The Powerpuff Girls And Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends To Be Reimagined

It has been announced by no other than Craig McCracken that a second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls is in the works, along with a reboot of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends [25] [41]. Aside from how I fondly remember watching both cartoons on Cartoon Network when I was a child, I am absolutely starstruck that my articles on what to expect in a second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls and a revival of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends have predicted the future [50] [51] [52] [53]. And yes, this is not the first this has happened to me as we shall expect to see the official trailer for a Tomb Raider anime soon [45] [46]. Money cannot buy back a star after betrayal [21], but it can buy a second chance and a reimagining in the right hands at the right time. The fact that the creator of both shows is willing to reimagine them just reeks of faithfulness rather than just the scent of money [25] [41]. Moreover, how about a discussion on what to expect in TWO reboots for the price of one before bedtime, just like how I reviewed the third and fourth episodes of the first season of Helluva Boss in one sin over a year ago [44] [45]?

I am delighted to be proven wrong on this one [48]. Well, as for my article on a revival of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, I would say that one has only partially predicted the future as there is an obvious difference between a revival and a reboot [50] [51]. Nonetheless, I shall expand on what ought to occur in a new series – reboot-wise, along with a second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls [25] [41]. [50]

How can a reboot of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends be imagined in the 2020s? It would be expected that it will feature characters using today’s technology, especially smartphones. Mac and Bloo would likely make quirky videos on a parody of TikTok, even though that sounds rather detestable if you ask me [27] [43]. But more importantly, as previously stated, there ought to be brand new characters that will consist of some positive representation, such as a deaf child with their own imaginary friend who communicates in ASL (American Sign Language) and a gay, lesbian, transgender or non-binary character for teaching a young audience that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality and transgenderism or what being non-binary is like [52] [53]. As an online blogger [3], may I suggest establishing an online journalism blog on the website for the home? As unlikely as it seems that it would be as outstandingly imaginary as the original series that ran from 2004 to 2009 [19], despite McCracken’s confirmed participation [25] [41], I still do not want a reboot of an outstanding mid and late-2000s cartoon to make the same mistakes Teen Titans GO and the first reboot of The Powerpuff Girls made whilst catching up with today’s societal elements for today’s youth [42] [50] [51]. 

Regardless of whether the continuation of the original series will be disregarded or not, I am delighted that Craig McCracken is willing to bring a foster home for so many imaginary friends back in business later this decade [25] [41]. Considering the original series ended thirteen years ago [19], I suppose there is a need to reboot the series rather than revive it. Besides, a reboot can still provide some explanations that were not there in the original series [12]. It worked for Clank’s creation in the reimagining of the first Ratchet and Clank game [36]. [10]

For more suggestions on how to make a reboot excel, despite the previous suggestion to revive the original series instead, I still suggest providing some new in-character exploration for the supporting characters, including Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, Duchess and Mr, Herriman and minor characters, such as Nancy, Peas and Crackers [50] [51]. Frankie can use a smartphone and own a parody of a MacBook to make the reboot more “modern”, but convincing portrayals of re-established characters would be more important than that. [14]

There is a lot of hope for the second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls to not crash into controversy and burn on a grill of corny overreliance on real-life trends like the first one did. The second reboot should definitely bring back Ms. Bellum and the narrator, along with more intense fighting, but obviously not let it too far. Despite my theory on the first reboot actually being a continuation of the original series with the girls attending Midway Elementary School, I am sure that Pokey Oaks can return in the second reboot to honour the original series even more. Furthermore, a new version of Bliss ought to be a student at a new high school in Townsville possibly named “Townsville High School” as a freshman in the second reboot as she is indeed several years older than them. The metaphor for transgenderism Donny consisted of in the first reboot should not make that same big mistake again by being presented respectfully in the second reboot for the sake of positive LGBTQ+ representation in animation primarily for children [50] [51]. I am up for faithfulness to what the creator intends, but I would still give aspects from mostly disliked adaptations a second chance to avoid possible bias. 

