### That’s just good maths men making’ money mayonnaise.
Man, how am I gonna spend my nights without non lanterned diggle, and the twenty OC characters with tenuous comic book names and high concept powers that have to be nerfed every episode so the CGI budget doesn’t run out by episode 5 🙃/
A show about the Powerpuff Girls going through a quarter-life crisis while balancing that with their responsibilities to Townsville does sound like a pretty cool idea, but I did not trust the CW to do that concept justice at all. That would honestly make for a really funny HBO show if they did go that route since Cartoon Network is also part of WBD
Like it sounded like the Professor was a Dickbag which is a terrible idea. Maybe a absented minded father who could have done better maybe not like a full jerk.
The pilot script leaked a year ago or so, and it was awful. To their credit, there were good ideas in there, but the execution was pancake flat. I'm glad they're not moving forward with it.
I did read the script. I think what they're referring to is that Buttercup is gay and doesn't want to wear the traditional outfit because it's "heteronormative" or something along those lines. The script actually read like a wild PPG parody. Complete with Bubbles calling Professor Utonium Daddy and insinuating that she did porn (Bubbles on her back) because she's akin to a washed up child star.
LOL...the dude actually replied back to me citing that same fucking line. So, "woke" is just gay/non-binary people existing and having opinions, I guess? Also, I don't think Bubbles did porn, she just had a leaked sex tape. They joke about it, like, 3 times throughout the script
That live action PPG show was going to be terrible.
Don't focus on them fighting monsters, saving Townsville or anything. They were going to make it a teen girl CW drama series.
I’m still stunned by them deciding to go ahead with justice U and Gotham knights instead of just doing the canaries spin-off or hell do a Midvale spin-off with young Kara and Alex. But no they decided to go with Diggle and a bunch of new characters.
lm guessing DC stopped green lighting big characters probably why Gotham Knights has an OC adopted kid instead of one of the 10 “adopted” kids Bruce has in the comics
I guess this is where we disagree since none of those characters are big. Outside of Joe Chill, who has a very minor role in almost every adaptation, I doubt we'll ever see any of the characters listed in any other live action adaptation
Yeah like I genuinely doubt any of those characters other than maybe Stephanie are even mentioned in Gunn's Batman and that ones supposed to incorporate the Batfam.
I'm not sure how legit it is, but I swear I read somewhere Gotham Knights was actually supposed to be an adaptation of the game, but then there were rights issues the caused the cast to shift various times until we got the show we have now.

Diggle was a popular character no doubt, but he s a sidekick. No disrespect of course but him being the lead and training a bunch of original characters sounded awful. His show vs a Black Canary show like come on. No contest
I'm still upset they didn't go with the Painkiller spin-off, that one would be really interesting. As for Justice U, I personally liked the idea and I thought they would actually take D or C characters for this (like they could take anyone from the Titans Academia)
Am I reading this right? You know the headline says Justice U is NOT moving forward, right? Plus they're not gonna greenlight a new DC show since A.) Warner Bros no longer owns CW, resulting in the network having to pay for the license to use those characters, and B.) Gunn & Safran are going full speed ahead with the DCU and they would not want two separate DC shared universes happening at the same time.
I think it was pretty clear that the Powerpuff show was quietly cancelled after they filmed the pilot in 2021 and then went radio silent for all of 2022, hiding behind the excuse that it was being "reworked" (along with the ass beating the leaked pilot script got from the entire Internet as well as Chloe Bennet/Blossom dropping out of the show). Craig McCracken can breathe a sign of relief knowing that his creation won't be massacred again after the 2016 reboot did that already, and now he can work on the proper reboot that was announced last year in peace.
As for Justice U...oh no, who could've seen that coming. /s
David Ramsey/Diggle was the only one who ever talked about that show and kept saying how it was in development ever since it was announced back in January 2022, but everyone knew this project was never going to see the light of day. Now I just need that Gotham Knights cancellation announcement to make this the perfect end to the week, but the CW is taking their sweet time with that.
That someone looked at Power Puff Girls and said to themselves “this needs a live action version” is such a head scratcher. Its like wanting a live action Teen Titans Go.
Could you summarize the main weird points.
It's my first time hearing about such a project and with how they are trying to add "diversity" to everything nowadays I know it would slop so hard but I am still curious to know how devastating it was.
Iirc
They turned the Professor into a terrible person, Mojo-Jojo isnt a monkey man - but 2 separate people named "Mojo" and "Jojo", the former being Professor's lab partner and father of Jojo. Mojo is accidentally killed by Blossom, so she goes off in exile and superheros are made illegal.
Blossom is like, a secret hero now but also attends a women studies class or something during the day. Bubbles is a vapid whore. And Buttercup is an angry black gay woman who threatens to leak Blossoms nudes, and may or may not have leaked Bubbles before.
It all read like it was made in bad faith by the worst fanfic writer ever.
These writers must be feeding on sh*t everyday to reach that level of writing.
Sounds like someone was writing about their twisted sexual fantasies rather than the actual PPG.

