OMG I ALSO HATE THIS EPISODE!!. LOVE YOUR ANALYSIS!! The only reason I think the writers treated bad Buttercup its because she is seen as the most violent and independent Powerpuff Girl. I mean, Blossom it's independent too, but she kinda sticks with other people to get approval o help other with her own methods and ethics; and Bubbles can have her rage fits but are rare. Buttercup seems to be the most capable to alienate from others and go by herself, solving most of her and other peoples problems with negation and violence. Of course in a certain degree because it's clear in other episodes she is not a fan of being by herself (like the episode she doesn't take a bath) and neither she lives for violence. But because the writers see more of her toughness, they constructed her episodes and punishments to be tough as her (and sometimes make her more violent than she is). It's a shame because they could have explored more her sensible side (like you say) and show that even the rudest persons can have a sensible side in with friends and family can approach and have a legitimate and constructive conversation.
There was a comic issue of the Powerpuff Girls similar to it & it was done better. The plot was Bubbles loosing her first baby tooth (like in the cartoon), but instead of Buttercup being the bad guy; it was Mojo Jojo. Mojo disguises himself as the Tooth Fairy to steal Bubbles ' tooth (long story). And in the end, Bubbles gets a quarter & a note the Tooth Fairy to thank her for believing in her.
+Umbra Magna Because, for whatever reason, the show's writers seem to hate Buttercup with a burning passion and want little else than to make her suffer, even if they have to drag the rest of their characters down with her.
Blaze The Movie Fan Thank you so much! I know I haven’t uploaded in a while, but that’s mainly because my computer crashed. But I recently got a new laptop and I’m working on some new video ideas.
@@Umbra_Magna777Buttercup is consistently absed by her siblings and father, she's the Meg Griffin of PPG, I hope she does run away and find a new home and new family in adulthood. Her dad and sisters never cared about her and never shown it in one episode.
Blossom is a hypocrite because in a 'very special blossom' she stole clubs that the professor wanted and lied to Buttercup & Bubbles and so what makes her special about that
For a possible reason, the show's writers must've hate Buttercup. I can't believe they gave her the worse episodes even as the main character. I really hate the episodes that show's writers created for her, especially "Moral Decay", many characters on the episode were really out of character. 😠 She doesn't deserve that kind of treatment (at all), even though she is a fictional character. 😖 Luckily, there are few good episodes about Buttercup and each episode gave her great characterization and true human traits. These are the two episodes that I'm talking about: "Buttercrush" and "Make Zen Of Me", those are my favorite episodes that focused on Buttercup. She is a superhero with great intentions, she cares about the people she loves, especially her family and fight for justice. Ever since I watched *The Powerpuff Girls* since day one (I was four years old when the show came on air on Cartoon Network), Buttercup became my favorite Powerpuff girl because she is a tough little cookie with a heart of gold. A kind-hearted tomboy similar to Helga from "Hey Arnold" and Ashley Spinelli from "Recess." 🌷💛 At the age of seven, I used to dressed up as her on Halloween. 😊 If the writers continue the show with Season 7 or TV specials, they could've wrote better and sweet storylines for Buttercup: as the main character. For an example, under my creative thinking for a story: Professor Utonium's nephew, Kenny, visits Townsville and he is a rambunctious little troublemaker. The girls, even Buttercup did not like their cousin's behavior, so their father sends him to military school. Eventually, Buttercup fell in love with the all-boy military school instead. Until she sees the school is far more challenging due to the school prevent her to use her super powers. During the last day of military school, Buttercup faced the last challenge by crossing a log and avoid her falling to a pit of spoiled tartar sauce and fish heads. Buttercup did not use her superpowers but her strategic skills. The Commandant awards Buttercup a special medal "For Satisfactory Completion of the Gifted Level". Another Buttercup episode will be another sequel to "Buttercrush" which the episode "Aspirations" served as a true sequel. There were few hints/references to Buttercup's crush on Ace, leader of the GangGreen Gang. I loved the episode. Anyway, getting to my fanmade story for Buttercup. The GangGreen Gang is convicted of armed robbery of the Mayor's private bank. Buttercup convinced that Ace and his gang have been framed, so the Powerpuff Girls investigate the incident and discover that a rival gang (similar to GangGreen Gang) were the culprits due to their hatred on Ace and the others. After beating and sending them to jail, the police released the GangGreen Gang. The Powerpuff Girls told them that they will continue on catching them for any kind of juvenile crimes they committed. Ace calmly agreed with a smile and thanks not only the girls but Buttercup for standing up for the truth and sticking to his and the gang's convictions, and gives Buttercup a kiss on cheek...which made Buttercup blushing yet smiling. Despite being an criminal and almost killing her sisters (from "Buttercrush"), Buttercup forgives Ace. And that concludes my positive description and understanding on the Emerald Crusader. 💚💚💚
The sad moment when Ed Edd n Eddy did the "punish the jerk of the bunch for his/her sordid actions" trope much better with "Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?" That's how bad this episode is.
I hated this episode most of all. I know what Buttercup did was bad and wrong, but what her own family and the villains did to her was even worse. I'm totally with you on this one, sister.
Idk why i didn’t care that buttercup was beating up ppl for money I mean I know it was wrong but I thought it was funny lmfaooo but I hated how her sisters let her walk into the villains beating her up like if maybe the villains just plotted that against buttercup without her sisters then i would have been ok with it tbh like idc how bad buttercup messed up y’all r sisters y’all r supposed to be there for each other I understand the meaning of the episode was don’t let greed get the better of u and what goes around may come back around but they could have definitely written it better. And plus after rewatching this episode now I never Stan buttercup so hard like buttercuppppp 😂 I got u Fr bro 🥰
Rugrats handled this "tooth fairy" plot way better in that it made Angelica the antagonist, trying to pull out Chuckie's teeth. Angelica has already been established as a bully and terror to the babies, so her behavior is completely in-character.
As I mentioned in my comment on your Top 12 Worst Episodes, I don't see Mojo Jojo as the right villain to be the tooth hoarder. I think Princess still fits it better - her dad stops indulging her and she chooses the easy way out - get money for teeth.
