The Powerpuff Girls

He didn't become super pathetic until season 5 of the original show and onward, but even under Craig's pen HIM was still a pretty comical guy. He did jazzercise and beat up prank callers, became a member of the Beatles, ran an ihop, and planned to give the girls cavities, to name a few examples.

The only pure evil villain done in the original show was Professor Utonium's old roommate who tried cloning the girls.

I assume there weren't any another CMs because they would've been too dark for the series in general?

What about Speed Demon from Season 2?

Maybe Sedusa will get more screentime. I know “See Me, Feel Me, Gnome Me” was banned so that’s the reason they kept Sedusa bald in a later episode.

I mean, the series could get pretty dark, but at its core it is an action comedy, so the villains who got repeat appearances always blended comedy with menace. A lot of the reoccurring ones could serve any type of plot.

> What if HIM ends up being a Complete Monster in this new series?

Oh god no I hope not

Powerpuff girls isn't the kind of show that has pure evil characters like that

Tell that to Dick Hardly.

That guy exploded at the end of his first appearance. Because the shows recurring villains are the ones who are more flexible, can be menacing and comedic.

Even the heavily jokey guys like the Gangreen Gang have had moments of actual threat to them.

Yes, but imagine if one of the recurring villains was a CM. Regardless of any Laughably Evil qualities they have. (Think the Joker)

> Regardless of any Laughably Evil qualities they have.

then they wouldn't really be a powerpuff girls villain.

I doubt the Gangreen Gang would appear as Murdoc states that Ace is now in a desert selling hats.

the Gorillaz thing is something fun outside the cartoon,it has no canon implications on the show itself

They can just have the Gangreen Gang appear without Ace, explaining that he's touring with a band.

There is like,zero reason for Ace not to appear

There are many bands that have members quit and no replacement. Maybe there can be a replacement, someone named “Leader”?

Why would it work like that?

Do you think every time the Harlem Globetrotters perform, they have to explain what Scooby-Doo is up to?

Also, Ace is visibly older in the Gorillaz stuff he's in. The PPG revival will certainly not be a timeskip with the girls over. They made fun of that idea on the show itself.

No, but now that you mention it they totally should.

Ace is a cartoon. Everyone on the show is a cartoon and cartoons don’t age. Gorillaz is a cartoon band.

Didn't HIM become a total monster in that episode set five minutes into the future?

In 'Speed Demon' yeah,it was a one off episode where HIN won because The Powerpuff girls were'nt there to stop him

How do you know there’s no timeskip? Also, as I mentioned, Gorillaz and PPG are animated and the Globetrotters are a real team.

What on earth is this conversation about Ace and The Gorillaz and HIM being a Complete Monster?

What episode?

I blame Mojo Jojo!

I’m guessing “The City of Clipsville”.

x4

Because a reboot (It's not a revival. I don't know where that idea comes from.) would naturally not involve a timeskip.

Craig said in a tweet that the reboot will have bigger and longer story.