Even though I still cannot dislike Bliss in the slightest, a faintly improved portrayal of her from the first Powerpuff Girls reboot ought to be a student at Midway Elementary School while the girls attend Pokey Oaks again in the second reboot. [39]

As for other aspects of the controversial first reboot [50] [51], do you know what I would say? If it hasn’t been fixed, don’t break it again. [15]

Will a reboot of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends at least stick to what McCracken intended as well [25] [41]? As I have mentioned before, the original series was amazing, but not immune to criticism [52] [53]. I still firmly suggest reducing Bloo’s self-centred side to make a new interpretation of him more likeable and sympathetic [22]. And please, please, please! Let Frankie Foster enjoy her job more by providing the respect from the friends she deserves and possibly letting her find a love interest who could be a new carer at the home [7] [52] [53]! It is entirely possible to make the show funny without mean-spiritedness [9] [14]. Moreover, everyone knew a prime example of a step too far was Bendy [18]. There also ought to be some new exploration for some already established characters in the reboot, such as Eurotrish getting adopted by a kinder European family and Mac’s mother reflecting on her relationship with his father [52] [53]. Could Mac introduce his cousin Candy to the home too [20]? No, not THAT candy [22]! One goal that would make a reboot seem more necessary is refraining from causing what made some episodes be duds to occur again and another would be providing some new exploration that was not in the original series before [12]. 

The reboot of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends also does not have to be perfect, but those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it [52] [53]. [18]

On a lighter note, I would be chuffed with Cheese making a comeback [52] [53]. HE LIKES CHOCOLATE MILK!!! [17]

I am still up for Craig McCracken’s second concoction for The Powerpuff Girls consisting of small ingredients from some other incarnations throughout the series, including The Powerpuff Girls Z to appeal to those who enjoyed them too [31] [50] [51]. A new episode can make the hinted food-related villains from “Meat Fuzzy Lumkins” return with Fuzzy Lumpkins and the league of broccoli aliens from “Beat Your Greens” in an epic food battle [6] [50] [51]. No reference to Smosh intended [34] [35]. Why not welcome back the very first villains, the Amoeba Boys…with a fourth member as a reference to The Powerpuff Girls Z [31] [50] [51]? Reflecting on my recommendation to not do a rehash of the girls in a car without Professor Utonium’s supervision from the music video [26] [50] [51], I am aware that Blossom has been a driver before as Liberty Belle in the episode “Super Zeroes” [32]. Nonetheless, I like the idea of an incarnation of the girls in a separate canon that appeals to a faintly older female audience, so the Dream In Style brand and promotions for it were not too controversial for me [1] [26]. But still, the majority of the second reboot’s reboot ought to grant what McCracken wishes for, much to the appreciation from the fans of the first four seasons of the original series [25] [41]. 

The idea of the girls becoming infatuated with fashion as if they were younger versions of Bratz dolls seems rather out of character for the notably tomboyish Buttercup [4] [26]. Nevertheless, it was quite assuming to see them “attack” the villains by tossing clothes and letting them land on them, which led to them all dancing in a line. Maybe that moment can occur in the second reboot to potentially troll certain parents who still complain about the girls being “a bad example of kids” [52] [53]. [26]

And what can I say? The Powerpuff Girls Z gained a cult following [37], so there ought to be a few minor things regarding the anime adaption in the second reboot in the West, such as an eventual wife for Professor Utonium and a brother for Mayor who can be the principal of the school Bliss attends [31]. I also recommend making Bubbles skilled in coding once again or apply that skill to Blossom to keep proving that girls can code too. If there will be a TikTok parody, I just hope it will be portrayed wisely, despite my bitterness towards the app’s negative reputation [27] [43]. [31]

A reboot of Foster’s Home For Imaginary ought to begin with a re-establishment of how Bloo became a resident of the house [5], along with perhaps the home’s origin set in a time when Madame Foster was a young adult. The Leapfrog Didj game based on the original show provided some backstory hints [20], similar to how certain traits of characters are revealed throughout the progression of a simmer’s sim’s friendships with them in the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable versions of The Sims 2 [16] [40]. Furthermore, the new origin of Bloo’s accommodation can mention that he was imagined to help a three-year-old Mac cope without the blanket he had to give up [20]. Chances are that the recreated origins of the other friends may not fully honour the original ones, but only a few differences would be better than a complete disregard of the deep meaning behind a character’s specific traits. Even Duchess could have an origin that explains why she is so bitter and self-centred [52] [53]. I am aware that a reboot is an entirely separate continuation, but I still recommend including some similarities from other installations outside of the original television show’s run when it comes to re-establishing familiar characters without tarnishing their images [33]. 

