The original Powerpuff Girls did this already and it was done way better.

They should have just brought back Bunny.

Also I gotta agree that Bliss looks like a bad fan character. Even the name "Bliss" sounds Mary Sue-ish.

EDIT: Holy shit, I found a PPG fan character named Bliss on the first page of Google images and she actually looks better than the one in the show, even when drawn in MS Paint.

It's a sad day when DeviantArt OCs outdo the real thing.

On the one hand, Bliss looks awful. On the other hand, the rebooz was already shitty enough to begin with, so it's not like something worthwhile is getting ruined.

Anybody familiar with Kulipari? It's a neat little Netflix show from last year about frogs and scorpions beating the shit out of each other. Watched the first episode, not bad so far.

Certainly looks like they put more thought into the story and characters here.

Oh yeah, I've just finished a couple more episodes, and it's a really good little adventure series where thankfully the antagonists are just as interesting as the main characters. The animations is pretty nice too, while there's some tweening involved, there's also plenty frame-by-frame animating, and it all blends in fairly well. Oh, and the background art is gorgeous!

Interesting I haven't heard of it until now, but I guess that's just how hard it can be to get anything noticed on Netflix unless there's that push.

Holy pepperoni! I'm surprised it's not about anthropomorphic meatballs.

I'm sure they're getting the meatballs name out of the fact there was a rock star named "Meatloaf" at the time so they had to follow suit with this pun of the two characters being named Meatballs and Spaghetti.

It's kinda like Archie after getting a few shotgun kisses from Stephen Hillenburg.

Probably. A lot of things felt that way back then, I don't even think I even knew this show existed (being 5 at the time) but I probably was watching something else then. This was one of several early shows for the then new studio Marvel Productions and it shows (I like to think they were desperately trying to shake off that DePatie-Freleng look they essentially came out of, you still see that in the end credits).

There's another episode on YT but it's in German (been up there for a decade too), the plot though isn't hard to figure out as a Jetsons episode did the same thing 20 years before.

Oh wow, that must be it. With all the celebrity cartoons that were around that time with the likes of Mr. T, Chuck Norris or Bill Cosby I can imagine them wanting the man himself to lend his likenesses, but ultimately not going though with it due to budget limitations.

I'd totally forgotten there was an Archie cartoon.

There was??

Trilby said:
There's been several. You have the ones Filmation did in the late 60's/70's (quite a lot of needless spin-offs), plus DIC's "The New Archives in the late 80's and "Archie's Weird Mysteries" a decade later.

There were several??? Whoa! I mean, yeah, Archie used to be huge, but I'm surprised I've never heard of these shows before. Then again, there was that Archie band that had animated music videos if memory serves me right, so I should've put two and two together.

Having seen the earlier deleted scenes, I wished it stayed that way, it was quite a mature film than people gave it credit for.

Yeah the music stuff was way back at the beginning when they first put out "The Archie Show" in 1968.

There were even live-action attempts at Archie that don't deserve to be spoken about here (not counting Riverdale mind you).

Yeah this was the one they had in the late 80's when someone decided to stick the guys in junior high, yet Grundy and Weatherbee are still there so, what the hell!
