Powerpuff Girls 2016

It existed.

A genuine lack of understanding what people loved about the original show.

>>88098043
Are they using some weird CGI? Why does the animation look so weird? It's like...cheap plastic.

They hardly do any of the super hero shit they did from the original series. The new villains are shit and those from the old series are under used, or complete jokes of their real self.

This
They took a superhero cartoon and turned it into TTG without any of the quirkiness.

Even if they made it the most generic magical girl cartoon ever on television, it would still have some semblance of being PPG. These bodysnatchers have stolen the likeness, but none of what made them good or fun.

That is the result of the modern era of computer animation.

Now, when someone wants to animate something, they drop the model into a computer program that simulates a real person drawing it by hand. They bend and pull it like play-doh and the computer animation program promptly draws it like play-doh because it has no basis on what PPG should look for 'feel' like.

It's actually kind of sad when you consider that PPG looked cheap for its time. It was made with lots of characters consisting of very easy-to-draw shapes designed specifically because of the shoestring budget they had to operate on. It's just now, 'shoestring budget' means 'hires at least one person who can operate a computer'.

>Mostly new cast and crew
>Old show given to recent CalArts grads
>Trying to insert current day tween culture and references
>Terrible animation combined with too many animation and art errors for a modern day cartoon
>Getting rid of a Miss Bellum because they think she is a bad woman role or some SJW reason.
>lolsorandom faces and reactions

Just some of the reasons why it sucks.

The real deal isn't much better.

Honestly, the meta-show for nuPPG is probably even worse than the show itself.
Between things like removing Bellum and claiming Horn, Sweet Horn was about transgenders, it reeks of SJW-ravaging.

>>88098111
And to illustrate what that was:
>Understanding how to use limited designs compositionally. Even the what they were designed have thought process to it. They do stylistic 8 shapes when they cross their arms. Their floating pose with the one knee up is very iconic to them.
>Good colors used to make the overall limited animation show look like an illustration. Almost like a children's book, very "Mary Blair"-esque. Rarely were characters just thrown onto a background, the background was built around the characters to make them pop.
>The contrast between three little girls kicking ass in the most violent manner possible. It was funny and entertaining.
>The contrast between three hardcore crime-fighters with amazing powers still having little kid troubles. Being afraid of the dark, unable to fight without your blanky, missing your toy, icky germs, school bullying, being embarrassed at school, etc.
>Three characters with strong dynamics who could bounce off of each other in dialogue and gags. It was basically a game of rock, paper, scissors with them and they practically wrote themselves. Bubbles was too sweet for Buttercup who was too rebellious against leader Blossom who was too impatient for Bubbles constant silliness and sweet ideas. The characters were often so simple to understand you could easily gravitate to whichever was your favorite.
>Seeing these what could be understood as one-note characters being thrown into scenarios that added depth. Bubbles didn't JUST want to be cute. Blossom wants to be a loved leader, not a feared one. Buttercup being too embarrassed to reveal her soft side because what will people say? They EXPECT her to be hardcore at this point.
>Solid supporting characters. The evil cat, the boogeyman, the next door neighbor who wanted to be a villain. None of them could just be boiled down to "quirky". What the fuck did Donny the Unicorn add?

It means it's filler. The toys still sell, but none of the new toys are on the same level as the old toys.

By your logic, Johnny Test must be the best show on Cartoon Network.

Actually the second season was green lighted before the show even started, they really thought this was going to be a sucess, but why?

>>88101003
Because name recognition
Didn't they do the same with TTG?

>>88100906
We know this was made to be cash grab, but when we can know if they toys are selling, because if this thing sell toys then the crapshow could go on for 5 seasons

>>88101111
I don't think PPG toys ever stopped selling. They were selling just as good when the movie came out as when nuPPG was first announced.

basically cartoon network didn't want a show so much as new commercials for new ppg merch

what really angered me about removing Miss Bellum was that she was the personification of the old statement "i could do my boss's job better then they could."

