The Rowdyruff Boys are as popular as ever, to the surprise of no one.

FANDOM came out with a new layout for wikis, including The Powerpuff Girls Wiki - & part of if is a new panel that shows the top most visited pages of the week. While I wasn't expecting it per se, I do realize it isn't a surprise that "The Rowdyruff Boys (characters)" has been the most visited page here.

If you would have expected another character to take that spot, who did you believe was the most popular character in The Powerpuff Girls (besides the Girls themselves)? HIM & Ms. Bellum are within the top 5 on the same panel, so I'd think they were good contenders as well.

I personally thought Mojo Jojo would be in the top 5, but eh.

And yet every Powerpuff Girls series so far has always misused or straight up forget about them and yet the fans worship these boys...as much as I do.

I think the RRB deserve a redemption arc.

Maybe something like this https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13985208/1/A-Strange-New-Feeling

"A Strange New Feeling" is a really neat take. I agree with Orange Ratchet's stance that the Rowdyruff Boys never had much character beyond being the bad-to-the-bone counterparts of the Powerpuffs.

Although, if it came to appearances in future official PPG media, I'd say anything among the lines of "redeeming" their characters would be heedily avoided - it just seems like too common an idea, & fan fiction's explored nearly every route it could go already. Besides, the Boys' wretchedness is what makes them Rowdy & Ruff!

What do you think?
