    Warner execs wanting more brand crossover is my guess.

    Sounds like an interesting take on the PPG, but I can’t imagine the charm of the animated series will translate to a live action setting. Just feels like it wouldn’t work unless it had a completely different tone

    Premise reminds me of that fan made Power Rangers short film from 2015 where the characters have become adults who are like, tangled up in organised crime & doing coke

    I know there was about a zero percent chance of ever happening, but I wish that that could’ve materialized as a larger project.

    Blossom is a homocide detective who refuses to use her powers since she accidentally killed her partner in a hostage negotiation gone wrong. Bubbles is a struggling stand up comedian and single mom with her shit mostly together. Blossom is a full on heroin addict and her sisters haven’t seen her in three years leading up to the pilot episode. It’s revealed mid-season that the professor passed away 10 years ago in a laboratory accident while attempting to produce an “antidote”/reversal agent to Chemical X at the behest of his daughters, who desired nothing more than to lead normal lives after their final showdown with HIM. Suddenly, they are forced to set aside their differences and familial struggles when forced to reunite against an old foe...

    We're in an era of high-quality story telling through the animation medium, and out of touch corporations still choose the derivative and uninspired path.

    *Loud disappointed groan*

    I don't know that that is necessarily it here. It's still very hard to get a non-kids, larger audience for animation material. I worked for Cartoon Network. When they brought PPG back it was still super tough to get boys to watch it. I think this is just an attempt at grabbing the audience that liked the original series to come back.
