>Another reboot for PPG is being made this time by Craig McCracken.>It will be story driven.>Tom Kane suffered a stroke that forced him to retire from acting before his death. He was not going to reprise his role as Professor Utonium or Him.Do you guys think it will be good? It can't be worse than the 2016 reboot. It sucks we lost Tom Kane.
>>153958954>It can't be worse than the 2016 reboot.
>>153958954>Attempting to reboot PPG>AgainAbsolute retards
>>153958973>>153958973The 2016 reboot didn't involve Craig or the original PPG voices. I have faith it will be better this time.
>>153958954so you're telling me so far the three versions are called the same, so we goot PPG, PPG(2016) and now PPG(20XX), you could thought it will be different the third time
>>153958954>story loreshitZzzzzzzzz
>>153958954What if they rebooted Powerpuff Girls Z?
>>153958987>I have faith it will be better this time.well yeah, it not a high bar being better than 2016 reboot
>>153958996The original and 2016 series already did episodic stories. I don't mind Craig wanting to do something new with PPG.
As long as they keep the violence, it could do alright
>Somehow Bliss returned
>>153958971Craig being involved gives me hope it won't be a complete disaster. He is certainly more competent than the crew who worked on the 2016 reboot.
>>153959120I don't think Craig will use anything from the 2016 reboot like Bliss.

>>153958987>I have faith it will be better this time
>>153959188Actually what if they aged up the girls for this reboot, as some sorta continuation
Kid cosmic was really good, so i have faith in Craig, I really thought I'd go generic capeshit, but it baited the idea and went back to being diner comfy and I really respected that, pure kino
I have no idea why people are doomposting over this. Craig McCracken has a generally good track record. If anything he's probably coming back to do this BECAUSE the last show fucked up so hard.
>>153958954It better be good this time and bring back Ms Bellum too
>>153958954>Old news from 2 years ago is there uh new details about the production or is that like something
>>153959048Sex
>the "recent reboot" was 10 years agoAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>153960239
I'll watch it if they bring back Bellum and not nerf her tits and ass. Infact I hope they enhance them.
>>153958954I hope it's not made for preschoolers. It would be cool to aim for the 8-11 age range like the original series.
>>153959322Kid Cosmic was good. It needed more room to breathe with slice of life episodes. I don't mind a story driven PPG, but I hope they are able to deviate from the main arc occasionally to have purely fun episodes. The villain of the week format was good for that in the original series.
>>153958954Call me when Paul Rudish is involved, he was the secret sauce.
>>153958954so are we gettingLOOOOOOOOORRRREEEEE
>>153959322Kid Cosmic had good characters but the story was messy.
>>153960387Shut up.
>>153959134I don't know, he's also the same guy who told the Japanese to do whatever they wanted in 2006.
>>153958973Look man, Craig wants to work, and no one's buying his originals.
>>153960387PPG already had some lore and continuity, it just wasn't very consistent.That's how many old shows worked.
>>153960477And he’s based for that
>>153959188why do they look like prostitutes?
>>153960477They should do this with Adventure Time. Give me an Adventure Time anime.
I hope this new reboot doesn't lead to another mass shooting.
>>153960631it's the eyes man, it's always the eyes
>>153960477PPGZ was not bad.
>>153962506yes it was.
>>153958954*Sigh* so no more original Cartoon Network IPs ? that's really it ? I don't see a reason for another reason when it's been almost 30 years since the show launched.CN needs to let Powerpuff Girls rest.I suppose Steven Universe was really the last actual successful CN show
>>153959120>>153959163I'm sure they'll throw in some derogatory reference to Bliss as a rightful bashing on the 2016 cartoon.
>>153961058cartoon autists really see the most basic feminine features and immediately see them as sexual
>>153962589Craig mentioned that execs don't want new ideas. They think it is too risky, and prefer to use properties that are proven to be successful.
>>153962589PPG has history of being the most milked CN franchise. Craig left so we got season 5 and 6 under Savino, PPG Z, a 2009 anniversary special, a 2014 cgi special, 2016 reboot, and this upcoming reboot. You can also count that canceled CW PPG show.
>>153958954It's already dead.
Blossomanon here, I've been tracking this thing since it was announced and not a singular peep has been heard about it since this, it's likely dead anons...we at least have some shitty looking books releasing in August though.
>>153962680Don't forget it's the only Cartoon Cartoon to have received a theatrical movie.
