New PPG is comin out, so far it's meh
-
As you all know, I'm a huge fan of PPg and I'm cautiously excited for the reboot but I have been very skeptical about it since I was planning to do a reboot that would help me become a recognised animator and I wanted to continue the story of the original series. I'm of course taking about Sugar, Spice, Nice. It's about the Powerpuff Girls as teenagers. Now before you show your pitchforks and torches let me explain. This is a comic series is a follow-up of the Powerpuff Girls series. It is about the Powerpuff Girls now 16 years old and have reunited after splitting up due to their anxieties of the future. Now they continue to fight crime together and protect the city of Townsville, whilst also having the typical teenage problems in life. I know this concept is original as shit, but please understand that I just wanted the Girls to evolve as character and have it as a coming of age story. I always wanted to explore more of Townsville, Chemical X, what the Girls want to do with their lives and how they fear that no one will appreciate them becuase they're not little girls anymore. And there's plenty of dark and dramatic episodes such as the one I wrote called Don't Shoot the Sender When Blossom underestimates a monster's power and it ends up destroying half of the town, she feels incredibly guilty and the whole town, including her family, hate her for letting the monster destroy part of the town. A week passes and Blossom decides to make amends and starts by texting to her family and friends. But HIM takes advantage of this, and manipulates Blossom's cellphone to alter any text given from any sender, making her family and friend's forgiving replies appear threatening and cold to only Blossom. As HIM consumes Blossom's growing fear and sadness, he possesses TV reports, social media, newspaper to make things worse. And SSn isnt just all dark and gritty, there's a lot of comedy such as the episode called Mall-iCloud Due to a promise they made to Bubbles, the Powerpuff Girls go on the most typical girl's hobby ever, shopping. And only Bubbles is excited about it. However Blossom and Buttercup quickly find all the stuff they always wanted from video games to books and they go on a shopping binge. However, a bunch of robbers spoil their day and the Girls have to stop them. Or the episode USA Puff Yeah, where The Powerpuff Girls get invited to the U.S.A. (United Superheroes Association) where all the superheroes join together for a monthly meeting in Washington. So the Girls arrive and excitedly meet all their favourite superheroes, including Batman and Teen Titans. However, when they are placed in the teen superheroes section, they are angry that no one takes them seriously and consider them just another teenage superhero group because they are older. Heck, I'm doing a episode where the PPG celebrate their 16th birthday, and they do typical birthday activities such as fighting zombie birthday cakes, having a contest on who can overact the most in a Phantom of the Opera, dance battle each other like Scott Pilgrim, playing game shows parodies, reenacting the DC/Marvel Civil War, go in a limo only to find a family of badgers, do surreal, crazy stuff. You see I wanted to do this series so people can appreciate and like my work as an animator and artist but now that the reboot is out, Cartoon Netowrk has beaten me to it and now I'll just be another stupid fan with her retarded fanfiction. I want to liek this reboot as a fan of the PPG, but I can't like it becuase the show I have been Working on for nearly two years is all for nothing. People say I should be doing anyway and don't matter what people think, but seeing how the reboot is going to be good (which I'm glad for) what's the point?

movies/tv What do you think of the PPG Reboot?
Harmony Spark replied to Harmony Spark's topic in Media Discussion
Yeah I want to give it a chance and at least it's staying true to the original and the characters are the same, it's just the writing I'm worried about. Hopefully they might do dark and dramatic episodes later on or do something unique and clever. Something to make the show stand out. So far, I'm going to watch it, but I'm not going to be too hopeful since that first episode was shit. Also I'm doing my own version of a reboot. This time, the PPG are teenagers and they learn more about themselves, their powers and what they want to do with their lives besides fighting crime. This will take place 5 years after the original and I'm making it comedic and clever, but also heart-warming, dramatic and dark sometimes. It's called Sugar, Spice, Nice and I ts a comic I'm working on at the moment but I'll do an animation when I posted enough.- 67 replies

I have been a fan of PPG ever since I was 5, I grew up with this show and the reboot was something that I really looked forward to. But as the promos show up, I'm not hopeful. Here's my two- cents Animation/art style: Looks a lot like Steven Universe and Clarence. Very typical 2010s animation style. But the animation itself is fluent but a little off in some places. And the Girls designs are a bit off. I don't know, maybe it's because of the fangirl in me, but they don't look expressive or dynamic. They look kinda tame and a little bland. So it's not impressive but not the worst thing ever, it just doesn't stand out. Characters: They stay the same. But I don't see any indication that they're dynamic and show any depth besides their personality traits. In the promos we don't see much of Bubbles, Blossom fighting monsters or doing something unexpected of their character, like Buttercup reading a book or Bubbles seeking adventure. I know it has to be in character but CN is just reestablishing character traits when they don't need to. Because fans of the original would be tired of it since they already know what their characters are but at least the newcomers would understand (but I think they would get the gist of it) But still alienating the long time fans of the PPG franchise is a dick move. Voice Acting: Good fucking god, the Girls voices are TERRIBLE! The only one kinda worked was Blossom's, but Buttercup sounds like a pre-teen lesbian and Bubbles sounds way off! She's just got that pre-teen sound it just doesn't fit! In fact the girls mostly sound the same which is crap because it doesn't emphasise their personalities. At least the other characters have the original voices, although I'm still pissed that the original voice actors for the Girls were given the middle finger by CN. Story: Nothing much. The story synopsises are the same really. Just a standard PPG episode. So at least they got that nailed down. Only problem is that there won't be much drama, seriousness, dark episodes or character development. I know PPg was a comedy/action series but even the original had some pretty messed up episodes, and they were my favourite ones! I'm not expecting this to be Cartoon Networks version of Madoka Magica but come on, some depth and dynamics would be nice! Entertainment: I have to admit some parts did make me giggle, but apart from that I just feel nervous and uncomfortable of how the show will turn out and praying it won't be another Teen Titans Go. Overall: I'll give it a 6.5/10. A very noble try, CN but you need to realise when you do a reboot you got to please both newcomers and original fans. To do this, you must stay faithful to the original (voice acting, story-telling and all) but make it a unique show, don't try to be exactly like the original, just stay faithful to it but also try something different, like have character development, interesting stories or make a unique art style (and not just the exact same artstyle as Steven Universe and Clarence or be like Dance Pantsee for th love of God) Try to please both or otherwise you'll just alienate everyone and the reboot will be nothing but a corporate cash grab. Give us a hint that it will be dark, give us a hint that it will be unique, try to stay truthful to the original source material but also grow from it. Think of new ideas tha would fit in this show and try to develop characters, have clever parodies, good comedy. Just try to stay faithful but also improve instead Of giving people the same bullshit we've come to expect from Cartoon Network reboots. But I'll try to give it a chance. And if it turns out to be great then fantastic! I'll be glad to be proven wrong and CN can be misleading when it comes to promos. But if it fails, it just proves my point of how half-assed it all is. And considering me as someone who grow up with the show (heck it came out when I was 1!), just makes me sick to my stomach that the same network who supported this show and used to praise it is now milking it like a cash cow. Like PieGuyRulz said on his channel, t's so greedy and manipulative. But I want to like and look forward to it, but all I can do is await this reboot with anxious anticipation and a growing fear in the pit of my stomach. So what do you think? Do you guys think it's going to be great or not? Is this reboot going to be another Teen Titans Go situation?

