So they’re portraying them as child soldiers. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?” Now they’re disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime-fighting.

A third season concluded in 2019 and with no new episodes released and it barely getting any airtime anymore, it’s safe to say that it was taken out Old Yeller style.

While I personally haven’t seen any episodes, I usually hear about which animated shows are worth watching and that has never crossed my path once. The series was rebooted in 2016 to mixed results.

When the show premiered in 1998, I loved watching it, but was always afraid that my friends would make fun of me because I liked something “that was for girls.” Dumb as that thought was, I never told anyone that I liked to watch the show, but as a confident 25 year old man, damn has it aged remarkably well. The Powerpuff Girls was a show that I was always embarrassed to say I liked.
