Teamo Supremo

Rather or not you're a fan of The Powerpuff Girls (and I'm talking about the original 1998-2005 series, that is), there's no denying it as an example of how a superhero series is done right. Teamo Supremo came out just 4 years after the lil' puffs and tried to cash in on their success. I'll admit, I kinda liked this show, back in the day but looking back, it was nothing more than a poor man's Powerpuff Girls. I mean it wasn't awful like Teen Titans Go, but it was still a pretty poor quality cartoon. Kudos for Disney trying to make an animated superhero series in their pre-Marvel days. It's just too bad it turned out to be a mess. I do hope my animated superhero series for Disney XD is much better than this.

"Teamo Supremo" are made up of pre-pubescent heroes Captain Crandall, Rope Girl and Skate Lad, who fight crime with the knowledge and cooperation of the well-meaning but not totally competent leader of the city, while at the same time having to go to school and live normal little child lives...

Sounds familiar? Yep, this is basically a copy of Cartoon Network's "The Powerpuff Girls," though more sexually and ethnically mixed (Skate Lad/Hector is of Mexican derivation, for instance). The trouble is, while it has the pre-teen hero motif it lacks Bubbles and Co's Japanese-influenced animation style; genuinely sharp scripts; villains as entertaining as Him, Mojo Jojo or even Princess; heroes with the proper personalities that Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup have; and, of course, the narrator. (Although I do give the show points for the voice of Martin Mull as the governor.)

It's still watchable, but go for the real thing if you have a choice.

Seriously people, how was Teamo Supremo a ripoff of The Powerpuff Girls, it's not! If I may explain, in comparison of these two shows and their origins, The Powerpuff Girls' origin Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are created by these ingredients used by Professor Utonium using sugar, spice, everything nice, and even chemical X. In Teamo Supremo's origin, according to the first segment of the first episode "In the Beginning..." it starts with Captain Crandall dreaming of himself being a superhero with superpowers and then he calls his mom and sister Jean earth mom and earth sister believing he's from another planet. Then when superhero auditions are being held at the state Capitol by Governor Kevin to see which superhero worthy to stop the evil Baron Blitz, and so then Captain Crandall forms a team which consists of himself being the leader of the team, Brenda (Rope Girl), and Hector (Skate Lad) now called Teamo Supremo. And another comparison, PPG are kindergartners, TS are third graders.

AND TO ANYONE WHO IS STUPID TO THINK THAT TEAMO SUPREMO IS SHORT LIVED AND IS A RIPOFF OF THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, IT'S NOT! IT JUST RAN FOR 39 EPISODES WITHIN 3 SEASONS FROM January 19th, 2002 to August 27th, 2004.

I felt that it was necessary to comment on this show after reading the last commentator's review (in which he bashed this show just because it didn't have the flare of the "Powerpuff Girls" which is now sickening to watch for me since the movie). This show is actually as good as "The Powerpuff Girls", and I don't care what anybody says. The pre-teen superhero trio of Captain Crandall, Rope Girl, and Skate Lad are a cool group that don't rely on super powers to beat their enemies (which is cool.), and Governor Kevin is a pretty intresting character (better than the annoying mayor on "Powerpuff Girls".). The bottom line is this show is great, and I hope it's on for a long time.

Why is so many people hating this show i think it deserves a better rating it only lasted for only three years 2002-2004 i don't understand why is getting this show so much hate.
