Now that Craig is back on the helm, will the new show finally address what the hell happened to the Rowdyruff Boys?

doesn't he hate them most of all?
Apparently not. The 2016’s writers, however, definitely hated them.
PPG Rule was a lot more wackier than the original series, I hope this revival is more faithful
>they are not independent characters
Every fricking time McCracken has to say stupid fricking shit like this. Is everyone who worked on CN some mental moron except for Mr Warburton?
I mean, PPG rule was already overstuffed action-wise
If Criag couldn't fit them into plot for it to make sense and still work, that's perfectly understandable
That is very understandable, but instead of saying that he goes on and says moronic shit like that making him sound like a mental moron.
Faust, Genddy and many others did the same thing. When they open their mouth to justify something they always come off as shallow idiots.
Faust wrote on her DeviantArt that she isn't the true creator of PPG and Foster's Home and to stop giving her credit for those shows when it's her husband's credit. Instead of sounding like what I just wrote here she instead comes off like she hated working on those 2 shows and resents Craig for having his own shows because she has none and she did not enact her vision on Foster's and PPG.
Next thing they'll tell me "Oh no the first thing is totally what I meant"
Why are animators so fricking moronic with expressing themselves through words?
They're autists anon
You sound like an autist yourself.
Imo, you're just autistic. No one thinks what you think they think, so you're the wrong one here.
I mean they're literally just gender swaps of the girls
Yeah but then I can use his words against him and say: So the PPG are just Professor Utonium's lackeys, right Craig? the PPG are an extension of PU, Craig?
>So the PPG are just Professor Utonium's lackeys, right Craig?
Kinda.
He is their father, "lackey" doesn't cover it
I mean the RRB were spesifically created on purpose by mojo for a spesific purpose of defeating the ppg. The prof didn't intend to make the girls, it was an accident.
The "all my inventions were accidents" was a retcon.
It's literally in the opening of every episode you dumb homosexual. He was trying to make perfect little girls not the kick ass girls.
>The "all my inventions were accidents" was a retcon.
Can you not read? Do you not know what "all" means?
He said "independant villians", by which he could mean they don't have potential as antagonists on their own. They're just little boys, after all.
Man the writers of that show hate action to the point I wonder if they even liked the original at all since it was extremely violent
The 2016 was such trash Jesus
>the clown episode
Them just completely beating the shit out of him at the end for no reason was hilarious
That always made me sad
It was because of executive mandates that required at least one fight per episode.
Wow thats quite the difference from the 2016 series
am I the only one who thinks this tweet is pretentious as frick?
yes because there's nothing pretentious about it
How?
>Craig sees the RRB as just an extension of Mojo
>Has no desire to actually build their relationship with him
Sad. They could do a lot with Mojo acting like the boys are his loyal minions when in reality they don't give a frick and only do what he says when it's in their interest, with the occasional show of father-son affection.
Does anyone remember Rowdyruff.net? Yeah, they were so popular back then one of the biggest Powerpuff Girl fandom websites was dedicated to them. I'm sure he meant for them to be puppets early on, but he's known for fricking years what they mean to the fans. He was cold and nonchalant towards us back then, too.
Oh people remember
That’s because a lot of RR fans are turboautists who mary sue the frick out of the RRB, Brick especially, and ship them with the girls
Wrong. It was the ones who HATED the Rowdyruff Boys who self-inserted themselves by creating their own puffed male characters.
Maybe nostalgia has softened him on them
Time shifts views
They were already being milked to death by the last seasons of the original show as a ratings trap.
>They were already being milked to death
>5 episodes, not counting cameos (7 if you take into account that 2 of the 5 are two-parters)
Not sure if "milked to death" is the right statement, mate.
>the last seasons of the original show as a ratings trap
Though the ratings trap part is undeniable.
Yeah there could have been more done with them.
>reboot
>not a sequel
Who cares it'll just retread everything that made the original good, except worse.
Craig has stated that he's picking up where he left off, so it probably won't be a retread I imagine.
Think they will be in Elementary school now?
So disregarding everything after Forced Kin?
I mean is there really much that needs to be directly ignored?
That infamous episode with the Justice Friends, probably. Was that a Savino-era episode, though?
I think so
Even if that was canon, why would they ever need to bring it up?
Yeah exactly, very little would need to be directly ignored
Honestly I skipped that one because it sounded like feminist bullshit.
I liked the episode, it was funny
That was like Season 3 or 4, so its was a McCracken era episode.
I assume he meant PPG Rule so probably not.
