Honest Review | The Powerpuff Girls

[@redvince5627]

As long as it’s not that crappy reboot, I’m down. Seriously though, this was one of my absolute favorite shows growing up. Can’t wait to hear you talk about it Erod!

[@robertjaye8316]

I just wanted to mention that Ace from The Gangreen Gang became a member of Gorillaz years after The Powerpuff Girls had ended.

[@daelen.cclark]

Temporarily, anyway.

[@GenAqua]

my favorite characters besides the Powerpuffs are: The Rowdyruff Boys, The Gangreen Gang, and Mojo Jojo. In fact, Ace, the leader of the Gangreen Gang, was in Gorillaz for a little while.

[@bdpickett]

Princess is actually a parody of Little Orphan Annie. From her appearance to her surname, she's basically Annie without her altruistic spirit or good nature.

The movie also came out less than a year after 9/11 when films and video games were altering any content that had planes, hijackings, and domestic terrorism plots. Hence why critical of the movie's violence.

[@TheMarvelousM]

For the next Honest Review, could it be Animaniacs?

[@SilverScribe85]

With the Powerpuff Girls getting a possible new series in the future, I sincerely hope Tom Kane will be able to reprise his roles of Prof. Utonium and Him. I can't think of ANY other actor that can do those characters proper justice the way Tom did

[@christianiji8259]

You used the wrong picture of Jennifer Martin, Buster. That's a completely different actress.

[@mythghost]

I’m surprised that the music videos staring PPG weren’t mentioned.

[@daelen.cclark]

Only so much time, I guess.

[@MaggieCandy999]

When you said The Powerpuff Girls Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever was your favorite episode I literally squealed! I fell in LOVE with that episode when I saw it as a kid because it was so similar to how my sisters and I would play the Powerpuff girls all the time when that show was the center of our lives! I wouldn’t trade those years my sisters and I spent with the Powerpuff Girls for anything else in the world. Those memories mean too much to me.

[@superkid801]

Ah what a show. I loved watching it. What a team it had! This is such a great show, great honest review on it! The day is saved!

[@TheSecondOpinion11]

10:28 - I'm sure that was the rationale, starting out. But as they went along, and Him, by necessity, settled into this "only when he has something evil to exploit" gimmick, it felt like Mojo genuinely and organically got pushed into the "archnemesis" role. And not just in how they tied him into the backstory, either: I remember several instances, turning to him when the plot needed a "this is what a REAL challenge looks like" beat, like how the girls threw Professor Utonium into a one on one with him, when they needed their dad to think being a superhero was too hard. And heck, why not? Mojo probably IS the most purely unique and memorable, of the bunch.

[@squeethemog213]

I will always remember this show. It was awesome then is still awesome to this day. Thanks for covering it Erod 😁

[@thinkpositivemaya992]

fun fact: mojo jojo voice actor, roger jackson, also voices hol horse in the 2000 jojo stardust crusaders ova

[@Rixec2]

Another wonderful honest review. The series holds up to this day and serves as one of the best examples of why media with female leads can appeal to everyone. Powerpuff!

[@MTTT19]

I always figured Him was inspired by Dr. FrankenFurter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

[@ajerjavec4723]

I can’t believe he didn’t talk about the rowdy, rough boys also one episode that I find fun live and let Dynamo basically the power puff mech is back and the girls while fighting. It are trying to figure out who is piloting it. And the reasons they dismissed most of their rogue gallery as being the ones who are piloting, it are hilarious mostly because they think the villains would do

[@BionicleGio22210]

This cartoon was my everything as a kid. Anytime it was on, i strapped in and watched

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

probably should have used the Carol Danvers from Earth's Mightest Heroes

[@jrr2480]

Great video 📼 I agree 👍 with you on almost everything, ( except the thing on MCU's Captain Marvel)😅

[@robbycooper6787]

Can you review mlp next

[@echosaxe]

Thanks for the nostalgia trip. I always remember that I liked the PPG but this reminded me how much i loved it. I will have to go watch it. I know I've never seen the entire series, especially post movie.

[@EBTheOriginalMaster]

I binged The Powerpuff Girls for the first time back in 2022, and I really enjoyed the show.

[@ryanhoule4415]

Any chance we can get honest reviews of the rest of the Monsterverse movies, you technically already started with Godzilla 2014…. That disappeared from KZbin.

[@filipmilevski8172]

How about next the honest review is Codename kids next door

[@DarkcIoud1111.]

I had a theory that the reason Him would go after the PPG and not a larger threat like the Justice Friends for example is because the PPG are made from "everything nice" and Him is everything evil; they are opposites. Not only that, but because of how much the city of Townsville love the girls, it is like a giant magnet of positive energy that must annoy the hell out of Him. However they aren't on his power level when he goes all out, which explains why sometimes he will destroy the town and other times he will make the Professor pay...full price! Meanwhile while the Justice Friends are powerful, they are all usually shown to be sort of jerkish at times or at least less-heroic than the heroes they parody.