As you know, I'm a huge fan of PPg and Transformers. So much so that I want to create my own versions of it. Not fan fiction or fan animation. I want to do the Lauren Faust way and make a different version based on each franchise I love. Don't get me wrong, I have tons of original ideas of my own. But in order for me to get a job in the animation industry, I want to put all my passion in all my works. I want to create Sugar, Spice, Nice. A continuation of the original PPG but of course this isn't form a fan animation. I wish for it to be on Cartoon Netowrk some day. Maybe after the reboot coming soon has ended? In my series, the Ppg are teenagers and reunite after being apart for 5 years due to life problems and teenage issues. Now They fight crime and protect Townsville and it's supposed to be darker and more dramatic than the original and I have loads of stories processed. Same goes for Trnasformers, it's been my childhood dream to create a animated series on the Transformers franchise because I loved t shows I grew up with and I have tons of ideas to show about the universe and how I have changed the typical Trnasformers formula and introduce new characters that can change everyone's view on Trnasformers. It's where the Trnasformers need to find the Divine Spark, the power source of Cybertron and the whole universe and it turns out to be inside a teenage autistic girl named Aura and they have to find another way to restore Cubertron and stop the Decepticons from obtaining the Divine Spark, because if Aura dies, the universe will be unstable (I have got more details but we'll be here all day) here, I want to make it more accepting to all genders and age. I want to make a show both men and women can enjoy. But I don't know where to start. Should I make webcomics or should I do my original works first THEN do the others when I pitch them to Cartoon Network? Should I be ashamed that I'm using copyrighted characters and making a remake series based on both PPg and Trnasformers because I have put so much passion and creativity? Will I get blacklisted and cease and desist like JanAniamtioms?! I do have my own ideas and I put as much passion into those as I have for the remake I have planned. But I loved these shows and I want to expand and show these sources material from a new perspective. I want to show how good i can be at creating stories and ideas But I'm scared of getting copyright, I'm worried studios will go cease and desist on me and I fear that all my hard work and effort will go to waste. I don't want to be banned and sued just because I wanted to do unique twists on certain shows I love?! What should I do?!

As a brony, I have loved MLP for its creative fantasy element, interesting characters, wonderful stories and optimistic and relaxed tone. However, I'm beginning to feel like MLP is losing some of its magic. I don't know why but the last few episodes that have come out didn't entertain as much as Season 4. Epsidoes like Amending Fences, Slice of Life, Bloom and Gloom, The Cutie Map, Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Rarity Investigates and the Lost Treasure of Griffonstone were all great episodes and they are good becuase they expand character, have world-building or jsut have an entertaining story from beginning to end. Whereas in episodes after Sliceof Life, seem to b a little mundane and not as entertaining. Maybe it's the new writers or something but the stories doesn't go into interesting directions, the morals are still great and the characters or great but they didn't do something interesting or creative with the set-up. For example, Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep - great premise and development for Luna but like Power Noia from PPG it took a 90 degree nose dive into disaster as the conflict was caused by Luna because she wanted to punish herself for being Nightmare Moon. For fucks sake, Luna. Stop listening to Linkin Park, stop acting so emo and sort yourself OUT!! Your self pity could have endangered millions of ponies! And you created the Tanatbus because it's a creative way of cutting yourself?! Jesus, Luna. You need to see Dr Wolf. Party Pooped - cute idea and its jsut alright. Again very mundane and what transpired in the episode didn't connect to the moral. Heartbreakers - Again a sweet episode. Loved to see Pie family. But I don't like Applejack episodes. They always centre on family. It's getting old. Carousel Boutique - Rarity is not my fave character. But i liked this one. Also Raven goth pony and blond pony should be best friends. It must be canon Brotherhoods Social - hilarious episode and took a twist on the "guy cross dressing for the sake of pleasing friend in competition or something" trope having the characters know it was Big Mac all along but went along with it. The One Where Pinkie Knows - okay episode but wouldn't it be so much better if there was a Cadance and Shining Armor episode where they find out that they are having a baby and stress out over everything and fear they aren't ready to raise a child? Character development was practically gift-wrapped for them. Also they aren't related to Applejack or even close friends with Apllejack, so it's okay for them to use Applejacks birth certificate? That's just creepy. Scare Master - decent but wouldn't it be better if we saw Fluttershy struggling to get out and enjoy Nightmare Night as she wants to go out so she can spend time with friends, but her fears of being scared get the best of her? So you see, I loved Season 5 from the beginning but after Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep and after the 2 month hiatus, it began to get just mundane and not as interesting or fun. Even the most by the book episodes have had something fun or unique to it, but here it's like on slice of life autopilot. Have a conflict, characters freak out about it, show new ponies for bronies to fan-gasm over and make stupid fanart or fanfiction on it, conflict solved, moral, the end no refunds. I really want to like season 5, and I don't want to hate, I don't even dislike it, it's good, but after the hiatus, it feels weird and watered down. Am I being too harsh? Is it just me? What do you think? Am I being an insensitive over critical moron? Or am I being selfish? I just want MLp to have that magic that kept me hooked since the series premiere.

