Talk:The Powerpuff Girls/Archive 1

message: "In the episode where nano-bites eat all the carbon in the city and it starts raining, Dexter (from Dexter's Laboratory) appears." First of all, the little carbon-eating pests were calling nano*bots*, and secondly, I don't recall seeing Dexter in this episode. I think the writer of this trivium is confusing the ep with the one called 'Forced Kin', the one where Mojo joins forces with the Girls to stop some alien dude. Dexter did appear in that episode, anyway.
:It seemed a little unusual to me, too, when I skimmed by it, but I don't remember the episodes specifically enough to verify the trivia either way. --Crisu 14:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The girls are sickeningly cute and incredibly powerful.
Is the word "sickeningly" allowed, under the NPOV rule? ;)  -- Oliver Pereira
Maybe a word with less POV could be used.  Using that word leaves a clear meaning that may have nothing to do with a point of view.  It is emphasizing the word "cute".  Another good word does not come to mind, but someone can think of one. Maybe "extremely cute?"  Maybe they are *supposed* to be sickeningly cute and then it isn't an NPOV violation at all!  -- RM
Are you sure it is Townsville, *USA*? I watch the show alot and they never mention where Townsville is. It is possible that the dubbers cut it ofcourse. --BL
:Not if you watch it in English, since it's made in English. --Charles A. L. 15:16, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)
:The episode with the 'fish-balloon' monster and the Powerpuff mech thing mentions, at the beginning, that just about the only American thing it doesn't have is Mt. Rushmore, or something to that effect.  I believe there's also references to the PPG Townsville being in the US in the episode with the alien broccoli.  This is just my hazy memory, though. ^^' --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 21:22, Jun 23, 2004 (UTC)
::Oh, found one more bit of evidence. Townsville Hall has the American flag over it.  So there you go. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 08:51, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
(Glenn L) Dialog from several episodes appear to identify Townsville with Los Angeles, California. Here are just a few:
(1) In "Knock It Off," the Professor refers to "the 101. Take the 210 to the Harbor Freeway."
This detail also seems to identify Pokey Oaks with the L.A. suburb of Pasadena, California.
(2) In "Him Diddle Riddle," Buttercup says "One down, ten million to go!" While no US city has that many people, Los Angeles County DOES!
(3) The opening of "Catastrophe" shows a freeway clearly identified as Interstate 405, which only exists in the Los Angeles and Seattle areas.
(4) Little Tokyo Townsville in "Uh Oh Dynamo": The largest Japanese communities outside of Japan are in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
---------------------------------------------
In one episode they move to "Citysvile" through a giant red bridge
with the same architecture as SF's.
of cource it is US, where else could it be SU?
There is Townsvile in Australia, however without giant red bridge that looks like SF's
(Glenn L) There is also Coronado, California, conneced to San Diego by a similar bridge. When the bridge is closed due to accident or suicide jumper, the only way out is via a 2-lane, 25-mile (40-km) detour through Imperial Beach. Believe me, you don't want to face that.
---------------------------------------------
Some critics claim that the Powerpuff Girls are icons of "third-wave feminism".
Who said that? --Notyetbotheredtoregister
I know Mojo Jojo shows up way more than Him, but don't they say that Him is the most evil person in the world? Wouldn't he be more accurately described as the archenemy? - Branddobbe
:Perhaps, but even though Him is the most evil, Mojo Jojo causes more trouble for the girls.  I think that's what matters.  Him apparently spends most of his time cackling evily down in his lair or something... --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 08:51, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
::The definition for enemy, Sparky, is one who hates the other person. God knows, maybe Mojo Jojo hates the girls more than Him does. Marcus2 16:13, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: I have never heard Professor Utonium's first name, but that could be because I haven't seen many of the newer episodes.  Could someone provide a source episode? --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 21:22, Jun 23, 2004 (UTC)
Actually, Prof. Utonium's "first name" listed as "John" first appeared in the article in the very first edit on May 8, 2002. --Marcus2
That's all well and good, but in what episode was his name mentioned?  Again, I don't claim to know everything, and I haven't seen a whole lot of the newer episodes, but I've watched the show for a while and never heard the Professor's first name mentioned, even heard it awkwardly avoided. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 17:10, Jun 24, 2004 (UTC)
I'm not saying that there is an episode in which Prof. Utonium's first name is mentioned. I've never seen an episode like that either. --Marcus2
Even in the episode when the girls goes back to time, they encounter the younger version of the professor, the teacher still calls him 'mr. Utonium' and not by his first name. 80.126.183.100 21:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Meni Rosenfeld, your argument is invalid.  1.  No one has ever given me any sources.  2.  The other characters that are "humans" are drawn with fingers and toes.  3.  Although you call the girls "humans", they have no biological mother.  4.  It's only a cartoon, and in cartoons, anything can happen.  If you fail to present a source with definite proof that says that the Powerpuff Girls have fingers and toes, I will proceed to revert back to the old statement that has stuck here on Wikipedia for months.  Marcus2 21:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Common sense is my only source. They appear in many episodes to hold something (be it a crayon, a paper, a game cartridge as in "The powerpuff girls best rainy day adventure ever", or whatever), which I find would be very difficult if they didn't have fingers. Don't you agree? There's also no reason to assume that the PPG should be drawn exactly like all the other characters, in a way that being drawn without fingers must mean they genuinely have no fingers. Besides, I think the current wording by Sparky is an acceptable compromise. --Meni Rosenfeld 05:51, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