There agenda was to strong. Half the episodes were shameless framed around modern "issues" and they tried using the show as a teaching tool about them.
Not the smartest move since they didn't understand that half of those "issues" are loaded guns that make people unhappy no matter how you address it.
TTG at least ribs at life in general rather then trying to teach some broken lesson in the most boring way possible.

Its less like play-doh and more like they make paper dolls which they move around, instead of drawing the gestures and movements. Looks cheap regardless.

>>88100183
It's not like the original looked any better either.

>>88109746
It did look better since it had competent directors and supervisors that actually did their jobs properly.

Don't even try the nostalgia argument, I literally just finished watching the first few episodes of season 1 for the first time.

>>88109785
Nah, it always looked like shit. And that's what's so sad about NuPuffs-- the bar was so offensively LOW, and they still couldn't even clear it.

>>88100859

Its much simpler than that. Original PPG used to be like golden era Simpsons, only the gags and jokes were better hidden behind a superhero theme. Why PPG was successful was pretty much the same reason why Dexter's Lab was successful. It was inventive, it was actually funny without using some stupid fucking internet memes, and the general themes of each episode circled around something that kids thought to be cool, like mechas, giant monsters, superheroes etc. And there was a generally better mixup of episodes, from outright joke episodes to new "villain of the week" episode, to occasional weird and even little bit scary episodes.

For a good example, an episode where its a rainy day and the girls have nothing to do, and its still a million times more interesting episode than anything the reboot shat out:

Pretty much this. Like a lot of nostalgic cash-grabs, PPG'16 assumed it could ride on the name alone. That reliance on "brand value", however, came at the expense of making a show that stayed true to the original's spirit.

Take the Miss Bellum situation. In the original show, she was one of the few non-PPG female characters, a positive influence on the PPG themselves, and a well-written character in her own right. She was a character who was essential to the show, whose absence would've made the show that much worse. But apparently her being drawn with an hourglass figure is all the new PPG team saw in her, because they straight-up WROTE HER OUT OF THE SHOW as soon as they could.

That alone was enough to make me watch PPG - the original series, that is.

>>88110094

Johnny Test was shit because it was generic bullshit shovelled onto an unwitting populace and rerun at TTG levels for months and months despite no one liking it. It had shoddy animation, shitty storylines, terrible voice acting, and everything else you'd find in an otherwise forgettable show. If it had come and gone like CN Real, nobody would have even cared about it.

>>88099777
>It's just now, 'shoestring budget' means 'hires at least one person who can operate a computer'.
PPG 2016 is animated in South Korea by Sunmin Image Pictures, and the credits suggest there is much more staff than what should be necessary (and who knows how many people were employed in Korea).

creativity is dead

>>88110313

No, it's not. It's just taken a backseat to business concerns. TV and movie studios don't want to take huge risks any more - especially not with billions of dollars at stake in a given fiscal year - so they fall back on nostalgia and "formula" output to make their money. That approach works well for some companies (hi, Marvel Studios!), but it isn't a guarantee of success (hi, studio that greenlit and released the RoboCop remake!).

Incidentally, this is why mid-range movies are slowly disappearing from the Hollywood landscape - studios either want big returns on small investments (e.g., Deadpool) or bigger returns on big investments (e.g., Civil War).

>>88110370
Business is always a concern due to the cost of producing movies and television shows.

One of the reasons why you see so many weird, varied and niche things being made in Japan is because they are so effective at business. In the West that's always demonized because this is art and we can't have commerce polluting it.

>>88110697

It's not so much the idea of "commerce polluting art" that people object to, so much as it is the idea of "commerce controlling what kind of art gets made and by whom it gets made". Think of the PPG reboot: Most people probably wouldn't have complained about the show before it had even aired if the show's creator had been involved. But CN decided "fuck you, we can do this on our own" was the right thing to do because it wanted nostalgiabux, and now it has a critical (and possibly financial) bomb on its hands for at least one more season.

