yeah, thinking about this it was like the worst parts of the Charmed Reboot and Riverdale mixed together...

That "leaked script" looked faker than fake.

The guy who tweeted the DCMA filing proving the script was real has now deleted that tweet also.

Honestly the biggest clear error is killing off Mojo Jojo; him doing grim dark dialogue but in his redundant speech pattern would have me watching every week.
"I've walked in shadow my entire life... which is to say my particular existence is one defined with a lack of brightness as my time on this Earth is one filled with darkness and not light. For if you were to say that I, Mojo Jojo, am the individual who has experienced just the shade and who has not felt luminescence, you would be correct, because I Mojo Jojo, am the person that has only known blackness as opposed to glow for the period in which I have been alive."

I forgot Diablo Cody was on this project. Yeah, that was the definitely the real script. Reads just like her.

Shadow Streak, who reviewed every episode of the reboot, did a couple of streams reading through the script. It's so much worse than those snippets were making it sound which is saying a lot. Language warning.

Language warning. I'm halfway through this script, and the fact that Chloe Bennet read this and said "I'm down" tells you everything you need to know about future of Agents of SHIELD in the MCU.

I find it amazing how the Professor is a condescending, money-and-clout-chasing asshole who does things as awful as telling his girlfriend of nine years he doesn't consider her part of his family, and he's still nowhere near as unlikable as Bubbles is. This just drives her character into the ground to an incredible degree.

Maybe if they’re gonna reshoot this how about make it a completely new original story and remove the PPG names and all references to the show/franchise and rename it. Some story about some adults that were young superheroes against their will and regret living it. That could work if it wasn’t PPG. Just do it like Watchmen which was meant to use existing IPs like Capt Atom, Blue Beetle, The Question etc but got rewritten into a new story.

I think even if this starred a bunch of OCs this script would still be completely unsalvageable. Partially because there isn't a likable character to be found (probably the closest is Buttercup, but really just because she's the only one who seems to even vaguely care about helping people), partially because it's just really stupid without seeming to have any real clue what it's trying to say, partially because it's so out of touch it makes Harambe and fidget spinner jokes.

Yeah even if this wasn’t the PPG that script was still just terribly written on all fronts

When he got to the part where the girls are talking about (I think) Bubbles’ birthday party, I LOLed but I was also grossed out at the same time. Like, wha?
I don’t blame that chat for going apes***.
