So I put on my best girl voice to read the PPG leaked pilot through Act 2 (half an hour through the episode) on the Critical Weeb Theory server. It's really, really terrible, but also not as bad as you think? 🧵On twitter.com

By that I mean, it's not well written at all, but it's not too far off from being good enough for the CW as seeing the leaked screenshots in isolation lead me to believe. It's basically like, a worse than average episode of RiverdalePermalink On twitter.com

My biggest gripe right now is that the writing isn't saying... anything? It seems they never got past the premise of "let's do gritty Powerpuff Girls for 16-30 year olds".Permalink On twitter.com

The show could be about trauma, power, family, abuse, whatever. It has superficial nods to all of these but it doesn't treat anyone one idea with earnesty or originalityPermalink On twitter.com

Buttercup is my favorite character, but almost by default, since everyone else is flat and unpleasant to be around. She was the kinda tomboyish one in the original show so now she's a lesbian and she let's you know she's a lesbian by saying words like "compulsory heterosexuality"Permalink On twitter.com

and fucking GIRLS because she likes GIRLS and HATES DRESSES. It's kinda homophobic but Buttercup is the only character that realizes she's in a dog shit pilot script. Mojo JoJo's son Jojo is like a Josh Howley type politician. And he had a line I kinda liked but otherwise cringePermalink On twitter.com

I feel like I'm teasing out a "point" that could be good analysis but I'm not close enough to tell what that point is. I also feel some comparisons to INVINCIBLE. So I'll keep practicing girl voice and we'll finish soonPermalink On twitter.com