>tell a bigger and longer storyI don't want another MUH EPIC STORYLINE DEEPEST LORE shitI want episodic shenanigansyou know, like the original
>>153963309also, serialized PPG is genuinely a godawful idea and I don't know what the hell Craig's thinking with it
>>153963653You already have episodic content in the original, reboot, and comics. Let Craig try something new.
>>153958954>>It will be story driven.DOA
>>153960652>tranny time but tranime
>>153958954>Another PPG reboot because Craig has no balls to stand up to executives. >Most likely won't have Ton Kane. What's the point? People aren't gonna watch it and people will complain about it like all the other reboots. >>153959048They should, Westerners would eat this up. My main issue is if Craig still even has that pizazz he had back in the 90s and 2000s, barely anyone watched his Netflix show and with everyone not watching TV these days how are they gonna even turn a profit? Also the concept isn't that good and honestly feels like a Rugrats reboot situation where the original people who were brought back did not care at all and just wanted a paycheck. Maybe I'm wrong and it gets maybe 2 seasons and a special and online shorts but I dunno. Being a Western animation fan is a humiliation ritual at this point.
>>153964736>Craig has no balls to stand up to executivesHow do you think the industry works, anon?
>>153958954>Tom Kane suffered a stroke that forced him to retire from acting before his death. >He was not going to reprise his role as Professor Utonium or Him.Is that due to the stroke?
>>153958954good, make them sexy this time.
>>153965158strokes fuck people up. The language "forced him to retire from acting" indicates that he was no longer able to do it. He may have lost the ability to speak clearly. He was also in his 70s. Even without the stroke, I don't think we could have expected the same sort of performance that we were used to.
>>153958954anything but making new ip
>>153965350Oh right, I thought he wouldn't be able to do the role because he died.
>>153960477Like he even had a choice.
>>153959396Nope, dead in dah water
>>153965374Craig's reboot was announced three years ago, but Tom Kane's stroke happened before it. His death this month just guarantees we will never hear his voice again.
>>153965350what caused him the stroke? too much sugar, smoke, drinks, drugs?
>>153965158Strokes damage your brain, anon. Tom Kane's daughter said he struggled to speak and read after it happened.
>>153965359Blame corpos for refusing to take risks. Craig mentioned he pitched multiple shows to Netflix before they accepted Kid Cosmic.
>>153965374That does put a final damper on things, but I was responding to the fact that they weren't planning on having him reprise his role even before his death.>>153965407>we will never hear his voice againAt least he left a legacy
>>153964093>but CHADnime Yes, I still am not interested in it. Adventure time had enough content.
>>153965418I don't think that information was made available (because why would it), but while lifestyle choices can increase your risk of having a stroke, they also sometimes just happen. It's kind of like cancer; there are certain things that will increase the likelihood that you'll get it, but some people do all the "right" things and still end up getting it.
>>153960631Even if it was imagined they did look like that in the future.
>>153958954What happened with the comics from Dynamite?
>>153963706coming back to say one more thing sex with Momoko Akatsutsumi/Hyper Blossom, that is all.
>>153965690they're likely dead/on indefinite hiatus, not gonna cry about it though, these comics kinda fuckin sucked, who's bright idea was it to get a company who's prior work included Grumpy Cat comics to work on Powerpuff stuff
>>153965690>>153965714I appreciate the comics for giving crumbs of Professor Utonium and Sedusa together.
>>153965714someone who for some reason READ said Grumpy Cat comics here, they were somehow an enjoyable read and better than the Powerpuff comics the company later did, imagine getting BTFO by fucking GRUMPY CAT, plus they had a crossover with another franchise that actually fucking made sense to crossover with (Garfield), seriously who the fuck buying Powerpuff comics cares about Thundercats in the current age, do people even actually LIKE Thundercats or is it an IP that only exists because of weird bald white men who scream about whatever the hell a woke is online
>>153965763decided to track down a copy on a site after reading this post out of sheer curiosity and honestly, yeah it's surprisingly not bad
>>153965763the fact they merchandised Grumpy Cat so fucking hard back in the day still feels genuinely so weird to me
>>153965359This >>153965548How many shows has Faust pitched and even worked on that got shut down and ended in the tax writeoff limbo since her last outing?>Medusa - dead (https://sonypicturesanimation.fandom.com/wiki/Medusa)>Toil & Trouble - dead (https://old.reddit.com/r/animation/comments/yiujcy/lauren_fausts_toil_trouble_leak/)And god knows how many other pitches that we've never heard of. He's definitely not the one to blame for the corpo TV fucks asking for remake/reboot slop.
