History YMMV / DCSuperHeroGirls

** Cheetah was often accused of being a KarmaHoudini and one dimensional. Starting with "Saving The Day", she gets consistently punished for what she does, and gains hidden depths. She's also OutOfFocus for those not fond of her behavior, and Lashina and the Female Furies more or less have take over her role as the more frequent antagonists.
** Season 1 shorts were accused of being too short. Season 2 increases the length so that they're at least two and a half minutes long. Season 3 increases the minimum length to three and a half minutes long, and multi part stories are integrated.

** Rumours that the franchise would be rebooted later also came with word that this version wouldn't have all the alignment swaps (Harley would get to stay due to her extreme popularity, but would get an onscreen redemption arc instead of being a hero from the start).

** This also hold true for the Lego projects, where you have had to see the Lego shorts and 22 minute special before going into the Lego Brain Drain movie.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: While it hasn't completely gone away and its standard with any Website/YouTube series, there was more criticism early on with how short the episodes are (1.5-2.5 minutes longs). Eventually, the shorts became longer, usually averaging in at about 3-4 minutes, which has lessened complaints.

** Also, Lena Luthor just for being such an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.

** The main series eventually evolved into this. Later episodes build upon earlier ones quite frequently. This also holds true for the movies. For example, you would have had to see at least "Super Hero High", "Tales Of The Kryptomites" , and "Spring Break Prison" in order to understand the Intergalactic Games movie.

* FanPreferredCouple: When it comes to ships, HQ/WW, Batgirl/Supergirl, HQ/Ivy, Big Barda/Lady Shiva, and Flash/Frost are the most popular

* BrokenBase: Some of the fanbase is disappointed that this got made over ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' considering both were comedic LighterAndSofter versions of DC superheroines, seeing this series as a generic girl toyline show made to compete with the likes of ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' or ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''. Others are a bit more receptive and find the concept of a superhero school with DC characters interesting at least. Ironiclly Lauren Faust work on both ''Super Best Friends Forever'' and this show.

* WinBackTheCrowd: After ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' proved to be polarizing to the periphery demographic, this show and the ''Lego Justice League'' DVD movies proved that having lighthearted DC fare can still attract both kids and adults. .

* FanPreferredCouple: When it comes to ships, HQ/WW, Batgirl/Supergirl, HQ/Ivy, and Flash/Frost are the most popular

* NarmCharm: The entire Lego Brain Drain is this, with its cheesy dialogue being really funny to watch.

** The series makes it obvious that supervillains like Cheetah, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy are superheroes (in training) in this universe. Despite this, several fans give them {{Dark and Troubled Past}}s or have them be former criminals who underwent [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turns]] prior to the series.

* GrowingTheBeard: Season 1 is often criticized for having the shorts be too short, Katana, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} being underutilized, and AlphaBitch Cheetah being a KarmaHoudini. ''Saving The Day'' has Cheetah be punished for her actions, and she's more downplayed in later episodes. The length of the shorts in season 2 is more consistent, with all of them (except the Hero Of The Month ones) regularly being 2.5-3.5 minutes long. While Katana is still underutilized, Supergirl and Batgirl get more screen time, especially in ''Super Hero High''. Seasons 2 and 3 take things further.

** Lauren Faust has wanted to make a show like this called ''Super Best Friends Forever'' into a full series but was shot down because CN claimed they already has a show like that (presumably meaning ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' whose three female leads were quite similar in personality to Faust's version of Supergirl, Batgirl and Wondergirl). Cut to 2018 and they ended up picking up this show for their schedule and look who helped develop it?

* JerkassWoobie: Blackfire may be cold with her sister, and others as well, but you can't help but feel bad for her when you consider she was pushed to focusing only on doing the best by Sinestro, and distancing herself from others, again because of Sinestro. Her looking fondly at the portrait with her and Starfire cements this.