As previously stated, there can be more members of the Foster family introduced in the reboot [52] [53]. Will they be passionate about running the foster home too? Could one of them be a journalist for the newspapers [11]? Will any of them be LGBTQ+ for some positive representation? There are quite a lot of possibilities during or after the re-establishment of Bloo’s accommodation. [7]

I suppose a new season of games for the Playdate can feature either the second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls or the reimagining of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends [29]. [33]

Surely, the second Powerpuff Girls reboot ought to have some new elements to enhance its individuality and freshness, aside from the strong demand for it to honour the original series. I am not up for spoilers, but maybe the ident that aired on Cartoon Network a few months ago could have given a brief hint or two on what the second Powerpuff Girls reboot could have to offer to make up for so much backlash towards the first one [23] [30] [52] [53]. Different art styles appear throughout the segment, providing creative potential [23] [30]. Every time Bubbles hiccups, there is a new striking art style, including one that looks a lot like the iconic original art style we all have known and loved since 1995 [50] [51]. The second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls will likely be a separate canon from the upcoming live-action film, which would be understandable for bringing back the charm of the original series. Despite my hopes of a new cartoon starring three little Townsville girls being a true spiritual successor [50] [51], I know that it does not have to be perfect when it comes to at least trying to seem fresh for a new young audience, along with an old audience who grew up with the original series. 

I was quite starstruck at the ident when I first saw it a few months ago [48] [49]. I like how the main art style is a rehash of the Dance Pantsed special from 2014 [13], but with the girls wearing black shoes and having white collars on the top of their dresses [30]. I honestly would not mind the second reboot having either this art style… [23]

…yet I do not doubt that many fans would prefer the art style for it to be adapted from this one, as slightly off-putting the hairstyles are here [30]. Nonetheless, it would be best to stick to the good ol’ style that originated from What-A-Cartoon [50] [51]. [23]

In conclusion, it will take some time for two reboots to be imagined on Cartoon Network [25] [41]. Although there is a slight risk of a reboot of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends not fully honouring the legacy of the original series, there is still hope for a second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls being preferable over the first one [52] [53]. Despite the optimism and hope I can hold for reboots in production, there is nothing wrong with strongly preferring an original series and vowing to not “fix” what was not broken, but please refrain from bitterness over different opinions [2]. More importantly to many of us, there ought to be something new and fresh within a new property, such as an Xbox Series X/S game that requires the power of the controller to play a magical keyboard throughout a daring quest to save a magical land [54]. I know I cannot always predict the future of entertainment, but I am at least not what some people have made me out to be this year [21]. Furthermore, I wish the talented and inspirational Craig McCracken the best of luck when it comes to reimagining Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends and a portion of Chemical X added to the second reboot of The Powerpuff Girls [25] [41]. 

Aside from the determination to prove that not all reboots are lacklustre and fury-inducing [50] [51], there ought to be reasonable and engaging continuations, such as a third season of Green Eggs and Ham that could introduce Sam-I-Am’s father and possibly his sibling [28]. Who knows how well Sonic Frontiers will do [48] [49]? I am grateful that my passion for analysing and reviewing cartoons is still appreciated to this day, which gives me the motivation to keep writing reviews and such [3]. [8]

I do not doubt that the two reboots would occasionally make references to one another in honour of Craig McCracken’s new motivations [5] [52] [53]. I would be absolutely delighted if there will also be a reboot of the Pixel Chix franchise [24]. Will us 2000s kids rejoice over the outcome of the recreations of McCracken’s two favourite creations or nearly drown in disappointment [25] [41]? The two reboots do not have to be complete perfection, but it would be cool to see them air at the same time as if we were willingly re-experiencing many things from the 2000s. Well, at least not everything [38]. [5]

What If Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends Was Revived?

Surely, there is a time when an animated series needs to end before it goes stale like uneaten bread, but a sudden revival for a new generation can make up for missed opportunities, such as undiscovered character development and how badly for the outcome for a promising premise of an episode was. As a 2000s kid, I strongly believe that this can apply to Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, a cartoon series created by Craig McCracken [43]. The cartoon was known for its highly fascinating premise and an amazingly large variety of differently designed and portrayed characters known as “imaginary friends”. As a child, I was infatuated with the show. It was acclaimed for its creativity, vibrant cartoon art style, most of its humour and several references to The Powerpuff Girls, which deserves a much better animated reboot. To brighten things up later this decade, I would strongly suggest bringing back the series with notable familiarities, as well as a few enhancing changes, despite the introduction being reversed at the end of the series’ finale indicating otherwise. It worked for iCarly, right [66] [67]? Moreover, let us get imaginative and imagine what a revival of the series would be like.

