Could you elaborate? I didn't know he did things. As far as I know it was cartoon network that strong armed the rights from him and Disney literally short changed him on his wander over yonder cartoon. What did he do that fucked his integrity, if anything?
I think they’re saying that whatever good was left in the cartoon McCraken originally made has now been utterly wiped out by the live action show, since the live action version claims that the cartoon was a “safe sanitized and whitewashed version of their actual lives made to sell the brand” or whatever, essentially shitting all over the original in order to be “deep” and “realistic”.

That's it! Exactly what I thought.

Thanks. The wording in his post was misleading and implying mccracken may have done something shady or scummy. Hearing all of that is frankly fucking horrifying, yet business as usual in that godawful industry. Looking forward to the inevitable flop and the following blame game before these people set off to ruin another franchise with no repercussions whatsoever.

It'll get a full season, sadly.

The CW simply doesn't have anything, this is kind of why they greenlit multiple seasons of Batwoman which formerly was the worst thing the CW was tied to.

Bubbles "name drops" Fuzzy Lumpkins at one point but it increasingly is looking like they're stripping away all the more 'metahuman' aspects of everything EXCEPT the girls themselves. So the Rowdyruffs were probably natural born triplets who just caused trouble like a gang.

More and more making the cartoon look like it was 'distorting the truth'. Ugh.
And yet they're still fighting a living swamp in the teaser. An original villain too, I think. Very consistent.

A really stupid part of the script(and isn’t that saying something) is that apparently the little girl with the mind control worms named then all after member of Trump’s Cabinet.

There is literally an “Orange Man Bad” joke written in.
That joke is really bad because it's just very dated and it's really dumb to make a Trump joke about his cabinet when he's out of office. If this shit show as made in like 2017-2020 then it would've still been bad but expected.

Maybe if they’re gonna reshoot this how about make it a completely new original story and remove the PPG names and all references to the show/franchise and rename it. Some story about some adults that were young superheroes against their will and regret living it. That could work if it wasn’t PPG. Just do it like Watchmen which was meant to use existing IPs like Capt Atom, Blue Beetle, The Question etc but got rewritten into a new story.

Less people would be angry with them, at the very least.
