Marvel has a TON of street-level characters, a lot of whom are interesting enough in their own right to support TV shows, but which probably wouldn't work on the larger screen where we tend to expect more elaborate powers and huge action. The Netflix shows started to tap into that universe, but there's still a lot left over. Especially if they decided to run with some of the more disparate genres Marvel has access to - I could easily see a Blade/Nightstalkers/Darkhold/etc series (or multiple interconnected series) rooted in the Tomb of Dracula/Werewolf by Night side of the setting a la the 70s horror comics. The Blade TV show was a thing, but it was kind of poorly handled and it was prior to the success of Marvel Studios and the subsequent Disney acquisition - a modern reboot could be handled more like the Netflix series and potentially be far more successful. And Marvel's got other little sub-settings that exist like nuggest isolated from most of the rest of the universe (like Marvel UK used to be, or some of the weirder limited series of the 80s). Movies probably work best for "save the world/save the universe"-type characters, while TV is especially well-suited for "save the city"-type characters. Especially ones with more elaborate supporting casts and characterization taking the place of fighting aliens or shooting lasers all over the place. I'm kind of surprised we haven't see a Power Pack show or movie yet - it has more or less perfect synergy with Disney as a whole. Though the real problem that needs to be addressed is that apparently the people running Marvel's film side have a lot of issues with the people running TV, so the film side tends to shit on TV as often as possible, which screws TV over a bit. If they could work that animosity out and get their shit together, you could get a lot more effective crossover and cross-promotion than the sort of thing we got when Agents of SHIELD was half-assing it because the film side wouldn't cooperate. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:914593611] in Stan By Ge...