I am here to further prove that my blogging, especially my cartoon blogging will remain more than just “Helluva Boss” this and “Helluva Boss” that these days [89] [90]. Perhaps there can be more lovely colour palettes for new title screens for a revival of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, such as this one. [45] 

 The first episode of the show aired back in mid-2004 and the last one aired in 2009 [43]. Would there need to be new standards for a revival of the show at some point in the rest of the 2020s, even if its sole purpose is to bring back memories for us 2000s kids? Well, perhaps a little political correctness can occur without overdoing it to a degree. If that bratty little lass from the first episode called Wilt a “broken beanpole” on television nowadays, she could be called out for ableism [29]. I would not mind any use of today’s technology in the revival too much, but to an extent, that might cause a slight continuity error due to the use of 2000s technology in the original series that is rather rare in today’s times. Oh! And please do NOT make any new episodes set in a pandemic with characters wearing face masks! I know that could still set up an important example in the future, but we do not need more of the weight we had on our shoulders in 2020! There may be new aspects that are more in need of taking into consideration besides catching up with today’s standards.

Even though I quite enjoy being a Mac user in early 2022, I still miss using Windows XP and Windows 7. Moreover, I am always up for a fresh new adaption of something nostalgic, quite like the brand new option to race as a customised Mii in Mario Kart Tour [64] [65]. [14]

The revival can always be set in the future with Mac all grown up when it would make sense for him to use a smartphone, but then again, that would be better off in a new series finale to prevent it from possibly jumping the shark. Aside from that, we have only just started discussing how exceptional a revival of the series can be. Let us continue. [28]

I am aware that the series has shown Bloo to be unlikeable at times [31] [81], specifically in the second season and so on. Nonetheless, giving a character highly notably flaws heavily prevents the “Gary-Stu” label from being tagged onto a character. But still, what exactly did Berry, the little yandere who was not all sweet see in him [6] [13] [68]?! Perhaps there can be some brand new exploration for him in a revival of the series, such as a flashback of when he was imagined by a three-year-old Mac and developing a sincere crush on a new imaginary friend. Maybe said crush can be a pale pink version of him. Also, there can be another cute moment of him with his other bestest buddy, who was the cute brown puppy who was fluent in human speech [61]. Perhaps the little man can also speak Japanese to the Japanese version of Bloo from “Bus The Two Of Us” [44]? To help the main Bloo maintain his likeability in a brand new season, his overall personality ought to remain more like how it was throughout the majority of the first one. Oh, and please make him more respectable to European folks, including young British women like me [63]. Much obliged.

Bloo does not have to be a little blue angel to be likeable as some humour and conflict ought to still be around in his presence [5] [12], but he ought to be less manipulative and self-centred to avoid affecting the quality of the revival. He has never been as horrible as Ren from Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon [81], but still. Besides, I sure do not want to be the kind of journalist he was in “Bloo Done It”. [61]

There were three other imaginary friends Bloo befriended when he moved to Foster’s. Wilt was one of my favourite characters in the original series due to his selflessness and how he can be overly apologetic. Bless him. Could he be a part-time basketball instructor in the house within an opportunity to develop him a little further? Eduardo was such an admirable amigo who may have been scared a lot of times but still had a big heart. I know this is technically recycling an already established scenario, but perhaps he can find a lost kitten, similar to how he found a puppy, named him “Burrito” and then later renamed him “Chewy” in “Who Let The Dogs In?” [58]. Who does not love kittens? What can I say about Coco? There can be some explanation for her fear of flying that was revealed in “Foster’s Goes To Europe” in a new episode, leading to some further character development that can be quite remarkable [42] [63]. Would she still be in love with a lamp? She can also expand on her hobby in singing and dancing that was seen on Cartoon Network outside of the original series back in the day [20]. It will be great to see the whole gang on television again someday.

