The Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken has explained the reason why he knew The CW’s attempt at making a live-action adaptation of his beloved cartoon series wouldn’t work out.Last May 19, it was officially announced that The CW decided to pull the plug on its long-in-development Powerpuff Girls series. Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, McCracken finally broke his silence regarding the canceled project. He revealed that he originally met with the network to discuss its plans for the live-action series, where he gave his honest feedback. “I had one meeting with them and I told them, ‘When you turn them into adults, they’re no longer the Powerpuff Girls because if they’re adults, that’s just three super girls who don’t have to deal with being kids.’ That’s a completely different show,” McCracken recalled.Before the live-action Powerpuff Girls was axed, the adaptation would have featured the titular trio as “disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting” who “agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever.” The project would have also featured the return of the original animated series’ narrator Tom Kenny, best known as the voice of Spongebob in SpongeBob SquarePants and Ice King in Adventure Time. Robyn Lively and Nicholas Podany were also originally cast as Mojo Jojo’s son and Ms. Bellum, respectively.
