The idea of Mojo being the catalyst for the crossover, and him teaming up with the Brain, does pique my interest for the special.

[up][up]It....sounds simple enough but I can't help but be a little cynical and sketical about the whole thing.

Mojo at his best could be threatening despite everything, but of course that won't happen here.

You know what would be the most trollish thing ever?

If TTG writers would make sure that their crossover with PPG will be fun, respectful and appeal to everybody. And then they would go back to what they're usually are doing.

That's more like reverse trolling.

But not what we expected. I honestly hope that Cyborg goes all 90's kid about this, and states the history of the powerpuff girls to everyone, and they just show blank confused stares.

P.S: Man up 2 airs tomorrow night. SQUEE!

I love Maurice Lamarche but he can't really elevate Manboy much beyond "meh" to me.

I have not caught up with all the episodes they've aired but the reboot-original villains have been pretty underwhelming so far.

To be honest, classic villains weren't making much on an impression either.

Here's how I feel about this show: It has plenty stupidities about it. Missing Bellum, poorly utilized villains, trying to hard to be hip, and I could go on and on.

But I watched the flawed shows. I could acknowledge each mistake and move on, but besides that? The show is OK at best. Just generic, fine, take it or leave it. And as I try to enjoy mediocrity, show find new and new stupidities to throw at me as I get used to old ones and they all pile up.

Besides, you can't deny it's just a pale copy of old version. There isn't a single thing that is a perfect representation of old show or an improvement over it. If it didn't had "Powerpuff" in title, almost no one would be talking about it.

They haven't actually done much with old villains. But your last point is probably true, which is why reactions to these things are always so weird to me.

Edit: Although, I still for the life of me don't understand the Miss Bellum thing, either way they chose to get rid of her or why so many people care. But that's just...eh.

Well, one reason why people are angry because Bellum was removed in the name of being progressive and all that junk.

The best way to explain the Miss Bellum controversy is to just watch that Phelous review on the Q3 seasons of The Real Ghostbusters and their treatment of Janie in those seasons. Pretty much the same thing, except Bellum just got written out instead of dumbed down.

delayed response to this but

the most cringeworthy joke I always encounter on the internet: the Angry Popular Opinion Mob! Seriously we get you, your opinion is different from ours; we don't want a whole skit from you trying to express how different and unique your thoughts are you special little snowflake.
good lord yes, I'm glad someone else agrees with me here.


Okay, so, I haven't watched any of the episodes beyond "Power Up Puff"...any of those rise above mediocrity? I mean I'm probably gonna get around to watching them anyway (or not, because honestly those first 10 were cringeworthy enough for me), but I at least wanna know if I could expect any improvement.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

[up]

First of all, I feel like I should say again that I didn't know that was a clichéd gag.

Secondly, has anyone heard of this Neros Q guy?

He's actually made two videos reacting to Pan's thoughts on PPG 2016. I mean, I like the show (for now), but watching those two videos made me feel dirty...
