Ms. Bellum will not be returning to the PPG reboot @bugeyedfreaks
Um, NO. My worst fears are confirmed.
This is a terrible choice! Miss Bellum was smart and capable and amazing and sexy but able to do her job despite her amazing looks. Her outer appearance didn’t matter. Her BRAINS are what mattered. What, smart women don’t fit your narrative, Nick? She wasn’t some airhead who was just there to be good looking. Why didn’t they just show her face and make her the new Mayor or something? Show that she was able to move up in the world? Have the Mayor still be in the show but retired or something? How would that not be empowering to girls?
And oh my god, the way they wrote her in that clip is what they actually think of her, as just some sultry secretary trope. I want to throw up.
I really hate this reboot. They cut out a great female character that they could have made even better, they diss all but one of the veteran female voice actresses, and turn the girls into vapid tweens. This is not the Powerpuff way and this isn’t being feminist. What a bunch of morons.
‘never rose above being assistant to the mayor’???
SHE WAS THE ONE KEEPING TOWNSVILLE TOGETHER.
You really think the man who couldn’t get a damn pickle jar open could run a city constantly under threat from a neighbouring monster island and a cast of colourful villains? No, we all know who the real power was behind the throne.
She was a strong, kind woman (who also happened to be good looking BUT WE CAN’T HAVE GOOD LOOKING WOMEN ON A COMEDY ANIMATED TV SHOW THAT SETS A BAD EXAMPLE HMMM) that the girls looked to as an authority figure for the CITY. Sure they took orders from the Mayor and there was also Miss Keen, but Miss Bellum was a badass.
She gave the girls confidence and advice as a mature woman. But she also taught them humility and patience. She had to work under a useless boss but did it with respect and dedication.
SHE TOOK ON SEDUSA BARE HANDED, WITH NO SUPER POWERS, WHILE WEARING FISHNETS AND KNEE HIGH BOOTS, AND KICKED HER ARSE.
This new series. It’s a MESS.
Justice for Miss Bellum
Praise be to this reblog. OTL
Pour out one for Ms. Sara Bellum. She will be missed.
(Her name is also a pun on Cerebellum. So that’s pretty smart too.)
