Bellum sexual in any way but the twerking that Blossom and Bubbles did was.

[@hokumdog]

"How do you do, fellow kids" -The writers

[@heroshadow42]

This explanation is a bit of an ass-pull, but my best guess for why the girls were not affected by the rainbow was that its influence is a low level effect, which is strong enough for any normal citizen. Allegro's very presence is the second level, assumed because of how Bubbles reacted. His attack is the third level, strong enough to pierce through Blossom's resistance. There are still some flaws in it, mostly because they are only based on what I have seen through reviews that reference this episode. I imagine if I saw the series more, or at least more episodes, if any, that include Allegro, I could better analyze his Ecstasy-inducing powers. As of now, this is the perspective of an outsider, and I don't think my recollections of the original series can help me on this.

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Going off the arguments that Mr enter made in this video and the complaints he had about Powerpuff Girls 2016 in general, it almost sounds like the writers themselves are high off of ecstasy. LOL

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

"We felt like Ms. Bellum wasn't quite indicative of the kind of message we wanted to be giving at this time. That women can be successful, competent, and good at their jobs owing entirely to their intelligence and dedication. Because we at Cartoon Network are beta male sexists who believe a woman who is attractive has no other qualities whatsoever."

[@2wingo]

How do you make a talking panda on ecstasy unfunny?

[@SirBroadsword]

By putting in zero effort.

[@aceotaku]

by doing nothing but making him talk about having fun and giving him the same voice as one of the segments in the rejected youtube video then again I never saw the episode so I have no fucking idea what his personality is like

[@KoreeluStromboli]

By not having the talking panda be Po Ping?

[@CartoonFan1994]

1. Make him a blatant copy of a likable and relatable panda from another Cartoon Network show. 2. Rip off Uncle Grandpa's potential backgrounds. 3. Leech off Adventure Time and Clarence's art styles. 4. Promote underage twerking. 5. Animation errors that gives Ben 10: Omniverse a run for it's money. 6. Make him a pathetic fighter that makes Fluttershy look like Perfect Zygarde in comparison. 7. Lazy writing. 8. Disregard to the audience's intelligence. 9. A ploy to sell toys. And 10. Of course, by having no effort whatsoever.

[@batmanvdeadpool1934]

+CartoonFan1994 but don't forget we're getting a Ben 10 reboot :( Cartoon Network defiantly gonna ruin it

[@lilsingingsensation]

Wait, how old the girls now? In the original, they were 5-6 years old (i say 6 because they had at least 1 "birthday" episode) Because they're smaller than their peers, I would see them passing as first or even second graders (but then how old are their friends?) I could see Bubbles still doing childish things like bringing Octy to school or having a thing for unicorns. For their ages, Bubbles acted the girls age/younger (about 3-4), Buttercup acted at just about the normal age(4-6), and Blossom acted a lot older (6-8)

[@LadyGaGaROXROX]

loved the undertale "do you think even the worst person can change?" quote reference in the beginning

[@a-bombmori7393]

i doubt its intended. if it was he would've put in the "if they just try" part.

[@LadyGaGaROXROX]

+A-Bomb Mori no dude theres no way that was unintentional that was a almost an exact match to the quote

[@LadyGaGaROXROX]

+A-Bomb Mori he did say If they just try...

[@LadyGaGaROXROX]

+A-Bomb Mori I'm just saying I doubt it was untentional mysterious mr enter also put undynes theme at the end of the video so he's probably a fan of undertale

[@a-bombmori7393]

Purple Mango in reply to your first comment: well toby could write that line why cna't he? in reply to your second comment: i didn't notice. i really should've made sure he didn't before posting that reply.

[@midnalazuli793]

He is right about how some shows start out bland and mediocre, the show hasn't yet found its footing and doesn't know which route to take, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, The Amazing World of Gumball, and other Cartoon Network shows started out like this, with no specific premise or balance, and yet as time went on, they eventually found what they were going to do.

[@DragonSlayer-kn2xe]

Maybe Mighty Magiswords is on that track, i do hope it can get better
