Actress Amanda Leighton is 6/8/15, 6:33 PM elfgrove kumagawa original powerpuff girls voice actresses learning about their replacements Wow Not cool there ladies. I'm hoping this is mostly out of context. These three women are established voice actors with strong careers and a plethora of parts under their belts (especially Tara Strong who is well know for roles like Harley Quinn). The show is being rebooted for a new audience and potentially with a diferent lant. These girls are up-and-coming new voice actresses. These women aren't lacking for work, and this probably isn't going to be the same as "their Powerpuff Girls. These folk should be encouraging new talents, not potentially riling up their fanbases against what will be the first major gigs for these young women over parts they had a decade ago. Thats kind of immature and petty Edit Apparently, it gets worse. The most successful VA of the three actively lobbying to take potentially career-making parts away from the younger voice actresses.

[link link link link These are grown, successful adults rallying their considerable fanbases against young up-and-coming actresses (including a WOC), calling for them to be fired and the show re-cast because they weren't included on a reboot of a Cartoon Network property they helmed a decade ago. they're using their power and fame to attempt to derail the careers of a new cast and crew, mostly that of the new VAs, since their names and faces are at the forefront of this mess. What a bunch of A------ Grow up and show a little professionalism and encouragement to the younger folk in your field

Look, as long as the voices of the Powerpuff Girls don't come out like Emporer Palpatine, GI Joe, and Dracula, I don't think they will do as badly as the original voice actors are perceiving. How about we give them a chance, hmm? We gave you yours and you did just fine.

Hm.

Well, I'm sure that this is either out of context or that they are joking. At least Tara Strong anyway. From what I've seen, she does have a bit of a sense of humor about her regarding these things. And McCracken has said several times that he's fine with how their original show ended and didn't want to continue it to the point of it going stale, so I'm sure he's just joining in for laughs.

And I'm noticing that the guy just had to point out that one of the VAs wasn't white… as if that meant something… Would it be… more hurtful that she's a "PoC"? (Christ…) So they might have taken it the wrong way and want these people to burn for it.