>>153966694I feel bad for Lauren.
>>153965754I like how it wasnt even a ruse and Sedusa genuinely wanted to hang out and give him a kiss
>>153958973I'm glad Ed, Edd n Eddy's legacy isn't stained like PPG's.
imagine slicing the throat of the blossompedo
>>153966980get new material.
>>153959322>Kid cosmic was really good
>>153966322the fact they're STILL doing it is genuinely disrespectful as fuck, why the hell are you making slot machines out of a dead cat
>>153965754>>153966912I didn't know they interacted in the comic. Can someone please post the pages.
>>153960477Is that what he actually wanted to do, or was it required for the license deal to be done?He backhandedly said he hated it later by saying he's sure it'd do well "in its home market" or however he put it.
>>153959337>Craig McCracken has a generally good track record.Because the things people loved about PPG were all Genndy Tartakovsky's ideas. Watch a Genndy directed episode and a Craig directed episode side by side and you'll see.
>>153967009looked this shit up for myself and WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT JOKING
>>153967088y'know what, no, this is a rabbithole worth covering, fuck PPG, this is a stealth Grumpy Cat deepdive thread, this shit is weird.
>>153967125Make your own thread.
>>153967138the conversation here was already dogshit let me have this
>>153965763Honestly, Grumpy Cat as a concept of just a grumpy cat in short form comics doesn't seem so bad. It's just the weird marketing that only utilized the original meme. People love cats in comics, they just never fully commit to making new stuff with them.
>>153966856>Has a kid that could literally be posting on 4chan by now. Wouldn't be the first 10 year old to do so... Moot was already shitposting on SA by that age, soon to be the maker of this shithole.>Always wanted to make cartoons for children to grow up with.>Is allowed to make fuck all for all of her own child's childhood.I do wonder if she turns out to go all /a/ or whether Craig and Faust "shield" her from the absurdly obvious fate for the kid who must be aware of just how much these folks love drawing and 2D animation but anything worth seeing doesn't even know about the existence of smartphones and other basic facts of her own life.
>>153966998it is new now imagine torturing the blossompedo ala cartel
How will they be ruined?I really hope Craig ignores their season 5 designs
>>153967395you bore me, like c'mon, I can think of more creative shit in my sleeplocking me in a room, covering me in honey, and smashing down a fire ant farm to let them loose, that's more creative than some stupidass cartel shit.
>>153958954>>It will be story driven.Raising red flags here>>153959337>I have no idea why people are doomposting over this.Because >>It will be story driven.
>>153959134Buttercup is going to be explicitly Latino for some reason. Screencap this.I feel even more strongly about this because everyone will say: "Why not just make it Bubbles since she already inexplicably speaks Spanish?" and the answer will be: "Because."
>>153958954>story drivenAw shit, here comes the aged up PPG and RRB who realize they're slowly losing their powers due tot he chemical X dissipating from their bodies slowly overtime and they need to integrate into a normal life or find an alternative
>>153965754Too bad it's not canon.
>>153967638Boomer will be Bubble's gay friendButch will realize his aggressiveness is just a cover for his internal femininity and will come out as transBrick will be black and will date Blossom, who is also black
It's still there.https://www.rowdyruff.net/index1_frames.htm
hope the PPG look like teens and is a continuation. A reboot show where they look the same would flop
>>153958954No particular feelings until I see character designs.Hopefully Professor Utonium is recast.
>>153958954
>>153969097That's generally too smart for modern industry. Nah, its gonna be 3 seasons dealing with shitty romance, very few episodes where all 3 girls are in it at the same time, very few of the classic villains where most of which were probably redeemed, and somehow still add a 4th power puff girl who's brown.
>>153971158>3 seasons dealing with shitty romanceSay what you want about McCracken, but he typically doesn't focus on romantic relationships in his shows. If it's even present, it's usually with side characters for like 1 episode or something.
>>153958954Only thing I'm concerned about is they'd BETTER bring back the Powerpunk Girls. Apparently they were supposed in be in the original TV series but weren't because of the production of the movie. Especially if they're gonna be telling bigger and longer stories the Powerpunk Girls and their universe could be explored a lot! And also answer so many questions about who all the Powerpunk Girls counterparts would be. Who would be the good Rowdyruff Boys counterpart? Would HIM's good counterpart be called HER and be based on an angel instead of the devil? What would Bunny's evil counterpart have been like? All that stuff.