Hannah Shribman-Brown That’s a very good point! Princess would be an excellent choice. I mainly said Mojo because he was the first one I could think of. :P
Okay I’ll be honest. I don’t hate Moral Decay. I USE to hate Moral Decay, like a LOT. I thought Buttercup’s actions were extremely out of character and were only an excuse to see her get pummeled. But then… I started watching Ed Edd n Eddy… and that’s when I realized… Greed can takeover anybody. Like Professor in A Very Special Blossom. He REALLY wanted those golf clubs and was willing to neglect Bubbles’ and Buttercup’s questions as to how Blossom got them. So it’s not just Buttercup. And it was her first time, this small child, receiving money. Of course it’s a big deal for her. And for some, like Blossom and Bubbles, it’s not as big of a deal. All children are different. And let’s not forget that Buttercup felt really bad about hurting Bubbles… but then that overtaking greed comes back into play when she realizes that getting more of Bubbles’ teeth will get her more money. But she’s still in there, her good side. She’s realizes that she can get teeth from bad guys, people she’s actually SUPPOSE to beat up. She flies to hotline, hoping there will be more crimes, so she doesn’t instantly go after anybody. Again, her goodness is still there. But then that greed returns and she grows impatient. Although, she does ONLY go after bad guys, so at least she was seeing with some form of justice. Greed makes us do horrible things, but it doesn’t automatically make us a bad person. And afterward, Buttercup never did anything like this again. She’s clearly sorry for what she’s done, even if she won’t admit it.
I personally hate how they have Buttercup knocking out people's teeth thinking "She's knocking out villains' teeth, so the fans won't care." NO YOU STUPID SONS OF BITCHES!!! Just because they're bad guys doesn't mean it's ok for Buttercup to mercilessly knock their teeth out. And of course, it shows Buttercup as the one person in the show who hides behind what comes with her job. Nobody condones cops shooting civilians and then hiding behind the "it comes with the job" excuse. But that's what Buttercup is doing in this episode. Why should Buttercup be able to hide behind her job? And of course, having her get her teeth knocked out for what she did doesn't work either. Why couldn't you have the Professor finding out what Buttercup was doing and talk to her about it and punish her in a parental way? It's cliché, sure, but it's the only way to make something like this work. NOT COOL
MrBrandonStar They really were, and that just makes it more painful to watch, especially since the only reason they were out of character was to teach a lesson. I take character derailment very seriously. You just can't sacrifice character for the sake of telling a story.
MrBrandonStar What makes it even worse is that Bubbles did essentially the same thing in "Bubblevicious" and got away with it. The only difference is that she wasn't specifically targeting teeth. :/
The Power Puff Girls have worked with the villains in the past, especially in that episode where that male superhero was faking crimes just to be a glory hound. Bubbles and Blossom could have worked out with the villains but not to the point where they actually watched their sister get brutally beat. Maybe, the villains and the sisters could have had an intervention for Buttercup, at least they would have been shown to care for her and not so fucking spiteful. Of course, who would want to see that since it's "boring" and over "preachy." I am also surprised that Buttercup didn't call out anyone for their hypocrisy.
(for real. her knocking out people’s teeth for dollars from the tooth fairy and getting karma by the bad guys after being fooled by Blossom and Bubbles was really unsatisfying. still everyone needs to learn their lesson and be responsible with facing the consequences of actions.)
Blossom and Bubbles act like an oldest and youngest child respectively, so where does that leave Buttercup? She is rather angsty and seems to feel unnoticed compared to them, just like most middle children.
+Joe Segal The "middle child" thing is certainly a strong possibility; but given her general treatment in pretty much all of her focus episodes, and even some that aren't, I'm personally becoming increasingly more inclined to think she's the "Meg" of the Utonium family...
If I was you all, I wouldn't match the personnality with Older/Younger statut. Same goes with Boy/Girl statut. And hey, a younger sibling can show some responsability to the older one. By the way, aren't we just grown up children?
while they are superheroes and while this ep and others like it may be uncomfortable out of true character flawed aggressive I gotta admit...thats what makes me like the characters more when they are flawed then always perfect and with buttercup her being selfish is good to see sometimes...she gets passionate about what she loves....it makes the beatings they take more justified and makes them easier to root for .knowing they like everyone are straddling a line of delusion and going down a rabbit hole of mistakes and giving into bad urges habbits vices
That's also what I remember distinctly liking about the Powerpuff Girls. They really emphasize that though the girls are heroes, they are STILL five-year-old children who can make huge mistakes.
Mistakes is one thing, but being physically abusive is another. I didn’t mind some of her other episodes too much. In “Buttercrush”, for example, Buttercup runs away from home and hangs out with Ace, which is a mistake, but at least she never actually hurt anyone. The most she really did was tie sandbags to a cat’s feet, which wasn’t really nice but didn’t actually hurt the cat. Even “Paste Makes Waste” did a good job of this. It showed how Buttercup succumbed to peer pressure and teased Elmer even though she knew it was wrong. But at least she never seriously hurt him, and they actually ended up becoming friends in the end. “Moral Decay” just takes things too far. I mean, who beats up their sisters for money?
@@Umbra_Magna777 Every other tooth fairy plot with a greedy antagonist usually uses an appropriate character, like Eddy from Ed, Edd 'n Eddy or Angelica from Rugrats. Buttercup wasn't an appropriate character to use. I could see her getting the idea to knock out crooks' teeth for money, but not hurting her own sisters.
*Attention all Buttercup fans:* The next time someone asks you why you like/love Buttercup so much, respond with "Because someone has to." Honestly, the only thing that can save this horrendous episode's plot at this point is a well-written revenge-fic......... unfortunately, those seem to be in rather short supply these days...
buttercup is tough so she doesnt need to be babied and loved ….I always saw her as the middle child but basically born right after so she thinks shes the oldest and can do what she wants to get out of her sisters shadows so she rebels
You know, re-watching this episode again (reluctantly of course), I think Blossom and Bubbles weren't even trying to teach Buttercup a lesson. They just simply wanted to savor the enjoyment of seeing their sister getting pummeled and her teeth knocked out. If they really wanted to teach her a lesson, they would've had her see the errors of her greedy ways and what it's done to her. I mean Buttercup can be a bit of a bitch at times, but she's able to see what she's become, even if it takes a while for her to admit it. Instead, they just wanted to see her get her teeth knocked out for the enjoyment. Their smug expressions after she took that beating were pretty questionable to say the least. Everyone in this episode is so out-of-character that it may as well could've went that way. That actually makes this episode worse when you think about it.
I agree with you completely. Buttercup isn't perfect by any means, but at least she acknowledges her flaws and tries to make them right. Blossom and Bubbles, on the other hand, have flaws that are even more frustrating because they won't try to correct them and even go so far as to justify them at times. Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't bring a bag of popcorn to munch on as they watched their sister get beaten.
Umbra Magna I think Buttercup acknowledges her flaws because the characters in the episode (mostly Blossom) force her to do it even when she hasn’t done anything wrong. Makes Zen to Me, Not So Awesome Blossom, etc. just to name a few episodes. Bubbles everyone just forgives her and leaves it at that. Blossom is just too goody two shoes and little miss perfect to be portrayed as in the wrong. I really don’t see what makes Buttercup’s cases so different. Buttercup could be a little moody but she still has a good heart and deeply cares about her home town and her family.
