Powerpuffs Girl [2016]
- Thread starter ShineCero

Completely agreed. The first episode was "okay". I thought it was simply just starting things off. Now, it literally become randomized as Teen Titans Go! with various of stupid plots and musical, along with tumblr shit invested into it. Fighting is pretty much a afterthought and they aren't being what they should be "Powerpuff Girls". No wonder Craig trashed the show on twitter and was against the reboot lol
Seriously, PPG is nothing more than invested memes that shouldn't even be near from one another, in my personal opinion. We already thought We Bare Bears (which is a quality show imo), we certainly don't need another one.

Hm, I probably have a somewhat unusual opinion here but I think it's.....okay. It felt kinda messy for a long time for sure, didn't quite want to be the first series but wasn't quite sure what IT wanted to be either, but I think it's really kind of found something the last few episodes. Thought that second Man Boy episode in particular was pretty fun

The first couple of episodes weren't bad at all to me, but I feel like the more I watched, the worse it would get? I think the worst episode for me was the where the villain was literally a Panda who made everyone act like ...they were on something. Also, the twerking scene. Biggest WTF moment I've had in a WHILE.
I may as well point out how watered down the final product is compared to the storyboarding:
compared to 1998:
There really shouldn't be an excuse to make the final product less emotive/expressive than the storyboarding. It feels like they try very hard to keep the girls in a 'position' where you could just copy/paste limbs or the body entirely without much effort. The older one feels like their movements are much more dynamic (and the opening of the 2016 show does show fluid movement), yet in the episodes now, their action poses come off as stiff and rigid to me.
Along with this grievance, I don't like how they chose the "pupils show expression" route with the girls, let alone that I feel like they have a neutral expression for a good chunk of the episode's time.
Oh, and side note; there's a reason the original avoided doing side-views of the Powerpuffs.
Fish-face syndrome occurs.
I also wish they didn't reduce Blossom's character into "I LOVE STAPLERS AND BINDERS" either. The Obsessed and Organized trope is overused and pretty annoying to me, I don't find it very endearing the way they make it. And less sibling-bickering, more fights, pls.
The only episode I enjoyed recently was the one with Princess Morebucks, but even then the plot for that was pretty contrived.
Even though they insist this reboot is more of a continuation, there's a lot of potential that they simply haven't taken advantage of. Allegro the Panda is probably THE WORST villain I've ever seen. probably more of a creep than an evil villain
It's not the worst show I've ever seen, but it isn't very exciting to watch nor do I feel like there is anything important for some eps, like they just needed to pump out something for ratings. It's alright on a good day. It's not the only show to have done the "We referenced internet memes, please like our show" episode either; We Bare Bears had a Meme Audition episode. The reboot doesn't feel like they put effort into making it match up to its predecessor-- it feels like a rebranded cash grab (which is what I think TTG stands at currently, and they essentially have made it clear they don't care if the original show was better and that their version doesn't need to fix its self-aware problems)
until I see some worthy action going on, I let the show run as white noise while I wait for something else to come on. Some epsiodes have grabbed my attention, but the rest make me shrug and skip it. And I was actually really excited for this reboot-- I want to like it, but it's been making that difficult to accomplish.
