Daria vs The Powerpuff Girls

Having just watched the Powerpuff Girls once again defeat evil, the question comes up: could thier cute happy superpowers overcome Daria's cynical take on life?

Yes, it's been a loooong day.... ^_^

What's the Powerpuff Girls?

Probably not.

Ditto....

<chuckle> I could see this. I could even see Daria secretly liking the shows but not wanting to admit it ...

Yeah.. some of the villains make the show especially entertaining. I think Jane and Daria both would have a certain appreciation for "HIM," for example.

My personal favorite is Mojo-jojo, of course. <g>

Powerpuff Girls is a very satirical show ... it quite clearly depicts the innocent savagery that is at the core of childhood. It's a lot deeper than it looks on the surface ... just like Dexter's Laboratory.

*chuckle* Could it be Blossom, the powerful leader, guiding the group into goodness and light? Or maybe Buttercup, away from the group, with her slightly different slant on things? Perhaps it's Bubbles, full of happiness and goodwill towards every living thing?

Heh... I need to go to bed. I have to get up in 6.5 hours and if I don't sleep soon, I'm going to be a very unhappy camper in the morning. :-P So much for turning nocturnal...

I like the quote. :-)

I'll do you one better, Rich, and give you the entire Trinity. ;) Here goes:

The Professor, the creator of the girls, represents God the Father, of course. The girls themselves have saved Townsville enough to represent the Savior, God the Son. And the Holy Spirit is Chemical X!

So, errm, what is the Powerpuff Girls? I ask again, in the hope that someone will tell me this time.... <g>

Alli, in words that shall live forever in the human heart, asked:

The Powerpuff Girls is a superhero parody done by Gwendy Tarnovsky, the creator of Dexter's Laboratory. The premise is that a scientist has accidentally created these three cute little girls (around 5-6 years old in appearance) who have awesome superpowers (they could probably give "Monkey" a run for his money). They fight an assortment of bizarrely funny villains (sometimes more like misunderstood freaks) in the city of "Townsville". It's a very funny cartoon.

Actually, it was created by Craig McCracken, Genddy Tartakovsky's friend and film-school classmate, and art-director/writer for "Dexter's Laboratory". I do like that there is a bit of overlap in the two shows (doesn't one episode of PPG feature the Puppet Pals?)

Yes, the Puppet Pals did feature in one ep. In the UK, Powerpuff Girls is currently being shown on Cartoon Network. The end theme is by those Sweetshop Avengerz, Bis.

That's all very nice, Chris, but what about your analysis of Tiffany as Christ figure? I've been waiting now for about 6 weeks, and still no response... don't you remember? It's your turn. ;-)

rich.

Tiffany: "Oh, no. Wind, hair."

Not as long as my day, which started yesterday at about 10:00 am Pacific time and lasted through a red-eye flight from Las Vegas to Philadelphia (in which I slept for about 10 minutes, Gah Gah Dammit!), and continues non-stop into today (with just a 4-hour sleep break). Then I log on for the first time in over a week and see this thread. :)

On the other hand, I happily note the absence of a certain individual who I will not name.

LOL, paranoid! <g>
