The Powerpuff Girls

The three Girls have been cast in the upcoming CW series.

I really hope this doesn't get off the ground, tbh

I don't know. It sounds so bad it's fascinating. I might watch an episode out of morbid curiosity.

I'll check out the pilot, and if it turns out to be good I'll stay tuned but I still think this doesn't need to exist in the first place. It will hopefully be better that the disastrous reboot CN attempted, but are they really expecting this to be a hit off of female millennials that saw the original and teenage girls that haven't? 

[Dr. Insomniac]

Casting semi-recognizable names like Chloe Bennett and Dove Cameron was probably the compromise there for people who don't care about PPG. Same reason why they cast Jared Padalecki in the new Walker Texas Ranger. The CW demographic probably doesn't give a shit about Walker or wants to see a reboot in the first place, but they do like seeing Sam Winchester.

Here's your new Professor Utonium.

If he really acts like that, it would make the pilot 1000x better.

I'll admit, they don't look bad. So already that's one point this CW project has over the CN Reboot.

I think the girls themselves look fine, but the dresses seem like Party City knock-offs.

Honestly I'm surprised that they're still wearing the dresses at all, I would have expected the show to make the girls wear regular clothes in their designated colors. Which I mean, they probably will during downtime, but still.

It doesn't mean the show itself will be good, but honestly that's probably the best they can make their outfits look in live-action as far as sticking to the original's designs. Just hope the pilot is out soon so we can find out already if the show ends up being bonkers or not.

Well, at least they're using Tom Kenny as the Narrator. Also, Miss Bellum will be in the show is already casted.

The lame reboot reprived Tom Kenny too, so his presence by itself doesn't mean it'll be good but he at least will make it bearable at times if it sucks. Glad they didn't arbitrarily leave Ms. Bellum out so that's another point for CW.

[Avaitor]

I'm not going to lie, I don't see why they need a narrator, but he could be used for previously on bumpers.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Maybe it's for a throwback episode. I'll probably be wrong about this, but I assume the cast in their cartoon outfits and Tom Kenny narrating is for a oneoff where they make cute nods to the old show. Or maybe the CW show's far more comedic and less Riverdale than we're expecting.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Anyway, here's what they really look like in the show.
