So that new PPG show is really, REALLY bad.

I turned around on it when I saw the Robin II easter egg. Any kids cartoon that's able to reference that storyline has some balls.
I was hoping RebelTaxi would do a video on this but this will do for now.

Man, TTG is fine. Tired of people hating on it just cause it's different from the original series. It's just a different type of show.
Haven't had a chance to check out the new PPG but looks like I'm not missing anything. It's a shame how far a Cartoon Cartoon original has fallen. Hopefully they don't do the same with Samurai Jack.

Love me some rebel taxi.
It's not your fault if it sucks then, its obvious the problems with this show are writing related, and the unicorn episode proved it, the writers are so out of touch they patted themselves in the back for that trainwreck before even airing it.
That we do. Recent episodes have been so good, i really liked the recent-ish Jamie episode, nearly died when she went "Since you're darwin's boyfriend, that makes you my boyfriend too!".
And i like that Gumball keeps imagining himself as a wife through the series.
Cartoon Network has nothing to do with Jack, that's Adult Swim/Toonami. They are considered separate channels.

So why doesn't this show have the original voice actors?
Powerpuff Girls must be some product some focus test group. Instead of show about Superheroes who happen to be little girls it just seems like a show about little girls with powers.
Edit : They also turned down the over the top violence. Soft

They have been blasting every episode in their tumblr tho.

It becomes more evident from the PR of the show. Constantly trying to say how "progressive" they are and the show is (the reason they got rid of Ms. Bellum was he body regardless of her basically running Townsville and being the most rounded and respected characters of the old series). As if progressiveness is a bandwagon to hop on in the wake of Adventure Time and Steven Universe. Neither the writing nor PR feel genuine.

Honestly I tried to give it a fair chance, but it kept getting worse and worse and worse.
This is what is making our kids dumb.

Got rid of Ms Bellum but twerking is fine? Whatever CN.
Edit : Also for a show that promotes girl power why did turn down the violence and have less action scenes?

This video is my first exposure to stuff from the show that hasn't already been commented about. On top of everything else, censoring the hits for the Powerpuff Girls completely ruins the show for me. Part of what made the original show great was that it was three cute little girls who straight up beat the shit out of villains. No cutesy storylines or powers, just straight-up punches to the face and kicks to the stomach. The "Girl Power" aspect of it was that they were still girly but they punched, kicked, and hit harder than anyone else. You can wear a skirt, a bow, and have long hair, and still punch someone's teeth out.
It was a comedy cartoon with legit action and fighting in episodes; that's part of the reason why it had a cross-gender appeal as well. Boys couldn't knock the show for being girly when Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup spent their super-heroing punching bad guys.
It's OK... not as good as the original for me but I saw my cousins really liking it the other day so I guess the show is getting success with their target audience.
I don't really like is the excuse to not include Ms. Bellum tho.

Or PoliGAF in about a week or so when Adam comes back.
I think they're not kindergartners anymore based on some clips online.

Got up to the end of season 4 on Netflix. The show is starting to take a dive. I've noticed this seems to happen a lot for shows once their art style changes.
I don't remember much of the later seasons but didn't they switch to Flash?

Yeah, the excuse is really shit. It reeks of misaimed feminism, lol. Instead of elevating the character (while also misunderstanding the purpose of her being in that role in the first place), they just eliminate her.
I believe so. But it certainly used it better then this show. Also another error in the new show I came across, don't have the link though: In one scene Buttercup says Blossom's line and not only that, they forgot to put in Blossom's hair (her ponytail).
Budget=Literally peanuts.

Every day we stray a little further from God's light.
yep. watching this, dexter's lab, and spongebob and it's the same deal for all of them in the later seasons. worse writing, worse pacing, worse voice acting, stiffer poses and animation... bleh.
and ppg in particular just looks worse. the colors are more vibrant but they're also garish and the shots overall are less harmonious than the earlier seasons.
They wont. The OG director for Jack is making it (Tartakovsky), and he's only gotten better as a director.

What is Princess like in this show?

Plus it's on Toonami which runs things differently IIRC.
New Princess is somewhat more mature than old Princess since she wines less from what I have seen.
Correct. People tend to forget that Adult Swim and Cartoon Network are two separate stations sharing the same channel.

But I liked that one as a kid. Why?
Season 4 wast the one that had that really weird episode with the make up villian, no?
I remember watching it and it was just kind of odd, couldn't help but feel there was a reference i was not getting.

The whole removal of Miss Bellum is weird in a lot of ways.
If the sexy lady who represents the ridiculousness of the male gaze and trivializing of women's abilities clashes with the MO of the show, what does that say about them keeping HIM?
An effeminate creepy crossdressing ambiguously gay devil man who was created in a less LGBT-friendly time and is essentially the embodiment of all evil in that universe.
You'd think he would have been the first one on the chopping block if they were looking to make the series more progressive.

Wow. Are they animating it largely stateside? Regardless, the production schedule must be hectic to be making mistakes like that.
