*** If that's the case, shouldn't the writers have built on the characteristics that the characters already had, rather than taking them in a different direction, or depicting the girls in such a way That they are less able to self regulate? In some ways, [[CharacterDerailment it's like the girls are less mature now than when they were younger]].

** To answer your question, it was always meant to be a continuation of the original {{WesternAnimation/Powerpuff Girls}} which depicts the girls as being Elementary Schoolers. Right from the start.

Judging by the character page for the girls, the 2016 series seems to be in an alternate continuity, but that doesn't make sense, because elements of the new show indicate that it picked up where the original series left off,such as characters aging, and the girls and Miss Keane being placed in a school where they work on more advanced material than they usually did at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten.

* Is the show in the same continuity as the Cartoon Network series? In the 2016 series, it was the professor who accidentally create the girls, but in the CN series, Mojo caused the accident. So...does the 2016 series take place in an alternate universe where Mojo wasn't the professor's pet monkey?

* Out of all the girls in the new reboot, Buttercup seems more one dimensional and a heroic comedic sociopath, as well seems dumber and more a anti hero, like a more short tempered Bart Simpson wannabe. She used to have the most character depth and was more legitimately multi layered(realistic) of the girls IMO. So what happened?
** That's more of a YMMV than a Headscratcher.

** Because the network rebooted a beloved show and replaced its well-known and strongly-identifiable comedic mix of ultra-violent slapstick and cheeky & cheesy puns with little more than disposable memes and transient internet slang that says nothing and humors nobody. Generally, when a beloved show is revived, it's typically advisable to ensure it ''feels like'' the show used to, not just pander to twelve-year-old tumblr users.

*** The other problem, is a lot of times the humor relies on the meme...so anyone who isn't AWARE of memes will find it rather...disconcerting. Like the "No me gusta" face. If you don't know the face, it's just WEIRD. They're going a bit too far, and having the joke be ENTIRELY be 'the meme'. As they said...it's shoehorned in and doesn't fit.

** PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad, basically. The original show had a strong creative vision, which included a cheeky, naughty sense of humor covered in a veneer of sugar and spice. But the revival has no real creative vision; it's just hazily-remembered tropes from the original show assembled into something focus groups assume kids will love (as long as it's been sanitized for their fragile little minds).