writing Sugar, Spice, Nice
Harmony Spark replied to Harmony Spark's topic in Non-Pony Art & Creations
Thanks! I love PPg too and I really wanted to make a series about the continuation of the PPg story like what happeened if they grew up and what new challenges they faced and since the original show had seasonal rot later on. I wanted to make PPg as good as it was and I'm not making this series to please fans, rather to entertain and create a new chapter in the Powerpuff Girls legacy. I hope This series will be as epic and funny as its original show it was based on. This will be considered a sequel series, but not related to the 2016 reboot. -
Here is my concept artwork for my new comic series, Sugar, Spice, Nice. Where the teenage Powerpuff Girls reunite after 5 years of social pressure and life-changing decisions and now continue to fight crime and save the day. As a fan, I always wanted to imagine the Powerpuff Girls grown older and face conflicts that normal teens experience whilst also containing the original show's campy charm, innocence, humour, and its dark side as well. The comic series centres around the Powerpuff Girls now 16 years old and getting back together after they split up years ago, and have now promised to defend Townsville once again whilst also having normal lives. The Girls also learn some newly discovered powers by channeling their inner ingredients (sugar, spice and everything nice) to still save the day but also have slice of life problems such as exams, social media, boys etc. The comics features the villains from the original such as Mojo Jojo and HIM, whilst also establishing characters, like the Rowdyruff Boys and Professor Utonium. Blossom - the leader of the group. She has pink eyes, long ruffled red hair and wears a red bow with long ribbons. She wears a pink and black striped long sleeve top with dark pink leggings and black sneakers. Her signature colour is pink and her ingredient is everything nice. Blossom is the level-headed of the group, she is smart, kind and wise beyond her years. She is a huge fan of the 80s and is into retro culture, especially music, but people often think she's a hipster or nerd. Blossom always considers options before making a decision and always tries to save the day but to do it in the right way. She is also quite shy and socially awkward around her peers at Townsville High (although she is very good at Science and Maths) and normally is friends with her own sisters. But she is the best person in school to go for advice and can support her peers about their fears and doubts. She does, however, have a certain need to have everything in control and has self-confidence issues because of her introvertedness. Despite her being the most mature of the group, Blossom is also neurotic and can worry over small details or panic when she cant find the answer to a question. She has a deep devotion to her sisters and will do anything to be with them. Even in the pilot comic, a depressed Blossom reminisced about the days of fighting crime and was the first to try and get her sisters back together. Blossom gets along better with Bubbles because of her compassion and although she argues with Buttercup due to her stubbornness, Blossom admires her tenacity. Even though she may argue with her sisters, she acts like a motherly figure whenever they are scared or lonely. Her signature power is ice breath, which she can use to freeze anything that is in her path, and her new power is manipulating her element: everything nice (which is the positive emotions of her loved ones). Although she despises him, Blossom develops a reluctant crush on Brick, the leader of the Rowdyruff Boys. Bubbles - the sweetheart of the group. She has blonde hair in a ponytail with a curved fringe and baby blue eyes. She wears a black and blue striped blouse with a dark blue long skirt and black lace pumps. Her signature colour is blue and her ingredient is sugar. Bubbles is still naive and sweet as before but she has changed throughout the decade. She is smarter, braver and shows to be very observant sometimes. She is also very techno-savvy, has a fondness of anime and loves the Internet, particularly social media: Her kindness and good nature makes her very popular at Townsville High but she is quite good at schoolwork (mostly English and Geography) Even though she is beautiful, she always inspires others to be beautiful in their own way. But despite her popularity, her best friends are always her two sisters. She does get into fights with her sisters, like the rest of them do, but she is always the first to make amends. Bubbles looks up to her sisters as she tries to be tough and smart like them. Before the series, Bubbles left the group because she thought she wasn't good at being a superhero and was considered a weak link. She then left to join the popular girls who often use Bubbles' naïveté to their advantage and can push her around, even though she claims that they're good friends. When Bubbles' "fair weather friends" abandon her, Blossom was nearby as she fell down a cliff into the sea. Bubbles finds her sister drowning and saves her just in time. After a long talk, Blossom tells Bubbles that she has more courage and strength than she realised as she faced many villains and still beat them all. Her signature power is the sonic scream, but her new power is manipulating her element: sugar to increase her power as a last resort. She has a longtime crush on Boomer, one of the Rowdyruff Boys. Buttercup - the tomboy of the group. She has black punk style hair with her original tufts at the ends and has light green eyes. She wears a black and green striped tank top with dark green ripped jeans and black army boots. Her signature colour is green and her ingredient is spice. Buttercup is the most feisty and tough of the group as she's always ready to fight crime and save the day. She is more masculine from the others since she acts this way. Prior to the series' events, Buttercup used to think being a girl was a weakness and that she was too different from the other girls. She then left the group to become a bully to everyone, hanging out with many of the boys at high school, despite being tortured by them whenever Buttercup disagrees on something. Blossom eventually confronts her twisted sister and after a long talk, she taught Buttercup how to use words instead of violence to solve her problems, which helped prove to Buttercup that women can be tough and heroic just like men but doing ladylike things does not make them weak. So after reuniting with her sisters, Buttercup does things like playing video games and skateboarding but develops a feminine side by doing shopping and make-up. Buttercup is also very loyal towards her sisters and will crush anyone who tries to hurt them. She does tend to criticise them, which particularly annoys Blossom, therefore coming off as sarcastic and makes snarky remarks but only for having fun. Her signature power is lightning and electricity, but her new power is manipulating her element: spice as a one-only power needed for emergencies. She has a progressing crush on Butch, one of the Rowdyruff Boys. These profiles are still working in progress but they're a final draft The other characters such as the Professor are included as well as a new character I created, which is supplied to be the son of Talking Dog. Professor Utonium - he is the Powerpuff Girls' creator and their father. He is a self-employed scientist who cares deeply for his daughters and tries to do everything he can to be a good father. Since the Girls are the only family he has, he loves spending time with them but can get overly protective with the Girls, especially since they are fighting evil. In the pilot comic, The Professor was devastated when the Powerpuff Girls split up years ago and as the family split apart, he was lonelier than ever and became depressed. Fortunately, when Blossom was the only one who wanted to bring the Girls back together, the Professor gave her all of the support and advice to help Blossom get her sisters. Now that the Girls are back together, they not only treat themselves better, but treat the Professor better and the family reunites. Now, the Professor tries to figure out ways to control and train the Girls' developed powers and skills, while looking after them. He is also a shoulder to cry on whenever the Girls have a dilemma and he can always find some advice that will help them, but even he doesn't know all the answers. Despite being a scientist, the Professor does have an immature streak and can act childish on occasion, though it sometimes embarrasses the Girls (but they often join in) he is also a hopeless romantic and tries to find love but often fails due to nerves or putting the Powerpuff Girls before romance. He also likes doing puzzles, solving mysteries and reading retro comics. Neutron - the Powerpuff Girls' pet Dalmatian dog and the son of Talking Dog from the original show. Named after a sub-atomic particle, Neutron is a cynical, down-to-earth yet loyal pet with a passion for science, he is coloured white and covered in black spots with a black atom-shaped patch on his eye. After being adopted by the Girls, he is part of the family and even helps the Girls when it comes to crime. He's fed Chemical X by accident and becomes super powered like the Girls. Since the Powerpuff Hotline phone doesn't work anymore and the now teenage Powerpuff Girls are embarrassed to use a preschool toy phone, Neutron has a superpower skill of picking distress signals and can easily sense danger by his heightened senses. Despite being the son of Talking Dog, Neutron doesn't talk or even bark since the Chemical X he drank has severed his vocal chords as a side effect, disabling him to speak, so Neutron often uses body language and his mood is often shown in his expressions. He also has the same powers as the Girls such as super-speed, super-strength and can shoot lasers from his eyes. Neutron is very sardonic and can become a huge critic to the actions of other people, so he often goes along with it or tries to show what they did wrong since he does care; he maybe the most pessimistic of the family but he loves the Girls and the Professor to no end. Neutron is also very intelligent, even more so than normal Dalmatians as he can do most household chores on his own like cleaning the dishes, taking out the trash, reading the newspaper etc. despite being a cute little puppy, he acts like a practical, responsible adult. There are secondary characters, particularly Robin and the reformed Princess Morbucks, as well as that jerk Mitch Princess "Phoenix" Morbucks - one of the Powerpuff Girls oldest enemies, who is now the first reformed villain as she's now best friends with the Girls themselves. She has long red curly hair and wears a gold circlet, a yellow top with a small black belt, blue jeans and black boots. In the original, Princess was a spoilt, ungrateful, greedy brat who desired power and wanted to be a Powerpuff Girl (even though she lacked the powers or attitude of one). But after a decade, the teenage Princess has completely changed. She is now generous, loving, humble and apologetic whenever she makes the slightest mistake. This was because during the 5 years of the PPG split up, Princess' father suffered a kidney failure and that he needed a donor in order to survive. Princess felt terrible since he was the only family she had and that she would be left alone. Fortunately, an old man decided to give up his kidney as the donor to save Princess' father. And the donor was a success. However since her father never thanked that old man for the donor, Princess discovered the power of generosity and how important it was enough to save a life. From then on, Princess dedicated her life to reform herself and become a generous friend and person. At first, the Powerpuff Girls thought this whole reformation was just a trick, but after Princess invites them over to her family mansion for a sleepover, they find that Princess really is lonely and just wants to be liked and respected, especially after her spoilt brat behaviour all those years ago. She has no ill intention of destroying the Powerpuff Girls or even to become one, she just wants to follow in their footsteps and be a good hero like them. Princess isn't a goody-two shoes however, as she does have a feisty, no-nonsense attitude and hates it when others condescend her or her friends. She is a huge drama queen and is the most sophisticated girl, but she can use her skills to help the PPG in a situation. Princess sometimes acts selfish but when she does realise this, she deeply regrets it. Though reluctant at first, the Powerpuff Girls think of Princess as a generous, supportive friend. She also allies the Girls in crime with a superhero alter-ego, the Phoenix. Robin Synder - one of the Powerpuff Girls' closest friends since childhood. She has dark brown hair with streaks of teal, blue eyes, ear piercing and wears mostly nature inspired clothes, like a forest hoodie, tiger striped jeans and a circlet made out of branches. Robin is the most introverted of Townsville High as she is aloof, sarcastic and sometimes acts cold. But the Powerpuff Girls know inside her heart, Robin is still the same girl inside. Robin mostly hates Townsville High and is against with pretty much every decision the school makes, up to a point where she protests. Robin is diagnosed with dyslexia, so the school constantly condescends her because of her condition and think she can't handle anything. Robin becomes a rebel since the school treats her this way so people are unsure why the PPG like Robin as their best friend. Like Blossom, Robin is mature and a workaholic, but she has a strong sense of moral. Robin is also into nature and likes camping, hiking, kanoeing and dreams of being a woodland biologist. She is also best friends with Princess, despite them being polar opposites, and they have supported each other whilst the PPG split up. She also has an orange tabby cat named Ginger. And of course the Rowdyruff Boys; As the male counterparts of the Powerpuff Girls, the Rowdyruff Boys are considered one of the toughest villains the Girls have to face, but for a personal reason. It is explained that before the Girls split up 5 years ago, the Boys left Townsville and became homeless thieves. After finding out the Girls reunited and are fighting crime again years later, the Boys decide to get revenge on the Girls by returning to Townsville and manipulated the principal of Townsville High into enrolling them into school so they can get closer to the Girls. The Rowdyruff Boys are shown to be far more cunning, powerful and disturbed than before. They also develop a facade of being the sterotypical dream-boat boyfriend by looking handsome and acting sweet. Their main goal is of course defeating the Girls but they also try to seduce the Girls for their own sinister plans. But they also develop reluctant albeit sweet romantic feelings for the Powerpuff Girls but they often hide it. In the series, each of the Boys represent different elements of the villains that raised them: HIM and Mojo Jojo. Brick - the leader of the Rowdyruff Boys. He has dark orange ruffled hair, has blood red eyes and wears a red baseball cap. He also wears a red and black striped long sleeve shirt with black jeans and red sneakers. His signature colour is red and his ingredient is 'puppy dog tails'. Brick is manipulative, power-hungry and arrogant. He is the smartest of the Boys, rivalling Blossom's intelligence, which makes him the one who thinks of all the plans. However, he can underestimate the Girls abilities and his plans eventually go wrong, but since Brick is so stubborn, he often tries to shift the blame onto his brothers. While Blossom leads her sisters by kindness and respect, Brick leads his brothers by abuse and submission, he even mentally abuses Boomer due to his dimwittedness. He threatens anyone who cross him and can manipulate anyone in order to get what he wants. Brick also has a lust for power and can be the most formidable of the Rowdyruff Boys. He represents a element of Mojo Jojo, as he is incredibly smart and is a master manipulator. Brick, along with his brothers, have a special power that his kisses can hypnotise the Girls into lovestruck stupor, becoming their puppets. This especially is rooted by his ladies' man persona and can be almost like a male siren; seducing any girl and luring her into a trap. His signature power are (in contrast to Blossom's ice powers) fire powers. He has a hidden crush on Blossom but he often ignores this to trick or even kill her. Boomer - the klutzy one of the Boys. He has blonde tousled hair, has sea blue eyes, wears a dark blue and black shirt with black jeans and dark blue sneakers. His signature colour is dark blue and his ingredient is 'snips'. Boomer is the lesser evil of the Boys as he is nicer, optimistic and more polite than his brothers, but he still has a dark side that even his brothers are afraid of. That being Boomer is the most destructive, has constant mood swings and is obsessed with crushing things. While Bubbles is sweet and naive, Boomer is often scatterbrained, sly and very perverted. He is the dumbest of the Boys, as he doesn't know what his brothers' plans are half the time and even doesn't understand euphemisms. But he is the only one who admires the Girls and actually wants to be civil with them. Since Bubbles is the only girl that ever liked him , Boomer especially admires her due to her willingness to give him a second chance. (Although he's obsessed with her up to a point where he would consider holding her against her will), but he does show sweet gestures to her, such as planting a rare blue rose for and apologises whenever he goes too far. Boomer represents a element of both HIM and Mojo Jojo due to his ditzy personality, his violent, sporadic behaviour and that he cross-dresses in secret, which he was taught by HIM. But he is mostly the target of his brothers' abuse because of this. His signature power consist of electricity and energy which he can manipulate to his will and can form weapons from these powers. He, of course, has a huge crush on Bubbles and is never afraid to show it. Butch - the darkest of the Boys. He has black side swept bangs that cover one of his forest green eyes, wears a black and dark green hoodie with black jeans and dark green sneakers. His signature colour is dark green and his ingredient is 'snails'. Butch is definitely the cruelest of the Rowdyruff Boys due to his ruthless nature and has a psychological method of torture. While Buttercup is slightly sarcastic and feisty, Butch is very cold, calculating and is incredibly sour to anyone, no matter who they are. unlike his brothers who resort to fighting, Butch uses his cursed right eye (that's covered by his hair) to possess anyone and try to bring pain to them telepathically. Although Buttercup can be hot-headed, Butch has a hidden psychopath that is unleashed whenever there is a fight, especially if it's between the Girls. He also shares Brick's arrogance and intelligence, although he has an calmer temper and patience than Brick. Like Brick, Butch also hates Boomer so he often fools and belittles him. Having a borderline psychopath mind, Butch loves bringing pain to others and threatens to use a knife against any victim who even makes fun of him. He represents an element of HIM as he is the most evil and relies on psychological methods to stop the Girls. Butch's signature power are creating poisons and toxic chemicals which he can control to poison or severely damage enemies. He does have a crush on Buttercup due to her tough attitude and quiet nature (and that she is the only one who is immune to Butch's cursed eye power) but he struggles with facing his crush or trying to defeat her like his brothers.

