Aw yiss.

[ZacWilliam1]

If they do this right I am 100% onboard. The interview makes me at least cautiously optimistic that they understand the property. Hopefully it'll be at least decently kid friendly too as my kids love Doreen a lot.

-ZacWilliam, very curious who the other characters will be... Classic New Warriors like Justice and Speedball or Squirrel Girl adjacent folks like Chipmunk Hunk and Koi Boi...

[PiratedTVPro]

Cloak/Dagger crossover in 5, 4, 3, 2...

[Fero McPigletron]

Please, no Koi Boi or Chipmunk Hunk if we can get the classic New Warriors. Speedball would be welcome and Firestar would be great but an awesome impossibility would be an animated Slapstick! Woo!

I'd like to see Turbo too. If Squirrel Girl is there, maybe a cameo from the Great Lakes Avengers.

[Dvandom]

Considering budget for FX, Koi Boy is a LOT more likely than Nova or Firestar, though.

Give me live-action Night Thrasher as leader or get out!

P.S. Add Darkhawk in the inevitable post-premiere cast expansion, please.

[Broadside]

Squirrel Girl's supporting cast are absolutely intolerable. I don't want them around.

[WorkbenchManiac]

I'm absolutely up for Squirrel Girl, Nancy and the rest of the gang. Also, Cat-Thor.

Screw those New Warriors, as long as I get an adorable Doreen.

[ZacWilliam1]

I LOVE Squirrel Girl as a character and a book. But honestly I don't think Chipmunk Hunk and Koi Boi have enough personality to be "intolerable" to anyone. I'm pretty sure CH's entire personality is "nice guy SG had a crush on" and Koi Boi is basically "slightly more serious nice guy who likes to occasionally make fish-based puns." They're kinda very generic.

-ZacWilliam, now Nancy and the Brain Guy have actual personalities, but they are both pretty wonderful.

Seriously, I do not read any super hero comics, like AT ALL. Not my cup of tea. Never heard of the new warriors, to be honest.

But Squirrel Girl is the exception. Because she is unbeatable!

[Maruten]

As a NW fan since day one I would really prefer to see something approaching the classic lineup, but the one deal breaker for me is Speedball. If they give me a prominent Speedball and do him justice, they can fill the rest of the cast with whatever stupid losers they want. 

 

Spoiler

As long as it also includes Nova, Justice, Firestar, Namorita and Ben Reilly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hahahahahaha sigh

[Undead Scottsman]

This is probably going to be a Defenders situation where they're just using the name. I wouldn't be surpised to see some Great Lakes Avengers in there

[Maruten]

Well that's about the only thing that would get me to forgive them for not using Speedball. 

[Confuzor]

Live action means I can enjoy Squirrel Girl without that horrifying art style!

[Maruten]

I mean, it depends who they cast.

Speedball is an absolute must, but Night Thrasher, the leader of team, is not?

So, are you prejudiced against...a helmeted Nightwing on a skateboard?

[Fero McPigletron]

Would Richard Rider Nova be out of limits due to Guardians of the Galaxy?

They'd probably tech out Thrasher as their Iron Man. Or else they'd put Rage in.

I'm thinking they'd only want to out one goofball in there so it's either Speedball or Slapstick but not both, aaaaw.

[Maruten]

That is correct.

So, are you prejudiced against...a helmeted Nightwing on a skateboard?

No, I would very much prefer that he was present. But he's no Speedball. Or Justice, or Firestar, etc.

He seems like a hard sell without significant reinvention. I fear if they did use him, it would be as a target of mockery.

[Broadside]

I hope they use him like Contest of Champions did: even if he seems ridiculous, he's still​ Batman on a skateboard.

[Dvandom]

A lot of the original NW lineup are tied up in other properties, not just Nova.  Firestar is likely covered by the X-Men license, Namorita with the maybe-untangled-maybe-not Namor rights, Nova's usable but the Nova Corps has already been defined differently.
