Many of you may remember, "The Powerpuff Girls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Powerpuff_Girls)."
On your point about Ed Ed and eddy, even though they were assholes a lot of the time they still had soft spots and different personalities and all. They weren't just one quirk and assholes have nature as their entire character
Egh, I'd argue that.
Even taking TTG as its own show, completely disregarding TT. All of the characters are irredeemable, unlikeable ASSHOLES. All of them. Every single one. They're just, so mean spirited, so... Stupid, it's unbelievable that the show is as successful as it is. And okay, there have been shows that focus on asshole or mean spirited characters (Ed Edd Eddy comes to mind) but in those shows the jerks get their comeuppance by the end of the episode. They don't "win", they usually fail, and that's also usually where a lot of he humor comes from. Their epic failures due to them being jerks or having their heads so far up their ass they don't listen to warnings. In TTG we're supposed to see these characters as heroes despite them being despicable "human" beings.
They did bring back some classic villains like Mojo Jojo, Princess. Fuzzy Lumpkin, and the Gangreen Gang, though they really didn't do much. Most of the Gang didn't even have lines, they were just window dressing. They tried to do too much at once with that episode. The could have easily dropped most of the baddies (why were they sharing a cell, anyhow?) and focused more on Him's scheme.
Oh boi.
You know, ever since I was little, I always imagined Buttercup being a caretaker. Always thought it would be something out of her element. Anyway. What is it with this series obsession with Buttercup?
There were a couple of good sneezes in "Professor Proofed".
Plus any episode with Him is great. Most of the newer villains are lame, though. And not enough Fuzzy.