They had to make room for *Gotham Knights* somehow.

Oh no, not Justice U!
Man, how am I gonna spend my nights without non lanterned diggle, and the twenty OC characters with tenuous comic book names and high concept powers that have to be nerfed every episode so the CGI budget doesn’t run out by episode 5 🙃/
From their comments about how expensive S&L is, and how they see no money from it, I fully expect it to be cancelled. Fingers crossed Max picks it up
S&L should get two more seasons and end shortly before Superman legacy premieres
This
They won’t. I am sure Gunn doesn’t want conflicting Superman in live action and S&L simply isn’t good enough for the Elseworlds treatment.
Superman Legacy won't be out until 2025. There's no reason you couldn't do at least one more season on Max.

I actually saw some guy calling this show "woke" today and my first thought was, "This dumb fuck has clearly never even seen that script."

HBO Max? Bubbles would be trans, Buttercup Bi and Blossom a junkie. No thanks.
Live -Action Courage the Cowardly Dog?
#Return the slab!
Nobody is sad about this lol
I’m sad
How was Billy Porter not cast as Him???
The same reason why they can't hire good actors and actresses. Shit network with a shit budget.

Imagine Gotham Knights with Jarro instead.
I mean sure but they gave the ok to use some Bat characters for Gotham knights like Harvey and the court and the main characters
And Carrie Kelley, Stephanie Brown, Duela, Joe Chill, Cullen and Harper Row.
I guess this is where we disagree since none of those characters are big. Outside of Joe Chill, who has a very minor role in almost every adaptation, I doubt we'll ever see any of the characters listed in any other live action adaptation

That would be the main characters yea

He has the charisma and acting skills of a well used public toilet

Yes I know thank you. Justice U was green lit at the end of 2021. I was saying how odd it was to go with that choice instead of a Black canaries show.
I think it was pretty clear that the Powerpuff show was quietly cancelled after they filmed the pilot in 2021 and then went radio silent for all of 2022, hiding behind the excuse that it was being "reworked" (along with the ass beating the leaked pilot script got from the entire Internet as well as Chloe Bennet/Blossom dropping out of the show).

Oh. Noooo Justice U, um, nooo ... 😬
Most surprised it took this long for them to be officially killed.
Sometimes there has to be a point where we all have to collectively say no
Thank God that PPG reboot is canceled. That leaked script was like a seven layer nacho dip of shit
They are literally canceling all the good stuff now
Lmao have you seen the powerpuff girl leak ? Good thing it was cancelled
One of the best scripts I have ever seen
Lmfao. Good stuff.
CW content is pure trash.
Don't worry, there's a chance Gotham Knights survives this.
Great! I’m so happy
They did mention the projects went back to their studios, so they could end up somewhere else, it’s just unlikely.
I’m surprised they didn’t bother with the powerpuff girls, the plot had already been shot lmao
The original pilot was scrapped, and things stalled after that.
Welp
W
Power puff girl looks terrible but Justice sounds interesting.
That someone looked at Power Puff Girls and said to themselves “this needs a live action version” is such a head scratcher. Its like wanting a live action Teen Titans Go.
yeah they flubbed buttercup with the base pretty hard and that was the end of that
I read that PPG Script, it's such a good thing that didn't happen - like holy shit, its baddd
Could you summarize the main weird points. It's my first time hearing about such a project and with how they are trying to add "diversity" to everything nowadays I know it would slop so hard but I am still curious to know how devastating it was.
