History Headscratchers / ThePowerpuffGirls2016

*** Then that raises the question of why they would expect to return to kindergarten in the first place...

** True but that doesn't answer the question of why she isolated Buttercup, took her spot on the team and then decided to destroy the team with the exception of herself to be "The only Powerpuff girl." As opposed to just destroying them altogether and taking over.

** PoliticalOvercorrectness, 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). However it stinks of hypocrisy as the episode "Painbow" has a hypnotized Blossom and Bubblea twerking.

** Princess is a power-obsessed little brat who enjoys having enough resources to throw around and rubbing it in other people's faces.

*** 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]].

* Princess Morebucks was paying the Derbytantes to befriend Buttercup and isolate her from her sisters so she could take Buttercup's place on the team and be a Powerpuff Girl. She proceeds to call a giant monster to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Pummel Blossom and Bubbles until they agree to let her onto the team]] [[TwoPlusTortureEqualsFive and they reluctantly agree]]. This would be all well and good except for the fact that immediately after they agree, she calls the monster off and traps them in a CrystalPrison before donning a golden mecha suit to destroy the crystal and the girls declaring that she'll be the only Powerpuff Girl. This raises the following questions: If she intended to destroy the girls, why go to the trouble of isolating Buttercup to open up a spot on the team? Why did she need their permission to join much less beat them into submission to get it and what was she going to do about Buttercup after destroying Blossom and bubbles? PlotHole doesn't even begin to cover it...

** Judging by the character page for the girls, the 2016 series seems to be in an alternate continuity. That doesn't make sense, though, because there elements of the new show which 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.

** They removed her since she worked for the dimwited Mayor. That's it. They believed her to convey the wrong message since she was under the Mayor, thus not being "compatible" for the continuation.