Oh, boy. A lot of people are gonna strangle me for saying this but I'm not sure what Sailor Moon is. I was interested in seeing the show after Nostalgia Critic reviewed it and I watched the first season, but I just don't knew whether Sailor Moon and it's theme on skimpy outfits and pretty makeup and how every sailor scout is skinny and beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I love the transformation scenes, I love each of the sailor scouts' personality like Ami is a shy, smart girl, Makoto is tough, determined athlete who gets lovesick, Rei is a no-nonsense, elegant priestess and Usagi is well, okay she's very funny and ditsy it's just I hope she matures in later seasons. So what I'm trying to get at is That Sailor Moon is supposed to empower girls; by dressing up like prosititutes and waving Toys R Us magic wands around? Again it's Japan and I understand cultural differences and that subtlety is nonexistent in Japan, especially in anime. But Jesus, even Power Rangers had clothes and weapons like swords and stuff. If you're wearing such skimpy outfits, there's a high chance you'll get hurt and if Sailor Moon is supposed to empower girls, then how about telling them that they can wear armour. Heck, if they have Sailor Neptune and Uranus be a lesbian couple, and seeing how the anime is LGBT- positive, surely showing some battle armour, or even a sword might be useful. Then again, this isn't what the shwo should be and I'm probably being too narrow-minded. I love this show for the action, drama and characters and the concept is pretty awesome, I alway love women having normal lives and fighting evil and saving the world. But I love shows like Powerpuff Girls a lot more because even if it's little girls, one they have superpowers (immediately cooler) and second they didn't care how beautiful they look and they just fight crime whenever. They aren't made to look sexy, they're made to look cute, but the badass nature comes from 3 little girls beating the crap out of bad guys. Sailor Moon is a good series and I do like it, it's just questionable how it is emphasising on the sex sells idea, that is now in, Western culture,only done in Michael Bay movies. It's the short skirts. The short skirts always bother me. :/ Am I reading too much into this?

