Live action Powerpuff girls cast. Why?

I DEMAND they pull an “Alita” and digitally expand their eyes to foglight proportions!

I've not cared about the Powerpuff Girls since their original series.

It's been watered down to dullness since then.

But for the live action movie, I dunno... I think some stuff just works best as animation.

[MindofShadow]

I thought the poewr puff girls were like 10 years old or something? I've seen like 2 episodes my whole life, but I thoght they were.... girls. Not women?

This show is about them in their 20s.

Yeah, it's that kind of adaptation.

When I see things like this I can't help but ask myself "Who wants this? Who asked for a live action adaptation of the powerpuff girls as disillusioned 20-somethings?" I get that nostalgia is a powerful drug but this is getting ridiculous. This is going to be a CW show, so it could either be like the first few seasons of supergirl or the flash, or riverdale, riverdale sets a low bar.

Exactly this.

The charm of the show was the girls being as "young as they are doing what they were doing".

Outside of those trappings, I don't find it appealing at all.

Yeah, it's that kind of adaptation.

I'm sure I saw a comedy sketch about them as adults or teens and not they are doing it.

But even the parody I remember seeing wasn't live action it was animated.

I don't know how they are going to pull this off. Even as a joke.

What I am imagining is something like Pee Wee's Playhouse or LazyTown but ironic. Or more Ironic in PeeWee's case.

They're going to be edgy, emo and endearing.

And I will make a hard pass on this one.

Stacey Dash apologizes for her offensive comments as she turns on Donald Trump, quits politics and blames the network for type casting her as the 'angry black woman'

Ok Stacy. I still rewatch Clueless.

Michael B Jordan is gonna be directing Creed III

[Anthony Shaw]

about a 99% chance he storms off to a different channel for more money right?

A few years back, he was in the states, tried to be big time, but crashed & burned.

Some folks need to stay in their lane.

Live action Powerpuff girls cast. Why?

I used to watch the original series with my niece, when she was a little. I was a full time uncle back then. The show was pretty funny. Buttercup was her favorite.

I think the real point of interest is if & how the supporting characters & villains will be presented (Ms. Bellum, HIM, & Mojo Jojo).

My niece is grown now. I might see if she has any interest in this.

NOBODY.

However when you are trying to be CHEAP and not pay someone for what they created-you dig into what you have rights to and hope for the best. Even if it means using the name and images for something else.

Like how Jem movie was really Hannah Montana movie with more girls.

Or in this case this is the Green Arrow all girl spinoff using the Power Puff Girls and cast CHEAPER actresses. Or in this case stealing Marvel actresses (2 of them were on Agents of Shield).

What are they stealing? These actresses aren't property of Marvel. I didn't hear anyone accusing Marvel of stealing DC actors when Laurence Fishburne appeared in Ant-Man and the Wasp or when Christian Bale got cast in Eternals.

The CW advertisers, that's who!
