Hey look at all the characters that are in the movie.

I’m so tired of these posters. Luckily I also don’t care about posters.

‘MARVEL’S NEW WARRIORS’ HEADED TO FREEFORM WITH STRAIGHT TO SERIES ORDER

Series marks first comedic live-action show for Marvel Television!

Freeform, Marvel Television and ABC Signature today announced their second project together, “Marvel’s New Warriors,” a new comedic live-action adaptation of the popular Marvel comic featuring young adult heroes. This marks Marvel’s first foray into comedy for a television series. The network has ordered ten 30-minute episodes slated to debut 2018.

“Marvel’s New Warriors” is about six young people with powers living and working together. With powers and abilities on the opposite end of the spectrum of The Avengers, the New Warriors want to make a difference in the world… Even if the world isn’t ready. Not quite super, not yet heroes, “Marvel’s New Warriors” is about that time in your life when you first enter adulthood and feel like you can do everything and nothing at once — except in this world, bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.

The series will feature fan-favorite “Squirrel Girl” (Doreen Green) as a totally empowering fan girl—tough, optimistic and a natural leader. Doreen is confident and has the powers of a squirrel… She’s acrobatic, can fight and talk to other squirrels. Her most important trait is that she has faith in people and teaches them to believe in themselves. Additional cast to be announced.

Freeform also has “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger” underway at the network.

“Freeform’s mission is to deliver incredible content to young adults and Marvel Television seamlessly aligns with that mission–we couldn’t be more proud to collaborate with them on ‘Marvel’s New Warriors,’” said Karey Burke, EVP, Programming & Development, Freeform.

“’Marvel’s New Warriors’ have always been fan favorites and now particularly with the addition of Squirrel Girl, they are Marvel Television favorites as well,” said Marvel’s Head of Television and Executive Producer Jeph Loeb. “After the amazing experience we’ve had with Freeform on ‘Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger’ we can’t think of a better place for our young heroes.”

The series is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios. Marvel’s Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s The Punisher,” “Marvel’s The Defenders”), and Jim Chory (“Marvel’s The Punisher,” “Marvel’s The Defenders”) serve as Executive Producers on the series.

Anyone but Daisy Ridley in the role and I’m out.

Squirrel girl? Well that sounds like some weird porn and not a superhero. Does it take place in the MCU or is it unrelated?

So far all live-action has been in the MCU. If so, it’s going to be hard for the other series to not constantly reference Squirrel Girl, THE GREATEST SUPERHERO OF ALL TIME.

Wasn’t Anna Kendrick half-jokingly suggested for the role not too long ago?

She was asking for it. A bunch of actresses have been, actually.

I’ve finally seen the rest of Iron Fist. I honestly don’t understand the criticism. My current list in order of preference of all MCU shows would be

  1. Daredevil
  2. Jessica Jones
  3. Agent Carter
  4. Iron Fist
  5. Agents of SHIELD
  6. Luke Cage

Well that actually looks* good, which is surprising since my least favorite MCU films are the two Thor movies. The villian lady looks like the Power Rangers reboot villain lady crossed with Aku from Samurai Jack and I kinda like it.

*I’m at school and couldn’t listen to the audio because I left my earbuds at home, so I actually mean that it “looks” good.

Yeah, that teaser for Thor:Ragnarok has me hyped.

It looks like Taika is delivering everything I wanted out of the film!

The music was the best part.

Actually it looks fun, which is all you can ask for. Hopefully Taika gets to leave his stamp on it.

Way more excited to see THOR: RAGNAROK over Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING combined just because of the teaser trailer. It’s the THOR movie I’ve been wanting to see since I was a kid in the 1980’s. Especially with listening to LED ZEPPELIN’s studio discography and Immigrant Song is very related to the character. Glad Marvel Studios has the confidence to make the THOR movie they always wanted.
Highly recommend reading the Walt Simonson The Mighty THOR Omnibus. (Jane Foster as “THOR” is a stupidly idiotic choice in the comics.)

IDGAF about wanting to see STAR WARS: The Last Jedi since it’s at the bottom of my 2017 movie list.

When do they ever not use stupidly idiotic choices in the comics these days?

Kind of annoyed the GOTG 2 tv spots apparently give away the death of a character. Don’t know if it’s major or a minor one though.

Then stop watching the TV spots.