text: BTW, is there a source that says that the PPG don't have fingers? --Meni Rosenfeld 05:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, check this out!!!  Read paragraph three of this website:  http://www.mutantreviewers.com/rpowerpuff.html.  Marcus2 13:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I meant a reliable source, not some weird mutantophile's review. If you find the sentence "The powerpuff girls have no fingers" in the cartoon network site, it would be a different matter entirely. Of course, I will have a harder time finding a source that states the more-or-less obvious fact that they do have fingers. --Meni Rosenfeld 13:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I think you mean "Oops, I did it again". Yes, I've recently seen it and it does seem to strengthen the idea that they, indeed, have no fingers. But personally, I don't give much credit to what is said in the post-film episodes, so I still don't like the idea of explicitly stating in the article that they don't have fingers - Although officially, the evidence does suggest that. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 14:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Recently seen the episode?  Why don't you watch Essence of Emeril or 30 Minute Meals starring Rachael Ray instead, if you have the Food Network.  There are also other better and more popular shows to watch, like SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, Scooby-Doo, and Dora the Explorer.  Marcus2 16:02, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Um... I don't get it. I thought you liked "The Powerpuff Girls". (Besides "more popular" does not mean "better", and "better" does not mean I like them more.) <sarcasm> But thanks for giving me tips on what to watch on TV.</sarcasm> -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I just received a "warning" from Marcus2 over a sentence I've re-added repeatedly to the Powerpuff Girls trivia section:
You have repeatedly readded this sentence, "In the "Crazy Mixed-up Puffs" episode, there is a scene in which Buttercup farts." This is either inappropriate or it isn't true. You better stop readding the sentence or else you will be blocked. Marcus2 13:42, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For the record, when viewing the source link, do a search for the phrase "breaking wind" to go right to the line that mentions Buttercup's action.  I think this trivia fact should be kept.  --Crisu 01:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

:Done.  Reverting vandalism is easy if you backtrack through the article history and find the latest legit version.  *Nod*  Just go to that old version, click "edit this page," and save it.  You'll be warned that you're editing an older version of the article, but that's what you want.

replies: text: You put the Amoeba Boys and Major Man under a Villains category.  Neither are that evil.  The Amoeba Boys commit petty crimes and like the girls (sort of).

message: I've always thought the show actually premiered on the "President's Day Nightmare" episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast as part of the "1st Annual World Premier Toon-In".  The article claims it premiered on a different show.  Anyone know for sure? DougieFresh 20:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I personally think that each Powerpuff Girl (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup) should get individual articles.  They are major characters in the series.  Some of the villians (such as Mojo Jojo) have their own article.  For Power Rangers, many of the Power Rangers have their own article.

replies: text: Not me.  Besides, does Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, or Cow and Chicken from the TV series of the same name have their own separate articles?  I don't think so. Marcus 12:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Excuse me, Marcus2, but when have I sabotaged the integrity of Wikipedia? You're obviously not new here, so please explain your removal of the addition I made to Bubbles' personality.

text: Ok, my wording wasn't adequate I agree, so I will word it better, but Buttercup isn't more powerful than Bubbles, she is just more aggressive. This has been pointed out many times on the series. Thanks for your response Staringatthesun 03:37, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I will end this once and for all: "The Powerpuff Girls" is NOT THAT POPULAR!  You don't know what you're talking about.  "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "The Fairly OddParents", for instance, are much more popular than PPG.  Almost everything is more popular than PPG, even all of my favorite shows.  If "The Powerpuff Girls" is still popular, then Lionel Richie is a British musician and was born in London.  Please try not to believe the publicity releases that say it was/is popular.  So what if it's popular in Asia?  I don't live there, but you do.  As for Japan, I'm sure the anime version is a flop, and the movie didn't do well AT ALL!  It only received $11,000,000 in the U.S., so it is most definitely not popular here in the U.S.  Why do you make a big deal over this?!  You are DEAD WRONG and that's that.  What else can I say?

text: Well, the one who submitted the new images is somewhat suspect, as he deleted the warnings for the images he submitted, telling him they'd be deleted.