I feel like Buttercup turn into Greed, a sin that love for money. I don't mean to defend this episode, it is so mean-spirited that Bubbles and Blossom were heartless in this one. Kids wanted to have thing which use money and than realise that teeth make money. So, I though why Buttercup wanted money to buy something, though her goal is not defined. However, better have teeth than money, because you need them for eating and feel your body. It is even worst in Teen Titans Go, that the team, except Raven, rip off teeth to gain money, to the point they will not eat again. (They are supposed to be TEENS!) I hate the protrayal of others characteres than Buttercup. I feel so bad for her... She is just a child, they have to learn her mistake, not in a mean-spirited way. 7:30
Moral Decay didn’t sit well with me either as a child. When I was younger, my elder sister would always say she’s Blossom, I’m Buttercup, and our baby sister was Bubbles. I didn’t want to be Buttercup, not because I didn’t like her, but because 1. Bubbles was my favorite when I was younger and I wanted to be her, and 2. I thought Buttercup was treated pretty unfairly in the series, especially in Moral Decay, so I didn’t want to be her cause there were a lot of moments in the show where she was treated unfairly/was kind of a jerk. However, I don’t think Down n Dirty was a terrible episode. I like the part where Blossom and Bubbles bathe Buttercup and wear gas masks while doing so.
I can't tell whether or not Buttercup actually had regret for what she did. That sad face of hers makes it semi-ambiguous as to how she actually felt, since she could've just been disappointed that her money was taken. What do you think?
Well actually in the season 6 episode Pee-Pee G's there is sort of a moment like that between Buttercup and the Professor where the Professor basically explains,in his own way,that wetting the bed is a perfectly common thing to do as a child. Sure the moment is meant to be more comedic than Professor's prior talks with the girls,but him saying "Aren’t you glad we had this talk" as well as his inner monolog of him repeating "I can do this"(which I think is basically him trying to explain it in a way that won't embarass his daughter) I feel like It can be considered a sweet moment in it's own way. Sure the episode is most definitely *not* the best and the moment is more on the comedy side of things,but I think it does show the Professor genuinely does care a lot about Buttercup like he does Blossom and Bubbles.
I remember when I watch this episode for the first time when I was 10 or 11, I remembered feeling uncomfortable afterwards, I couldn’t find out why, I was like even though Buttercup realized what she did was wrong afterwards, I felt like was this punishment too far? Now that I’m older, I realize that yes the punishment was too far, even though I hated what Buttercup did to everyone in this episode, I didn’t like how her family didn’t care that she was beaten up, it made so uncomfortable when I first watched it that I never want to watch this episode ever again! 😰😡😢 Even though Buttercup is not my favorite and what she did was wrong and was out of character, I didn’t want to see get her get beat up and treated like garbage by her family. So it was good to see I’m not the only one who hates this episode.
I understand that, but doesn't it seem off that he doesn't care in the slightest that his own daughter was beaten up? I swear I can feel my stomach turn over every time I so much as think about that moment.
+Umbra Magna You do have a point there. Have you seen the episodes 'Sweet n Sour' and 'All Chalked Up'? In 'Sweet n Sour', the PowerPuff Girls are scolded for trying to detain the criminals because they are cute animals. And in 'All Chalked Up', Bubbles fails to recognise the voice AND the look of Him disguised as a butterfly. She doesn't even get scolded for creating drawings that come to life and destroy the school, putting everyone in the school in danger.
MysteriousGirl 92 “Sweet n Sour” was awful and “All Chalked Up” was even worse. I hated how Buttercup was portrayed as a jerk to Bubbles in both episodes. :/
I think there was a comic where Mojo Jojo steals people's teeth and the girls catch him. Honestly, that was a major improvement to this sick excuse for an episode.
Buttercup did not deserve that off of both episodes she was a happy child on the movie until meaningful name because it begins with a b he didn't have no thoughts homemade Buttercup feels I don't think she have a connection to her family I thought she did he would give her a better name that's why she was mad all the time because affected her, And the professor never been proud of her and encouragement talking Too. Poor girl I want to give her a hug so bad!!! Who will take things from My Little girl!!
ACTUALLY THAT'S Y BUTTERCUP HATES BEING COMPARED TO HER SISTERS. SHE WANTS TO B HER OWN PERSON, SHE JUST WANTS TO BE NOTICED, HECK THE FIRST THIN SHE WAS TOLD WAS "AND YOUR BUTTERCUP, CAUSE... IT ALSO STARTS WITH A B". REALLY HOW LOW CAN THAT GET!!!
MAKOTO KAISER I know that really made me mad. She seemed like a happy-go-lucky kid. The professor put some thought into the others names. Just based on the first letter of their names. Buttercup might get her more "aggressive side," just because of a disconnection from a supportive family. When Buttercup moves out of the house, she should make the right decision to move in with sensei. She was much happier with him than with her sisters. In "Cover Up," it just shows how much Blossom unfavors her sister and how Bubbles doesn't understand Buttercup's affection to her blanket, but they both don't understand her affection due to her personality. You know the reacuring "Tough, never cry, not a baby, doesn't sleep with toys," stereotype. Buttercup has been traumatized. #PoorButtecup
I agree that the Professor should have been more caring of Buttercup but remember the episode Shut The Pup Up? Or to be exact the part where Bubbles and Buttercup were fighting over who gets the prize? Notice how he intervened after Bubbles called Buttercup a bully not after Buttercup called Bubbles a baby. Also when he was telling both of them to think before they speak notice how he put his hand on Buttercups shoulders almost as if in a comforting way and how he was looking at Bubbles the entire time. He could've been sticking up for her then.
Good point! I hadn't thought about that one. But that's more left to interpretation than anything else. Most of the time with Blossom and Bubbles, he has shown kindness to them outright.
There was that time professor tried to explain how urinating works the best way he could when buttercup(and her sisters) were struggling with their confidence
nikosafer1 Thanks! I'm glad that you think the quality of this one is better. The other one was my first critique video, so I didn't have as much experience at that point. As for the episode, I'm glad that we share similar views. :)
Umbra Magna, after watching your review, and looking back at this episode, I remember why Buttercup (In my opinion) is my least favorite character in this show.
Which PPG did the worst crime in the show?: Stealing 2,000 dollar golf clubs Knocking out only criminals' teeth (even when they do no crimes at the moment) for money Brutally injuring people who either barely did actual crimes or did crimes only worthy of lesser punishments
Just rewatched this episode and thought it was dreadful, so immediately had to look up if anyone saw what I meant, and I'm glad you recognise the poor characterisation. Buttercup is my favourite, and honestly, before this video I hadn't considered the fact that she is often poorly treated. A lot of people would say Blossom gets poor episodes (I can see the argument for this), but yeah, I honestly can't remember many moments of just her with the Professor. Buttercup was doing a really messed up thing in this episode and deserved punishment, but I completely agree that letting her essentially get jumped was bad. It wouldn't have been so bad if the villains found a way to orchestrate it, but the fact that her sisters were in on it??? Honestly, yeah the tooth fairy aspect isn't explained, and Buttercup doesn't even have much of a reason to like money, it just felt so forced in the start of the episode.
