I honestly don't understand why they can't just do reruns. Before the 2000s, reruns were common as fuck and are the reason why kids in the 90s were still fond or familiar with Inspector fucking Gadget or even Beverly Hillbillies. Hell CN got to where it is by rerunning Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbera shit and treating it as new content alongside actual new content before tossing it all to Boomerang.

One issue in today's world with old cartoons may be the 4:3 aspect ratio, it's funny how you could air decades old cartoons in the 1990s and everything was fine, but now airing something from the 90s is going to look real dated on a modern television.
 
In the updated version of my life, I am now disillusioned twentysomethings who resents having their childhood cartoons changed to live action remakes. Will I watch this new pile of shit now that the retards in charge of these studios with no ideas besides raping old ones need them more than ever?

So what's stopping them from making some fancy-schmancy borders to cue up with the reruns to fill up that aspect ratio? Wouldn't be any different from the snipes taking up the entirety of the bottom screen.

Toonami did that with Dragon Ball Z, I don't know why nobody else does. It was an obvious thing with video games dating back as far back as the Super Game Boy but television hasn't really caught up.
 
Guess what IGN just posted about.

Live-Action Powerpuff Girls Series Pilot Ordered by CW​

Sugar, spice, and everything nice.​

The CW has ordered a pilot for a live-action Powerpuff Girls series.This series, which was in development as of last August, will center on the girls who are now disillusioned twenty-something-year-olds who resent that they lost their childhood to years of fighting crime, according to Variety. The series will answer the question of whether or not the former team reunites once more when their crime-fighting skills are needed again.This series comes by way of writers and executive producers, Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody, with the latter executive producing under the banner of Vita Vera Films. Regnier worked on the recent Veronica Mars revival, iZombie, and Sleepy Hollow while Cody is best known for writing Juno and working on Jennifer's Body and Young Adult.


Greg Berlanti, David Madden, and Sarah Schechter will executive produce the show under the Berlanti Productions banner. Erika Kennair and Warner Bros. Television will produce the show.
The Powerpuff Girls ran for six seasons for a total of 78 episodes between 1998 and 2005. The original animated series was created by Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network and centered around three superhero crimefighters by the names of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. These girls were created when Professor Utonium combined "sugar, spice, and everything nice with the mysterious Chemical X," as the show's intro reminded you with every episode.
The 25 Best Adult Cartoon TV Series
A Powerpuff Girls movie was released in 2002 and a reboot of the series aired on Cartoon Network in 2016. It's unclear what this live-action series will pull from the animated series beyond the actual Powerpuff Girls, but the writers have plenty to pull from by way of nefarious villains such as Him, Mojo Jojo, and more.

Just nuke Hollywood and be done with it. They're beyond creatively bankrupt - they're Chapter 13 creatively bankrupt.
 
This needs to stop. This is gay as fuck. This is a pathetic abomination.
 
I remember when way back then there's cartoon spergs calling for Cartoon Network to revive old cartoons e.g. Powerpuff Girls instead of making new cartoons that aren't to their likings (Believe it or not, Adventure Time wasn't to their likings either compared with right now where it's just looked more positive). Now that they got their wishes, it's just funny to see them reaping what they sow.

As for the live action one, man I can't imagine the idea of seeing live action people wearing simplified costumes seen in the cartoon.

They will probably make the Professor a villain.

God, I am going to be so pissed off at the scene where the girls shout at the professor how he “didn’t treat us like your daughters, you treated us like tools! That’s all you wanted in the end” and the show is going to blatantly suggest that’s the truth at which point I’m going to hurl my tv through a fucking window.
