#live action powerpuff girls

I’m glad that live action PPG was canceled, bc it would have been an absolute shitshow

But I’m also way too interested who would they have casted as Ace… giving that he actually was supposed to be in that horror-

(I’ve seen people fancasting Jonny Beauchamp as Ace and… yeah, that kinda seems fitting)

Y'all, do you understand how surreal it is to be in my late thirties and be talking about new episodes of Dragon Ball and Ranma 1/2 on here?

Nostalgia cycle really is coming for my childhood with a wheelbarrow and a shovel, isn't it?

Bubbles really loves animals, especially our dog Rizal (or as we mostly call him, Pepe).

The RowdyRuff Boyz?!

Is Hiei Utonium or Mojo Jojo?!

It’s interesting to read about and have it affirmed that the show does super well commercially with product licensing. It’s one of the things that bums me out about this show… like, it’s great that it’s a money maker, but the cost of that is that products and new reboots and stuff are pushed out for money, and quality is just an afterthought. Really disheartening.

Anyway, most of the stuff in here has been said time and time again in other articles. I’ve been sort of irritated by the “kryptonite” thing Craig’s been saying lately (they have an actual kryptonite, Antidote X, and he’s describing responsibilities, which aren’t debilitating, they’re merely an inconvenience) and the misogynist undertones of what he says about how older PPGs wouldn’t be special or interesting are… still kind of low key gross… (I understand that the concept of the original is that they’re unique partially because they’re kids and I also prefer that setting, but as if they aren’t unique enough superheroines in their own right, and heaven forbid they ever gain responsibilities that older girls/women/people could relate to 🙄). Aside from my personal quibbles, a good read for the 25th even if it does rehash things!

It would have been nice if they had done powerpuff girls live action. It would have been interesting to see what it would have looked like. It's sad that nothing came of it. Well, I wanted to reappear. I miss performing.

I know everyone agrees that the live action show that never happened would've been A Bad Idea, but hypothetically speaking, if we ever did get a live action show, it's kind of interesting to think of who would play each role.

For Professor Utonium, I think that full house era Bob Saget would've been perfect, but unfortunately that would be impossible now. I think maybe someone like Topher Grace could do well in his stead.

I've also seen someone suggest Christina Hendricks for Ms. Bellum, and I think she has the look down pat. She rocked her role in Mad Men.

For Sedusa, I think Megan Fox or Liz Giles would be great

Amy Acker would be perfect for Ms. Keane imo. Loved her character in Angel

The PPG themselves are honestly super hard for me to cast and I can't think of anyone off the top of my head, but I do think the Live Action show's choice of Dove Cameron for an older Bubbles was a decent one. I could also see Elle Fanning rocking the role.

Most of the Gangreen Gang is difficult to think of, but I think Moises Arias for Lil' Arturo would be great

Jake T. Austin also looks a bit like how I'd picture an older human!Arturo

I just discovered her when I was looking around so I haven't seen her act in anything, but Annalise Basso would be perfect for Princess Morbucks

And I know she's not a canon character, but just for fun I do kinda like Maude Apatow for Snake's sister Ivy

But yeah, that's all I got right now. I'd love to find more, so if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know!

We hated the Riverdalification of the Powerpuff Girls so bad that it got cancelled

Can we do the same thing to the Riverdalification of Scooby Doo?

Just…. Cancel it

Episode 5

Before we get to The Mantis Lords, there isn't a lot to go into but I think this is the funniest episode I'd done so far. Editing is still a little jank but I was still in the Early Stages of figuring shit out, and I was writing, getting the game footage, doing voice direction, and editing these videos AND trying to keep on a 'one video every two weeks' timeline Needless to say. Extremely not sustainable and the editing kinda suffered from it. But that said. Ultimately I'm still pretty proud of how it turned out, timing jank or no. But the Mantis Lords themselves I'm reeally proud of. They may be my favorite characters to write, as you can see going forward I just keep putting them in episodes because I really like them. So I assume everyone reading this is, like, familiar with the Mantis Lords from the game. Needless to say I had to give them... uh... any level of character so that they could interact with things. This was around the time that Live Action CW Power Puff Girls Where They're 20 And Upset About It, was making the waves in the Complaining About Cartoons circut.

