I really like your line-up, Big K! I would be very interested in seeing what a Pinkie Pie-like Wanda would be like. Also, considering the fact that the Wonderbolts are basically MLP's version of the Air Force, Carol being the group's version of Rainbow Dash makes even more sense.
Huh, I just realized. If Kamala were to exist in this hypothetical show, she'd basically be the Scootaloo, wouldn't she? I wonder if there are going to be any Cutie Mark Crusader-equivalents on DCSHG.
Your theoretical line up of additional villains in case some of the others get reformed makes me wonder, do you guys think any of the villains in DCSHG will end up being reformed eventually? I personally kinda doubt it, considering all the villains in this show seem pretty entrenched in evil... then again, not like that stopped MLP from reforming some of its most nefarious villains.... but on the other hand, all those reformations, apart from Luna, who was pretty much a split personality/mind-messing situation anyway, were well after Faust left the show.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.
x2 Thanks.
And regarding who in this show reform, well most of the female villains have turned good at some point in the comics but as far as I know/
- Cheetah probably won’t reform due to developing an evil feels good personality at the end of her episode and seems to like the Cheetah curse.
- Giganta lacks the sympathetic backstory of being a meek scientist and have a friendly foe relationship with Diana. So no face turn.
- Livewire is harkening to her classic personality from Superman TAS. Though I wonder where in the comics she made the Heel Face Turn before joining the Superman Family
- Batman is not a main character in this show, so chances of anti hero Catwoman is slim
- Lena Luthor isn’t going to be good like her CW counterpart. Plus she is pretty much classic Princess Morbucka at this point.
- Star Sapphire could most likely reformed with the story being her finally giving up her obsession with Hal Jordan realizing that he will never change. cause, y’know, all the male heroes in the show are incompatent or jerks, so no redeeming character arc for them. BTW, if that thing is true than for the Marvel Super Hero Girls show all the male characters will be based on their Ultimate counterparts (with the exception fo Spider-Man and Iron Man whose Ultimate counterparts are the only truly good characters).
- And since Harly is BFFFL with Batgirl, I could see her turning face as well.
- Poison Ivy I can’t really pinpoint as on one hand she is closer to her classic self but on the other like Harley she was once part of the good guys in the original DC Super Hero Girls
And to answer your question, the CMC will be comprised of Kamala Khan (Scootaloo), Kitty Pryde (Applebloom) and Kate Bishop (Sweetie Belle). And yes part of my reason for selecting those three specifically is because I am an edgelord who wants an excuse in putting KKK insignia for no reason . . . and that we have never seen these three ensemble darkhorses intereact in comics so it will be amusing to see them as the Cutie Mark Crusaders . . . but its most because of the KKK reason. My humor is that juvenile.
Oh shit! You’re right! Bonus points if she is the Daddy’s girl to Magneto the Overbearing Dad of Magnetism