* WinBackTheCrowd: After ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' proved to be polarizing to the periphery demographic, this show and the Lego Justice League DVD movies proved that having lighthearted DC fare can still attract both kids and adults. .

* JustHereForGodzilla: A significant amount of fans were drawn to the show because of Creator/LaurenFaust's involvement.

Others are a bit more receptive and find the concept of a superhero school with DC characters interesting at least.

* HilariousInHindsight: On ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' , Tara Strong originally auditioned for Pinkie Pie. Now this show comes along, and she reprises the role of Harley Quinn, whose Adaptational Heroism makes her an expy of Pinkie Pie.

** Wonder Woman can be compared to [[Franchise/MonsterHigh Frankie Stein]], in terms of being the [[NaiveNewcomer new girl]].

* OlderThanTheyThink: This is not the first show to age down Poison Ivy to that of a teen/preteen. That already happened on ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' .

* ItsShortSoItSucks: While it hasn't completely gone away, there was more criticism early on with how short the episodes are (1.5-2.5 minutes longs). Eventually, the shorts became longer, usually averaging in at about 3-4 minutes, which has lessened complaints.

* XMeetsY: ''Franchise/MonsterHigh'' meets ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever''

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The show takes the whole idea of girl power, and takes it in a whole new spin. The girls are portrayed as strong characters, but nothing is said to the effect of "I never knew a girl could be this strong." They have weaknesses, but it's weaknesses not specific only to girls. They're attractive, but not overly sexualized. It's all the little details that make this message more meaningful due to the girls having identities outside of gender.

*** The reason for that is marketing. Wonder Woman and Flash are more well known and iconic than their young protégés, hence why they're in the show.

*** There is a believable justification for that. Given how iconic Batman and Superman, it renders almost they know as "the enemy of Batman", "the enemy of Superman", "the ally of Batman", "the ally of Superman", etcetera. Everyone is more less limited to being linked to Batman and Superman, and this show helps them break out of their mold and make them stand as their own characters. For example, Lois Lane's reimagining is into that of a more spunky and excitable personality, as opposed to her more stern persona, yet still stays caring. For a more clear answer, we've technically had shows with a [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond teenage Batman]] and [[WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes teenage Superman]]

* It'sSoShortItSucks: While it hasn't completely gone away, there was more criticism early on with how short the episodes are (1.5-2.5 minutes longs). Eventually, the shorts became longer, usually averaging in at about 3-4 minutes, which has lessened complaints.

** It's a wonder why Franchise/TheFlash and Franchise/WonderWoman are used here when their younger counterparts could fill the same roles with little to no problem. The reason for that is marketing. Wonder Woman and Flash are more well known and iconic than their young protégés, hence why they're in the show.
** Conversely, some people see it as a waste that Batman and Superman have already graduated, and feel it would've been interesting to see the two as [[KidHero kid heroes]], especially since many of their usual teammates, friends, and even love interests are still either students or far younger than them.

** Making Catwoman similar to her [[ClassyCatBurglar comic]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold counterpart]] was met with approval from comic fans of DC who weren't too thrilled about some of the villains becoming heroes with a total personality change. Rumours that the franchise would be rebooted later also came with word that this version wouldn't have all the alignment swaps (Harley would get to stay due to her extreme popularity, but would get an onscreen redemption arc instead of being a hero from the start).

** Really, most of the cast qualifies. It helps that all of them can voice both adult and teenage characters, especially with Grey DeLisle Griffin, Tara Strong, and Josh Keaton, among others, who voice the teenage versions of their regular adult characters.

* HeReallyCanAct: In this case, it's "She really can act". Cristina Pucelli's performances as Catwoman and Amethyst are really well received. She captures the sultry allure and moral ambiguity of the former, and gives a great sense of formality to the latter.

** After season 1 focused only on Wonder Woman, Harley, Ivy, Katana, and Bumblebee, we have the Super Hero High movie focusing on Batgirl and Supergirl, and they upgrade to main characters in season 2.