Not a bad idea. I think they could do both (have them start off as anti-villains only for them to become anti-heroes later on) but if they'd rather keep them as full-on antagonists then that would certainly be a better direction for them.
Or they could adapt Déjà View and have the Powerpunk Girls take over the roles of being the evil counterparts to the PPG, kek
The Powerpunk Girls script was meant to be an episode but it got shifted to the comic. I'd like to see them show up in animation.
>Powerpunk Girls
they should've been in the series too instead of just being a comic character. also powerpunk blossom with crazy eyes makes me feel things
Hell yeah! I'd love to the Powerpunk Girls in the show proper.
Same
Yes
Make them be voiced by the 2016 cast and it'd be kino.
Reboot can mean a sequel sometimes now too, like the recent Halloween films were called both reboot and sequel
>tfw used to fap to rowdyruff.net fanart ppgs
i wonder if king moonraiser is actually dead
>mfw all the RRB fanart I looked at and fics I read when I was a kid come flashing back to me
The cringe...it flows through me...it gives me power...
The website is there and SOMEONE got it to work with modern browsers. It used to need Java to do the audio on the home page.
Main issue with the boys is that they are very flat as characters, they are mostly boring. If they had more nuance they'd be more enjoyable, but then I guess they wouldn't be simple villains
I would kinda like to see them become Anti-Heroes ngl
Could do some interesting stuff with that. Even just have one of them defect, cause some drama, etc. But Mccracken is old school, so even if something like that did occur I imagine it would follow status quo rules and at the end of the episode things would be normal. Besides that, as per
He sees them as Mojo puppets so, yeah, hopes aren't high for them
I could see that.
One thing I wonder about is if they turn the boys "good" if they would introduce the Powerpunk Girls as new "evil" PPGs.
What I never understood was why they were so underused? Even before their revival, they were easily among the top 5 most popular villains... why not take advantage of that?
If anything, the reason they are bad is because "little boys are mischievous and chaotic" trope.
In the flashforward, they turned from hyperactive to lazy, just like boys usually do once hormones hit them.
If they could play into that, and make them fight villains under the excuse of "we just want to fight", it would work just fine.
>Even before their revival, they were easily among the top 5 most popular villains... why not take advantage of that?
I guess Craig just didn't feel like he knew what to do with them, or didn't have any good stories for them.

Pretty good idea ngl
Realistically they'd just abandoned him, even PPGZ made the RRBs ditch Mojo because they saw him like a joke.
Pretty sure that happened in the original too
Make them anti-villains instead, the boys will be boysiest. Remember the movie where the girls accidentally destroy Townsville playing tag? The RRB should be that, but oblivious or blase to the problems they create.
Seems like a cool idea, full on heroics doesn't fit them
The two fanfics on that site set up a RRB series. It was a good idea.
Neat!
>make them anti heroes
>make them anti villains
You fanfiction rr.net homos are the reasons Craig didn’t bring them back in the first place. They should stay villains.
Then again, them being villains and sticking around doesn’t make sense because they’re too much of a threat to be handled without destroying them, so maybe having them lose interest in destroying the girls and just fricking around is the way to go.
I really don’t want to see them being good guys, it just doesn’t make sense.
I do want to see the powerpunk girls in animation, though, and maybe their boy alts
I mean, we did see in an episode that was a flashforward to their teenage years that the 3 did eventually grow out of their villain stage and became adjusted to normal life so it’s not impossible
I mean I could see it, like I feel it would fit. Boys that age can be kinda jerks without being outright "evil" especially if they don't have good family lives.
The RRB were treated a level above Bunny, funny how even 2016 treated Bunny's incarnation better.
The fricking squirrel was treated better as a 4th member of the PPG than the purple powerpuff girl from the first 2 seasons.
Bunny can never come back, she would be deemed offensive now
would be nice to see more of them. having them be the anti-hero ppg rivals can be great. also i cant believe the RowdyRuff. net website is still up.
It be better to see them aged up and gangbang aged up ppg one by one
Chris Savino already did that.
Guys. It's still there!
http://www.rowdyruff.net/index1.shtml
I just checked earlier today and was shocked to discover the same
The audio works. You just gotta click first or set the permissions.
COOL
Wtf? How old is this??? Nice find anon
Man its been around since forever
Do you remember the wars between rr.net and ppgworld?
No sadly I was a little too late for that
Sounds hilarious tho
PPGWorld tried to take RRB.NET's site down. Every time, it backfired.
Fricking lol
Why did they try that?