>>153972593eh. aren't the powerpunk girls basically just like the rowdyruff boys but female and more cruel but not as dumb?
>>153958987What has Craig even done in the interim?
>>153973552He did Wander Over Yonder and Kid Cosmic.
>>153972593We sorta got a story structure for a powerpunk special / movie..Btw, since original PPG was just a superhero parody ala The tick, PPGZ was a silly magical girl take on it, and PPG 2016 was just SUCKED.Why don't they try to reboot the PPG but as a serious melodramatic yet still pulpy show ALA Saint Seiya?
>>153972593Him SHOULD NOT have a good counterpart, he is a demon and can exists everywhere at once.Someone suggested that his counterpart in that universe still evil but more like a fallen angel and female and dresses like a Terazuka Japanese theater.
>>153972779Berserk is supposed to be the stupid one oddly enough.
Cursednposting
>>153973762were they good?
>>153974399Wait, really? Has that actually ever been officially stated anywhere or is that just something fans made up and the fandom just ran with it? https://powerpuffgirls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Powerpunk_GirlsI don't know how reliable the Powerpuff Girls fandom wiki is but it doesn't say anything about Berserk being stupid. In fact it says "The only notable trait she shares with her counterpart is her intelligence. However, unlike Blossom, Berserk uses her intelligence for evil instead of good."And then on Brat's page it says "Brat is dimwitted, just like Bubbles and Boomer" meaning Berserk is the smart one and Brat is the dumb one. Not sure how reliable the wiki is but yeah.
>>153967174>to go all /a/Lauren was inspired by /a/ stuff for some of her cartoons.
>>153975037no one can really be sure because the powerpunk girls weren't around long enough to know much of their personalities. their whole character was basically being the powerpuff girls but mean and evil
>>153958954Just make them teenagers like he wanted to do in the 90s.
>>153960477>>153962562Nah you're a faggot with cute aggression
bump
>>153958954Why does every show have to have some multi-season arc now? Why can’t a show just take a basic premise and be episodic anymore?
>>153970292In a weird way, I'm glad it is... It's like a peek into my childhood.>tfw EdZone is dead last I checked>tfw Conker's Crib stopped updating in 2013>tfw the many Invader Zim fansites I frequented are kill tooI miss it, I miss it so much, I wouldn't be the man I am today without those sites.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cPWFCUXd0EI wish the generation could've had the experience I did, rather than all this brainrot bullshit, and being bombarded with memes and stuff so bad their attention spans are awful.
>>153960477Momoko's panties
>>153958954God, please let us get out of reboot hell. I don't care if it's by hellfire or a biblical flood. I'm convinced we all died in 2016 and that's why every year after it was just 2016 again
>>153977890We all died when the LHC fired up for the first time and whenever they use it we the universe ends and our souls shift to another universe with minor differences to the last one.
>>153970652> Hopefully Professor Utonium is recastAre you suggesting that he might not be? Kind of hard to use the original actor for a couple reasons…
>>153977890>>153977989The world ended in 2012. The Mayans were right. We all died and we’re in hell.
>>153977890>>153978116nah y'all be too young. 2001 is when we all died. bush did 9/11 and then the entire fucking world went crazy. then the world went crazy again in 2012 2016 and of course most recently 2020 but we died in 2001
>>153978963Too young? Hah!For me, the world ended when the ol' wall fell down back in 89! Now we have all these homosexuals, metrosexuals, lumbersexuals, and the worst of them all, asexuals!
>>153974701Yeah, they were.
>>153979124>Now we have all these homosexuals, metrosexuals, lumbersexuals, and the worst of them all, asexuals!Oh that shit ain't nothin' compared to the new shit. MAPS. Short for Minor Attracted Persons. Basically the same as a pedophile but trying to integrate as a normal part of LGBT+. Soon they'll be teaching children in school about MAPS just like they are with transgenders.
>>153974701Did you just live under a rock while Wander was airing? By the time Dominator was on screen the show was FOTM for a good long while after it ended. Kid Cosmic has more of a niche following, but most people seemed to like it even if it didn't reach the same highs as all his previous works
Would it be a REBOOT or a SEQUEL?These days people often use reboot, when they want to mean renewal or something of the sort.
>>1539789632001 was only important to Americans, around 2007 was the biggest shift towards shit on a global scale in a long time, it was a bigger status quo change than COVID
>>153979406Sequel, really
