I just read the leaked script to CW's live-action Powerpuff Girls pilot and...yikes, total disrespect to it's source material. If you guys want to read an edgier yet faithful take on the PPG, check out @rossowinch "Reimagined" comic on WebToon.
In this story, the Powerpuff Girls aren't born by accident but are actually the biological unborn daughters of Professor Utonium who he revived back to life after his late wife was murdered during pregnancy.
While the comic is admittingly better than the script that I had the unfortunate time hurting my brain with, it contains mature & graphic content which would be too disturbing to adapt into live-action even by CW's standards since Blossom, Bubbles, & Buttercup are still children in this.
Since it's universally accepted that the pilot script of CW's live-action Powerpuff Girls show is hot garbage, may I recommend a grittier yet faithful retelling of the beloved cartoon. Check out "The Powerpuff Girls Reimagined" by @rossowinch on WebToons/Deviantart.
The fan comic retells the origins of how the three titular girls came to be. ⚠️Mature & graphic content ahead, scroll at your own risk.⚠️
In this version, Blossom, Bubbles, & Buttercup are Professor Utonium's biological unborn triplets who he revived back to life after his expecting wife got brutally murdered by a deranged psychopath (Two of them are established PPG characters, you have to read the comic yourself to find out who they are cause I ain't spoiling it here).
As the pages above already suggest, this is NOT suitable for kids, While this comic is 💯 times better than that script written by ACTUAL screenwriters, elements such as depression, attempted suicide, mental illness, gore, & nudity would make it difficult to adapt into live-action even by CW's standards especially since the girls are still canonically kids here and not adults.