[@TaraThelen-lc6pn]

HIM STILL SCARES ME

[@RobertWWD]

After hearing Craig is rebooting the series I’m very hyped since he’s bringing back the OG Powerpuff Girls.

[@josealmeida2842]

While I enjoyed the PPG movie and even saw it in theaters, even Craig McCracken has openly stated that the cinematic origin was taken too seriously and suffered from a lack of the show’s signature humor. And I for one agree with him on that.

Hey E-rod I always enjoyed your Honest Review and I've been wondering if you have plenty of time can you do an Honest Review of Farscape? Since the studio and the diehard fans wants to make a new series to continue. Also some people are saying that Farscape is a lot like Guardians of the Galaxy but I want to know what you think?

Interesting side note, Did you know that there was an Anime version of the Series that looked much better then that Stupid Reboot of PPG? AzenZone actually talked about it titled Powerpuff Girls Z. I've seen some Episodes and.... I think of it as Underrated, an Worthy Alternate Universe take on the Powerpuff girls themselves, Sure it was a Parody Anime but I can imagine it has it's fans.

[@keshiaanders6452]

I actually have made two OCs for "The Powerpuff Girls" called the Jetstream Sisters, they are super heroines that take on the night shift hours when it's pass the Girls' bedtime. (I'm just being honest to describe them) *Bianca "Bia" Jetstream aka Elec-Chick: The eldest sister of the duo. She's a violet-eyed buxom blonde beauty with electric powers. Some people think that she's a typical spoiled dumb bimbo, but she's actually smarter than she looks & is one of the sweetest ladies you'll ever meet (as long as you don't get on her bad side & get electrocuted). During the daylight hours, Bia works as a probation officer/rehabilitation supervisor, and her clients are The Gangreen Gang, who have fallen for her & would try to give up their thieving ways so to not lose her in their lives. *Jerica "Jeri" Jetstream aka Spitfire: Jeri is the younger & tomboyish goth Jetstream Sister with blue eyes & red hair that has pyro(fire) related powers. She's usually (no pun intended) hot headed and impatient, but she has more gentle & calm moments occasionally. While she & Bia have a strong a sisterhood, Jeri secretly does feel envious towards her older sister & can't help express her anger with her fire powers. But Bia assures Jeri that she's not trying to make her feel insecure, but to help inspire her to be a better person (and control her powers more carefully).

[@michaelmcjunkin1372]

Aw man I was hoping for a mention of the Anime series, or reboot. Oh well, my favorite characters besides the PowerPuff Girls(my favorite being Bubbles), is Professor Utonium, the Gangreen Gang and Mojo Jojo.

[@aaronfraire9073]

Wait a minute! I thought Miracle City was the cesspool of crime and villainy! Now that that's outta the way, this is one of my all time favorite Cartoon Network shows. Equal to _Samurai Jack_ and surpassed only by _Teen Titans_ and _Justice League/Justice League Unlimited._

[@aidanhever3369]

Speaking of a title change, during the first season in Mexico, it was known as Las Chicas Coquetas. But CN realized that it sounded lame and awkward. So that's why they renamed it Las Chicas Superpoderosas starting in the second season. Also, how come you didn't mention its anime version, the CGI special, and the infamous 2016 reboot ?

[@Rimidalv0038]

Eeeeh, it’s a pity that about 40% of the episodes in the Russian dubbing of the 1998 animated series were lost, but I remember many of them aired on TV. I wish I could find someone who recorded the broadcast..

