Getting a Charlie's Angels 2019 vibe from this.

The leaked scripts, fake or not, are a bit controversial to put it mildly, I mean the Professor being an abusive partner to Miss Bellum? Mojo Jojo being two separate people and father and son no less? Buttercup being a CW version of Shane from The L Word?

The script is likely a fake, but if not, oy. I wrote it as allegedly for a reason but... This is for the same network that took ARCHIE and made Riverdale... I mean, from what I got of Riverdale, there at least was some context to some changes. I’m taking the opinion that this “leaked” script is faker than spray tan at a wrestling show.

I mentioned it before but I’m really wondering if they had an original concept in mind but rewrote it as Powerpuff Girls because they wanted to make money off of familiar IP or they just want to be edgy or something Like how they decided to make a horror movie with The Banana Splits

Someone allegedly leaked the original Pilot script and if this is true... hooooly crap is it bad. Just... let's just make the edgiest garbage imaginable... I think Snyder would even think some of this shit goes too far. Getting a real vibe from this.

It'd be pretty especially lazy and stereotypical to have Buttercup be a lesbian if you wanted one of the three to be, especially since she's the only one of the three I can think of that ever showed any interest in boys in the original show. Why not Blossom, that'd be different, plus it'd be kind of a firm f***-you to the self-insert nonsense in the reboot.

EDIT: Also, who DMCA’s a f***ing script?

This is like only the second time I ever personally saw someone get DMCAd for sharing text. First time was all the people who got hit with them for sharing hilariously bad excerpts from Ready Player Two.

Did the CW go after whoever leaked the pilot script for Superman and Lois? (which was accurate)

Goodness gracious the CW is an absoloute shit show and when The Flash ends so does that network because the Arrowverse has propped up that network for years and when it is done so are they.
They just turned down the PainKiller spin off and just blah every single wrong choice they could make they seem to just be happy to make.

First time was all the people who got hit with them for sharing hilariously bad excerpts from Ready Player Two. With the RPT stuff, I can get that because it was a book coming out that had leaked copies and, like, looked like people were taking text from the book. I have Celtx so I can go into that right now, write some terrible bits of dialogue and say that's a script I got leaked and that'd apparently be believable. Like, hey man, if another source says otherwise, I'll admit I'm wrong but that doesn't seem like that's happened right now.

Mojo Jojo being two separate people and father and son no less? Buttercup being a CW version of Shane from The L Word? I mean, for all her shenanigans, Shane is pretty likable. Those characters in that script don't come across as such, let alone resemble the characters they're based on.

My usual thought process with any of these reboot/sequel/adaptation whatever series/movies is eh who cares there's probably an audience for it and I can just ignore it. But this just seems particularly...idk, gross? Mean spirited? I hate everything about this and hope it flops.

What I don't get is if you wanted to make a live-action Powerpuff Girls why not, like... Make it fun? It was for the most part a generally pretty upbeat, easygoing show. Why does a show that had an episode entirely consisting of them playing pretend because it was raining outside need an adaptation that reveals that the original is just a bunch of bullshit propaganda put out by their abusive monster of a dad? I mean, yeah, the original has some dark episodes - they're often held up as some of the best ones in the show - but it was never really grim.
