That Powerpuff Girls one started a little rough but wound up being pretty funny. I wouldn't mind watching a "Powerpuff Girls all grown up" movie... preferably with graphic nudity and very attractive women playing the girls.
Yesterday, we learned that maybe Captain Planet shouldn't be starring in a live-action superhero movie; today, we learn much the same thing about the Wonder Twins, as College Humor takes a look into their audition process. A few of the jokes are obvious, but I do like how pleased with themselves they are -- and the fact that Zan and Jayne are played by two of the people from Twilight, reminding us that those movies do actually star a few human beings with a sense of humor. College Humor also looked at the auditions of The Falcon, Bionic Woman, the Powerpuff Girls and the Whizzer, although my second favorite after the Wonder Twins is definitely Dazzler.

That is squickier than this week's FFF. Mainly due to the resemblance to Donny and Marie, but also because Jayna insists that they are "identical" twins. Which means we're looking at two brothers getting their mash on.
Also, Jan obviously is wearing purple socks. Goddamn them for making me remember that awful Osmondy running gag.
Whizzer takes the cake, as he always has, for having the worst supervillain name EVER. That, and the yellow costume never does him any favors.
I rather like Dazzler, though.
I think that's the Golden Age hero Whizzer who got his powers from a mongoose blood transfusion.
That was pretty lame, the "Twincest" bit was predictable, although Nikki Reed does make a super-cute Jayna.
Crap . . . . I put in "The monkey watches" with a link (http://penny-arcade.com/comic/..., but I don't know why it didn't get posted.
Yeah, that was just creepy...! [well, okay, it was a little funny, i might have giggled once or twice]
It would be so easy to make a gritty reboot story with the Wonder Twins:
*Twincest!*Zan transforming into ice weapons for Jayna to use!*Twincest!*Jayna transforming into alien animals! Or better yet, into an amalgamation of animals!*Twincest!*Their home planet was destroyed, now they're here to... whatever!*Did I mention twincest?
Yeah, I don't think you can mention Twincest enough when talking about the Wonder Twins
The wonder twins really do suck, and it's a testament to how awesome Justice League Unlimited was that it managed to almost make them (or at least their expies) viable characters
A lot of people don't know this, but the only reason those two were admitted into the Justice League was to shut Aquaman up. He was tired of being the lamest member, and well, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
And after what Solomon Grundy did to Wendy and Marvin (man what a mess that was - luckily Batman has it in with the police in Gotham, so it was a fairly simple matter to sweep that one under the rug. Or soak it up with a rug and dump it in the sewer) we thought it best to recruit some kids with actual "powers." Heh.
And when I say "squeaky wheel" I mean incessant whiny Dolphin noises. Merciful Rao, I could hear it clear on the goddamn moon!
