The Powerpuff Girls (2016)

Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are a fictional animated trio and titular characters of the American animated television series The Powerpuff Girls and its mh:terribletvshows:The Powerpuff Girls (2016). Sadly, the trio has been flanderized in the 2016 reboot.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Cartoon Network did an abrupt voice actor change in them (especially Bubbles, same in Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese dub) (except Italian (they didn't change), Japanese (sounds more like original)).
 * 2) The Girls were severely flanderized in this incarnation:
 * 3) * Blossom is practically nowadays an overreacting, neurotic nerd who suffers from OCD, and is often your stereotypical, bratty, mean-spirited leader.
 * 4) * Bubbles is now just a "girly", psychotic, and annoying girl who lacks any real character development and she is basically at times your whiny, crybaby, yet goody-two-shoes character.
 * 5) * Buttercup is nowadays nothing more than a complete bully (which doesn't stay true to her name) who cares mostly about butt jokes (because her name has "butt" in it) and is practically your stereotypical unlikable tomboy.
 * 6) The girls did a bunch of outdated memes in the first season; most notably when Bubbles said the "No Me Gusta!" meme as seen in "Tiara Trouble", and the Mojo Jojo Meme Maker. Bubbles even said the outdated “OMG! Yaaaas!” phrase.
 * 7) Buttercup, despite being a tomboy is often considered the Butt-Monkey of the group, due to how she is often mistreated by both Blossom, and Bubbles, and while this was the case in the original it was at least fairly rare, but happens in the majority in this show.
 * 8) Two words: Child sexualization. Blossom was given a "love interest" who's rather too old and she's frequently seen having guilty fantasies about said "love interest".
 * 9) *Blossom and Bubbles also twerk as seen in Painbow (specifically this scene). This was thankfully cut in the Turkish dub of the aforementioned episode. However, this was due to Allegro controlling them.
 * 10) *What makes this even worse is the episode being written by an actual pedophile named Julia Vickerman. In fact, Vickerman herself created a better series, 12 Forever.
 * 11) Their singing is bad.
 * 12) Their voices are extremely irritating, especially Buttercup's.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The three were at least given some more development, such as giving them new superpowers that allow them to project energy and manipulate it into various entities.
 * 2) Bubbles and Buttercup are more tolerable in Seasons 2-3.
 * 3) Their redesigns are prettier than original.
 * 4) They used to be great with their 1998 counterparts.
 * 5) Their new voices can be cuter than the original and when they're singing.

Trivia

 * They could possibly be 10 years old as told they had five picture days (picture days happen once a year), yet their appearances haven’t changed.
