TTGO VS PPG: Battle of the terrible reboots

To be quite honest, this surprised me.

 

I was expecting terrible humour, bad writing and overall just a deplorable TV "special". But no

 

Somehow this was much MUCH worse.

 

Throughout the episode they tried to do the whole "hero vs hero" angle (ala Captain America vs iron man.). But instead of making both the super teams look strong (like any SANE TV writer would have done). They tried to constantly pander to the audience by pegging the teen titans squad as the immature, lazy, "heroes" who don't actually fight any bad guys. and pegging the...I'm guessing 4th grade PPGs as the straight man to that, the mature, hard-working heroes. But, and this is the main problem with the TTGO series general. Admitting your faults to the audience, ISN'T funny. It's lazy and without improvement it just looks like you're aiming to piss off anybody who dares to watch. Especially fans of the old show

 

They've done this with numerous episodes, wally t, the fourth wall, that one Slade episode, and now this. Saying that you suck is not a reason to keep sucking.

 

And as for the Powerpuff girls? Well, they're pretty much non-existent. Yeah, they have some lines and "action" scenes. But they pretty much just fade into the background, ironically, that's the main problem with PPG reboot. For the most part the show isn't terrible, but at the same time it isn't good. Just me, it's not memorable and with any other show that'd be fine. But when trying to reboot such a beloved series, me isn't good enough and that's how you get such bad ratings as this show has.

 

Overall, this crossover just accent's the worse part of these two shows and magnifies them to about 100. *Sigh* if you're looking for a GOOD crossover I'd suggest the Steven universe and the uncle Grandpa crossover. Now I detest everything dealing with uncle Grandpa, but this episode used the most positive aspects if the show and paired that with the wonderful writing of Rebecca sugar and some actual FUNNY humour. They combined their strengths to make a good episode, like a crossover should accomplish. Anyway, I'm done. If you disagree with my comment why down below and see y'all later.

 

Oh yeah, beast boy and cyborg do something with mojo Jojo or whatever, I don't care.

Crossovers are dangerous, especially with 'VS' in the title

 

Put that there and you expect conflict between the two parties, so if you put that in your title, you need to have the two parties fight, and effectively as well

 

Make sure you get the two groups to have equal screentime and proper interaction with one another

 

Combining TTGO (which I like to think of as a parody of the original show, since it's undoubtedly superior) and the PPG reboot (which is more or less pandering to Tumblr-class feminists) is not a good idea imho