I have. I think that episode is okay. I like the part where Buttercup accidentally hits her sisters thinking it's the villains and Blossom says to just fight their counterparts. That was pretty funny. XD
This is maybe 2 years too late, but Buttercup has "middle child syndrome". Even her name wasn't as thought out as her sisters. Professor admitted that it was just a name that also began with a B. Now it's not as overt as Buttercup being the _Meg_ of the series, but she is certainly treated rougher. And why? Is it because she's "the toughest fighter"? A tomboy? If so, that's a horrible reason. It's basically saying her personality causes her to be treated this way. At the end of the day, she's still just a little girl. Also, you are so right about hypocrisy. Buttercup gets punished for beating up people and knocking their teeth out yet wasn't there an episode where Bubbles did the same thing (including a poor dog) and not only did she NOT get a punishment, she got praise for being "hardcore"? It's always iffy when they try to make Buttercup the antagonist of the episode. All Chalked Up is even worse with her behavior, making her stomp on Bubbles' chalk for horrendously petty reasons. She even had a smirk on her face as Bubbles cried in a way I've never heard her cry before. Like, realistic crying. I wasn't okay with her having to give up her blanket either in Cover Up. How come she has to get rid of her blanket, yet Bubbles gets to keep Octi? Once again, SHE'S A FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL. FIVE YEAR OLDS HAVE COMFORT OBJECTS. And it always seems like they cut out the _talking_ part with Buttercup. How hard would it have been for Blossom to talk some sense into Buttercup for the teeth thing? But no, it was almost like they WANTED to see her get beaten up. Same with the bath. Why not have the Professor talk with her about the importance of hygiene? No? Just kick your own daughter out of the house? Okay then!
There is another reboot of the powerpuff girls with the original voice actors (except for the professor) and Craig McKrackin (unsure of spelling). I have read some of the summary and once again Bubbles is the hero and Buttercup is the villain. I would want in the first episode of the newest reboot would be Buttercup getting her special powers pretty equal to Blossom and Bubbles. I also want a more Rowdyruff Boys to since they also have some family drama where Boomer gets yelled at by Brick and unlike Bubbles he doesn’t have the same support as Bubbles since Boomer is a villain and he doesn’t have anyone to take care of him, and Butch who is also very aggressive but not talkative and he acts a bit off compared to his brothers. He could possibly be in the same situation as Buttercup since they are both the middle kids. I feel like their needs to be a movie about Buttercup and how she is treated and once she finally speaks out and proves her worth, the Professor apologizes to her and maybe give an excuse that he thought her sisters needed it more or something and admits to being wrong and they could finally share heart warming moment. As for the reboot, I don’t know how often I will watch it with Bubbles getting most of the love while Buttercup’s solo moments are about her being an antagonist without giving her something really special.
I meant encouragement from Professor specifically. But yeah, I liked that moment in "Powernoia." Blossom was great at giving her sisters pep talks in that episode.
Umbra Magna yes everyone in the PPG fandom community (the one I’m a part of) loves Blossom and I don’t. I love Bubbles and Buttercup (even more thanks to you) and I think Blossom is a stuck up butt hole. That’s actually what I’m infamous for. So I come here to discuss my defense for Buttercup and my hate for Blossom. Because I know I’ll be able to fully express my real opinion without getting backlash. I know it sounds sad but it’s true.
@@HackiePuffsHey! That is rude! Don't talk like that about my favourite girl Blossom! Buuuut - instead of fighting about it, i have a better idea, why don't do it the Bubbles' way and give them all some love! Quote Bubbles: " *crying noises* I don't like arguing, why can't we all get along?" - (Octi Evil, iirc?)
@@Lucifer-hq5pe while my hate for Blossom has died down a bit after a few years I still prefer the other 2. But nowadays I found some aspects of her character that I can appreciate. Although telling people who just share their opinion that they’re being “rude” for not liking a character that you do and then go “but let’s not fight about it ☺️” lol what?? 🤣
@@HackiePuffs Nothing wrong with prefering someone, but i think calling someone an asshole was rude. Would you prefer if i had wrote down an insult instead of quoting a great line of Bubbles?
Ravelsa Minor Okay, I've made a Top 20 episodes list, and "Tough Love" is on it, if you're curious. Here's the link: m.ruclips.net/video/TstiTACLgJg/видео.html
I literally hate the ending of moral decay more than any other parts of that episode. It feels like nobody cares about buttercup and it makes me sad 😢.
Buttercup only deserved to be beaten up as much as the worst that any single one character got. Wasn't fair to get attacked by so many times more than what just one character got.
6:01 Okay to be fair at least Buttercup blasts her back for what she calls "Blossoms Leadership" yeah Blossom can be so boastful, and some of her logic makes no sense.
OMG I ALSO HATE THIS EPISODE!!. LOVE YOUR ANALYSIS!! The only reason I think the writers treated bad Buttercup its because she is seen as the most violent and independent Powerpuff Girl. I mean, Blossom it's independent too, but she kinda sticks with other people to get approval o help other with her own methods and ethics; and Bubbles can have her rage fits but are rare. Buttercup seems to be the most capable to alienate from others and go by herself, solving most of her and other peoples problems with negation and violence. Of course in a certain degree because it's clear in other episodes she is not a fan of being by herself (like the episode she doesn't take a bath) and neither she lives for violence.
But because the writers see more of her toughness, they constructed her episodes and punishments to be tough as her (and sometimes make her more violent than she is). It's a shame because they could have explored more her sensible side (like you say) and show that even the rudest persons can have a sensible side in with friends and family can approach and have a legitimate and constructive conversation.
There was a comic issue of the Powerpuff Girls similar to it & it was done better.
The plot was Bubbles loosing her first baby tooth (like in the cartoon), but instead of Buttercup being the bad guy; it was Mojo Jojo.
Mojo disguises himself as the Tooth Fairy to steal Bubbles ' tooth (long story).

Because, for whatever reason, the show's writers seem to hate Buttercup with a burning passion and want little else than to make her suffer, even if they have to drag the rest of their characters down with her.
Yo know what? If we we're to do this episode right, let's have princess morbucks steel the teeth

Blaze The Movie Fan Thank you so much! I know I haven’t uploaded in a while, but that’s mainly because my computer crashed. But I recently got a new laptop and I’m working on some new video ideas.
@@Umbra_Magna777Buttercup is consistently absed by her siblings and father, she's the Meg Griffin of PPG, I hope she does run away and find a new home and new family in adulthood. Her dad and sisters never cared about her and never shown it in one episode.