Well, not only does this show have a special place in my heart, but it taught me a lot of valuable lessons about friendship and that it was something to look forward to each Saturday You see, i have Asperger's syndrome, and of course I don't have friends during both preschool and secondary school. But when I first came across MLP:fim, I never really liked MY little pony from the past as they looked too creepy and weird. But when I watched the pilot episodes, I was hooked ever since. Mlp brought me back to the wonderful world of animation and cartoons. And not only that but I have bronies and pegasisters to talk to about the show. If it wasnt for MLP:fim, I wouldn't have wanted to become an animator. I was watching popular trend after popular trend since I wanted to have friends like Twilight or Hunger Games, but when MLP came into my life, it made me grow as a person And MLP actually got me involved in other cartoons that I watched as a child and I still watch them today, Powerpuff Girls, Dexters Lab, SpongeBob, Sailor Moon, Pokemon etc. So MLp doesn't just have a place in my heart, but has a certain magic inside that brings me happiness every Saturday. It makes me emotionally invested as I want to see these ponies interact, I love to see the World of Equestria and its fantasy elements, I love the ponies rainbow-nuking enemies to the ground even if it's a deux ex machina This show is amazing and it's power to make so many people smile, to break gender roles and society stereotypes and bring together every generation and gender together. This show has an energy that will shine bright, even if the show is off the air. Lauren Faust is my Jesus

