‘Powerpuff Girls’ Live-Action Series - Officially Dead

[Muttnik]

I thought the Professor was Asian? Really timely, you guys.

 

[AnOminous]

This is what I love about 'woke' media - the narratives they try to push are so incoherently mismatched with each other that they end up causing the same problems they supposedly are trying to address. There's no way the irony of an exploitive black father with effectively adopted white children is going to escape the internet.

This is going to be a train wreck in every imaginable way. Everyone who ever loved the original are going to be newly infuriated, even more than with that disgusting reboot that shit all over the original and even had that fucking pedo with his repulsive self-shipping inserted into the actual show. SJWs are going to fucking hate it because "black man portrayed as abusive shitty dad." Anti-SJWs are going to hate it because "muh blackwashing."

The SJW pandering is so fucking inept it's going to drive even SJWs berserk.

This project needs to be dumped. Into a shallow grave. Along with whoever greenlighted it.

Absolutely fuck this shit.

The original PPG was a quirky classic that managed to combine an actually good "girl power" message with ridiculous levels of cuteness. Why must these bastards defile it? Again.

The "Fuck you, Dad!" vibes the reboot is giving off is even more hilarious now.

Oh, it's amazing because it's almost a given with this premise of 'disillusioned PPG' that they'll be playing up the exploitive dad angle. I get that the PPG weren't technically his biological kids (since they really are as much his children as Mojo Jojo as pointed out in one episode of the show no less), but the PPG themselves initially were going to be the 'perfect little girls' until MJJJ decided to be a little shit and cause trouble, leading to the ironic creation of the kindergarteners who regularly kicked his ass on a near-daily basis.

Only now Prof. Plutonium is black.

I just love it when they have shows that go woke and end up shooting themselves in the foot.
The "Black father treating his kids like shit" plot is going to make this show a disaster and I'm debating if I want to watch this trainwreck now.

as bad as the reboot was (is?) it never went THIS far with how badly misguided the ideas were. Like did these idiots look at professor utonium and think he was white just because he wasn't yellow skinned with slanted eyes? Newsflash dumbasses, Asians don't look like ww2 propaganda cartoons IRL.

NGL I always thought Prof. Utonium was as white bread as they come. Never even heard of him being intended to be asian.

The show did have a huge anime influence plus he did come off as a twinkie kind of Asian. As in Asian my blood but with the speech and mannerisms of a white guy. Maybe it was that plus the fan theory that he's actually samurai Jack and the experiment to bring the ppgs to life was actually an attempt to bring ashi back

This but for the entirety of the CW's lineup as a whole, Syfy is a more respectable channel

That's a dumb theory given PPG straight up pre-dates Samurai Jack, let alone SJ S5, and ultimately wasn't it retconned through the video game secret ending that Ashi doesn't vanish but lives happily as Jack's wife?

Regardless, whatever he was supposed to be, it clearly wasn't african american.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

The theory wasn’t that he was Samurai Jack, it’s that Jack was his ancestor. I think the creators encouraged it a bit, but it was never anything confirmed or whatever.

Yeah I know I'm just saying despite the holes I do kinda like the idea of tying two series together like that. And it actually is semi more plausible since season 5 did show that not only did jack return to his own time but is more or less immortal now and would still be alive in the 21st century to adopt the identity of utonium.


But yeah the game pretty much nuked that theory to hell and back and before I go too far off topic. It doesn't matter what you think the man's race is the bottom line is he's not a goddamn jogger.

If they were going to color him up a bit they should have just made him the Utonium from Z. But that would actually make sense.

It's also ludicrous to take a character whose main characteristic was actually being devoted and caring and turn him into an asshole. A black asshole. Lmao.

About the only good that can come of this is if it's so atrociously bad it's a classic of badness. But unfortunately soulless corporate shit rarely does that.

Almost as if people involved in the show never actually saw a single episode.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Uh... isn't this supposed to be in-continuity with the OG show? Was changing his own race the professor's next experiment after creating the girls?

But hey, this show was going to be utter shit either way, so whatever. Personally I hope they make it as absurd and over the top as possible. Maybe have a troon Powerpuff Girl come along and bash all their heads off with a golf club a la Last of Us 2.

 

[Grant McClellan]

Awwwww, the racism of the Kiwi Farms is showing cause they complain about a black person being cast in something!

>As a kid, the nerdy, power-hungry, insecure JoJo was obsessed with The Powerpuff Girls, despite his father’s grudge against them. As an adult, JoJo finds his sweetness and rage in constant battle.

We are looking at a trainwreck of galactic proportions here, folks.

Yeah, once the show makes the black person look like a complete failure of a father that exploited his artificially perfected white daughters without their consent to save the thankless bastards of Townsville day after day, we'll see who's more racist.

Meet Mojo Jojo's son. Yes.

At this point I'm convinced nobody behind this show has actually seen the original cartoon.

This is the fourth Rowdyruff boy, everyone, because they forgot the first three fucking existed (their deaths notwithstanding).

Why is he a human? Mojo Jojo is a green monkey for goodness' sake. How does Mojo Jojo reproduce? Did he steal the Professor's recipe for the girls?

Also, there is only one man who can do a lineage of JoJos right, and that is Hirohiko Araki. Stop trying to be Araki.