Blossom is a hypocrite because in a 'very special blossom' she stole clubs that the professor wanted and lied to Buttercup & Bubbles and so what makes her special about that
For a possible reason, the show's writers must've hate Buttercup. I can't believe they gave her the worse episodes even as the main character. I really hate the episodes that show's writers created for her, especially "Moral Decay", many characters on the episode were really out of character. 😠 She doesn't deserve that kind of treatment (at all), even though she is a fictional character. 😖
Luckily, there are few good episodes about Buttercup and each episode gave her great characterization and true human traits. These are the two episodes that I'm talking about: "Buttercrush" and "Make Zen Of Me", those are my favorite episodes that focused on Buttercup. She is a superhero with great intentions, she cares about the people she loves, especially her family and fight for justice.
Ever since I watched *The Powerpuff Girls* since day one (I was four years old when the show came on air on Cartoon Network), Buttercup became my favorite Powerpuff girl because she is a tough little cookie with a heart of gold. A kind-hearted tomboy similar to Helga from "Hey Arnold" and Ashley Spinelli from "Recess."
🌷💛
At the age of seven, I used to dressed up as her on Halloween. 😊
If the writers continue the show with Season 7 or TV specials, they could've wrote better and sweet storylines for Buttercup: as the main character.
For an example, under my creative thinking for a story: Professor Utonium's nephew, Kenny, visits Townsville and he is a rambunctious little troublemaker. The girls, even Buttercup did not like their cousin's behavior, so their father sends him to military school. Eventually, Buttercup fell in love with the all-boy military school instead. Until she sees the school is far more challenging due to the school prevent her to use her super powers. During the last day of military school, Buttercup faced the last challenge by crossing a log and avoid her falling to a pit of spoiled tartar sauce and fish heads. Buttercup did not use her superpowers but her strategic skills. The Commandant awards Buttercup a special medal "For Satisfactory Completion of the Gifted Level".
Another Buttercup episode will be another sequel to "Buttercrush" which the episode "Aspirations" served as a true sequel. There were few hints/references to Buttercup's crush on Ace, leader of the GangGreen Gang. I loved the episode. Anyway, getting to my fanmade story for Buttercup. The GangGreen Gang is convicted of armed robbery of the Mayor's private bank. Buttercup convinced that Ace and his gang have been framed, so the Powerpuff Girls investigate the incident and discover that a rival gang (similar to GangGreen Gang) were the culprits due to their hatred on Ace and the others. After beating and sending them to jail, the police released the GangGreen Gang. The Powerpuff Girls told them that they will continue on catching them for any kind of juvenile crimes they committed. Ace calmly agreed with a smile and thanks not only the girls but Buttercup for standing up for the truth and sticking to his and the gang's convictions, and gives Buttercup a kiss on cheek...which made Buttercup blushing yet smiling. Despite being an criminal and almost killing her sisters (from "Buttercrush"), Buttercup forgives Ace.
And that concludes my positive description and understanding on the Emerald Crusader. 💚💚💚
The sad moment when Ed Edd n Eddy did the "punish the jerk of the bunch for his/her sordid actions" trope much better with "Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?" That's how bad this episode is.
I hated this episode most of all. I know what Buttercup did was bad and wrong, but what her own family and the villains did to her was even worse.
I'm totally with you on this one, sister.
Thank you! I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Idk why i didn’t care that buttercup was beating up ppl for money I mean I know it was wrong but I thought it was funny lmfaooo but I hated how her sisters let her walk into the villains beating her up like if maybe the villains just plotted that against buttercup without her sisters then i would have been ok with it tbh like idc how bad buttercup messed up y’all r sisters y’all r supposed to be there for each other I understand the meaning of the episode was don’t let greed get the better of u and what goes around may come back around but they could have definitely written it better. And plus after rewatching this episode now I never Stan buttercup so hard like buttercuppppp 😂 I got u Fr bro 🥰
Rugrats handled this "tooth fairy" plot way better in that it made Angelica the antagonist, trying to pull out Chuckie's teeth. Angelica has already been established as a bully and terror to the babies, so her behavior is completely in-character.
This episode broke my heart. Buttercup is y favourite a nd watching this was just cruel. They show no concern for their sister/daughter what so ever
Park Jimin I totally agree with you! It’s like the writers hate Buttercup!
@@saraimarks3044I hope Buttercup gets away from her horrible family when she's older.
As I mentioned in my comment on your Top 12 Worst Episodes, I don't see Mojo Jojo as the right villain to be the tooth hoarder. I think Princess still fits it better - her dad stops indulging her and she chooses the easy way out - get money for teeth.
Hannah Shribman-Brown That’s a very good point! Princess would be an excellent choice. I mainly said Mojo because he was the first one I could think of. :P
Even that Buttercup can be the polarzing of the three,she doesn't deserve this.
Okay I’ll be honest. I don’t hate Moral Decay.
I USE to hate Moral Decay, like a LOT. I thought Buttercup’s actions were extremely out of character and were only an excuse to see her get pummeled.
But then… I started watching Ed Edd n Eddy… and that’s when I realized… Greed can takeover anybody.
Like Professor in A Very Special Blossom. He REALLY wanted those golf clubs and was willing to neglect Bubbles’ and Buttercup’s questions as to how Blossom got them. So it’s not just Buttercup.
And it was her first time, this small child, receiving money. Of course it’s a big deal for her. And for some, like Blossom and Bubbles, it’s not as big of a deal. All children are different.
And let’s not forget that Buttercup felt really bad about hurting Bubbles… but then that overtaking greed comes back into play when she realizes that getting more of Bubbles’ teeth will get her more money.
But she’s still in there, her good side. She’s realizes that she can get teeth from bad guys, people she’s actually SUPPOSE to beat up. She flies to hotline, hoping there will be more crimes, so she doesn’t instantly go after anybody. Again, her goodness is still there. But then that greed returns and she grows impatient.
Although, she does ONLY go after bad guys, so at least she was seeing with some form of justice.
Greed makes us do horrible things, but it doesn’t automatically make us a bad person.
And afterward, Buttercup never did anything like this again. She’s clearly sorry for what she’s done, even if she won’t admit it.
