Top 10 Reasons Why the Original Powerpuff Girls is Better Than the Reboot Powerpuff Girls
-
The original did not depend on outdated memes and lame jokes
I don't know what the commenter who said the show is trying to grab the attention of younger audiences is talking about. I'm a kid, and I don't think the show is funny - it's extremely cringy. I much prefer the original, which was already great. And I'm not the only one who thinks so.
The original was hilarious, with jokes like "I was an accident too." In the reboot, it's just a bunch of outdated memes like "No Me Gusta," which isn't even funny. The reboot is not funny at all.
Yeah, there was an episode where we saw a big fat panda who looked like he was on drugs tweaking. What's worse is that Blossom and Bubbles did it too.

The original had better voice actors
I loved Cathy Cavadini, Elizabeth Daily, and Tara Strong as the voices of Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles. Why did Cartoon Network not ask the original voice actors? They actually wanted to come back and do the voices. Now we have Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamedes as the voices of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. They do not voice the girls as well.
Why would they replace Tara Strong with some random Asian girl? This new actress just doesn't give Bubbles' voice the same charm that Tara did.

The original did not try hard to be hip and cool
-
The original had better animation
The original had some gorgeous and classy animation during the first four seasons when it used cel animation. Very colorful and impressive, and the characters were on model most of the time.
The stylish vintage backgrounds looked great and stood out compared to those of other cartoons. The characters themselves were simple but appealing. Action scenes were full of striking poses and violence. In contrast, the reboot is full of really boring backgrounds and characters, with a few unnecessary details added, which don't make up for the incompetent art and bland animation. The old show looks so much cooler and more entertaining by comparison.

The original had better villains
They're all boring and annoying. I wish Mojo Jojo never appeared in The Powerpuff Girls because of his appearance. I wish Him never appeared in The Powerpuff Girls because of his appearance. I wish Sedusa never appeared in The Powerpuff Girls because of her appearance. I wish Princess Morbucks never appeared in The Powerpuff Girls because of her appearance. I wish the Amoeba Boys never appeared in The Powerpuff Girls because of their appearances. I wish Fuzzy Lumpkins never appeared in The Powerpuff Girls because of his appearance. I wish the Gangreen Gang never appeared in The Powerpuff Girls because of their appearances.

The original had more enjoyable episodes
I'd rather watch Chris Savino's episodes than the reboot series. Even though they were mostly bland, at least Chris Savino was trying to replicate the first four seasons.
But the original had a few bad episodes.
-
The original had better developed girls
The original Powerpuff Girls wanted to do something good for the people, as explained in the movie, by saving the day. Meanwhile, in the reboot, all the girls do is talk about memes and go to school.
-
The original had a better storyline
Hey, at least it HAS a storyline. TTG is inconsistent and silly when it comes to that. We get shown more of the vulnerable sides of the common villains and why they became them. Let's take Morbucks, for example. She's a brat, but she wants friends and can get lonely. She may seem harsh, but she doesn't know how to make friends the correct way. Sometimes she just wants to be good and kind but doesn't know how. She even said in one episode, But I don't want to be a villain! If that's not character development, I don't know what is!
The original explained well how the girls were made and how they started fighting crime, while the reboot just goes on with the Powerpuff Girls and doesn't explain.
-
The original was more fun to watch
OMG! Yes! I grew up watching the original show as a kid. All the action and just the good stuff.
It really made everything worth watching for hours.
In the original, I would laugh and enjoy every episode I watched. In the new one, it's just too weird, boring, and annoying.
-
The original had more action and the girls fought more
Ahh, yes. The old classic. Heroes ACTUALLY fighting crime and saving the world. That takes me back.
But this awful reboot? No! Anyways, in the original, yes, The Powerpuff Girls did have more action. All that good stuff and whatnot. The reboot just has them going to school, being on their phones (aren't we all?) and so on. Also, they put memes in there too. The original NEVER did that.
Why did Cartoon Network have to go and ruin such an AWESOME classic?! Oh! I did forget to mention that in one episode, they had Blossom and Bubbles twerking. There was another episode where a princess kissed Buttercup. Gross!
Anyways, that's all I've got to say. PS: Sorry about all the capitals.

I agree with you! Bubbles is the worst in the reboot.

The original focused on the girls
They're kids trying to live a kid's life, which is very entertaining for kids and teens who have to save the world before bedtime. The show is about how the girls are coping with their superhero life and child life. Both the reboot and original show this. It might be a good reflection for all of us.
