I think it’s real. The news that Mojo Jojo and his son would be humans is so recent that a fake would’ve had to start writing this as soon as that was made public.

The script also has a functional grasp of character arc and budgetary concern. And while I don’t know anything about the leaker, part of me suspects someone with a vendetta would be far harsher to aspects like Buttercup being a lesbian over the relative sympathy she gets (not that this is a feminist work, seeing how many excuses it makes for Drake after treating all the women in his life like garbage.)

Copies of the leaked script are apparently being taken down for copyright reasons, which seems to confirm it's real.

So that was the first draft. And I really hope I get to see that pilot one day.

[up] Worse still, they completely forget that he legit didn't want to make superheroines in the series proper, he wanted to make the perfect little girls to have daughters that could give him a bright spot in the utter hellhole of a place Townsville was when criminals ran free and did as they wanted.

Here he's basically In Name Only and shares more in common with Dick Hardly who perfectly matches the descriptions done here

I don't remember the script saying Mojo Jojo was human, given the Harambe reference it wouldn't make sense for him to be human.

Camp is deliberately bad taste. This is more cringe, trying too hard to be relevant.

Camp though can be awesome when done right. This just seems edgy.

It was too campy? I don't think so. That leaked script looked it was trying way too hard to be edgy and "adult".

I know that it's being rewritten for being too campy and, IIRC, "not real enough".

That means that what's going to be released may be EVEN WORSE. I'm all in. I love this kind of awful crap; "so bad it's good" media is one of my pleasures.

I have not seen the leaks. On the one hand I'm morbidly curious, on the other I don't want to see this formerly-great franchise get another defilement. From what I could gather Prof. Utonium is now evil and all the girls do is talk about sex. And Mojo Jojo is a mutated monkey human or something.

I'm not sure if the Mayor is mentioned at all, but considering the general tone he's either genuinely mentally impaired or dead.

I'm confused if Mojo is human. How does the creation of the ppwerpuff girls work?

Hes their cause ?

I think the old Mayor is mentioned once in a single scene and that’s it.

[up]Script Mojo was Utonium’s lab assistant.

The Mayor got lucky given that pretty much all the male figures (and most of the female ones for that matter) come off really poorly with the exception of Blossom's textbook safe boyfriend who we barely see. Jojo is secretly evil, the Professor is openly evil and the worst example of a Stage Mom, Buttercup is portrayed...poorly, and even Ms. Bellum is little more than an apologist for the Professor.

Wait, so there's Ms. Bellum but no Mayor? How does that even work?

It’s also disheartening how the script basically attributes all the villain attacks on Townsville to the PPG’s presence. Jojo only starts going into supervillainy when he learns the Girls are back, and there are rumors that it’d be revealed that Drake was creating monsters for the girls to fight.note  And when the Girls quit, all the supervillain attacks stopped and the city was safe for years. This wasn’t the case in the original show, which made it clear Townsville was a villain hive before the Girls arrived and would become one again if they didn’t protect the city.

Making the Professor a control freak seems a violation of the original premise. He made the girls, but he never tried to control them outside of the bounds of being a parent (in unique circumstances, or course). Every other iteration has them choosing to be heroes themselves.

I wanna see the gritty retool version of Fuzzy Lumpkins or the Amoeba Boys.

In fact I see Fuzzy gets exactly one (1) name drop in the script. If they're going for a more "realistic" setting to the point that Mojo is no longer a monkey, I wonder how the hell are they supposed to handwave his existence.

I wanna know just how they'd explain HIM, considering he's flat-out supposed to be Satan.

And maybe the Gangreen Gang is literally gangrenous or something.

Him is already edgy enough that I see them keeping him around.

It doesn't have to make sense as long as there's EDGE.
