It seems like CW is making a powerpuff girls live action series.
Summary of the show I found:
Summary of the girls:Part of Greg Berlanti's vast TV empire and written by Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody, the official logline for the show is as follows:
The Powerpuff Girls used to be America’s pint-sized superheroes, now they’re disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime-fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever? Based on the original Cartoon Network animated series and characters created by Craig McCracken.
Here are some articles/sources too:CHLOE BENNET as BLOSSOM UTONIUM: Though she was a spunky, conscientious, Little-Miss-Perfect child who holds several advanced degrees, Blossom’s repressed kiddie-superhero trauma has left her feeling anxious and reclusive, and she aims to become a leader again — this time on her own terms.
DOVE CAMERON as BUBBLES UTONIUM: Bubbles’ sweet-girl disposition won America’s hearts as a child. She still sparkles as an adult, but her charming exterior belies an unexpected toughness and wit. She’s initially more interested in recapturing her fame than saving the world, but she just might surprise us and herself.
YANA PERRAULT as BUTTERCUP UTONIUM: Buttercup was the rebellious badass of The Powerpuff Girls in its heyday. More sensitive than her tough exterior suggests, Buttercup has spent her adulthood trying to shed her Powerpuff Girl identity and live an anonymous life.

i came in here cackling that this is going to be deliciously bad and i can't wait, but it's co-written by Diablo Cody (who wrote Juno) and so maybe something interesting will happen?
who exists irl to play Him with sufficient flamboyance?

I was thinking the same thing. I can't wait to see how this will turn out. Just from the summary, it sounds like it's edgy and trying too hard already.
Can't wait for CGI Mojo Jojo and praying they include Princess into this somehow lol

Uhg this just does not site right with me lol PPG are these tiny cute almost toddler like nijas. Not full grown women.....hard pass. Stop with remakes and start coming up with some original content.
I would only be interested on how they cast and depict Him.

Okay, but on a real note, I'm a bit tired of nostalgia bait and gritty reboots (well, I guess this doesn't look that gritty, but relative to the original). Also just not sold on how it'll translate to live-action. So many old cartoons have gotten the live action treatment (tho mostly movies) and I don't know if any of them have done well? Probably a couple, but I can't think of them. This feels like it exists for the "i watched the PPG live action reboot so you don't have to" youtube videos.
I'm kind of convinced they wouldn't even include Him in this show just because of how flamboyant they are and CW will probably grossly mishandle their character. Curious if we'll get the rowdy rough boys though.
