PPG was already dark for kids but NOT in the romanticized way of Gekiga style anime like Tatsunoko kids dramas like Honeybee hutch and even the original Saint Seiya, but rather in the opposite route, it was an Edgetard punk show for kids where the whole point is that 3 cute little girls are violent and beat up monsters and supervillains in needlessly violent ways, and yes, the whole show was a "NOT LIKE THOSE KIDS SHOWS" type of show, it was supposed to be a crass comedy, snarky, sarcastic, with some GOTCHA/nnNNNOOOT type of humor, and yes, mean spirited.
Hence why the whole show felt cynical and obnoxiously crass for the sake of pushing the envelope on kids shows, it was just a slightly kid friendly version of South Park without the swearing and full graphic violence, they made fun of morals, they made fun of wholesome, all the characters even the girls are mean jerkoffs.
But then this movie comes off and has an identity crisis, trying to be a bit more serious in it's depiction of heroism while still having that crass tone of the show, it didn't work.
Then the post movie seasons were just Savino making his own weird comedy show with the PPG characters, it sucked.
Then Toei made their own silly cutesy Magical Girl that wasn't Precure Slop that came and went and was much more kiddified because this was post 97 Toei, ever since they sand off the edge of their shows and adaptations after Jigoku Sensei Nube and became just BanDai's toy show makers, and it sucked, then got dubbed in English by Can00ks with the same tired old localization excuse, it sucked even more.
Then that weird stylized CGI special happened, it sucked.
And 2016 PPG happened! Nuff said.
Look I still don't like the clown episode ending and I am still not a big fan of HA ha type of comedy after so many MCU and Wheadonisms and Gunn's Douchebags of the Galaxy type of writing and everyone making fun of real wholesomeness and trying to be Ren and Stimpy, but I understood ppg.
