    You could do this with literally any 90's property, why do this with Powerpuff Girls, and why let CW get first dibs?

    In the updated version of the series, the titular superheroes are now disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?

      Give me the Adventures of Ed, Edd and Eddy with them in their 20's. It'd probably be better than anything else on TV.

        Hell yeah. Not that Antanucci will ever sign off on anything involving the Eds, but I still hope that someday CN gets to actually do something with the series. A sequel would be awesome,...

        Hell yeah. Not that Antanucci will ever sign off on anything involving the Eds, but I still hope that someday CN gets to actually do something with the series. A sequel would be awesome, especially what with the 90's and 2000's nostalgia floating around as all of us age into our 20's, 30's, and 40's.

        And it better finally show us what's under the damn hat.

      I firmly believe an exec at the CW found a list of childhood characters he had a crush on and has decided to make it all of our problems

        I feel wrong for linking a 4chan thread screencap on this site, but it's too relevant.

    I finally found what is probably the best version of this, HBO's Powerpuff GIRLS. Kind of telling that it was a three minute animated parody as opposed to a live action full order series.

    The cartoon was interesting yet formulaic. I was probably a bit older than its target audience. Doesn’t seem like a super interesting premise but it’s not bad either. Crime fighting sisters sound...

    The cartoon was interesting yet formulaic. I was probably a bit older than its target audience. Doesn’t seem like a super interesting premise but it’s not bad either. Crime fighting sisters sound cool enough.

    But making them adults almost makes it more of an inspiration than an adaptation.
