Saw an ad for the new PPG that had more clips. It looks like Mojo has the same voice actor. Out of the changes to the three girls, Bubbles will be the hardest to adjust to because really no one is gonna sound anything like the voice Tara Strong used and they didn't even try to match it.

Anyone catch Bunnicula? It's ok, but the weird thing is that it has Sean Astin as the cat and Chris Kattan as the title character who just speaks gibberish.

Yeah, it's okay. It has a weird disparity between how well it's drawn and how cheaply it's animated.

You think if the app game "sold" well enough that Lakewood Turbo/OK KO(?) would get its own real show eventually? At least Ash's OG voice is still around.

A saw a commercial for that and I guess they gave this new version of the girls some new power where they make energy constructs? You can kind of see it for a second in the video.

Eventually, the girls step up to the plate and do a combination attack to become a flaming hot pussy(cat) that rubs up against the villain until he explodes and shrinks down to a tiny, tiny size. At which point the male superheroes all start cross-dressing for reasons I can't recall.

It's neat, but I do miss a little the geometric simplicity of the old one. Also that theme's twice as long as the original with like ten times as many words. Also they're in middle school now? Weird.

To be fair the original theme had a long version and the version they're probably gonna actually play before the new show will be lucky if it's 30 seconds Also I do admit that it's very odd to me that they made Professor Utonium look exactly the same except they rounded him out a tiny bit, thus sort of negating why you'd bother keeping him exactly the same.

The character designs all look the same to me, just with thinner outlines and I guess that's enough to make it look like Adventure Time to some people? That sounds rude but I don't know how to rephrase it to not sound rude, so please read it with a quiet, unsure tone instead of an aggressive bitter one.

The thing with Utonium's design was was that he was really, really square. Like the concept of his design was to make a guy made up of sharp angles. I was just saying it's odd that they made him look almost exactly the same but rounded some of the angles because  Like if you want to keep a character's design, why change the most interesting quality of it? I'm not saying it's a big deal or even really a deal, it's just odd.

So it was meant to be in contrast to the girls, who are entirely round? That makes sense. I think I prefer the new look, the old one seems kind of dated (yeah, Yeah, retro, I know) and overly-harsh, but I get that it would also give the show a more unique look compared to everything else.

Fantastic was to lampshade and make canon that the Powerpuff Girls don't have fingers even though the rest of the children did. I wonder if that was done purely for budgeting reasons on the animation.

That episode was straight up bonkers That theme song and intro are really good, even though I don't like the overall designs. I don't think comparing it to Adventure Time is fair though. AT has a very distinct style. Just because it doesn't have the thick outlines doesn't make it "look like adventure time"

Professor Utonium's angles are supposed to contrast with the fact that the Powerpuff Girls are all circles. There's a lot of really nice stylistic choices involved with the Powerpuff Girls, and of course trying to rejigger things for a reboot is going to throw some of those stylistic things out of wack, but it's a bit of a shame. I dug up the original Powerpuff Girl short, and it's interesting how much things changed and yet stayed the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdUgSKHN6TA kidcoelacanth posted:Not sure where you're getting middle school from A hall full of half-lockers just screams middle school to me, I dunno.

In retrospect a lot of the GRRRL POWER stuff from cartoons of that era is just as cringeworthy as the other end of the spectrum. It was very much of that time in the late-90s when girls were allowed if not encouraged to like boy stuff like sports but boys were still sissies if they liked girl stuff. Macaluso posted:That episode was straight up bonkers The show got really batshit as it went on, like when they tried to make a new sister and wound up making a mentally disabled PPG who exploded because her molecular structure was unstable. In retrospect the episode Collect Her is brilliant because even when the internet was still young it did a spot-on job satirizing the kinds of superfans that would eventually become weeaboos, Bronies, Gemtlemen, et al. https://vimeo.com/115745224

The 90s were the time of the rise of collectors. People started thinking that comics and action figures were great as investments, which was where the whole "mint in box" thing came about. Then the whole thing collapsed when people realized that the comics of the 90s were too mass-produced and well-preserved for the issues to become rare collector's items like the old comics from the 50s became.