I personally hate how they have Buttercup knocking out people's teeth thinking "She's knocking out villains' teeth, so the fans won't care." NO YOU STUPID SONS OF BITCHES!!! Just because they're bad guys doesn't mean it's ok for Buttercup to mercilessly knock their teeth out. And of course, it shows Buttercup as the one person in the show who hides behind what comes with her job. Nobody condones cops shooting civilians and then hiding behind the "it comes with the job" excuse. But that's what Buttercup is doing in this episode. Why should Buttercup be able to hide behind her job? And of course, having her get her teeth knocked out for what she did doesn't work either. Why couldn't you have the Professor finding out what Buttercup was doing and talk to her about it and punish her in a parental way? It's cliché, sure, but it's the only way to make something like this work. NOT COOL
Ppg reboot AT LEAST show some remorse for buttercup like princess buttercup buttercup admits she was wrong and blossom AT LEAST forgives her
everyone was out of character in this episode
MrBrandonStar They really were, and that just makes it more painful to watch, especially since the only reason they were out of character was to teach a lesson. I take character derailment very seriously. You just can't sacrifice character for the sake of telling a story.
Umbra Magna yeah
Umbra Magna and the part I hate the most is when bubbles and blossom worked with the villains
MrBrandonStar What makes it even worse is that Bubbles did essentially the same thing in "Bubblevicious" and got away with it. The only difference is that she wasn't specifically targeting teeth. :/
The Power Puff Girls have worked with the villains in the past, especially in that episode where that male superhero was faking crimes just to be a glory hound.
Bubbles and Blossom could have worked out with the villains but not to the point where they actually watched their sister get brutally beat. Maybe, the villains and the sisters could have had an intervention for Buttercup, at least they would have been shown to care for her and not so fucking spiteful. Of course, who would want to see that since it's "boring" and over "preachy." I am also surprised that Buttercup didn't call out anyone for their hypocrisy.
(for real. her knocking out people’s teeth for dollars from the tooth fairy and getting karma by the bad guys after being fooled by Blossom and Bubbles was really unsatisfying. still everyone needs to learn their lesson and be responsible with facing the consequences of actions.)
Basically, knowing someone did something bad, doesn't justify you doing something even worse to them!
@Tigerlily3993 Yeah, I've been thinking that too
I wore braces when I was 11-14, so this episode is even more offensive to ME.
DJ Mutt I wore braces when I was 12-15. Flossing was the WORST! 😂
Would you consider Buttercup to be a middle child in terms of personality?
Joe Segal It would certainly make sense, generally speaking, though they are technically the same age.
Blossom and Bubbles act like an oldest and youngest child respectively, so where does that leave Buttercup? She is rather angsty and seems to feel unnoticed compared to them, just like most middle children.
+Joe Segal
The "middle child" thing is certainly a strong possibility; but given her general treatment in pretty much all of her focus episodes, and even some that aren't, I'm personally becoming increasingly more inclined to think she's the "Meg" of the Utonium family...
1992holycrap I'm going to have to agree with you on that one.
If I was you all, I wouldn't match the personnality with Older/Younger statut. Same goes with Boy/Girl statut.
And hey, a younger sibling can show some responsability to the older one.
By the way, aren't we just grown up children?
and by derailment, you mean the train fell of a high bridge, hit the ocean and exploded onto a boat?
Exactly. I could not have said it better myself.
while they are superheroes and while this ep and others like it may be uncomfortable out of true character flawed aggressive I gotta admit...thats what makes me like the characters more when they are flawed then always perfect and with buttercup her being selfish is good to see sometimes...she gets passionate about what she loves....it makes the beatings they take more justified and makes them easier to root for .knowing they like everyone are straddling a line of delusion and going down a rabbit hole of mistakes and giving into bad urges habbits vices
That's also what I remember distinctly liking about the Powerpuff Girls. They really emphasize that though the girls are heroes, they are STILL five-year-old children who can make huge mistakes.
Mistakes is one thing, but being physically abusive is another. I didn’t mind some of her other episodes too much. In “Buttercrush”, for example, Buttercup runs away from home and hangs out with Ace, which is a mistake, but at least she never actually hurt anyone. The most she really did was tie sandbags to a cat’s feet, which wasn’t really nice but didn’t actually hurt the cat. Even “Paste Makes Waste” did a good job of this. It showed how Buttercup succumbed to peer pressure and teased Elmer even though she knew it was wrong. But at least she never seriously hurt him, and they actually ended up becoming friends in the end. “Moral Decay” just takes things too far. I mean, who beats up their sisters for money?
@@Umbra_Magna777 Every other tooth fairy plot with a greedy antagonist usually uses an appropriate character, like Eddy from Ed, Edd 'n Eddy or Angelica from Rugrats. Buttercup wasn't an appropriate character to use. I could see her getting the idea to knock out crooks' teeth for money, but not hurting her own sisters.
*Attention all Buttercup fans:*
The next time someone asks you why you like/love Buttercup so much, respond with "Because someone has to."
Honestly, the only thing that can save this horrendous episode's plot at this point is a well-written revenge-fic......... unfortunately, those seem to be in rather short supply these days...
buttercup is tough so she doesnt need to be babied and loved ….I always saw her as the middle child but basically born right after so she thinks shes the oldest and can do what she wants to get out of her sisters shadows so she rebels
You know, re-watching this episode again (reluctantly of course), I think Blossom and Bubbles weren't even trying to teach Buttercup a lesson. They just simply wanted to savor the enjoyment of seeing their sister getting pummeled and her teeth knocked out. If they really wanted to teach her a lesson, they would've had her see the errors of her greedy ways and what it's done to her. I mean Buttercup can be a bit of a bitch at times, but she's able to see what she's become, even if it takes a while for her to admit it. Instead, they just wanted to see her get her teeth knocked out for the enjoyment. Their smug expressions after she took that beating were pretty questionable to say the least. Everyone in this episode is so out-of-character that it may as well could've went that way. That actually makes this episode worse when you think about it.
I agree with you completely. Buttercup isn't perfect by any means, but at least she acknowledges her flaws and tries to make them right. Blossom and Bubbles, on the other hand, have flaws that are even more frustrating because they won't try to correct them and even go so far as to justify them at times. Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't bring a bag of popcorn to munch on as they watched their sister get beaten.
Umbra Magna I think Buttercup acknowledges her flaws because the characters in the episode (mostly Blossom) force her to do it even when she hasn’t done anything wrong. Makes Zen to Me, Not So Awesome Blossom, etc. just to name a few episodes. Bubbles everyone just forgives her and leaves it at that. Blossom is just too goody two shoes and little miss perfect to be portrayed as in the wrong. I really don’t see what makes Buttercup’s cases so different. Buttercup could be a little moody but she still has a good heart and deeply cares about her home town and her family.
Exactly, and kids their age don’t care about teaching their siblings lessons about morals, they just like seeing their siblings in trouble.
I feel like Buttercup turn into Greed, a sin that love for money. I don't mean to defend this episode, it is so mean-spirited that Bubbles and Blossom were heartless in this one. Kids wanted to have thing which use money and than realise that teeth make money. So, I though why Buttercup wanted money to buy something, though her goal is not defined.
