He was a clown, that's enough to put him away.
What do you have against clowns anon ?
NTA but this was a good town until the clowns moved in. Now they just get drunk and beat up based mimes.
Go to Twitter there's plenty of em.
this was one of the strangest episodes of PPG, or at least one of the worst morals
Eh, if they had called the police they would have kicked his ass, then shot him or strangled him him to death. The powerpuff girls went easier on him than the cops would have and he actually got to go through due process. The only way the clown would have had it easier is if this was set in Uvalde TX.
The fact that he went to prison wasn't on the PPG. That's the work of the Townsville DA and Judge.
It's completely, deliberately immoral as a joke.
This. It's fricking funny because it set up expectations that it then suddenly eschewed.
On the one hand, /co seems to be slipping steadily into this moral-homosexualry christ-tard direction, but on the other, they still start threads about what you would do if an attractive character was your daughter.
I know /co contains multitudes, but I get the distinct impression this place exists just because people are looking for reasons to be outraged.
If you want to be mad about stupid shit, go to twitter.
Ignoring the obvious fact that it was played for laughs. It actually does have a really good moral that children should be taught.
That you can fall into "evil" through no real fault of your own. And that the justice system is meant to punish, not to rehabilitate. Thinking that people just randomly decide to be evil using their "free will", and that every evildoer deserves only the harshest punishment and that the hand of justice never makes errors. Is how children and invalids view the world. The 'joke' is essentially a mockery of how fools view justice. Where intentions don't matter and draconian punishment is dealt based only on actions committed.
Another thing it illustrates is that people don't take others perspectives. The PPG's didn't see everything that happened to Rainbow, they only saw a monster go on a rampage. The viewer occupies a special position and gets to see the entire picture of circumstance and intention. So when Rainbow gets thrashed at the end we see injustice, but from the PPG's perspective a fair retributive punishment was meted out for Rainbow's actions.
>get magically transformed into a monster in a freak chemical accident
>forced to do the exact opposite of what you lived your entire life for, causing suffering when you only ever wanted to bring joy
>finally get cured
>try to thank your saviors
>they snap all your fingers, break your nose, break your teeth, and send you to jail
it's not fair rainbros
He also didn't manage to hurt anyone. He just made them go catatonic until Bubbles reverted it all.
Yes. Even if he didnt turn evil he caused a traffic collision.
>get magically transformed into a monster in a freak chemical accident
If he didnt jaywalk he wouldnt be in that mess. He is in the wrong.
To be entirely fair, the girls weren't around for any of that. All they saw was an evil mime turn into a clown, for all they knew said clown became an evil mime on purpose and was going to start doing some evil shit, so they thought they had to act quick.
Future episode showed Rainbow out and about, so he probably got a plea deal once everyone involved was informed of the situation.
Yeah he performed at their birthday party, he couldn't have been that mad.
I dunno Him, it's entirely possible he harbored ill feelings that he nevertheless put aside out of professionalism.
I think I remember his evil form back in one of the episodes all the villains team up to attack the girls
Similarly, there's an episode of Courage where the villains team up with Eustace, including The Big Toe which would be physically impossible.
As a kid I was completely dumbfounded by the ending. I could not understand how this was the natural conclusion.
I appreciate it more now because it's just meant to be funny and I'm not a Mr. Enter-tier autist who hates "mean-spiritedness".
>it's just meant to be funny
But it's not funny. That's the problem.
It was funny to me when I was a kid because it makes you think that he will get away with his shit without getting hit. Sure he got corrupted or whatever but why did he get corrupted in the first place? Had to be his fault.
i laughed at the clown getting ridiculously destroyed.
Was The Sandman in the right too?
"For crying out loud Powerpuff girls did you have to break every single one of this mans fingers? How's he gonna wipe when he's on the john?"
It's okay, he's a clown. He makes a living getting hurt.
I read this in the mayor’s voice
Its just as fair when the girls were thrown in jail because of impostors, broke out to stop them and the mayor told them they had to go back for breaking out of jail.
"I'm serious."
Beating the absolute shit out of Mojo Jojo over candy was pretty bad but Rainbow was bleached and then fixed up with the power of music, back to normal, then clobbered. They beat up a helpless clown for what he did under the influence of corruption.
the original ppg show didn't have morals, it was by design. did no one see the pilot where they eat the villain.
