Well you can watch several reviews of PPG2016 by YouTubers like Saberspark, Paleosteno or Rebeltaxi as they did a pretty good job on analyzing the show.





For why I dislike the show, These are my several reasons.





-It just feels like the makers are trying too hard to make it feel hip and cool with the kids. We see characters doing selfie, twerking, mentioning memes and more. At least when 'We Bare Bear' does something like this, they don't linger too much with it, so it's not like they're shoving it in your face.





-The characters are dumb down to an insulting degree, and when I say insulting, I mean insulting to the original show. When the reboot was in development, the makers claimed that they want to make the characters more three dimensional than in the original. Now in technicality, they did try, but their attempts were so poor and amateur that the characters are either generic, annoying or unlikable.

For example, the character Buttercup in the original was a hard head and a tomboy, She can be quite a loose cannon, but she does take her superhero role seriously and would still respect the innocent. In the reboot, she acts like a brat who takes every opportunity she can to act cool and practically shows no regards for others. She insulted her teacher for cosplaying as a wizard, tripped a schoolmate to fall down for seemingly the heck of it and threw another schoolmate to the trash-bin just because she was in a bad mood.





-For a superhero cartoon, the action is pretty lackluster. If you watch the original, one of the things you'll remember is that the action can be pretty exciting and quite violent. With the reboot on the other hand, it feels like the makers want to get the fight scene over with quickly, it's as if they were afraid to make it violent.





I could go on even more, like with how the studio was pushing toys out a little too much, or the awkward fact that one of the writers inserted himself as a character who ends up being Blossom's crush, but I think you would get it by now. It's not one of the worst shows I've seen, but it's just so bland and uninteresting, that I can't describe it any way other than a waste of time.





As for the original, I won't say it's one of my favorites, as I favored Courage the cowardly dog and Ed Edd n Eddy more at the time. I do however still view the show with high respect. It's the kind of show where the writers take full advantage of its exaggerated setting and relish in what they could do. Whether it's kids fighting against talking broccolis from space, citizens of the city turning into dogs, or a zombie magician wanting revenge for his death. The original PPG may not be one of the most well structured cartoons, but it is one of the more imaginative ones.