They got SomethingAwful to raid RR/NREt forums. Then the goons found links to ppgworld and then raided their forums, too. Moonraiser got the forums restored in a day. PPGWorld forums were offline for days.
Man oldschool online drama is so fun
Yeah, way less localized to like 5 main sites so things were more tribal and nutty
Yeah it was a wilder time
I don't remember and I browsed the site and the forums around 2002~
Oh nice. So one thing I gotta say that people probably forget, with all the weird and sometimes cringe ppg x rrb shipping fanart, on a technicality, aren't they all related? So wouldn't it be incest since Mojo technically created the girls and also made the boys as well. Sooo all the lewd fanart of them is incest mmm..
Yeah its one of those things thats best to not think too hard about
If you say so anon XD
D-Did anyone browse the forums?
No reason... I wasn't an active user or anything.. ahahah ah hah aha.
Yes.
God I recognize all those names. GOD. Especially Pixel.
I usually hung out in Insanity. There's a few users I used to think were so fricking cool...
>missed on all of this for being a filthy zoomer
a-at lest we a million genders to choose from...
Wait aren't zoomers too young to use this site
No kids born in 2004 are old enough to use Cinemaphile. And the oldest zoomers are 25.
>And the oldest zoomers are 25.
Thats me
>BOOMER
>BRICK
>BITCH
I didn't even knew they came back after their first episode
Really?
Your country must have cut some seasons or episodes
They came back in the post 00s seasons. Their episodes afterwards, were not very good.
The episode where Him brings them back is legit, 20 minutes of them beating the shit out of the powerpuff girls and nothing else. If that's your thing go for it
The 2016 reboot wasn't a reboot in the traditional sense of the word. It was a continuation of the original series.
Yeah this new one will probably be the same, a sequel called a reboot
I mean I want the RRB back but I also don't want the reboot to be plot or character driven I mostly just want to watch little girls with super powers fight to the death a lot
So like the original?
Ton of RRB art here: http://www.rowdyruff.net/c_frames.htm
Thanks
The anime had them, the reboot removed them alongside Sedusa and Miss Bellum and only brought them back for a 3 seconds gag as a final FRICK YOU to them for some reason, I don't expect Craig to bring them, Sedusa or Bellum back without making some huge changes to the characters since nowadays he's a much of a SJW as his wife and American animation in general is really tame now not to offend anyone
By that logic they'd be even more prominent in the reboot because they'd be perfect vehicles for the writers to include morals against toxic masculinity
Doubt it, The 2016 reboot was full fo people with that mindset and they still erased them, besides Craig and his wife apologized for the feminist villain in the original series multiple times as it was "harmful to real feminists" so if they do keep Bellum and Sedusa around I expect them to at least heavily redesign both
Was Z any good? Or was it just Peecure: PPG Edition?
It was more like those 90s comedic Magical Girl shows like Akazukin ChaCha and Tonde Buurin since it was mostly comedy with the very occasional serious moment
I always thought their designs in the anime were pretty good
>I don't expect Craig to bring them, Sedusa or Bellum back without making some huge changes to the characters since nowadays he's a much of a SJW as his wife and American animation in general is really tame now not to offend anyone
Don't think so, Kid Cosmic S3 looked the most without libshit in it
Why do Craig has a tendency to show all strong males as evil jerks, but strong girls are always nice and heroic? The sole exception is Dominator I think.
Eduardo
will it be animated in flash?
Are the Rowdyrock Boys ever going to be canon?
I love this one
Seeing them crossdressing in PPGZ was really weird.
If Craig fricks up, can we cancel him for racism for not adding Bliss?
How can he possibly frick up?
Only if they resign her. That blue hair especially has got to go.
Bliss will have to be in the new ppg or he will be called racist. I hope they just change her origin she can exist just don't make the professor create her
What if they make her big and moronic and she explodes at the end?
Go frick yourself """Jared"""
Even SJWs are aware that Bliss's addition was entirely forced for diversity, making her existence even more offensive.
Like everything in 2016 PPG there is no lib or right that liked this thing, even Bliss had just soke false fans trying to shill her but were clearly saying "could have been better" and a lot of redesigns
Wow finally a PPG thread. What did you guys think of Speed Demon and the first RRB episode?
I'm confused to whether that was actual Chemical X Mojo found, or if the boys are just made with literal shit.
Both are King Moonraisers favorite episodes.
>they bring the boys back
>"Ok Boomer" becomes a running gag
you know it will happen, and I hate it