I don't know what to think of S5 Episode
Harmony Spark replied to Harmony Spark's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
But guys, I just don't know whether I like ht episodes or not. Something was missing, but I can't think what. This never happened before, I always love or hate an episode and still like the show. But one season primere, it never happened before, I don't know whether or not I'm a brony . I want to love the show, it made my realise my dream job of being an animator and it taughte me so much. So it is me or is it im losing intrest in the show? Maybe it is because of the fact that I have no idea what Harrison-Bergeron or the George Orwell's 1984 -
i love MLP and it is my fave animated show and it made me want to become animator. However, after waiting 9 months, and due to the A-Levels stress I had leading to tests and upcoming exams yet I'm doing fine. When I was watching The Cutie Map. I loved it up until the climax I don't know why but I was expecting something epic or a grand battle, I understand if it was subdued but since this was a unicorn with powers no pony has and not a plant take takes over Eqesutria, But I don't know why, but something about the premiere felt off and really weird. I like it, but I'm supposed to live it but the climax really put me off and I don't know why Is it me? Am I being over Critical? Can I ever love MLP the same way I usually do again or is it because I'm too used to it.

I personally had From watching it because the humour was great but Pinkie was funny as always. Also my stomach I also like Starlight glimmer as the villain, since she has pretty much created the ultimate utopian town and the brainwashing thing was downright creepy. But I also love the concept of cutie marks being taken, since that's what popularised MLP from the very beginning in the 80s. The mane 6 were really good interacting with the villagers (great to see MA Larson back again for this season) and Fluttershy takes a major role to save the day in the end, which is something we rarely see with the element of Kindness. I also love how she has an open mind. The only thing I thought was weak was the climax since i imagined a big battle like in the previous season premiere. But I understand that the situation was more subdued. So overall, the humour was great, animation was great, opens up a ton of creative ideas, Starlight was a good villain (although a little bit Sunset Shimmer-ish, seriously why do all of the villains besides TIREK, Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis and Discord, need to be unicorns?) The story was great, every character had a chance to shine and all around great concept to tie into the shows themes I'd give it 3 1/2 stars out of 4 or an 8.5/10 A toast to a new season of ponies! /)

movies/tv Watch this and tell me what you think.
Harmony Spark replied to Harmony Spark's topic in Media Discussion
You're welcome, and yes it can be immature so it's best to watch this when you need cheering up or want to have a good laugh. If you want to find out more, there are episodes and clips on YouTube. Trust me, the games they have on there are brilliant, including baby races, contests were they shout bogies the loudest in a public area and they even have puppet versions of themselves living in a cupboard. Again if you're not intrested, that's fine -
movies/tv Evilest character in a kids' cartoon
Harmony Spark replied to AmberDust's topic in Media Discussion
I agree with Amber Dust, Him is best villain, and the fact that he's probably scared the living daylights out of Cartoon Network. Including me. Seriously, he's so awesome :3 He's evil, mysterious, powerful, effeminate, classy, and the most biggest threat to the PPG. For some reason, his design is well... Attractive in my view. I don't know what sick perverted part of my mind is thinking and I'm a girls but he looks a tiny, teensy, itsy bit cute. Well not cute, more seductive. The slender body, very dangerous attire and how confident he is in his plans and can make anyone cower before him is truly admirable and something I find most attractive about him. He is the true embodiment of evil and what's more to be said besides the fact, he is one awesome character. And many of my favourite PPG episodes have Him using psychological torture on the girls and it's just so freakin dark, creepy and awesome!! Yes, I have a crush on a cross-dressing demon with lobster claws And, yes , I hear that the wailing, glaring sirens of several mental hospital vans are coming in right now. And this is probably your reaction to my opinion, -
This is one my Favourite TV show back in 2002-2006. This is called Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow, where two guys named Dick and Dom live in a bungalow and have kid contestants play chaotic, fun, messy and outrageous games and sketches. The show was very popular back then and was even awarded with a BAFTA. The show was like the South park of the BBC, very rebellious, crude, chaotic and had a lot of sly adult jokes and had both adults and children laughing their heads off. So, with all that said, watch this clip to those who don't know this show and tell me what you think of it from that clip. It would be hilarious to see Amercians react to this kind of British show XD And if you want, watch this

