      MY THEORY: The PPG didn't accidentally go back in time. HIM just realized that they wouldn't be able to put up a fight, which would no longer be any fun for him, so he used his reality warping powers to turn back time.
      HIM doesn't really care about winning. He's a sadist that enjoys seeing people suffer. If everyone's already defeated, there wouldn't be anyone left to defeat. So he went back to a point in time where everyone was happy just so he had a chance to crush their spirits again.

      Looking back, I think the drawing episode is actually really smart. You can use drawing as an outlet, and then you can either simply cope with negativity through drawing or bolster the negativity. It's hard to explain
      But it hits hard how the episode is basically about what happens when you lean too far into negativity and let it corrupt your outlet

    There was also one episode in particular where HIM had the Professor as a hostage and forced the girls to solve his riddle within time or else the Professor "will pay". The joke being that this was all a bet for a free breakfast but in all seriousness this is how I see it, he successfully kidnapped the professor, forced the girls into playing his game following his rules, and he eventually won because the girls were off by a minute. All of this for a free breakfast which leads me to think it was playing with the "deal with the devil" theme meaning if he wanted to HIM could've actually claimed the professor as his reward.

    There is one episode where Bubbles hears the professor saying that he needs to make new ones. He was talking about their birthday cakes, but Bubbles thought that he met her and her sisters. There is a scene where they try to prove how great they are and there is a very heartbreaking moment where the professor is walking away and Blossom said.
    “I love you… dad.”
    That is the only time you hear Blossom call him dad instead of Professor. It made the scene even more sad. A somber violin tune would have made it even more impactful. It didn’t need it. Even though the episode ruins the surprise by saying be revealing to the viewer they were cakes, I felt Blossoms pain. I almost cried. It made me want to hug a cartoon character! The knowledge that the cakes are what needed to be redone it makes it funny when the clown there for the birthday party suggests eating the previous cakes, and the Power Puff Girls thought the professor was going to eat them. I know people that love Him. All of this makes him a great villain.

    I remember being an anxious kid growing up and being nervous about horror genre art/media (save for the child-friendly horror movies and shows on TV) until I became an adult, but it's interesting how some things that I should have been scared of would r/whoosh over my head as a kid. Even though I would recognize the characters were in dire circumstances and I should be wondering how they will get out of their predicament, Powerpuff Girls somehow didn't mess with my anxiety much. I guess it's because one of the first episodes I saw was "Bubblicious", and I related to Bubbles as I was also a shy/soft-spoken kid and could relate to feeling frustrated on what people assumed I could or couldn't handle (and it's also got some dark moments and mild gore too).
    "Abracadaver", "Mime for a Change", and "Blame it on the Boogie" were also great dark episodes too, especially with how they portrayed Al Lusion's death and resurrection.

    That's why this was the golden age of Western cartoons. They weren't afraid of showing kids disturbing stuff and ways to overcome it. Modern cartoons don't do this and you just feel nothing, or at best an awe for good guys defeating the bad guys. This is pointless entertainment. While with disturbing cartoons you can feel engaged in struggles of the protagonists and feel the same emotions as them. You can ponder philosophical and social issues and learn something from them. It's like the Invincible cartoon, but for kids.

    Him was apparently meant to be an overarching threat but after Speed Demon they got complaints from parents about how scary it was.

      I feel like they made him appear queer just to make him stand out more from other depictions of Satan. Usually the devil/demons are all "RAAAAAARRGGGHH! I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOOOUUUUL!!!!", with huge muscles and pulsating veins with spikes and fire, but HIM just stands out. I doubt the creator has any prejudices towards the LGBT people

      For reaaal omg, I adore HIM and Ursula (who was inspired by a drag queen). Personally I love a well-written/well-designed queer coded villain as long as they’re properly evil, and not evil *because* they’re queer. That’s the difference that makes one type more fun than the other.

    Lots of good children's stories include demons and, of course, His Evil Majesty Himself, Beelzebub **evil grin** On a more "sensible" note, I'd say that this is an inevitable stage in a kid's life, when they need to lose a little naivety and grow up a bit. Also, kids just love being scared (in stories) :)
