I'm happy seeing this and probably laughing more than I would at seeing the actual movie.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We knew this take on the classic kids' animated series would age-up the characters and put a more mature spin on the premise, but we weren't anticipating this level of adult content. Look, maybe there is a market for a Powerpuff show in which Blossom threatens to leak Buttercup's nudes before interrupting her sister's marathon sex session, but if it's going to work, it'll probably need to be a just a little better-written.