However, better have teeth than money, because you need them for eating and feel your body. It is even worst in Teen Titans Go, that the team, except Raven, rip off teeth to gain money, to the point they will not eat again. (They are supposed to be TEENS!)
I hate the protrayal of others characteres than Buttercup. I feel so bad for her...
She is just a child, they have to learn her mistake, not in a mean-spirited way. 7:30
If anyone could think of ONE suitable Punishment for Blossom & Bubbles in this episode, What would it be exactly?
Moral Decay didn’t sit well with me either as a child. When I was younger, my elder sister would always say she’s Blossom, I’m Buttercup, and our baby sister was Bubbles. I didn’t want to be Buttercup, not because I didn’t like her, but because 1. Bubbles was my favorite when I was younger and I wanted to be her, and 2. I thought Buttercup was treated pretty unfairly in the series, especially in Moral Decay, so I didn’t want to be her cause there were a lot of moments in the show where she was treated unfairly/was kind of a jerk. However, I don’t think Down n Dirty was a terrible episode. I like the part where Blossom and Bubbles bathe Buttercup and wear gas masks while doing so.
I can't tell whether or not Buttercup actually had regret for what she did. That sad face of hers makes it semi-ambiguous as to how she actually felt, since she could've just been disappointed that her money was taken. What do you think?
Joe Segal I don't really know. Honestly, she was so out of character at this point that it really could've gone either way.
Well actually in the season 6 episode Pee-Pee G's there is sort of a moment like that between Buttercup and the Professor where the Professor basically explains,in his own way,that wetting the bed is a perfectly common thing to do as a child. Sure the moment is meant to be more comedic than Professor's prior talks with the girls,but him saying "Aren’t you glad we had this talk" as well as his inner monolog of him repeating "I can do this"(which I think is basically him trying to explain it in a way that won't embarass his daughter) I feel like It can be considered a sweet moment in it's own way.
Sure the episode is most definitely *not* the best and the moment is more on the comedy side of things,but I think it does show the Professor genuinely does care a lot about Buttercup like he does Blossom and Bubbles.
I remember when I watch this episode for the first time when I was 10 or 11, I remembered feeling uncomfortable afterwards, I couldn’t find out why, I was like even though Buttercup realized what she did was wrong afterwards, I felt like was this punishment too far?
Now that I’m older, I realize that yes the punishment was too far, even though I hated what Buttercup did to everyone in this episode, I didn’t like how her family didn’t care that she was beaten up, it made so uncomfortable when I first watched it that I never want to watch this episode ever again! 😰😡😢
Even though Buttercup is not my favorite and what she did was wrong and was out of character, I didn’t want to see get her get beat up and treated like garbage by her family.
So it was good to see I’m not the only one who hates this episode.
Umbra magna buttercup is my character favorite too
Behold, the No Such Luck of The Powerpuff Girls.
6:20 Utonium is saying that he is disappointed with Buttercup for her actions.
I understand that, but doesn't it seem off that he doesn't care in the slightest that his own daughter was beaten up? I swear I can feel my stomach turn over every time I so much as think about that moment.
+Umbra Magna
You do have a point there.
Have you seen the episodes 'Sweet n Sour' and 'All Chalked Up'? In 'Sweet n Sour', the PowerPuff Girls are scolded for trying to detain the criminals because they are cute animals.
And in 'All Chalked Up', Bubbles fails to recognise the voice AND the look of Him disguised as a butterfly. She doesn't even get scolded for creating drawings that come to life and destroy the school, putting everyone in the school in danger.
MysteriousGirl 92 “Sweet n Sour” was awful and “All Chalked Up” was even worse. I hated how Buttercup was portrayed as a jerk to Bubbles in both episodes. :/
Poor buttercup :(
Ifk why they didn't do it for a villain it makes sense for a villain
I think there was a comic where Mojo Jojo steals people's teeth and the girls catch him. Honestly, that was a major improvement to this sick excuse for an episode.
female version of mr enter
That's really high praise! I watch Mr. Enter all the time! :)
good video keep up the good work
KC DA MOST Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! ^.^
The new seasons can't touch the old in my opinion this and sailor moon are the only girly cartoons I watch lol
Buttercup did not deserve that off of both episodes she was a happy child on the movie until meaningful name because it begins with a b he didn't have no thoughts homemade Buttercup feels I don't think she have a connection to her family I thought she did he would give her a better name that's why she was mad all the time because affected her, And the professor never been proud of her and encouragement talking Too. Poor girl I want to give her a hug so bad!!! Who will take things from My Little girl!!
7:41 blossom’s face is scary
ACTUALLY THAT'S Y BUTTERCUP HATES BEING COMPARED TO HER SISTERS. SHE WANTS TO B HER OWN PERSON, SHE JUST WANTS TO BE NOTICED, HECK THE FIRST THIN SHE WAS TOLD WAS "AND YOUR BUTTERCUP, CAUSE... IT ALSO STARTS WITH A B". REALLY HOW LOW CAN THAT GET!!!
MAKOTO KAISER I know that really made me mad. She seemed like a happy-go-lucky kid. The professor put some thought into the others names. Just based on the first letter of their names. Buttercup might get her more "aggressive side," just because of a disconnection from a supportive family. When Buttercup moves out of the house, she should make the right decision to move in with sensei. She was much happier with him than with her sisters. In "Cover Up," it just shows how much Blossom unfavors her sister and how Bubbles doesn't understand Buttercup's affection to her blanket, but they both don't understand her affection due to her personality. You know the reacuring "Tough, never cry, not a baby, doesn't sleep with toys," stereotype. Buttercup has been traumatized. #PoorButtecup
I agree that the Professor should have been more caring of Buttercup but remember the episode Shut The Pup Up? Or to be exact the part where Bubbles and Buttercup were fighting over who gets the prize? Notice how he intervened after Bubbles called Buttercup a bully not after Buttercup called Bubbles a baby. Also when he was telling both of them to think before they speak notice how he put his hand on Buttercups shoulders almost as if in a comforting way and how he was looking at Bubbles the entire time. He could've been sticking up for her then.
Good point! I hadn't thought about that one. But that's more left to interpretation than anything else. Most of the time with Blossom and Bubbles, he has shown kindness to them outright.
There was that time professor tried to explain how urinating works the best way he could when buttercup(and her sisters) were struggling with their confidence
guillermo acosta that was just weird... and I hate that entire episode....
@@HackiePuffs what the their was an episode about that? 😐
Desmond Washington that wasn’t the main focus it was just what the girls were doing before they got involved in the main problem of the story.
Awesome job ,this video is better then previous one.
as for this episode ,i never watch it ,but oh boy the plot of this episode is stupid
nikosafer1 Thanks! I'm glad that you think the quality of this one is better. The other one was my first critique video, so I didn't have as much experience at that point. As for the episode, I'm glad that we share similar views. :)
Umbra Magna, after watching your review, and looking back at this episode, I remember why Buttercup (In my opinion) is my least favorite character in this show.
