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 reboot. Sadly, the trio was flanderized in the 2016 reboot.

Why They Suck Now

 * 1) Cartoon Network did an abrupt voice actor change in them, especially Bubbles, and even in the Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese dubs.
 * 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 a "girly", psychotic, annoying, goody-two-shoes crybaby who lacks any real character development.
 * 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. Despite being a tomboy, she is often considered the Butt-Monkey of the group, due to how she is often mistreated by both Blossom and Bubbles. While in the case in the original, it was at least fairly rare, it happens in the majority in this show.
 * 6) The girls did a bunch of outdated memes in the first season; most notably when Bubbles said the "No Me Gusta!"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 Bubbles even said the outdated “OMG!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) 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".
 * 8) *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.
 * 9) *What makes this even worse is this episode was written by an actual pedophile named Julia Vickerman. In fact, Vickerman herself created a better series, 12 Forever.
 * 10) Their voices are extremely irritating, especially Buttercup's. Their singing is also bad.
 * 11) Their show killed The Powerpuff Girls franchise.

Redeeming 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 the original.
 * 4) They used to be great with their  1998 counterparts.

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.
