When I was reading about the announced Wondergirl series I came across this:
https://deadline.com/2020/08/the-powerp ... 203021883/

It might have potential because the the three heroines are now disillusioned 20 somethings. So three hot girls fighting (and captured) by supervillains is never a bad thing. Most likely turning into dreck, but home springs eternal.

Hope even


Unless you have a water leak in the house.

Yes let's hope it delivers as that costs us nothing (save the bitter tears of disappointment)

This could be VERY kinky depending on how they do it, yes disillusioned 20 somethings can be very sexually frustrated and sexually fluid...so we may get some great Bi/Lez scenarios too, and just maybe some hot peril and traps!

Quake as BUBBLES makes me scratch my head a little lol. She definately feels more like a Buttercup lead personality to me but eh?

Dunno, CW shows tend to suck... and I am unsure if the power puff girls is great material for like... adult shows? The fact its a VERY kiddy cartoon source sets my 'approach with caution' hairs on end... but idk? I DO love Quake....

I actually think you could do it. But I don't think CW can do it. It would need a massive budget and still have to be wild and zany and cartoonish. The CW version is either going to be just a slightly more comedy focused version of what their shows always are - soap operas - or a weird, Sharkboy and Lava Girl esque nightmarish hybrid.

'Bennet has been cast as Blossom, Cameron has been cast as Bubbles, and Perrault has been cast as Buttercup.'

'The “Powerpuff Girls” pilot hails from writers and executive producers Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody'

from:
Variety: ‘Powerpuff Girls’ Pilot at CW Casts Chloe Bennet,
Dove Cameron, Yana Perrault


Am a fan of Chloe Bennet from 'Agents of SHIELD.' :cap:

Diablo Cody is great at writing dialog, but don't know about action scenes. :hmmm:

If only it wasn't a CW show! :sad:

Not sure how I feel about the idea of a live-action version, but they look cute though...

The blonde is really cute.those dresses are pretty awful (never heard of Lycra or spandex?), of course being tied spread eagle and about to be sexually violated by the now adult Princess may improve them. Hopefully the show will last long enough to provide a few good scenes, inspire some dirty cosplay and a raft of decent porn parodies.

You read my mind!!! Dove Cameron as Bubbles....such a hot tight petite little blonde....in candy blue dress....yummy....I can't wait to see all the porn parodies!!!
Damselbinder

It already looks like a porn parody.

I don't know man. Something about this. Makes me frown.

Sadly no, it's the flying harness wire you can see on one of the other clips.
10/10 for naughty imagination though

These costumes are horrendous. But, it's not like the PPG wore traditional superheroine costumes yet, these almost look like it was a school project.

It's conceivable that that's the point. If the premise of the show is that they're disillusioned with superheroism, the scene being filmed may represent them rushing to action with the nearest things to hand that looked vaguely superhero-outfit-ish. Who can say.

It's very probable these are like, the 'beginning of the series' outfits that are like... close to what they wore as children because they haven't actually gone out to do any superheroing since they were kids.

Then the big 'upgrade' episode will happen and everyone will be like 'coooool!'

Or more probably it will be like Arrow, or the Flash, or Batwoman, or Supergirl, and by the upgrade episode I'll already be so annoyed by the Berlanti Bullshit that I'll already be gone. Who can say. At least the PPG's by their very nature don't have a stupid secret identity plot to force endless contrivances in which their co-stars fail to deduce who they are for way too lolng. But that's just one card of many in the deck of Berlanti Bullshit.

I don't know what to think of this. I give it the benefit of doubt, but which are the chances a funny tv-serie in this genre will work ? I did not like the cartoon, but we will see what the live action will offer.

By the 3rd episode or so, they'll likely be wearing formless pants like Supergirl...

I've watched a lot of her as Quake, the mind starts to wander I admit.

Nothing wrong with bodysuits IMO. I know there's a good portion of the site base here who are of the mind 'less skin=absolutely hideous' but to me, one of the best aspects of the Superheroine genre is the bright, flashy and unique design space attributed to costuming... and quite often, a tight bodysuit/pants included, allows for more unique design space than just bare legs. Not trying to knock anyones particular fetishes or anything, if its 'Bare Thighs or Die' for anyones fetish here, that's well enough, just saying, to me, a sexy bodysuit is absolutely as good as a unitard, short skirt, hosed legs, etc. etc. Nudity and skin is really basically a non-factor in my appreciation of the SHiP universe. Add to all of this, functionality in the script. Since we can rule out pretty much the liklihood of one of the PPG's tied up while a villainess fondles her bare thighs, then there isn't even really much 'function' happening in that space.

I mean... this is Power Puff Girls... tbh, I'm gonna need probably a whole season to feel comfortable enough thinking of them as like, adult superheroines anyway xD... if we're looking for 'fetish shit in the mainstream' I won't make the argument it should never ever happen (I do believe that but ignoring that for the sake of argument) POWER PUFF GIRLS isn't the place for it.

Oh I don't have a problem with bodysuits. I'm pretty sure I've made it clear in another thread before. Other than being devoid of shape in SG's case, I just prefer SG in a skirt, just as I prefer Batgirl in the bodysuit.

But you're right, this is a Powerpuff Girls thread, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the target audience anyway. But then again, I'm pretty sure many of us in this forum are not the target audience for many of the CW shows.

They leaked the full script of the first episode. It sounds absolutely atrocious.

Really ? So bad ?

edit: ok it seems that they *gasp* ... have sex. And that's the only good thing of the script, I am guessing :giggle:
