In case anyone missed the leak in all its… majesty, I would advise you for legal reasons not to search Twitter for “ppg.pdf”. (I was gonna include a download link, but for the site’s sake I probably shouldn’t.)
 
You have to understand, I was a huge Powerpuff fan as a kid. It’s what got me into the pony fandom. So this is…
 
…???!!!???…
 
I can’t believe it’s real. I still can’t believe it’s real, even after the copyright strike. Like, WB should have Glomared that shit. “We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a pilot script.” Honestly, it reads like one of those “I forced a bot” memes. You know, “I forced a bot to watch 1,000 hours of CW dramas, then asked it to write a CW drama of its own.” But a professional writer did this. Presumably in exchange for money. Or at least the expectation of money.
 
I’ve read better fanfic. I’ve written better fanfic.

Given those that made 2016 like Ms. Twelve forever and the guy whose self-insert got Blossom humid as Florida. If someone said that was from an unreleased episode from the canned 2016 show, I wouldn’t doubt it. They do make it real easy to edit cartoons anymore.

And then it takes a gratuitous dig at the cartoon, saying it “totally whitewashed [them]”.
 
Who the balls was this show made for? I mean, I was not optimistic, but I was at least open to the possibility that it might not entirely suck. And there’s a part of me that thinks they were trying to be sort of tongue-in-cheek about the whole thing, like with the Professor–sorry, “Drake”–always “Drake”, never “the Professor”–telling Bubbles to “stick to the character bible”, but… I don’t know if it sounded better in the writer’s head than it does on the page, or if it’s really that bad. And the script’s labeled “Network Revision”, so it’s possible that we’re seeing a mash-up of competing visions between the CW suits and Mmes. Cody and Regnier. And the network reportedly rejected the pilot for being “too campy” and not “rooted in reality”, so it sounds like things are gonna get worse before they get better.
 
I mean, I can almost, almost see this thing working as a straight-up parody. Like an Adult Swim show. Animated. That’s the key thing. Same art style, same character models, maybe use the aged-up proportions we saw in “City of Clipsville”. With this dialogue. Totally ridiculous, and leaning into the ridiculousness. Instead… eh.

IIRC she was the only one with a (heterosexual) crush in the original show.
 
Coulda made her bi. If you’re gonna write her as a ho-bag anyway, may as well give her twice the playing field to work with.

In Powerpuff Girls Z,the anime,there were other girls who crushed on Buttercup,or Kaoru,her civilian name. I at first thought,oh,of course,she’s gonna be into girls,right? But then, nope. Turns out she’s into dudes. Dudes with big muscles.

Remember when EqG came out, and you could feel the pain in Lauren’s Twitter account? And that wasn’t even an original property. And I think it’s fair to say the people who made the movie were at least trying to do right by her.
 
This was Craig’s student film. It was his baby. A dumb little idea he had in college that turned into a silly little short for the then-fledgling Cartoon Network that turned into a beloved cultural icon. Six seasons and a movie, before that was a meme. A Japanese spinoff. A tenth anniversary special. A reimagining for a new generation of fans. And now… this. This thing.