>>88110769
Commerce is behind the wheel in Japan too. They are just much better at driving.

PPG did feature cuteness and comedy, but it was still a superhero action show and the girls would become bad ass warriors when needed. The new ones lack any superhero edge.

Probably him.

Cartoon Network only rebooted PPG because they need something to fall back on if Warner Bros decides to stop making TTG.

But they don't have any understanding of why people like TTG.

Just imagine how mad will the LGBT community get if HIM made more appearances!

>>88111699
So they're no using Him because they think he's problematic? He appears in the Tiara episode but for like 1min, i thought the lgbt comunity at least the adult one love Him, my gay friends love Him

>>88111674
I thought CN rebooted PPG because they were the only network that didn't have at least one cartoon on their station with a girl as their main protagonist? At the time Nickelodeon had Ladybug + all their live action shit. Disney at least had Star VS. CN didn't even meet the demographic requirement of "at least one".

Combined with competition from streaming services, TV, video gaming, and all the other various distractions and minutae of modern living, theaters aren't going to want movies that won't make them money. That's why studios keep trying to make new franchise tentpoles (hi, Mummy remake!), expand blockbusters out of the summer window (hi, Doctor Strange!), and rely on nostalgia or franchise recognition to ensure at least some form of income, if not profit.

>>88107564
>THIS. Why are cartoons so obsessed with including millenial shit? It's fucking annoying and cringe worthy.

>expand blockbusters out of the summer window

>>88115031
Relying on nostalgia is stupid because it's condescending to fans of the franchise they're rebooting, and also some franchises are based on dated concepts that do not work 30 years later.

The way to stop nostalgia pandering and reboots is to clip copyright terms at 35 years. That way shit from the 80s or whatever is PD now and they'd be forced to make new franchises instead of shit like Feminist Ghostbusters.

American millennial scum. And I say that as someone in his 20s.

I go to a very famous, very prestigious university. I'm theoretically supposed to be around the best and the brightest, right?

And yet the shit people say is beyond belief. It's not even that they're wrong, people are wrong all the time and it's generally not infuriating.

But it's that there's not a shred of self-awareness in what they say. I can even understand them not being open to different opinions because, leaving memes about SJWs aside, that's exactly what conservatives are like too - "I'm right and I know it". But it's more than that, it's an aura of omnipresent arrogance and smugness, always projecting the feeling of "I'm better than you on every conceivable level due to my stances, and I refuse to acknowledge that other people might have reasons for thinking the way they do". It's borderline solipsistic. And as an actual liberal and an actual progressive, I hate them much more than /pol/ does because they're doing their level best to discredit everything I believe in and turn ideas that people have died for into a joke.

And you see this with the media those people produce - it's smug, it panders to them, the characters are mouthpieces for their ideas even when it makes no sense given the setting or the target demographic (elementary school kids don't give a shit about feminism, they want cool/cute/funny stuff).

PPG 2016 failed because these people don't realize you can't create media based on your biases and expect general audiences to like it. Placing "your message" ahead of competent characterization, a decent story, memorable villains, etc. is a sure way to get a shit show, and inundating it with contemporary references is a sure way to make sure everyone will cringe 5 years from now if they watch it.

PPG was successful in part because it was timeless - there were references to everything, from Rocky and Bullwinkle to the Beatles, not just turn of the millennium stuff.

God, why can't the activists today be like the activists in the 60s?

You had all sorts of groups and movements, from free love Age of Aquarius hippies to mainstream anti-war protestors to peaceful civil rights activists to radical armed guerillas to weird sci-fi cults. Not all of it was good but at least there was intellectual diversity, most of the movements were very inclusive regardless of who you are, and you could find a niche for yourself somewhere, no matter what you believed in.

Now it's just "I'll share this Facebook post making fun of [x figure who disagrees with me even tangentially] and end with an unfunny hashtag". I can't imagine this slacktivist generation ever pulling a Baader-Meinhof or a Weather Underground, everyone just wants to sit on their asses and mock the opposition.