I like your reviews.
I have an idea but can you explain what you meant by implications of child neglect and abuse in your mrenter coment from the moral decay episode
Which PPG did the worst crime in the show?:
Stealing 2,000 dollar golf clubs
Knocking out only criminals' teeth (even when they do no crimes at the moment) for money
Brutally injuring people who either barely did actual crimes or did crimes only worthy of lesser punishments
Just rewatched this episode and thought it was dreadful, so immediately had to look up if anyone saw what I meant, and I'm glad you recognise the poor characterisation. Buttercup is my favourite, and honestly, before this video I hadn't considered the fact that she is often poorly treated. A lot of people would say Blossom gets poor episodes (I can see the argument for this), but yeah, I honestly can't remember many moments of just her with the Professor.
Buttercup was doing a really messed up thing in this episode and deserved punishment, but I completely agree that letting her essentially get jumped was bad. It wouldn't have been so bad if the villains found a way to orchestrate it, but the fact that her sisters were in on it???
Honestly, yeah the tooth fairy aspect isn't explained, and Buttercup doesn't even have much of a reason to like money, it just felt so forced in the start of the episode.
I'd rather watch town and out then this mean spirited piece of crap
I hate episode too
BLOSSOM HOW COULD YOU
Have you seen Powerpuff Bluff?
I have. I think that episode is okay. I like the part where Buttercup accidentally hits her sisters thinking it's the villains and Blossom says to just fight their counterparts. That was pretty funny. XD
This is maybe 2 years too late, but Buttercup has "middle child syndrome". Even her name wasn't as thought out as her sisters. Professor admitted that it was just a name that also began with a B. Now it's not as overt as Buttercup being the _Meg_ of the series, but she is certainly treated rougher. And why? Is it because she's "the toughest fighter"? A tomboy? If so, that's a horrible reason. It's basically saying her personality causes her to be treated this way. At the end of the day, she's still just a little girl.
Also, you are so right about hypocrisy. Buttercup gets punished for beating up people and knocking their teeth out yet wasn't there an episode where Bubbles did the same thing (including a poor dog) and not only did she NOT get a punishment, she got praise for being "hardcore"?
It's always iffy when they try to make Buttercup the antagonist of the episode. All Chalked Up is even worse with her behavior, making her stomp on Bubbles' chalk for horrendously petty reasons. She even had a smirk on her face as Bubbles cried in a way I've never heard her cry before. Like, realistic crying.
I wasn't okay with her having to give up her blanket either in Cover Up. How come she has to get rid of her blanket, yet Bubbles gets to keep Octi? Once again, SHE'S A FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL. FIVE YEAR OLDS HAVE COMFORT OBJECTS.
And it always seems like they cut out the _talking_ part with Buttercup. How hard would it have been for Blossom to talk some sense into Buttercup for the teeth thing? But no, it was almost like they WANTED to see her get beaten up. Same with the bath. Why not have the Professor talk with her about the importance of hygiene? No? Just kick your own daughter out of the house? Okay then!
I'm a middle child and I was teacher's pet back when I was 9
There is another reboot of the powerpuff girls with the original voice actors (except for the professor) and Craig McKrackin (unsure of spelling). I have read some of the summary and once again Bubbles is the hero and Buttercup is the villain.
I would want in the first episode of the newest reboot would be Buttercup getting her special powers pretty equal to Blossom and Bubbles. I also want a more Rowdyruff Boys to since they also have some family drama where Boomer gets yelled at by Brick and unlike Bubbles he doesn’t have the same support as Bubbles since Boomer is a villain and he doesn’t have anyone to take care of him, and Butch who is also very aggressive but not talkative and he acts a bit off compared to his brothers. He could possibly be in the same situation as Buttercup since they are both the middle kids.
I feel like their needs to be a movie about Buttercup and how she is treated and once she finally speaks out and proves her worth, the Professor apologizes to her and maybe give an excuse that he thought her sisters needed it more or something and admits to being wrong and they could finally share heart warming moment.
As for the reboot, I don’t know how often I will watch it with Bubbles getting most of the love while Buttercup’s solo moments are about her being an antagonist without giving her something really special.
why couldn’t they just make her give the money away and apologize? Setting her up to get beaten was super dark and traumatizing to watch as a kid
6:50 Disagreed. Blossom encourages Buttercup to fight her fears in Powernoia.
I meant encouragement from Professor specifically. But yeah, I liked that moment in "Powernoia." Blossom was great at giving her sisters pep talks in that episode.
Of all the things she went through I'm surprised she didn't turn into a actual villain
I guess that Buttercup is everyone's least favorite of the 3.
I know, and it's very sad. :(
Umbra Magna yes everyone in the PPG fandom community (the one I’m a part of) loves Blossom and I don’t. I love Bubbles and Buttercup (even more thanks to you) and I think Blossom is a stuck up butt hole. That’s actually what I’m infamous for. So I come here to discuss my defense for Buttercup and my hate for Blossom. Because I know I’ll be able to fully express my real opinion without getting backlash. I know it sounds sad but it’s true.
@@HackiePuffsHey! That is rude! Don't talk like that about my favourite girl Blossom! Buuuut - instead of fighting about it, i have a better idea, why don't do it the Bubbles' way and give them all some love! Quote Bubbles: " *crying noises* I don't like arguing, why can't we all get along?" - (Octi Evil, iirc?)
@@Lucifer-hq5pe while my hate for Blossom has died down a bit after a few years I still prefer the other 2. But nowadays I found some aspects of her character that I can appreciate. Although telling people who just share their opinion that they’re being “rude” for not liking a character that you do and then go “but let’s not fight about it ☺️” lol what?? 🤣
@@HackiePuffs Nothing wrong with prefering someone, but i think calling someone an asshole was rude. Would you prefer if i had wrote down an insult instead of quoting a great line of Bubbles?
hey do Tough Love plz?
Ravelsa Minor It'll be in my next video. 😃
Ravelsa Minor Okay, I've made a Top 20 episodes list, and "Tough Love" is on it, if you're curious. Here's the link: m.ruclips.net/video/TstiTACLgJg/видео.html
❤
I literally hate the ending of moral decay more than any other parts of that episode. It feels like nobody cares about buttercup and it makes me sad 😢.
Yeah same, and unfortunately that feeling persists throughout many episodes.
Buttercup only deserved to be beaten up as much as the worst that any single one character got. Wasn't fair to get attacked by so many times more than what just one character got.
My
6:01 Okay to be fair at least Buttercup blasts her back for what she calls "Blossoms Leadership" yeah Blossom can be so boastful, and some of her logic makes no sense.
XDDDDDD MORAL DECAY