Hey all you hardcore animation fans out there, you guys should make a fan-made Nickelodeon 2D animated series that acts like a long-lost'90's title that's not only a top-tier masterclass smash hit title that we didn't know we rightfully deserve it nor it would've been a worldwide phenomenon to this very day absolutely without slowing down one bit complete with a MASSIVE fanbase backing it all up nor be one of those rare animated series that barely have any meh to downright dumpster fire episodes/seasons to speak of whatsoever nor even in a absolute must-watch masterpiece league of it's own altogether compared to the other NickToons masterpiece titles from back then, but it's also easily hands down THE top-tier greatest and most adventurously spectacular fun NickToons ever in existence to date in the history of Nickelodeon animated series, fan-made projects or otherwise, period! It's call: Sarah Rooting Tooting Adventure HO! Fitzgerald; Adventurous Elizabeth McGee Valley Sheriff and the quality of it needs to be absolutely beyond phenomenal impressive spectacle to behold for all the right reasons why, especially compared to both The Disney Renaissance Era itself at the time and ESPECIALLY especially compared to today's modern day Hollywood animation quality standards, it'll genuinely make you believe you're actually watching a long-lost official Nickelodeon 2D animated 1990's series, period! Also later on in this show, both Sarah Fitzgerald (who looks like a at the time exact replica prototype version of a ponytail Kim Possible of the self-title Disney Channel show of the same name, but as a young adult western adventure at the ready loving sheriff and somehow be Pamela Anderson/Erotica Jones-tier worthy levels of unexpectedly jaw-dropping attractive for all the right reasons why and then some) and her young adult and equally as unbelievably attractive eyepatch wearing motorcycle biker girl best friend ever finally decide to start a lesbian relationship with each other and they both not only party out hard epically like it's 1999 at quite possibly THE single greatest and most breath-takingly '90's epic fun lesbian girls/drop dead Maxim Magazine sexy gorgeous lesbian girls-only 24/7 night club/amusement park pier and private nude beach resort beyond your wildest imaginations, but then later on work there too as rave party lesbian cage dancers and private nude beach resort lesbian models. You guys can also watch this show either on the old school retro Sony Wonder/Nickelodeon Video and Laserdisc to make it feel like you're seriously right back in the good old 1990's days and right back to your beloved childhood days all over again (not even for the slightest nanosecond), no questions asked, and/or on the current crystal clear 4 to 8K Ultraviolet HD DVD and Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D as well.

[@traviskenzy3481]

Blockbuster buster I have a question for you and it’s this. What would you want to see in a remake of a cartoon show of the super Mario super show like if you got to direct it what would you want to see in the cartoon if you got to make a remake a cartoon show for kids what would you want to be in it? What would you change? What would you keep? What would you change that you didn’t like in the original? And What would you want to keep, the same that you did and here’s another one if you got to do a live action show a Scooby Doo and it still be for kids, but also be for adults and you got to write a show for teens and kids and adults and all who would want to cast in a live action TV show Scooby Doo like who would you have shaggy and who would you Velma? And Daphne and Fred. and if you were to bring back scrappy Doo, but have it been nothing? Like he wasn’t alive action movie an action would be a likable character and actually travel with the game of mysteries with them. How would you want person to be different? What would you want to change with scrappy if you were to have them be friends with the gang solving mysteries.

[@michaelmcjunkin1372]

[@Dr.WaluigiReviews]

Loved the video Erod. I just wanna say as someone who grew up watching the four seasons and the movie. It baffles me that so many people keep trying to remake the show without understanding why people liked it. The CW show is just the girls being overly dark and violent. And the 2018 reboot is too cute and campy. I get that you have to change things to please a different audience, but the one thing that should always be kept from any reboot is the core essence or emotion that made the show stick.

[@sasamichan]

the OG series was great. The result of shows like Kim Possible le and Totally spies putting girls in power. It was the 1st show where males became fans too just ,like MLP:FiM Sucks that 2017 was the era of woke. The elimination of sexual charters like Miss Bellum the adding of racially diverse charters like Bliss who replaced cool charters like Bunny. The use of he style of humor ha came in to fashion in Finding Dorry and Ghostbusters 2016 where people riff and explain jokes and don't edit. he whole par where people watched this and Cuties and freaked out over twerking. The failed live action reboot . Look, here's the thing, Powerpuff Girls can work as a reboot it can work as live action you just have to get off the woke and give back the edge of sex and violence that came from hidden adult humor. Bring back Miss Bellum , bring back Bunny, if you must use her, make Bliss in scale with the girls, respect the lore, edit your jokes, don't go in he Family Guy direction when you do go more adult and be willing to talk about serious issues and have real threats. Donny he Unicorn was a bad character, the self insert love interest was bad, making he girls able o be caged, weakened, get broken bones, brining in that Ren and Stimpy art style with he fat and bulk and veins and junk was bad. All his BS hey do in Teen Titans Go, PPG2017, Sponge Bob, bread winners, fan boy and chumchum, Flap Jack, Uncle Grandpa, it all has to stop. Make an ALL ages including teens and adults show that puts action and comedy and relationships above politics, gender, children, sales, feelings, charts, numbers, and so on. 2016 really lost some thing with all he activism, and white male hate and assumptions that jokes need explaining and he lazy non-wiring and AI and CGI and all the trying not to offend people and the forced inclusion. Go back to what made TV fun Charters who were smart, good looking and kicked but no because "men are stupid and weak" but because "Women are strong" We need o ditch BAD females like Wonder Woman, Super Girl, Captain Marvel, The Ghostbusters, Madam Web, Velma, Little Mermaid, and get GOOD Female charters like Amity, Luz, Anne, Sasha, Marcey, Molly McGee, Webby, Lina, The Louds, Mei Lee, Phoebe Spengler, Miko, Kipo , Hilda
