The Good?
It’s true… Much to the horrors of the Girlfriend, I am a new convert to the Powerpuff Girls…
There! I’ve said it! I used to think they were stupid, childish and… well, plain girly…
But a recent episode featuring the ultra cool Amoeba Boys won me over. I mean, come on… any single cell villains that cannot think of a grander scam than stealing an orange is a winner in my books. ( In my defence, I believe I’ve mentioned the power of examinations to make EVERYTHING on TV look interesting…) (Examinations have even made me watch the Titanic… again…) (which is something else I should not be mentioning…) Too many confessions in one post already…
The Bad
Now… Babyfying lead characters in most successful franchise is normally a good idea to win over the people who like their characters cute and cuddly… They did it with Bugs Bunny, they did it with Mickey Mouse, they even did it with the X Men and the Justice League… But I think we should all draw a line at babyfying ugly one eyed sailors with speech impediment. (hmm… a one eye seaman… interesting… *rubs hands together…) And naming they Pipeye, Pupeye, Peepeye and… again, I am not making this up… POOPEYE…
On the other hand, the clip is pretty nice… They sure don’t make cartoons like these anymore… which is a real pity…
Speaking of the Justice League, we come to
the Plain Ugly
From the pilot of a proposed series…
I am still stunned speechless by their masks…