I honestly respect BLM because at least they're out there fighting for what they believe in and not posting biased infographics on Facebook and pretending they're doing actual work.

>>88124409
None of the groups you mentioned achieved more things (good or bad) than modern activists.

>>88124462
I didn't say anything about outcomes (though that's debatable), but about the intellectual openness and diversity of activism in years past.

Right now it's idiotically monolithic, and half the time activists are engaged in internecine conflicts because group a decided group b isn't doing it "the right way" (the whole "how to be a good ally" thing).

Aside from 'solipsism', and potentially 'infuriating', nothing else is outside of everyday vocabulary.

And I disagree with short and to the point, there's multiple posts by other anons ITT that are as long or longer

Not my fault you get triggered by someone trying to present a coherent (not even particularly impressive) argument

Thank you. This was what I was waiting for.
People today don't understand "subtlety", they grew up on the Internet telling them everything there is to know, everyone and everything is possible to talk to and know about their everyday life compared to back in the 90s and before, and now, everything is liked when "hurr durr I know what you know, we relate! :D" when in the past you DIDN'T know everything and had to ask your momma what x was or daddy what y is. Social media was been a breakthrough in information and connection, but was the biggest mistake when it comes to how humanity handles it, it grew too fast and wasn't stable enough for people to utilize properly.

Craig McCracken seems fully onboard with social commentary, and he definitely married someone who is. Go watch My Little Pony or Wander Over Yonder if you want to see what they've done with social commentary since. The feminism is still there in full force.

Reading comphreension nigga.

>>88129203
"Turned into" implies the old one was not a social commentary. Old one thankfully didn't have internet memes and was only boring maybe in seasons 5, 6, and the movie.

>>88098043
Craig wasn't involved. And hell, if he still worked at CN, he probably would've prevented it from even happening, as he believes PPG ran its course.

This stagnation of ideas that you're talking about isn't something that we can fix. It's the indefinite state of the world from the internet onward. This isn't something we have to try to avoid like a pothole or an iceberg-- this is perpetual reality, intellectual Ouroboros. This is the apocalypse and it isn't glamorous or entertaining, it's a goddamned rerun. Forever.

The branching streams of media and content created by the internet fostered an infinite number of totally unique worldviews, and, paradoxically exposed the whole lot of us as being totally unremarkable. Everyone is always right all of the time. Their universes begin at their eyes and end at their navels. Mine, yours, every anon here, everyone you love and everyone you hate. Welcome to Armageddon. It's probably a lot more boring than you were hoping.

In this capacity, MGS2 was my favorite. It was a lot less about the silly soap opera of Metal Gear and a lot more about what Metal Gear means as a video game and what video games mean as a medium and what media means as a component in culture and what culture means to humanity. Shit had me rolling in panic attacks as a 7 year old.

I have to disagree here, nost nip porn starlets sound awful.
they're always howling like a cat being beaten to death with another cat, the generic "oh yeah" crap is bad but at least it's a noise thats somewhat comparable that a human should make.

Is it confirmed that it a full blown Season 2 or are they pulling an Uncle Grandpa/Steven Universe and cutting the current season in half and saying said second half is a new season?

Its not just the high pitched voice, its also the squealing and crying, and looking like they're definitely not liking it. I know not all Japanese porn is like that but that seems like the most common variant.

Yes, but those themes were secondary to everything else. Not to mention they werent as one-sided in every single social commentary issue, unlike the new show which is full on SJW show. The old show predicted the future by making fun of the victim culture:

https://youtu.be/7lLiVHiNRIE

>>88105135
This is probably bait but

If its just a show about little girls fighting, why not just make a new show that doesnt have any connection to ppg?

If its that simplistic, it should be really easy to create an entirely new show with a premise that is so simple of "little girls fighting crime"

There are people in the world that actually think like you

The writers probably had the intention of aiming that at younger kids, but their memes are so outdated, I'm not sure how they'd even get any of the references.
