Simple: They traded originality and creativity for profitable nostalgia.

[@hankakabrad7738]

Its the same with all the other shows on CN

[@ryaquaza3offical]

Step 1: take a loved franchise Step 2: forget what everyone loved about the original Step 3: do some questionable stuff and put it on air Step 4: shamelessly profit It’s really sad for someone that grew up with this show and honestly, after rewatching the original and almost every episode of the reboot after sheer curiosity, it’s just upsetting. Although I did like the design of Spode and his minions but considering he only appeared once and it’s hard to mess up a xenomorph inspired alien, that doesn’t say much

It's so funny and sad that they got rid of Ms. Bellum. Despite being bodacious, she was designed to look like a brain, which was so fitting for a character named after the cerebellum. Her hair was like the cerebral cortex. Her torso and body resembled the midbrain and br¹ainstem to me. I noticed this even as a child. She was so cool! I loved this show growing up.

[@phousefilms]

Also, she was way smarter than the Mayor. When Princess buys Townsville and they force her to give it back, they say "Give it back to the Mayor and Ms.Bellum".

[@AO968]

Even her name is taken from a part of the brain, the cerebellum. And IIRC, it is said to control things like emotions and ability to reason, which makes it a fitting name.

The original show is a prime example of creating a show for both boys and girls without alienating either.

[@icecreamhero2375]

They really miss understood all the characters every single one. Blossom went from Strong confident, brave, bossy, smart, straight man, with a bit of an ego to a full blown sterotypical nerd, Bubbles went from being the heart of the group to being the wacky goofball of the group. She was always like that but here she rarely has sweet moments you would never see her crying because she wants everyone to get along, or nurce Bullet the Squirrel back to health. Buttercup went from the sassy short tempered one who always speaks her mind but is sweet deep down , to a trouble maker that causes 90 percent of the problems. In the original she was rarely mischievous.

A few things: 1. Mojo is a chimp, not a monkey. Both are primates, but different types. 2. HIM is supposed to be the Devil, literally. 3. The episode where Buttercup starts hanging out with the Gangrene Gang was intentional. Ace wasn't really hitting on her, he was actually trying to weaken the Girls so that the gang could commit crimes freely. This was even revealed closer to the end of the episode.

"Isn't this a girl's show?!" The fact that me and my cousin, 2 kids with 2 entirely different tastes and opposite genders would both enjoy this show immensely and relate to the characters really speaks volumes 😆 he called himself buttercup and I was blossom. I think the success behind these girl-targeted shows are really the fact that they don't actually limit themselves to 1 gender demographic, they bring the best of both genres and mix it together in the best way. Then they spill some chemical X, which is all the existential/dark/creepy/deep element behind many of the episodes

That's true, now-a-days most shows are targeted towards both genders and even when one is geared towards a certain gender, they still write the show in a way that can be Enjoyed by all audiances without alieanating the original targeted audiance, just look at shows like: Star vs. The Forces of Evil MLP: FIM ect.

Finally, I don't see how being into cross dressing is something I need to get help for. It's not hurting me or anyone else, and it's certainly not illegal. There are so many harmful and immoral fetishes out there (like pedophilia, necrophilia, zoophilia, etc.), that cross dressing is relatively tame by comparison.

I wish you would've talked a bit more about the anime. It's true that it feels pretty different from the original, but while as a kid I always liked to watch random episodes of the original, just because I thought the girls were cute and cool, when I got older and started getting into anime, the powerpuff girls anime was one of the first series I watched because of the positive recognition I had with the series and I liked it so much, that it got me into shojo magical girl anime altogether, like the Precure series. I did rewatch the anime version later when I was older and still really enjoyed it, I have a lot of nostalgia for it. It does have less coolness factor, but the anime artstyle makes it cuter and more wholesome than the original series. Also the stories are less crazy and there's multiple episodes just about growing up girl problems. Watching this review kinda makes me rewatch the original series properly to compare them. I think I never watched the original series episodes in proper order.

@@222o-u3t it's your nostalgia speaking instead of you. I do love some old games for example, but graphics are so shitty most of the time that I start searching for graphics improvement mods.

I always imagined Him as a demon. Didn't know what drag was back then

[@Mari-hb5do]

Emmy Lé Wolf my child self was scared of HIM because I thought of that too... nowadays he’s just a bad guy with a cool sense of fashion.

[@fuwa1276]

Mari Lol ikr XD but he still creeps out sometimes because of the internet theories and such ~_~

[@fullmetalgamer6062]

Back when the show was called Whoopass Stew, Him was called the devil. Unfortunately, the episode he was in wasn't finished.

Powerpuff girlZ is more like a generic magical girl anime or simply Power Rangers than an adaptation of the show, yet still better than the 2016 version.
