Runaways doesn't seem like something they'd get Ridley for. My guess is that it's one of the shows that's been rumored in development by ABC for a while now. Such as Punisher or Cloak and Dagger. The former being less likely because of content, but Cloak and Dagger has been in development with ABC for a few years now and the story mentions that the show will be a reinvention. The tone of the article does imply it's a solo character though.

I want AoRS and AoS to run side by side with the exact same events, except on each show the other agency's depicted as mustache-twirling villains, even in scenes where the exact same thing happens.

Like by the end of the season AoRS has Coulson wearing Magneto armor and AoS has Gonzales as the new head of HYDRA.

Runaways has built-in mass appeal, especially with all the success of the young adult movies. It would go for a wider audience than something like Cloak and Dagger or Punisher or really most any other superhero.

She-Hulk legal procedural. Literally run the first half of the season as a straight up legal show, don't even attach Marvel to the name so people who aren't aware who Jennifer Walters is are confused as hell when during the winter finale MODOK busts in and suddenly she's green and huge...

Yeah but I feel like Cloak & Dagger would be easier to proceduralize. Runaways would be more like a soap opera. Soaps and serials are gaining ground, but aren't procedurals still the king?

I feel like Runaways would make a great film trilogy and that's why it'll probably be a movie. I am a big fan of characters in comics that have a good hook but for some reason very few people seem to write good. For that reason Cloak and Dagger or even a Moon Knight would be much more interesting for me. But again I have a soft spot for those concepts, if not the actual stories that already exist. I feel Cloak and Dagger is one of the most wasted concepts at Marvel and it's sad that only a couple people have ever been able to do something good with them.

It's ABC so it has to be nominally family friendly and light hearted.

I'm gonna say Howard the Duck(yeah), a three camera sitcom in the style of Alf or Harry and the Hendersons.

Rachael Taylor is already cast in the role for one of the Netflix shows, hey, let's do a loving Patsy and Hedy sitcom. Don't include anything to indicate it's in the MCU at all for like the first three seasons, then suddenly Patsy turns into Hellcat and Hulk smashes into her house and she starts slashing fuckers throats.

Yeah, Runaways can work as a movie as well, but a Runaways movie has been rumored since like, before Iron Man 1 and wasn't listed in the big list of upcoming Marvel movies, so I'd rather get a series in the nearer future. I feel like the comic stories fit pretty neatly into a structure where you can have clear season or mid-season finales that change the game, and you can always come up with new stories to fill things out without relying on just the comic material.

I'm more hopeful for a cool live-action Runaways something than I have been in the past though, the two big teen/YA Marvel properties are Runaways and Young Avengers, and with the big success of YA stories right now and Marvel making huge money even when they do a bad movie, I don't see how they miss the opportunity to make a LOT of money. Runaways also falls into something of a Guardians of the Galaxy mold, where it's off-beat and not remarkably well known, though I would rank it as better known than GotG.

There's also the fact that Marvel has capitalized on doing good superhero movies that mix with other genres to some degree and provide variety to the audience. Cap 1 had war film elements, Cap 2 drew from espionage/spy influences, GotG is the space opera, Iron Man is the action comedy, Ant-man will be the heist movie, etc. Runaways, whether it's as a movie or a series, would be their Superhero and young adult/teen movie.

I'll never get my dream of a good Animorphs series or movie (I loved those books when I was growing up), but if they don't pull the trigger on a Runaways adaptation in the next 3 years they're fools.

Out of curiosity Deadpool, what would you center each movie in the trilogy around? The first one is a no brainer, but I'm curious about where you'd take it after that.

Have you not been paying attention to the scenes of guys getting shot in the head directly on camera, or the Agent Carter cold open with two 13 year olds fighting to the death with one snapping the others neck to the approval of the instructor?

If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion.
I'd love for them to make a spin-off focusing on a corrupt strike team, perpetually digging themselves into holes, and digging even deeper to get themselves out again, navigating the complex world of mutant gangs and their own organisation's internal politics. It could be called "The S.H.I.E.L.D".

Yeah, and they're not even in the superhero capital of New York either so I doubt it's Runaways.

I'd love to see She-Hulk law procedural.

Yes, but in the end those scenes set the tone for specific episodes and not the whole series. They probably had to negotiate certain uses of violence with ABC beforehand and I doubt the series will have that kinda tone either. Then again what do I know.

Super villains yes, pre-established no. They were out on the west coast instead of New York and their parents were new characters that were a shadowy cabal. Except for Victor, he was Ultrons "son".

People here obviously don't watch Shonda shows on ABC. Blood and violence on Scandal is ridiculous. Grey's Anatomy isn't much better, although the blood and guts are more from horrific accidents rather than people loving to torture other people.

I think it's less "America" and more "corporate interests in America". There might be some outcry from the lunatic fringe, but I think the majority of people would be fine with it. It would be ABC's executives who would say, "Yeah, fine, but can we make her white and blonde?"

The same network that has Shonda Rhimes on speed dial? If anything's going to hold Ms. Marvel back its the fact it wouldn't be an ensemble show.

Carol Danvers is a 30s something supermodel looking blond haired and blue eyed airforce pilot/spy/journalist, who has pretty much superman powers.
Kamala Khan is a 16 year old dorky first generation Pakistani-American who has stretchy shape changing powers.

Outside of the name both are very different.

No, DC has Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, and Captain Marvel Jr.

So that's much better. Or worse. I really can't decide.

If it helps, Captain Marvel Jr. is either older than Captain Marvel, or the same age, depending on which retcon you're going with. Technically, all of this can be blamed on Fawcett Comics, rather than DC, but it's really far too late for that now.