There's a reason why everyone hates the shit out of this episdoe. The reasoning is extremely stupid
It's literally one of the more popular episodes due to the song
It's Townvile jail he'll be out in a week
Wasn't it because Cartoon Network told the animation team that they had to punish him or something like that?
He should’ve worn one of those stripped black and white prison uniforms for extra irony.
It was based
it only makes sense outside the universe of the show, where it subverts viewer expectations and maybe causes an awkward chuckle
creatives of the era saw bland as worse than uncomfortable
A better subversion would've been if the girls let him go but it turns out he actually was evil the whole time.
It also makes sense in universe because
>the girls weren't around for any of that.
The PPG arent omniscient
Holy shit finally some PPG discussion?
Went to jail awaiting his court date out of principle instead of paying bail. He'll get a slap on the wrist in the Townsville courts
How much money did he make in the lawsuit?
If getting your clothes splashed with bleach turns you into a rampaging, reality warping horror, realistically the government is not gonna let you just walk away. Rainbow's lucky he didn't end up in a lab or something.
>no officer I swear it was the bleach I drank that made me kill all those people, therefore I'm innocent
do you seriously think that logic holds?
Even Craig himself said he didn't deserve it
Realistically what would happen courtwise if someone became a horrific reality warping monster due to corruption from a foreign substance in the manner like this episode?
that heavily depends on how much money and influence they have. If they can afford good lawyers and seem like a rich white dude, they can probably beat it. If they're poor and/or any sort of minority, they'll be lucky to escape the death sentence.
whats the clown's chances?
They're more than likely to get disappeared than put through the system. Scientists would be foaming at the mouth to figure out how they tick.
The episode with the spooky guy who they just left in his spooky coffin for years after his accidental death then he came back as a zombie hunting little girls down was le fricked up
That's for his lawyer to argue. Also remember that few people likely knew of his origins; for all they knew, he was just some random nutbar rampaging. Which is literally a daily occurrence in townsville, so cut the citizens and the PPG some slack.
>Wasn't he just another victim?
How?
Rainbow the Clown obviously loves to bring joy and laughter to people, he devoted his life to it. He got turned into a horrible twisted monster that is his exact opposite. Pretty much the same thing that happened to all his victims is the same thing that happened to him. He's more like patient zero of a virus than an actual criminal
>He's more like patient zero of a virus than an actual criminal
If that was true, he would've frozen in place like them instead of going around actively spreading it.
As a kid i wasn't sure if he was turned evil or just saw what he can.do now and went all incel shooter "now i got the power and all will pay for my misdeeds" type shit.
As i grow older i lean towards the "bleach corrupts everything it touches, the clown just reacts different than other victims"
Rainbow the clown is an anti-masker anti-vaxxer anti-science dipshit. The PPG were too soft with him.
I wanna the court case where Rainbow states to the court his position as a certified professional clown is backed up by years of hard work and passion.
Being a member of the court of law in Townsville must be insane
"Ladies and Gentleman of the Court Room, my client known to many as Rainbow the Clown in the early afternoon of the monochrome incident was just as much a victim to it as we all were. When that tanker carrying several hundred gallons of bleach splashed over my client, it was not through his choice that he became the monster we all remember, and yet our local heroines, sworn to protect our grand city from many, many threats, the cute little girls known as the Powerpuff girls viciously attacked my client AFTER he was knowingly no longer a threat, Exhibit A) a photo of his right hand and all his broken fingers. Now Mr. Rainbow, can you state to the court how long it took for your dominant hand to fully heal from these injuries?
"12 weeks sir."
12 WEEKS! Thats 3 months without the use of his dominant hand! Unable to blow up balloons, write with a pencil, play instruments, and a whole host of other hand focused actions. And did the Poweruff girls visit him ONCE during his stay in the hospital to make amends for their gross brutality? Mr Rainbow in this list showing all your visitors during your stay in Townsville Hospital do the Powerpuff Girls come up once?
"No sir"
I rest my case.
Rainbow The Clown was a pedophile rapist sex offender Nazi Marxist KKK member who tore the lips off of children. Him removing color from Townsville was just the beginning of his evil plan. He deserves the chair.
Nah