Looks like Elmo from Sesame Street became much more apologetic as he grew up to get a nose job before becoming a professional basketball player [76]. [61]

Can you imagine this amigo winning an arm wrestle against Bowser from the Super Mario series [64]? I am up for a new episode of him being challenged to an arm wrestling tournament. Other than that, he can speak Spanish more fluently at some point in a revival of the series [19]. [29]

Imaginary friends are indeed created by young minds. Mac was such a good kid. Intelligent and confrontational to Bloo at certain times, he deserved better than what happened to him in some episodes, which will be explained later. Goo was such a brilliant character due to her excessive speech and quirkiness [93]. I especially loved the episode when she and the others pretended to be alter-egos [21] [50]. Louise, Mac’s neighbour was adorable and there can be an episode centred on her life at home with Cheese [49]. Surely, the majority of teenage boys in the original show came up with the most grotesque imaginary friends, according to Wilt yet Terrance, Mac’s tyrannical older brother imagined Red who was just a tough yet naive version of Bloo [16]. Not much has been known about Mac and Terrance’s father in the original, so I guess there can be some references to what he is like in the revival. I just hope Mac’s teacher at the school he attends will not lock imaginary friends in a closet anymore because, you know, the risk of the school being charged for abuse. There is hope that there will be good kids like Mac and Goo for imaginary friends who want to live in good new homes.

How about a sequel to this particular adventure with new alter-egos of new allies, such as identities for Cheese and Louise [50]? [21]

Any more development for other supporting characters in a revival of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends? How about some imaginary kittens to make up for how terrified Mr. Herriman was in “Who Let The Dogs In?” [58], which can be quite therapeutic for him? I would love to see some new comedic moments with Cheese, another one of my favourite characters [25]. He was utterly hilarious in his episodes [86]! A new episode centred around him can feature some explanation for why Mac lied about creating him in “Mac Daddy” before it was revealed that Louise was his true creator all along as that was never explained in that episode at all [49]. Duchess may not be a very nice lady, but another episode can provide some backstory on why she is grouchy and fussy to everyone in the house [9] [39]. It worked for Cruella De Vil in the live-action prequel and soft reboot of 101 Dalmatians starring Emma Stone as her, right [23]? Perhaps there can be a little more development for Red who can be referred to as “Señor Rojo” by Eduardo [16]. Who knows? He can be adopted by a teenage boy with a bigger heart. There are so many possibilities for great new episodes.

Cheese likes chocolate milk!!! [35]

Perhaps Mr. Herriman can find his potential “Mrs. Herriman”, but without making the story…well…too cliched [10]. Perhaps they can bake a cake together [59]? But not a carrot cake [38]! How about another song from Pizza Party too [15][54]? Send Funny Bunny to sweet 2000s kids [18]! [27]

A revival can lead to a great opportunity to further develop the more obscure imaginary friends. Despite the criticism of her portrayal in “Foster’s Goes To Europe” [42], I think Eurotrish can earn a more respectable role as a singer on stage at Foster’s in a new episode as her character consists of toned down European stereotyping, leading to her eventually being adopted by a kinder European family who admires her singing [42] [63]. But before that, she can be great friends with Nancy, Eduardo’s literal pen pal who speaks in a British accent [53]. I would also like to see Crackers have her own episode because she is so adorable [37]! She deserves more development than just crying from being rejected from an adoption. Perhaps Peas can sneak into the forbidden room where the population of imaginary fleas has rapidly multiplied and go on a tour through every big plop of fur [17] [25] [48]. How about an episode centred on Prince Charming [55]? Come on, he was such a dreamboat! Ummm…not the one from Shrek 2 [77]! Perhaps Chick Cluckers from Season Two’s premiere can find true love [52]? How about a few completely new characters to expand on the show’s theme of being imaginative? There would be a lot of ideas within the production of a revival.

It was a huge missed opportunity to make the Powerpuff Girls’ imaginary friend from the episode “Imaginary Friend” appear in an episode of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends since both cartoons were created by Craig McCracken [71] [91] [92]. [70]

A pretty imaginary princess friend who is quite like Princess Liana Rose would make Duchess pretty jealous [73] [74]. Perhaps there can also be a motherly imaginary friend who was imagined by an orphan at an orphanage to give the revival further credibility for providing even more diversity, but without going too much into detail that will affect the appeal for the target audience. [9]

Perhaps a revival of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends can expand on the diversity of the human characters. Since Stevie from “Sight For Sore Eyes” is blind [57], there can perhaps be a deaf kid who has an imaginary friend who is skilled in ASL (American Sign Language), just like Quill from Moss [1]. It would be interesting to see more of the Foster family, such as Frankie’s parents as it can provide some more backstory of how the business of caring for homeless imaginary friends became a success. What was Madame Foster’s husband like before he either passed away or divorced her at some point? Wait a minute! Could Old Man Rivers have been her ex-husband all along [51]? In spite of Frankie’s diligence and independence, she deserves a new love interest who will most certainly never threaten her friends after all she went through in the original series. Could she have a sibling who works outside of Foster’s and may eventually decide to work there? A brand new series would lead to a big opportunity to develop brand new characters that serve great purposes that were never served in the original series, along with further exploration for already established characters that never received much of it. 

