>>81491277

they could have fixed this by making bellum the mayor in her first episode, relegating the mayor to her assistant

mayor bellom, and her assistant...the mayor

the word mayor doesnt look or sound right to me after typing that

Sweet dude, tell me all about it on Tumblr.

there is a decline in sexy characters, but look what happened as a result, an increase in sexualizing shit like ponies and characters drawn in the art form of gravity falls

>>81491740
^^ (thank you)

I especially liked their dynamic together, so I wouldnt want to split them up. It removes the issue of an overqualified woman working for a buffoon but can do it in a comical fun way. Hell they could even have her give the responsibility back, she could pull a luther
"Do you know how much power I would have to give up to become Mayer?" play it for laughs

Or we can just remove the character altogether, gonna show the original show to my niece, hopefully she wont gravitate towards this shwarbage

Are you kidding? She's a hyper-competent, intelligent female that got to where she is through hard work and doesn't kowtow to the feminist agenda or allow herself to be subjugated by the "patriarchy."

Are these people not aware that having a hyperocompetent sidekick who does everything while a clueless doofus leader gets all the credit is an old as fuck cartoon trope?

I mean she's a character in the same vein as, say, Duck Dodgers and Cadet, Hong Kong Phooey and Spot, Inspector Gadget and Penny & Brain... god fucking damn these people are stupid as fuck and for "cultural critics" and shit like that they have no actual concept of shit that existed even 10 years before.

This. A thousand fucking times this. There is such a thing as a running gag. A story mechanic. A trope. Whatever. This shit is not new, and it is not insulting.

You don't want to be #1 - #1 takes all the flak when shit goes south. You want to be the person smarter than #1 and telling him what to do, then letting him take the blame for shady/stupid things.

She's technically the most powerful person in power in the city. Wow, how degrading.

Keep your head down (or just out of sight in general, Bellum), get paid, and know who's really calling the shots.

They are already aiming it on Brazil.

First episode is Island of Monsters.

Girls fight over who get to go to a boy banda concert. Mayor goes into a planejar without piloto that crashes into the Monster Island. There Blosson and Buttercup fdiscuss over who is going to the concert with Bubbles that is playing with a baby rhino/Lion monster.

In the end the Mayor was taking the monsters with pickels and Bubbles take the baby to the concert.

My 7 years old little brother loved the episode because of the giant monsters, but I think that he is mostly carried away with the hyper of the comercials tho.

you cant suppress sexuality, its human nature

Why the fuck is she problematic? She's just the extremely competent sidekick to the idiotic leader. It's a classic trope depicting how many times you don't usually find that the most capable person is the one in charge. It criticizes a scenario people often see in real life.

They keep changing things they shouldn't be changing.
Why the fuck do they think this was a good idea? Why do they think turning this show into something that isn't is a good way to push their so-called agenda?

This is literally a nontroversy. Stop hating the show just because women are more prominent behind the scenes. Its the same show and its better than ever. Manboy was a funny villain that wouldve fit right in the original, who cares if theyre making fun of men. Masculinity is awful these days anyways, stop acting entitled

How can a pony wanting to be a unicorn be a "trans" metaphor?

This is a giant change in species compared to wanting to change genders.

This is more akin to those Otherkin folks

I am actually getting angry over this.

This show had better tank. This shit is not acceptable.
>>
On a totally tangential note, but one I wouldn't mind hearing /co/'s thoughts on in light of this news...

...my headcanon is that Blossom grows up to basically be the Ms. Bellum to the President of the United States - his most competent, trusted aid, but also his personal one-woman Secret Service super-bodyguard. Like Bellum, she'd realize that being in charge full-time would hamper her actual effectiveness with pointless face time (no pun intended) in front of cameras and whatnot, and that she can do the most good by being the power behind the throne, as it were.

So guys what do you think 'him' will be like. Will he be an evil fag or will he be a misunderstood trans?

If that happened, it may actually redeem the show.

If they really wanted to, they could have just had Ms. Bellum be the Mayor and have the Mayor be the Mayor but not.

Like, they could make a joke about how everyone call's him the Mayor, but he's not. Because you can make jokes like that on the show.

And Ms. Bellum could have been the Mayor. Because you could do that, the option was there.

Because they had complete control over how to restructure the new show.

Christ.

You know, even AV Club wasn't feeling the reboot episodes released thus far. They gave it a B. Their grading system is pretty forgiving, an A is basically "watchable but not perfect".

They didn't like Ms.Bellum because her design was curvy and sexual looking. She was a sexy secretary caricature and that made them upset. That's literally the only reason. They knew they couldn't redraw her as a frumpy hambeast without making people even more mad, so putting her on "vacation" was the only choice.

ill try this again
A pony is something that is looked upon as a girly object
thats the key here
its a girly thing with no horn
stop being a fucking autist and looking at the physical aspects and look at it like a metaphor would
of course a horse can have a dick
thats not the fucking point
the point is that its a typically girl-oriented thing wanting to get a phallic symbol
as in a girl GETTING A COCK

I know I'm preaching to the choir and engaging in exactly the sort of ANTI-SJW /CO/ STRONK that I find obnoxious, but they couldn't have just redrawn the character so that she's in a suit?

I mean goddamn, this is legitimately stupid. I already thought that the reboot had a few issues, but now I just think they're just unable to deal with problems.

It's Powerpuff Girls, so it will get the benefit of the doubt from me, but I'll admit that I will miss Ms. Bellum.

Ok, we start with one horn.
A pony, "girly" why is it a girly pony and not a male one?

Why just 1 horn? What about other animals that wish to be another animal or have more details like quad antlers for deers? Curved horns for bulls?

And going back to it, why a pony that wants to be a unicorn that might be real in the PPGR world?

Sweet jesus this.

See, I'm willing to forgive the show for being lazy and just rehashing TTGo plots with little girls and using the old style to try and pull nostalgia points on parents.
But them straight up talking about "the messages we want to present" and shit like that is a whole other level of wrong.

Saying "LOOK, THIS THING WANTS TO BECOME THIS THING, ITS A METAPHOR FOR TRANS" isn't a message, it's you forcing a point when it could just as easily be brought in at least a more enjoyable fashion.
I'm one of the faggots that believes Kill La Kill is actually a pretty deep metaphor for female puberty, but they didn't thrust that into you face or anything: they extrapolated to the point where its comedic and enjoyable while still talking about accepting your sexy body and getting over making new friends at school and shit.

Steven Universe, despite all the SJW bile it gets, rarely ever directly states any kind of message. It's all done through actual character development and indirect actions. Ruby/Sapphire isn't "I'M GAY FOR YOU SO LETS FUCK" or anything. Garnet's two gems that protected each other and then had a cute little conversation about the experience while holding hands and dancing.

The original PPGs even knew how to do that shit. Fuck, Love Makes the World Go Round is a more subtle metaphor than this fucking pony shit.
>>
>>81492621
Much agreed.

Humor is a terrific tool for looking at life's flaws and dealing with them. This sort of thing makes me think of that John Cleese speech where he talks about seriousness vs solemnity, and how humor is a great survival tool while solemnity just walls people in.
