I guess the reboot wasn't enough?
It feels like CW is doing it because the Charmed reboot is doing so well
The setting is different but the "3 women with powers fighting evil" motif is quite similar

...there's a Charmed reboot?

 

[kunonabi]

...there's a Charmed reboot?

Yeah and its complete trash.

 

[Pejo]

Side note here - but what does Hollywood/the entertainment industry have against redheads anymore? It seems like they always get recast as a different hair color or race altogether in all of the remakes that feature them, in the past 2-3 years.

Hollywood is perfectly fine with prejudice towards minorities when it suits them.

The Charmed reboot is one of their least viewed shows.

It looks like they're about to shoot a porn parody scene. It's CW so it's going to be one step above porn anyway.

Supposedly 'Leaked' Script From 'Powerpuff Girls' Reboot Would Confirm Fans' Worst Fears If Its Real

It looks too ridiculous to be real, but then again, that's what people thought about "Edgy, live-action 'Powerpuff Girls' Reboot."

www.google.com

So they were going the "MAX CW TRASH" route, huh?

It's weird, an "adult Powerpuff Girls" might actually work if it was put on a streaming service and played with an extreme amount of camp via Matt Vaughn showrunning (the Kingsman guy). But nah... CW shit cyclone.

 

[teezzy]

CW is my favorite channel

 

[RoboFu]

Don’t they know little kids still watch the cartoon and will for sure see commercials for this and want to watch?

well at least someone at CW has some sense I guess. It’s funny everyone attached says it’s because it’s too “ campy “. Yeah that’s why...

 

[jason10mm]

Do this like an actual adult show and it could be fine. But the pg-13 level this would be just makes this kind of "sexy edgy" stuff feel awkward and forced. It's women written to act like men but depicted like children.

Which one is buttercup?

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

...there's a Charmed reboot?

The Charmed reboot is one of their least viewed shows.

The show takes itself too seriously, that's the problem. Shit reminds me of DC's Titans. The original knew how to have fun with a low budget

 

[sol_bad]

So?
It's the parents responsibility to make sure the show is OK for their kids to watch, not a shows creators.

Bumping Thread

After looking at those whack Snow White pictures in that other thread, my brain somehow remembered someone's making a Power Puff Girls TV show that's on the WB or whatever.

Well, they were making the show as it's officially canned

Warner Bros. TV Scraps Its Live-Action Powerpuff Girls Series

Warner Bros. Television has reportedly put the final nail in the coffin of its planned live-action Powerpuff Girls series

www.comingsoon.net

God still does exist but he's spread too thin

 

[Badlucktroll]

Johnny Bravo CW show would be better

 

[VulcanRaven]

Did they already film it?

Bumping Thread

I don't mind this thread bump as I was not aware of this earlier information:

 

[YCoCg]

Johnny Bravo CW show would be better

No it wouldn't, people would slate it for being "woke" even though the whole point of Johnny Bravo was that he's the ultimate himbo who hits on chicks but never got them.

 

[RaduN]

This was never an actually good cartoon. It was just a filler on CN, in between shows like Dexter's Lab and others actually good ones.

 

[Gonpachiro Kamaboko]

Booooooo

[KyoZz]

And a trailer has leaked!

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

"not to mention that cartoon that completely white-washed us"

 

[GymWolf]

Predictable trash.

 

[RoboFu]

And a trailer has leaked!

If this is real this is going to be the most hilarious flop ever.

 

[Hookshot]

I can see why it was scrapped.

 

[chromhound]

Jesus Christ... This is fucking garbage

 

[RoboFu]

So apparently this is just a leaked old trailer and it's been canceled a while back.

 

[Fermbiz]

Holy fuck that's looks horrible

 

[OmegaSupreme]

"gender normative" Jesus Christ

 

[SJRB]

That trailer gave me AIDS

 

[RagnarokIV]

Beyond terrible.

 

[ssringo]

That looked like a Powerpuff Parody.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Actually, imo this is the type of project that should have moved forward at CW.

It couldn’t have hurt CW! Seriously though, the reason is this should have been a one to three season show that gets hype be hate watched. I believe shows like this can develop a cult following and the merchandise sales would have been used to offset dev cost. This would have been a “hate watch” popular streaming TV on Netflix. Sadly, hate watching is a real genre. And this looks somewhat different than the usual CW stuff.


I saw the trailer and immediately thought of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Children’s Hospital, or Z Nation.

 

[YCoCg]

Now, I'm one who thinks the term "woke" is overused and lost a lot of meaning these days, ...but after watching that trailer you just know the writers were all performative wokes who wanted to "correct" the original material. Thank fuck this was shit canned.

 

[AJUMP23]

And a trailer has leaked!

This looks cheap, and bad. There is not much worse than looking cheap.

 

[DeafTourette]

It's good this wasn't brought to life

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

And a trailer has leaked!

I’m kinda bummed this was canceled. It would’ve been fun to watch it flop

 

[Revolutionary]

Looks exactly like what I'd expect from a CW show. Kinda surprised they canceled it.

 

[DKehoe]

I’m kinda bummed this was canceled. It would’ve been fun to watch it flop

Would it have? Why give a shit?

At this point, we can think of how a reputable company is ruined by incompetents in a few years.

We will see how Warner Bros. goes bankrupt.

The only thing they do is make people no longer interested in going to the movies and they also hurt Hollywood.

Warner bros is just making a fool of itself.

It did seem woke. But if they pivoted to make it only partially woke, and partially not. It could have been a dumpster fire of interesting to younger viewers.

 

[Pagusas]

And a trailer has leaked!

Wow... for the first minute I thought it was legit a poorly done SNL skit. They seriously making this this low production and bad??

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

what in the ever loving fuck is that?

i couldn't even make it through the trailer. it's so bad.

good it was shit canned. get that shit to fuck.

 

[Billbofet]

I could dedicate the rest of my life to making something more awful and cringy than this, and I would fail.
I cannot believe how trash this looks. Everyone involved needs to be fired.

Also, I honestly thought this was a cross-over T-mobile and SNL skit for the first 30 seconds. I was waiting for Zach Braff to start singing about wireless internet or some shit.

Don't worry... This was cancelled two years ago. It's not getting made. They only had a pilot shot.

WB is actually doing fine now. Thanks to the Axe of Zaslav.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

That's hilarious.
