Despite this episode being filled with rainbows, I still found it incredibly depressing.
A whole lot of nothing goes on in this episode, to the point that I didn't even know which plot was supposed to be the main one. If this episode wasn't called "Painbow," I probably still wouldn't know.
The main reason as to why I hate this episode so much isn't exactly because of the nothing, but it undoubtedly ties in. The episode would probably be forgivable if it wasn't for one particularly soul- sucking scene (I'm sure you know which one).
It was at that moment when I realized the Powerpuff Girls, my favorite cartoon of all time, was dead. Dead, and past the point of no return. Iredeemable to fans of the original. A pandering slave to focus groups and alleged youth culture, taking orders instead of being innovative and defying expectations. In eleven long minutes, "Painbow" has succeeded in toppling the reboot's own legacy and burning the bridge between itself and the original (which may sound like a good thing, but such a thing should NEVER happen between a reboot and original). This is my main reason for calling this one of the worst cartoon episodes of all-time. I'm sure the other episodes have crushed the original spirit and optimism for future episodes, but this one was the first to really do so.
In my opinion, this is the worst episode thus far, and I hope to God that there isn't a worse episode, because I can't even fathom how horrible it would be.