Doesn't Poison Ivy have Harley as a kind of Morality Pet in DC canon?
If they were to appear here, Arthur and Mera have been on pretty stable ground since Brightest Day and New 52. Given that most of the drama comes from Atlantean politics and xenophobia, I guess there is something they'd do with other students looking at them suspiciously.
I liked #Superwho despite the derailments. Personally identified with Kara's resentment towards the more appreciated but actually younger Superman.
I see that MLP comparisons don't die easily. I mean there is no Spike or CMC in this show (and shouldn't Spike counterpart be a dude, anyway?)
Scarlet Witch as funny hero is something I didn't consider. Let's see, there are some good new heroes to try (Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl) and old (Storm, Wasp, Invisible Woman/Girl) As my addition, I'd consider She-Hulk (she would make natural teen hero) Elektra (She would NOT make a natural teen hero) and, if I'm allowed to dream, Lyja the Lazerfist.
Moonstone, Titania and Enchantress are kinda no-brainers. Screwball and Crimson Dynamo are great choices I admittedly didn't thought of. Notably, DCSVG seem to be very intentionally split (3 bat , 1 super, 1 wonder and 1 lantern villain) not sure how well that would work for Marvel. Enchantress from Thor, Dynamo or Madam Masque from Iron Man, Diamondback from Captain...3 Masters of Evil? X-Men villains? Bat villainesses are some of the most iconic baddies in Dc. Aside from anti-heroes like Silver Sable and Black Cat, Spider-Man femme villains like White Rabbit, Shriek or Yith aren't bad but are super obscure.
I think I'd go: HEROES - Ms Marvel, She-Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Squirrel Girl, Hawkeye and Elektra. VILLAINS - Titania, Madam Masque, Screwball, Crimson Dynamo, Enchantress and - because this is my line-up and I can do whatever I want - Ruby Thursday. Trust me, kids will love her.
Unrelated note, how about instead of all these shorts, DCSHG youtube channel could upload some songs? If I can get SVFOE's "Just Friends" and "Ballad of Star" how come I can't get "Ready to Rise"? Unrelated note 2: Electric Boogaloo, Livewire will have secret identity, right? No one put together that she and Leslie are the same person? I guess that explains how Supergirl and others can have secret identities if this is the level of deductive thinking people employ in this cartoon.
Well in that case: why the fuck isn’t Jubilee in Marvel Rising then!?! I would unirinically give the show a 10/10 if they include her . . . and maybe the New Warriors since that whole 80s - 2010s rule apply . . . and the Power Pack!
Okay getting off track here, I think this show is trying to make Aqualad the Spike of the series as he is incredibly young, often seen helping out the other heroines and is kind of a butt monkey. Unless they are going to have him, Wally and Dick be the Cutie Mark Crusaders of the show. If so then I will give the writers prop for making the Teen Titans into that.
Actually, I do hope that opens Jubilee up to showing up in Marvel Rising.
I like Selena's character. It makes me wish her character in the comics was more based on Eartha Kitt's version too.
I just noticed the show is TV-PG and I can't figure out why. I guess the violence? I've heard the PPG reboot uses its Green Lantern constructs because TV-Y7 shows can't show actual punching anymore.
That's a myth.
TV-Y7 (FV) shows in the USA can still show people getting punched, kicked, or much worse nowadays. Keep in mind that television content ratings are weighed differently from broadcaster to broadcaster. Shows like Voltron: Legendary Defender and both Avatar series are consistently rated TV-Y7-FV on Netflix and Nick respectively, yet their darker content could easily fall under Young Justice (the first two seasons)'s TV-PG-V rating on Cartoon Network.
The PPG 2016 reboot using constructs appears as a writing choice to expand their merchandising potential than anything to do with censorship. They still punch and kick people (in the face) on that show without Hit Flash. Same deal with O.K. K.O..
As for Faust's Super Hero Girls reboot...I'm honestly as stumped as you are.

It's a fair assumption, but unlike the MPAA's late introduction of PG-13, the TV Parental Guidelines were introduced in 1997 with all of the current ratings we have today note . I don't think Nick in 2012's Nick changed how they "warned" parents about Korra's content compared to Nick in 2005 with Avatar.
Shows can have different ratings per episode (a consistently rated TV-14 anime suddenly has one TV-MA episode, for instance), but I've rarely (if ever) in my experience seen that happen for kids programming unless it was a tie-in special, movie, or a new series altogether.
x4 Have to agree. Especially seeing how shows like Justice League and Justice League Unlimited have TV-Y7 rating when it aired during its hey day.
Well at least Justice League Unilimited, apparently I learned that JL has a TV PG rating. Point is, that show got away with a lot of shit that isn’t really “age appropriate” . . . during the early 2000s . . . the same period where a certain show about teen heroes couldn’t even use the name “Deathstroke” . . . and to drive that point further that shown (Justice League) have a villain name “Desdshot”.
So yeah agree with you on how the tone down violence have something to do with the age ratings.
Probably? But there are some hiccups.
A) By then, the Terminator as a name was more associated with the time-traveling killer robots from Skynet, so people stuck with calling Slade "Deathstroke".
B) However, during the early to mid 2000's, TV executives were iffy about having a bad guy with the word "Death" in his name, so the showrunners improvised and resorted to calling him Slade, which worked since Slade is already a name to run away from and it's his real name.

Anyway now for the villain foils:
The next two could be my way of injecting members who would most likely turn face latter on and are not really 100% dicks like the others.
And in case said reform happen, replacement members will come in like:
