Ugh, the Powerpuff Girls reboot, before I get into the review proper, let me tell you everything wrong with this reboot.
- The girls voices being recast
- The character design of the characters look more like characters like Clarence
- The lack of crime fighting and humor
- The lack of Narrator
- The Professor turning stupid
and worst of all
- The memes.
I don't even think this is the Powerpuff Girls, this is the Powderpuff Girls, but, I'm not hear to rant, I'm here to review this sort of hour long episode, "Power of Four," like I promised in my "Happy New Year" review.
The story is that the girls "supposedly" fourth sister had been missing for ten years, and surprise of all surprises, Bubbles plays with her while she's invisible, but yet, Blossom and Buttercup are oblivious about her existence. It wasn't until Earth Plow comes out of nowhere and destroys the people at the movie theater, and that is when the fourth sister reveals herself, her name was Blisstina Francesca Francia Mariam Alicia Utonium, but let's call her Bliss for short.
As the episode goes on, we learn about Bliss' backstory and how much it contradicts the original Powerpuff Girls origins, stating that the Professor had created her to get even with another professor who created the perfect little boy. The kicker, The Professor used Chemical W. But anyways, while the girls show Bliss around and try to get her into the superhero spirit, Mih (pronounced "Me") comes along and seduces with Bliss, until after a bit of shape-shifting, it was revealed that it was Him the whole time! Kind of an interesting plot twist. If you watched Shadow Streak's reviews of "Secret Swapper of Doom" and "Electric Buttercup" which will be linked at the very end, he said that he wanted Him to do something truly evil instead of these bland unfortunate schemes that never went anywhere, not this time. They made Him do something evil for once, he fuses with her, transforms into this gigantic monster, and fights with the girls in a battle of good against evil.
The special was okay, it didn't blow my mind or anything, but it wasn't that bad. But, let me bring out my complaints. Tom Kenny is never heard in this episode, I mean, I understand you got rid of the narrator in the second season here, but that's no excuse to under use Tom here, and when Tom Kenny isn't in any of these episodes, it's just the girls monologue-ing to themselves, it loses a lot of the charm. And if you don't believe me, the best parts of the reboot are the parts that Tom Kenny is in. I guess it would've been too much work to have Tom Kenny in session for the Power of Four. Also, I never like these news reporters that you see in that screencap, they're so captain obvious, and they just seem to happy to even be in any danger. Whatever happened to Stanley Whitfield? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Bliss was voiced by Olivia Olson, yep, the singer of "Happy New Year."
Okay, all nitpicking aside, as we predicted, Bliss leaves Townsville to fix Saturn and put it back in its place, and it's certainly likely that she won't be coming back, unless of course, there is a season three, but there's still no word about it during the writing of this review. Let's just hope that season three doesn't happen, my only hope is that the Powderpuff Girls reboot can end relatively soon and at least stop making reboots in general. Because the original Powerpuff Girls show was awesome, but now, this reboot is just so bad that they even made twerking a thing on this show, not even joking. Oh, and one more thing.
"Let the fight begin" says random girl. Anime William Shatner method acting, council gives......100%.
