The Powerpuff Girls (2016–2023)
This reboot is a god damn Frankenstein

Animation is completely out of style. Villains are almost gone, no violence, no crime fighting, no superheroing. You are just raping the ideas of Mr. McCracken here parodying 'sugar, spice and everything nice' bit whenever it is possible, copletely changing personalities, using the ideas from old episodes and developing it ridiculously (Pet Feud - Cheep Thrills, Rainy Day - The Powerpuff Girls' Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever etc.). Sending Ms. Bellum on a 1000 day vacation is such a stupid way to get rid of a cool character. Sending 5 year olds to school because of their kindergarten being destroyed and a giant hamster occupying it is even worse especially since you told the story in 10 secs. Removing Ms. Keane's boobs but letting girls twerk with a giant panda, really? And what's with Mayor and pickles, is it supposed to be funny?

The original show has always been about breaking social standarts and it is feministic from the beginning bringing this massage as a subtext. But eventually you think that modern audience is too dumb to understand it so you need to throw YOUR ideas in our face (Once Upon a Townsville etc.).

Yes, there is the whole new generation of kids and there are also good modern ORIGINAL shows carring the ideas of PC culture and playing with the Internet, memes, pop culture (Steven Universe, The Amazing World of Gumball etc.) etc.

The Powerpuff Girls is a parody for 60's super hero cartoons. It is a very nice early 00's show with its own style and unique characters. Why the hell would you ruine it for old fans creating a mediocre product for new audience? Money. Selling all the bright toys, obviously.

Is there something good? I don't mind Bubbles's hair bands and kinda like the rock'n'roll vibe in Buttercup, thanks. But excuse yourself for taking a nice old cartoon and putting it upside down. You want to promote new ideas in new society? Then come up with new characters and plots youself.