Y'all remember this.

Just an absolute bad idea from all angles. The Cartoon Grognard Complainers had several years to bitch about the Powerpuff Girls Reboot where bubbles twerks. And with this on the horizon, and the script leaking from it. Everyone was having a field day with it because... ...I mean it was gonna be real bad. I sound like I'm decrying the grognards, but that's because, as a grognard, it's my sworn duty to decry my own actions. The leaked script was charitably not very good. But the studio was thanking it's lucky stars for The Pandemic because they could just say "We're reworking it" and then quietly move it from the shelf to the trash, and no one needs to think about it again.

But being in the middle of this discourse I was thinking to myself Making the PPGs 20 somethings who are struggling to find their way through life is kinda passé. Boring shit. Seen it a million times. A child could come up with that, and has!

So... what if they were in their mid forties and struggling to run a country? Now THAT has some legs!

And that's how we get Rial, Sarose, and Gelnin!

Rial being the buttercup, Sarose being the blossom, and Gelnin being bubbles.

This also let me give each of them a sort of Domain that they oversee. Rial being the tactical and military strategist (With longstanding connections to their neighbors and allies Deepnest) Sarose being essentially the Overseer, the Leader Leader for when a quick decisions needs to get made, and someone to guide the general direction of policy. And Gelnin is in charge of the nitty-gritty of the economics and infrastructure, something she is incredibly passionate about, to the point of boring everyone to tears. (This also let me envision an episode of PPG where the professor buys Blossom a copy of TTD, that she gets bored of relatively quickly, leaving bubbles to give it a try and she becomes completely addicted.)

Thankfully I've found everyone else loves these mantis lords as much as I do. I think they're good characters, and at least the people commenting on my videos seem to agree. And yeah, they are fun as fuck to write. The line from this episode "My beautiful, wonderful sisters, I am moments away from rejoining the battle ON HIS SIDE!" is one of my favorite lines I ever done which is why it's in all of the promotional material. I just think it's really funny.

when will someone tell me why powerpuff girls are no.1 on trending right now. are we living in 2001?

[queenladonna]

THANK YOU, GOD! We’ve WON!! 🙌🏽

[akascow]

fun fact morpheus the sandman was my father in my dream last night

[aldrine-joseph-25]

Of course, I could follow the "ladies first" rule and let Buttercup put her card down first, but she wanted me to do it, so I guess I'll make an exception. Then again, she's a tomboy.

[bee-cried]

The reason why cw should not make a live action ppg.

Because when something goes mainstream it's Canon and I'm an overgrown baby still enjoying my ppg ball pit of fic and fan art.

That script was mid, but if Bubbles and Butch are canonically going to grow up and be lovers, than I'm ?

?

???

Um, I like my color clash and color crack and color code purely Fandom no executive touches whatsoever. I don't want some fucking adult show telling me what ships actually made it like fuck off. Fuck off the rowdyruff boys left Townsville and never came back.

The end CW

The fucking end.

Stop trying to rewrite the story. You're not convincing me that Professor was a bad man.

Please stop trying to make Buttercup the only black one.

Please stop trying to make Buttercup the only black one.

Please... CW, please...

CW please. Please. Drop your pens. Please.

[bugeyedfreaks]

I love the idea of Buttercup being a party girl. I'd imagine in her teens she'd fake her age to try and buy beer. Though she'd probably need some help since almost everyone in Townsville most likely knows how old she is

100%, she would absolutely be the rebellious one trying to do all of the Forbidden Adult Things. Bubbles would also totally be the one going along with her wild escapades (after being peer pressured of course, ‘cause she’s totally hardcore enough to party!) and Blossom would constantly be trying to stop her (EDIT: I take that back, she’d probably do that the first few times, but eventually get tired of it and from that point forward let Buttercup dig her own grave lol), then lecturing/making fun of her when the Professor would eventually catch and ground her for all of it (which I assume would totally be often because, yeah, everyone in town knows her, so it would be hundreds of times harder for her to get away with things).
