You Tell Us: What Shows Should Marvel TV Be Making?

A long time ago they tried to do an x-man series (generation X) and it bombed. Now that special effects are better and the hero genre has been done (smallville/heroes)…its time to bring it back. I dont want to see a generation X mutant series, but they could do X-men first class (and not do the movie they are planning).

It could be on Fox since they own the rights to the X-men properties anyways. As long as professor x was played by patrick stewart i'd be in heaven lol!

Reptil and the Great Lakes Avengers

If you listen to the Kirby Krackle song 'Great Lakes Avengers' there's a lot of great modern day frustration filled in to that song and it would be a role perfectly suited to a younger hero that Marvel has already put some backing into. Plus it would make the GLA even better to have a straight man to bounce off of.

I would go with a Deadpool show but it would be animated and done by titmouse inc. (the guys that do Deathklok) that way you could violence and it would be funny which are strong traits for deadpool. I think Mark Hamill to do his voice. As for Live action I would like to The infinity Gauntlet Saga as miniseries and then Spin-off an Adam Warlock show from the Gauntlet series

Young Avengers would be a great TV show and if it WAS a TV show, they could pay Allen Heinberg enough to write most of the series.

There was a program on TV called “Street Justice” that, IMHO, was patterned after Cage / Iron Fist. The lead was an African American detective with a kung-fu white guy partner. Always reminded me of PM/IF.

My vote would be

Supreme Power… 6 part mini series. Brandon Routh as Hyperion ;-)

For Guardians of the Galaxy, basically rehash the Firefly cast. Nathan Fillion as Starlord, Adam Baldwin as Drax, Alan Tudyk as Bug, Summer Glau as Mantis, Morena Baccarin as Gamora, Sean Maher as Jack Flag, etc.

ROM was a product of MATTEL like Transformers / G.I. JOE. I do agree with a Heroes for Hire series…with Luke Cage and Iron Fist. That would be a blast….kinda like a mix of LAW and Order with HEROES involved….no costumes needed just give us good action with real stories.

Moon Knight. Put it on FX or Spike to make it a bit more adult while still available to more than HBO subscribers. Also, a Marvel Comics Presents show is a great idea. There could be 2 half hour stories every week. The first story would be a 5 or 6 part story and the second would be a new one very week. Maybe sometimes the stories would intersect. Also the Marvel Team Up idea is good too. Just throw a couple heroes together every week, maybe after they've been established on MCP.

Well, I cannot post any kind of cast suggestion, but if there if ONE show I'd really love to see airing, this would definitely be THE RUNAWAYS!!!

Heroes for Hire…..duh. it could be the perfect vehicle for lesser known characters and of course, there could even be a rotating cast of some sort.

Moon Knight. Shoot it in Prague to give it an international/European feel.
Jamie Bamber in the lead role (Marc) and Jean Reno as Frenchie.

I think Blade should be given another shot.

But I'm all for a “Heroes For Hire”.

Excaliber – if they can do Farscape, they can do the first version of this.

Nth the last Ninja

The Exile. A “Fugitive”-type show with Ben Reilly as the lead character following his 5 years on the road. It would be the “no tights” version of Spider-Man.

Spider-Man 2099 would also be cool as a computer-generated cartoon.

I would totally watch that!

The popular choice seems to be Heroes For Hire, which I’m down with. The point of this (Marvel TV) is to bring Marvel characters to the screen without it costing an arm and leg to produce. Huge CGI heavy titles wouldn’t get a greenlight in a million years, and most likely a heavy costume series would get a hesitant greenlight. To be realistic, a series that can remove the costume but maintain the characters would see the light of day long before something like Avengers (on the small screen at any rate). Heroes For Hire can star Power Man and Iron Fist, but use their alter ego/real names of Luke Cage and Danny Rand, and it would still be an amazing show. How often to they refer to each other as Danny or Luke in the comic instead of Power Man or Iron Fist? So, yes, that series would play well on TV as it can easily be serialized. Human Target, Dark Angel, Burn Notice, all have the main characters on a new adventure every week but progress their own storylines. On another realistic level, anything already associated with a movie or another production company can be ruled out (sorry X-Factor fans). Runaways would be a no brainer. It has a hip young cast with super powers, but no so heavy that it would cost too much. Also, the connections to established Marvel properties is very limited. Moon Knight would be an amazing adult related series for cable, although the TV deal is with ABC and ABC Family, so I doubt you will see MK on FX, HBO, or anything like that. MK is my favorite to bring to TV right now. He’s a Batman style superhero that fights low-level street crime. You can keep the costumed villains to a minimum and keep that appeal. Alias would be another adult themed show that maintains the Marvel connection but still keeps it at arms length. Black Cat would be hot. Keep the Spider-Man link low key, or severe it completely, and it might work. And I’ll go ahead and say it: Punisher. I’ve seen some pretty screwed up stuff on TV lately, Punisher might work on network TV. Castle (another ABC show) gets a little graphic at times. But after one season, it might loose appeal or focus. How many episodes can you have Frank walk into a bar and shoot someone in the face? Still, it would be cool to see Punisher again. Going back to the female characters, Black Widow. Since Icon is an imprint of Marvel, how about Brubaker’s Criminal? My dream projects would be Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, any of the cosmic junk, but those bring up the issue of money again.

I don’t read a lot of comics that could be toned down for ABC Family. Most of those shows would most likely be original, like that Her-Oes comic about Wasp, She-Hulk and other female Marvel characters going to high school together. Something that never happened in the mainstream comics but made for an original and fun idea. Oh, duh. Obvious choice would be Power Pack.

Ben Reilly ” no tights” Spider-man idea is GENIUS !!!

Bloody hell those actors really can pull-off those characters….

the punisher live-action tv show of 13 episodes

please?

i want to be on TV & in the movies