Frankie has been through enough in the original series. I would so want her to find a new boyfriend in a revival. She and Mr. Herriman had some great character development in “Setting A President” and there may be more in the revival [56]. [19]

Aside from bringing the rather memorable art style of the original series if possible, the great writing must also return with new, original stories to tell. Consistency is a must as there were various contradictions in the Dexter’s Laboratory series when comparing the first and second seasons with the third and fourth ones [79]. Seriously, Dexter found using a potato as a source of power hilarious in the revival from Cartoon Network Studios yet he did that once in the original series from Hanna Barbera [24] [79]. The same problem applied to The Powerpuff Girls. Is Bubbles really a vegetarian or not [69]? The writing of the episode “Crime After Crime” from the third season of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends was outstanding and highly impressive because of how it ambitiously fused a number of running gags into one engaging plot [38]. “Bloo’s Brothers” nailed the premise of what would happen if many children were heavily inspired to imagine their own versions of Bloo [33]. And who knows? The finale of the revival can be much more satisfying than the finale of the original series, even if it will only last for one or two seasons [80] [85]. Besides, it ought to be more about the quality than the quantity.

Believe it or not, I once shipped Eurotrish with Wilt when I was younger. Perhaps there can be romantic relationships in the house in a revival of the show, especially in a Valentine’s Day-themed episode, hopefully without featuring Berry in spite of how interestingly her character was portrayed in “Berry Scary” [6] [13] [68]. If there ought to be another horror-themed episode [8], the crew better not order a Sonic.exe-themed Happy Meal [62]. [13]

As previously stated, the finale of the revival can establish a “What If…?” scenario featuring Mac as an adult but still in touch with Bloo…who could be adopted by a kid of his own. His older brother would hopefully be serving time in prison. [8]

Despite the show’s positive reception, some episodes were heavily criticised by fans for their mean-spiritedness and such [63]. Madame Foster’s mischievous nature was quite out of character in “Foster’s Goes To Europe”, especially in the ending [42]. Additionally, that episode’s premise ended up being misleading as an example of irony done the wrong way. Speaking of mischievousness, please do NOT…and I repeat do NOT repeat the deadly cycle of the foul-spiritedness from “Everyone Knows It’s Bendy” [22] [41]. [75]. And please do not get me started with “Imposter’s Home For Um…Make ‘Em Up Pals” [47]! “Bye Bye Nerdy” also sucked because of how nothing was done about the bullying Mac got for just trying to be “not nerdy” after being shamed and labelled by Bloo, along with Mr. Herriman being unreasonably out of character [34]. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being intelligent with specific traits. Another episode that was very unfair to Mac was “I Only Have A Surprise For You” [46]. “Beat with a Schtick” was pretty much a metaphor for the cancel culture of today [30] [86]. It would be strongly recommended that there will be no episodes within a revival season that repeat those big mistakes for the best critical reception possible.

Behold! False advertising! You know, the revival could be even better with not much mean-spiritedness in new episodes [63], kind of similar to the new Barbie Cutie Reveal Doll line was to make up for the criticism the Colour Reveal dolls received [2]. [42]

In a hopeful conclusion, I am not saying that a revival of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends will definitely happen, but if such an idea were to be brought into action, let us not make similar mistakes that were made by the reboot of the Powerpuff Girls that began airing in 2016, along with the Danced Pantsed special that aired back in 2014 [11] [91] [92]. Furthermore, some new character developments in a great reimagining should be provided whilst the effort to not bring back the frustrating mean-spiritedness of the least acclaimed episodes of the original series is valued. Speaking of reimaginings, I suppose J.K. Rowling might as well begin to write a series of “What If…?” scenarios in a non-canon addition to the Harry Potter series, such as Harry ending up in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor and him marrying Hermione Granger in the future instead of Ginny Weasley [26] [87]. It worked for Disney, right [3] [4] [81]? What would you expect in a revival of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends? I can hear that catchy theme tune as I conclude this conclusion. Stay imaginative, imaginators! No reference to the Skylanders series intended [84]. Oh, and Cheese, you do not live here! Please go home [25]!

“Okay.” [25]

Anyway, do you agree that Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends ought to be brought up for a new audience? Either way, let your imagination run wild, no matter how old you are! I sure did with a new fanfiction of mine [88]! [61]