I don't if this post is either media or general. I'll call it both. XD Now, we all have a point in our lives where we just want to get away from it , you know to escape from all the harsh times of life and wish of a better time. And I'm sorry to all of those who are going through these harsh times. Don't worry, it will get better and you are not alone. /) Well in case you're feeling down in the dumps and you need some thing to laugh or something to make you feel like you're having fun and feel better. Here is a clip of one of my favourite live action kids shows that was shown on the BBC. Yes this is a British show, but this is one to watch either if you want to have an outlet for all that angry and emotion and have some fun and mess around. If you don't like this clip, that's fine. This post isn't just showing you guys an obscure thing you never saw before to get views, but this post is for the sole purpose for cheering people in this forum up. I'm not trolling or being mean, I have just recently been through a harsh period in my life due to A Levles, but now I'm back on track, and I want. You all to get on track to, so if you guys want some laughter, here's the clip

Forget what i said before in my post. It was seriously dated My cartoon crush is actually HIM from Powerpuff Girls. .... And yes, I am aware how incredibly insane that sounds. Don't get me wrong, he's creepy as hell and my fave villain of PPG because he's the most evil, but i think its something to do with his slender figure, mysterious personality and how confident he is in his plans. Or more it's his attire. I don't know.

movies/tv PPG: Sugar, Spice, Nice - My Upcoming Comic Series
Harmony Spark posted a topic in Media Discussion
Since im a huge PPG fan as well as MLP, I have decided to create a webcomic series based on PPG. In entering an animation course, so I'm at my writing stories stage but as soon as I perfect digital art techniques, I'll be able to make the comic itself. This is a reimagining of the original cartoon. As a fan, I always wanted to imagine the Powerpuff Girls grown older and face conflicts similar to the comic book world whilst also containing the original show's charm, humour, darkness and spirit as well. The comic series centres around the Powerpuff Girls now 15 years old and getting back together after they split up years ago, and have now promised to defend Townsville whilst also having normal lives. The Girls learn their newly discovered powers by channeling their inner ingredients (sugar, spice and everything nice) to still save the day but also have slice of life problems such as exams, puberty, boys etc. The comics features the villains from the original such as Mojo Jojo and HIM, whilst also establishing characters, like the Rowdyruff Boys. Here are my character profiles for the girls: Blossom - the leader of the group. She has pink eyes, long ruffled red hair and wears a torn red bow with long ribbons. She wears a pink and black striped top with dark pink leggings and black sneakers. Her signature colour is pink and her ingredient is everything nice. Blossom is the level-headed of the group, she is smart, kind and wise beyond her years. She always considers options before making a decision and always tries to save the day but to do it in the right way. She is also quite shy and socially awkward around her peers at Townsville High (although she is very good at Science and Maths) and normally is friends with her own sisters. She does, however, have a certain need to have everything in control and hates it when others disrespect her. Blossom is also hot-headed and can sometimes forget reasoning to resort to fighting, but unlike Buttercup, she can calm down easily. She has a deep devotion to her sisters and will do anything to be with them. Even in the pilot comics, a depressed Blossom reminisced about the days of fighting crime and was the first to try and get her sisters back together. Blossom gets along better with Bubbles because of her compassion, but gets in arguments with Buttercup due to her stubbornness but even though she may argue with her sisters, she acts like a motherly figure whenever they are scared or lonely. Her signature power is ice breath, which she can use to freeze anything that is in her path. She also develops another signature power: telepathy. She develops a infatuation on Brick, the leader of the Rowdyruff Boys. Bubbles - the sweetheart of the group. She has blonde hair in a ponytail with a curved fringe and baby blue eyes. She wears a black and blue striped blouse with a royal blue skirt and black ballet pumps. Her signature colour is blue and her ingredient is sugar. Bubbles is still naive and sweet as before but she has changed throughout the decade. She is smarter, braver and shows to be very insightful sometimes. Her kindness and good nature makes her very popular at Townsville High and despite this, she is very good at schoolwork (as she often tries to prove she's not a 'dumb blonde'). But her best friends are always her two sisters. Bubbles loves them to no end and always reminds them that they're a team as she only wants her sisters to be happy. Bubbles does get into fights with her sisters, like the rest of them do, but she is always the first to make amends. She looks up to her sisters as she tries to be tough and smart like them. Before the comic series, Bubbles left the group because she thought she wasn't good at being a superhero and was considered a weak link. She then left to join the popular girls who often use Bubbles' naïveté to their advantage and can push her around, even though Bubbles claims that they're good friends. When Bubbles' "fair weather friends" abandon her, Blossom was nearby as she accidentally fell down a cliff into the sea. Bubbles finds her sister drowning and saves her just in time. After a long talk, Blossom tells Bubbles that she has more courage and strength than she realised as she faced many villains and still beat them all and she is what makes a superhero super. Her signature power is the sonic scream, a sound which is so loud that can be amplified by the negativity of her words (for example: when she shouts a swear, the sonic scream is so loud that it's enough to shatter glass.) She also develops another signature power: invisibility. She has a longtime crush on Boomer, one of the Rowdyruff Boys. Buttercup - the tomboy of the group. She had black punk style hair with her original flips at the ends and has light green eyes. She wears a black and green striped tank top with dark green ripped jeans and black hi-tops. Her signature colour is green and her ingredient is spice. Buttercup is the most stubborn and tough of the group as she's always ready to fight crime and save the day. She is more masculine from the others since she acts this way. Prior to the series' events, Buttercup used to think being a girl was a weakness and that she was too different from the other girls. She then left the group to become a bully to everyone, hanging out with many of the boys at high school, despite being tortured by them whenever Buttercup disagrees on something. Blossom eventually confronts her twisted sister and after a long talk, she taught Buttercup how to use words instead of violence to solve her problems, which helped prove to Buttercup that women can be tough and heroic just like men but doing ladylike things does not make them weak. So after reuniting with her sisters, Buttercup does things like playing video games and skateboarding but develops a feminine side by doing shopping and make-up. Buttercup is also very loyal towards her sisters and will crush anyone who tries to hurt them. She does tend to criticise them, which particularly annoys Blossom. She's also quite sarcastic and makes snarky remarks but only for having a bit of fun. Her signature power is fire powers, but she also develops a new signature power: super strength. She has a unrequited crush on Butch, one of the Rowdyruff Boys. I'm also having the Rowdyruff Boys represent different aspects of Mojo Jojo and HIM, sice they were the villains who tried to raise them. Such as having Brick the scheming, manipulative leader that uses his smarts for evil instead of good like Blossom. Butch is cold, calculating and a sociopath, and Boomer is the most energetic and destructive but also has a soft side for girls (in fact he secretly has an effeminate nature, however this causes Boomer to be a victim to his brothers abuse.) And the relationship between the PPG and the RRB, unlike tons of fanfiction out there, is going to be subtle, complex and handled well. There will also be common intrests between the two groups, but they are often fighting between each other. Bottom line, there won't be any forced romances or waifus stealers in this comic series (cough Equestria Girls cough) Anyway, on a lighter note, here are some of the character models of the Grls. They aren't the best due to my limited skills at the moment, but I tried my best. http://spectrum-princess.deviantart.com/art/PPG-Sugar-Spice-Nice-Teenage-Blossom-505938799 http://spectrum-princess.deviantart.com/art/PPG-Sugar-Spice-Nice-Teenage-Bubbles-509959109 http://spectrum-princess.deviantart.com/art/Powerpuff-Girls-SSN-Teenage-Buttercup-510379186?ga_submit_new=10%253A1422553485 Anyway I would like to hear your thoughts on my project. Do you think it's a good idea? Are there any changes you would like to see? Any characters you want to see again? Any tips and ideas for my project? I'm open to all advice and ideas. /) -

