A lot of people want a Squirrel Girl movie and they are wrong! WRONG! In my learned, expert opinion, Squirrel Girl wouldn't work as a leading character in a movie - she's best when her unique qualities are being contrasted with others around her, especially more traditional superheroes. Also a movie would necessitate some sort of a big threat, which is not when I think Squirrel Girl is at her best, especially since the character's joke premise is largely that she's literally undefeatable. Seriously, she took out Thanos.

But put Squirrel Girl on a team? And put that team on TV show where the emphasis is on character interactions? And make that show a comedy? You've already sold me.

Now Marvel has to sell a network; they're shopping around a new show called New Warriors, and it stars Squirrel Girl. TV Line, who broke the news, says that it's a half hour comedy. Perfect! TV Line also says that the show is about a 'junior version of The Avengers,' which doesn't quite sound right to me - there is a team called Young Avengers, after all. But maybe TV can't use the Avengers name at all, and so they have to take the Young Avengers and call them The New Warriors? It's hard to say, as TV Line doesn't have the names of the other teenage heroes on the team, and Squirrel Girl was never on either team.

I love both the Young Avengers and The New Warriors, but I really love The New Warriors. I was always a fan of their original leader, Night Thrasher, a rich kid who saw his parents killed before his eyes and went on to become a skateboarding vigilante. Oh, and he just happened to be black, and the idea of a black skateboarding superhero feels pretty current in the world of Odd Future. At one point The New Warriors were on their own reality show (that ended in tragedy when member Speedball blew up a school and killed 600 people. Leave that out of the comedy show), and that would be a pretty good premise for a half hour comedy. Sort of The Office with superheroes.

If it's actually Young Avengers? That book was way more soap operatic than The New Warriors, which never really had a true cohesive focus past the first volume. I would do Young Avengers in the style of a CW show, not as a half hour comedy.

Whatever the case, it looks like TV has the rights to Squirrel Girl, so all your Anna Kendrick fancasting (which is bad fancasting. Read some Squirrel Girl stories and see why Kendrick is so so so so wrong for the role. It's Felicia Day's part to turn down) is out the window. Who will get the show? Nobody knows, but TV Line says it's being shopped to networks AND streaming - could this be the next Amazon pilot?
