re-doing the hideous cw remake of the powerpuff girls
i do think that the whole “actually they were traumatized” thing can work… just in a VERY different way.
The Powerpuff Girls are the protectors of Townsville. Or, they used to be. When the girls got older, the press wouldn’t leave them alone (because since when has the media been respectful of people’s boundaries?). After Bubbles has a panic attack after a gang of reporters followed her home from school, Professor Utonium puts his foot down. He moves his family out of Townsville and they settle in an obscure midwestern town. He and the girls take on different names to ensure their privacy: Bella (Blossom), Brittany (Bubbles), and Bud (Buttercup) Miller. But they still call each other by their real names and freely use their powers while at home.
The girls have a peaceful teenagerhood. They grow up and go off to pursue their passions. Blossom becomes a literature professor at a prestigious university, becoming a very influential figure to her students. Bubbles becomes an advocate for animal rights and founds a no-kill shelter (she also made an animal-friendly fashion line which gave her the money to make the shelter). Buttercup becomes a successful roller derby player, winning various championships around the state. The family remains closely knit, despite living far away from each other (except for Buttercup, who remains close to home to take care of the aging Professor Utonium). They always meet for Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
But one day, a new enemy emerges that threatens not just Townsville, but the whole world. I still don’t know who or what that is (I’m thinking evil superpowered dictator). The now 20-something girls must return to their superhero roots and save Earth from destruction.
This is so much better.@gch1995
