Jared Shapiro is a recurring character in the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls. He is Blossom's romantic interest and crush who is infamous for his lack of personality and almost ruining the Brick x Blossom relationship but mostly because of his resemblance to writer and voice actor Jake Goldman leading to accusations of Jared being a romantic stand-in.

He is voiced by Jake Goldman.

Personality

The show doesn't represent any personality traits from Jared except for the fact that he's a nerd and hopeless romantic for the only red headed Powerpuff heroine, Blossom.

Why He's Not Worthy to Be Blossom's Boyfriend

1. His relationship with Blossom feels very forced, cringeworthy, dull, and bland.
   • The interactions between him and Blossom are very awkward.
   • Blossom is frequently seen having bizarre and awful fantasies about him. For example, look at this picture.
2. He's nothing but a satellite love interest who shows no personality whatsoever except the fact that he's a nerd stereotype and love interest of Blossom.
3. His design is very mediocre. His head is ridiculously big compared to his tall, preadolescent body, which looks like a disproportionately ugly Mii character.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Jake Goldman does a passable job voicing him.
2. He did express his genuine admiration for Blossom in the form of a bouquet of flowers, which is admittedly sweet of him to do that to her considering the fact that he has a crush on her.

Trivia

• Fans of the original series and other media have criticized the Blossom/Jared relationship in the 2016 incarnation, partially due to his lack of established character but mostly because of his resemblance to writer & voice actor Jake Goldman leading to accusations of Jared being a romantic stand-in. The latter has since then been debunked by an interview with Jean Woo.
• He loosely resembles Andrew from the adult Netflix-Original series Big Mouth.
