Why do I think this episode resonates with many things discussed here?
1) It starts with the Powerpuff Girls (STO) fighting villains (STS)
2) When they get tired of fighting the villains, a gnome (also STS) comes up promising to defeat the evil in exchange for their powers. It reminds me of the Fall of humanity and how the lizzies convinced humanity to go STS in exchange for purported advantages.
3)The Powerpuff Girls accept the trade. As if turned ignorant to the consequences, the girls, as everyone else, happen to like the new world where the gnome is the supreme and only leader.
4) Only by intervention of the scientist who raises them girls, they realize the evil reality and fight back against the gnome. It seems to me an allusion to the STO who come trying to share knowledge with us.
5) Even without their powers, they turn out winning. That reminds me of a work recommended by the C's, The Wizard of Oz, in which Dorothy defeats the Witch without any power, by just throwing water at her accidently.
6) When the world comes back to normal, everyone suddenly realizes what they had been victim of. And praise the three girls as gods, title they refuse. This act reminds me of how the STO reject veneration.
7) All previous weaker villains (other STS beings) come back, and the girls seem to perceive that it is commendable some of existence of STS, as it is it what brings the universe more creative creation and diversity (the very reason why STS exists)