Most Boring Episode of the Show?
Harmony Spark replied to The Second Opinion's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
3rd place = It Ain't Easy Being Breezies. Although the design of the Breezies were good and it had a good key moment for Fluttershy about tough love. (No PPG pun intended) 2nd place = Castle Mane-ia. Pointless, boring, predictable and had no spooky moments or funny moments whatsoever. 1st place = Pretty much every Spike episode to date. Seriously, why can't the writers give the little guy some slack? Or at the very least some character!- 49 replies

I always wondered this but most PPG fans I heard, they think that Blossom is their least favourite. Nearly all of the quizzes about PPG heck, even Powerpuff Grls Wiki says Blossom is their least favourite Powerpuff Girl. Buttercup and Bubbles are the most popular. I understand that she may be boring because she's a stick in the mud or a bit too narcissistic. But she only wants to lead her sisters becuase she's the only one down-earth enough to do it. She's a great straight girl that the other's Girls personalities can bounce off of. Personally, I don't know why because I think Blossom is a good voice of reason and a good leader, she's very smart and loving and she may be bossy but she only means well, so why is she being looked down by many fans? She's a great character in my eyes as well as the rest of the girls. So is it me or is it just their opinions?

An actual MLP Movie coming out in 3 years?: Victory Screech!
-
I have been wondering this for a while but do you think MLP is playing it safe and not taking too many risks. What I mean by risks, I mean the staff making dark, scary episodes like cartoons have done in the past or having the show make witty parodies or anything that'll make the show more appealing to all ages. If MLp did take a risk then the show would be a lot better and will definitely stop people for thinking that MLP is just a girls show. By doing these risks, the show would still be charming and well-written but also not afraid to speak its mind. There have been plenty of cartoons that did scary episodes and it still were hits towards children. Like Speed Demon from Powerpuff Girls. That show was still a popular hit towards children back then but that episode was very scary and surely made Powerpuff Grls more popular than ever. Courage the Cowardly Dog did dark, frightening episodes all the time. Including Samurai Jack, any kids show back in the 80s-90s had scar episodes every now and then. So I think MLP should have a go at doing something they haven't done before. In the episode Putting Your Hoof Down, Fluttershy in anger said 'NOpony gives a flying feather!' Which was quite a surprise to see from a show for little girls. But in the episode Testing Testing 1,2,3, when rainbow dash put something on Twilight's chair, it wasn't a whoppee cushion, it was a bicycle horn. I found that a little weird since there's nothing wrong with toilet humor as long as it's not against the show's charm, but I understand that's what the writers were afraid of doing. But still, MLP should still do some dark, scary episodes, or show a little blood, or have the characters go through psychological journeys. Something that we haven't seen MLP do before. Now that the show had matured along with the audience, now would be the better time. However, the writers should just do what they do best; write good stories for the characters we know and love. Have a bit of lore and world-building here and there. I would like to see a scary episode but now I realise I'm just being a bit too entitled. I think the writers are doing an excellent job all ready and we, as a fandom and community, shouldn't force the writers into making decisions that may ruin the show's charm and spirit. So I say carry on, Megan McCarthy! I have faith in you and all of the writers! (Salutes whilst crying liquid pride) (I wonder if Genndy Tartarofsky or Craig McCracken might join the writing staff later on? Hmmm...) But still, do you think MLP should play it safe or take a few risks every now and then?
