I'm betting Jojo jr is either going to have been grown in a lab or just adopted.

How expensive was a cgi monkey that they needed to pull this? I'll put money that he'll only be refered to as jojo and the actual jojo will only be occasionally referenced.

Can't wait for the episode where they go into how mojo was a better father than the professor though.

I read the script for the pilot and....phew its a cw show

there's lots of outdated ~internet and millennial slang and references. bubbles is a messy alcoholic/pill addict who can't live down her glory days in the powerpuff girls and is still searching for her former childhood fame even as a ~washed-up adult. blossom has PTSD? from the experience and is married to some boring dude. buttercup is a firefighting lesbian who is more well-adjusted than the others, but hates blossom and professor drake and only returns to the town to collect her inheritance...however, while there they all get pulled back into reforming the powerpuff girls. but the whole thing, tonally and character-wise, is a MESS and it did not necessarily have to be. just trying too hard to do way too much.

This... This is a joke, right? That can't seriously be how the series is written, is it? For God's sake, it sounds more like a parody of dark and edgy reboots of nostalgic properities.
 
Looks like we got our first images, and it's even worse than you'd imagine

...so they're making the series dark and edgy as shit and they're keeping the fucking goddamn clothes?

At least PPGZ updated the clothes to match the style!

So they hate that they were child superheroes...but they still dress like that.

Okay

Moreover, they had to get those made in adult size.

for all the horrible things coming out about this so far this really isn't so bad in comparison, it's just some randos in decent halloween costumes
still not as bad as Starfire from that one thing where she looked infinitely less like Starfire than most black chicks of appropriate build with dyed hair

>they made the violent one black
For chrissakes, Tumblr at least has the decency to blackwash Bubbles for her hairstyle or Blossom for her smarts.

I'm calling it now, Blossom's gonna be lesbian hatefuck lovers with Princess, because these types of writers just love that "enemies to lovers" shit, as exemplified by Catradora and shit like that.

I really can't wait for this to fail harder than the 2016 reboot.
