so contradictory
iheartrae13 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This special was all over the place, it felt like they barley put any effort, and bliss only exists just so she can get higher ratings (and look how that turned out). If the show wanted a good special they should've gotten a villain or a character that's highly praised my og fans! Bliss isn't even that good. Sure, i like her design (except her hips, it looks like she got a bbl), and the fact she's poc is cool but she isn't a well written character. You're telling me that i should believe the professor wanted to create bliss because he wanted to be more well-known??? Not for the good of the town? The heck? And, you're trying to make us believe that mojo enjoyed hanging out with bliss when he was the professor's lab monkey?? What is this show supposed to go on? There's literal hints that this show is going off the original yet why is it so contradicting? If they wanted to add someone similar to the powerpuff girls, they could've went for a story such as someone else making their own powerpuff, either because they admired the ppg's or etc. The og did that with the rowdyruff boys, and it was great!

This is the worse example of shoehorning in a new character that I've ever seen.

I don't hate Bliss because she's black I hate her because like Poof, Sparky, and Chloe from The Fairly Odd Parents she the result of the show writers thinking that the best way to save their obviously dying is to add a new character. She's just a bad character in general since she's shoehorned into the series in the worst way possible. Why would the girls call Bubbles crazy for having an imaginary friend? That's something most 6-year-old have. Also, they didn't think she was crazy when she believed unicorns were real and her stuffed toy octopus could play kickball, but having an imaginary friend is considered crazy. I would've forgiven Bliss if she was Bunny, or had a similar backstory like Bunny. Bunny made sense since she was the result of the girl's recklessly making a 4th sister to help them. Since they added in the wrong sugar, spice, and everything that was nice Bunny came out deformed and unstable. If Bliss was created the same way as Bunny that would've explained her natural proportions, hair color, and unstable powers. She would've been a lot more sympathetic if she sacrificed herself to bring Saturn back in its right place, it would've been an easier way to get rid of her too. Before you say that would be too dark, may I remind you that Bunny from the original series blew up on screen in her debut episode because she was so unstable. Also, there was already a cartoon that did the same plot the right way, "My Life As A Teenage Robot" in the episode, "XJ-Sisters." The main character, Jenny, who is a robot, goes to a family picnic and gets jealous of her human friends Tuck and Brad and how they share a sibling bond, which Jenny doesn't have. One day Jenny discovers that she does have sisters. They're the prototypes, which makes sense since not only is Jenny a robot, but her mom/inventor calls her Xj-9 which means that there were 8 other prototypes before her. She decides to reactivate them and take them all to the picnic. She soon realizes that they were all deactivated and locked away for a reason. As prototypes, they're all really defective and cause mayhem throughout the picnic and severely embarrass Jenny. She yells at them and tells them to go away. Brad explains to her that siblings are supposed to embarrass each other because that's kinda their job. When a villain shows up and is too hard to beat alone Jenny's sisters ban together and help her defeat them. Jenny apologizes, has a slumber party with them, and her mom deactivates them and stores them away again. This made sense since even though Jenny's sister were sentient, they were still robots who were very destructive due to their major flaws in their designs so them being deactivated for all those years made sense. It also makes senses that Dr. Wakeman, Jenny's mom, never told Jenny about them for fear of her reactivating them and wreaking havoc. As an inventor, we expect Dr. Wakeman to have several prototypes of robots since she did build Jenny to be a perfect superhero, especially since she calls her XJ-9. With Bliss, however, the fact that there was no indication that there was an "original power puff girl." made her backstory extremely confusing, especially if you've watched the original series. We all assumed that Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were the only powerpuff girls that ever existed since there was no indicated that the professor tried making a perfect daughter more than once. So the fact that there was an original power puff girl that the professor never mentioned to his daughters makes him look like a horrible parent. Another problem is unlike Dr. Wakeman, the professor sees the girls as his daughters first and superheroes second, so we know he's very emotionally attached to them. Unlike Jenny's sisters, Bliss is seen a more human- like character and was treated like the professor's daughter. So the fact that he just swept her death under the rug after all those years like a failed experiment makes him look like a heartless mad scientist and Bliss as a defective prototype that needs to be turned off and dismantled. Also, I don't think I need to explain why having a black character getting created by chemical "w" is a bad idea.

No matter what anyone says they don't like bliss because she's black and that's sad I love that there's a character that looks like me. Sorry to you weirdos who wanted the show to stay 3 little white girls.

Not even a bad episode i think
arielsiere8 July 2023
So this is the episode when the show introduces a new character named Bliss many people hate her because she is a rip-off to Bunny from the original even though she is a dead topic nowadays sorry if i had to use black humor not to mention she is voiced by Olivia Olson the voice actress who did Vanessa (Phineas And Ferb) and Marceline (Adventure Time) even though I like Adventure Time but i don't care for Phineas And Ferb nowadays and i get that people were trying to bring back the fourth original PowerPuff Girl named Bunny but they can't because she is gone since 2014 since the late Christine Cavanaugh is gone.

Bliss looks so pretty!

When I first saw Bliss, I find her so beautiful, pretty, gorgeous, and cute! Then I figured that since Blossom is the smart one, Bubbles is the cute one, and Buttercup is the cool and tough one, I thought that Bliss can be the pretty one. Her hair is so gorgeous! She also has a lovely voice! I don't get why there are people being haters about this. I love Bliss. She's like the best! She even makes herself an amazing Powerpuff Girl! This kinda makes me wish that she would have been known sooner. Seeing Bliss reunited with the Utonium family is so wonderful! Bliss is like really special! She deserves all the love anyone can give her!
