What does Yea Forums think about the Powerpuff Girls movie?

I'm a filthy zoomer so I was too young to watch this film in theatres, were there really boys who were too embarrassed to watch what people thought was a "girls movie"?

The Dexter one about going to the future is way better. I hate that people only talk about the PPG one.

Yeah, boys weren't conditioned to be so feminine yet.

I saw it in theatres because I had the sister excuse and I loved it, it left a real impact on me.

Watching it years later and it holds up extremely well. People don't like that it doesn't feel like the show but what it accomplishes is just as good.

I think the movie was in my country for like a week only. I remember looking at the posters at the theaters and thinking "who the fuck will go see this movie?"

This. Imagine that movie with a bigger budget.

Gennedy was always the better director.

Outside of the animation in some places, it feels exactly like the show IMO.

You need to rewatch both.

Would've been better served being about something else. Between the theme song of the show and the episode revealing Mojo created the girls, we already knew the major beats of the film before it even came out.

>PPG all around is probably Craig's weakest work.
That's impossible, because Foster's exists.

>film with high stakes and Him as the main villain.
Probably work better as a sequel. Dive deeper into "Him" origin, while at the same time go more in depth of what Chemical X actually is. Show that Him believe that Chemical X will resurface in the girls personality and make them evil.

Get over it Hewlett did pic related for his boomer shits and giggles

>the most generic superhero origin story ever.
The difference is, the PPG are little girls so you feel bad for them when they're hated and feared, or when they're afraid or hurt. "Generic" would be a movie where a grown-ass man whines about how it's HARD being a superhuman, but when it's little, emotionally-fragile, basically newborn kids, it's a little easier to swallow, for me anyway.

And, again, this goes back to what I said about how Yea Forums doesn't know what it's like to see a kid in peril or cry and feel empathy, they just go "Wow that FUCKING kid, I'd beat that brat shitless for showing emotional vulnerability lol"

>Well rounded cast of characters that bounce off eachother with enjoyable dynamics
>Cardboard cut-out personality superheroes, whose interactions can be algorithm generated
PPG is bland as hell mate.
>inb4 'b-but Bloo's so mean-spirited!'
'kay, and he more often than not get's comeuppance for it.

>What does Yea Forums think about the Powerpuff Girls movie?
Meh

>It didn’t get good until Mojo and his monkeys attack, and that’s like the last third of the film.
That was the only great part in the movie.

Dexter movie was awesome, shame it's not well remembered due to being released on TV.

Autism. PPG is clearly Craig's strongest show.

>DUDE HIM IS HARDCORE AND A MATURE VILLAIN BECAUSE HE'S LIKE SCARY AND A DEMON FOR MATURE VIEWERS SUCH AS MYSELF
>DUDE WHAT IF HIM HAD A NEEDLESSLY CONVOLUTED ORIGIN TYING HIM INTO THE GIRLS, EVEN THOUGH MOJO JOJO ALREADY HAS THAT
>DUDE WHAT IF WE TEASE THAT THE GIRLS WILL TURN EVIL BUT THEN THEY DON'T, BUT WHAT IF THEY DO?
Fuck off with this edgy, mid-00s-internet-fanfic, predictable anime bullshit, this is why your bitch-ass is posting on a Laotian canoe-sanding board and not making cartoons.

Nobody fuckin' cares where HIM came from, he's a fuckin' demon, he comes from Hell, they can't say that cuz it's a kid show, actually EXPLAINING his origin would require some contrived bullshit to make him seem LESS Satanic, not more, to avoid freaking out parents, and remove the cartoony mystique he has.

Like, you wouldn't fucking ask for a Cuphead prequel cuz "they never explained where Mr. Dice comes from", or "Why was the Devil in the 1935 short 'Good Little Monkeys', did he create the monkeys??? Were they made out of his evil essence????" no you fucking idiot, he's goddamn Satan, he goes around tempting do-gooders because. Literally, using The Devi as your villain EXCUSES you from having to explain why he's messing with the heroes.

That's what I felt when I watched it as well. They're kids, the whole appeal that makes PPG stand out as it's own thing is that they're kindergarten girls with superpowers. I do think that besides the climax with the monkey invasion, the scenes I really enjoyed were with the Professor being a caring parent and getting used to the loops their powers threw him for.

I still think they should've used the original series of events for the girls sneaking out at night to build Mojo's observatory. They're lying to the Professor and thus he ends up inadvertently lying for them when the police hound him about it. It made his disappointment and "I thought you were good" line carry more weight.

I didn't know that before, that actually would have lent more weight to that subplot. I wonder if they made them cut it for time, or cuz they were worried it'd make the girls look bad.

I love that

So what ever happened to the other monkeys

I never forgot this scene. It's pretty bizarre seeing normally non-threatening bad guys made scary by a high movie budget.

Despite the mental illness I'm sure.
