6 Marvel Characters Who Could Support a Traditional TV Show
Word came down last week that Marvel is scrapping most of the work done on the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again TV show, and that they’re looking to make TV shows more like classic TV productions. This is both dismaying and uplifting news. On the one hand, I’m sorry to hear about any problems at Marvel Studios. On the other hand, I’m all for them doing what needs to be done to put out the best possible product.
I have enjoyed pretty much all of the Marvel Disney+ shows so far, with few exceptions. But it’s interesting to learn that Marvel leaned into making the shows like movies instead of making the shows like shows. That explains a lot. And it’ll be interesting to see Marvel make their shows more like traditional shows, with showrunners, pilots and planned seasons going forward. To that end, why don’t I stick my nose in where it doesn’t belong and offer some suggestions? Marvel has a whole host of characters and teams that haven’t been used yet, and who I think could make for a fun, multi-season, traditional TV show.
Join me after the jump for all the characters I think could support their own multi-season TV show, without the need to tie into the movies.

Another Star Wars TV show has come and gone and I was very excited for this one. Like everyone else in the fandom, I had no faith in Ahsoka Tano when she was first introduced as the kiddie character in a new Star Wars cartoon way back in the day. But she’s now one of my all-time favorite Star Wars characters, and I was very excited for her show. Now that it’s over…meh.
TV Show Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Ahsoka Tano is a very fun character and she’s had a great story. And I really like Rosario Dawson’s live action version. But the Ahsoka show was ultimately a bit of a disappointment in the end. I enjoyed the show for the most part and had high hopes, but I’m not overall happy with the final product. It’s well-made, well-acted, has some neat parts; but the first season didn’t really accomplish much, in my opinion.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of the first season of Ahsoka. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts and feelings in the comments below.

I very much enjoyed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. It was fun, funny, full of energy and life, and was just plain cool all around. So I’m very much excited for the announced sequel, as well as the announced two-season cartoon on Nickelodeon! It’s going to be called Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and will serve as a bridge between the two movies.
Based on how Mutant Mayhem ended, I’m pretty much assuming that the new cartoon series will feature the Turtles in high school. That’s a great premise, and one I don’t think we’ve seen before. All the young voice actors from Mutant Mayhem are returning for the Turtles, and it should be a blast to see them as real teenagers in a real high school, just like they wanted! Should be a fun watch. And what would be even more fun? Filling the high school with other teenage mutants from the wider world of the Turtles!
So join me after the jump as I rattle off some of my favorite old school TMNT mutants who deserve a chance to step up and being recognized in cartoon form, at long last!

6 Answers I Need from Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati
The Ahsoka TV show is almost over and there’s only one thing I really care about: the secret history and potential futures of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. I haven’t seen last night’s episode yet, so maybe every question on this list has already been answered, but I wrote this list anyway. These characters are super damn cool.
I think everyone agrees that Baylan and Shin are the best part about the Ahsoka show. It’s a good show, it’s fine. But does anybody really care about Sabine getting back to Ezra? I watched all of Rebels, but I really, really don’t care. Should we really be all that concerned about Grand Admiral Thrawn when the sequels exist? No thank you. I want to know more about the super cool, super mysterious dark Force-users who have their own agenda and aren’t super predictable.
So join me after the jump for six questions I have about Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, even if they are super obvious questions.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out on digital download and whatever else people use to watch movies at home these days. It’s one of the best movies of the year, and a hugely awesome experience. I loved the movie, as if that was in question. And I’m very much looking forward to the announced sequel: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Sadly, the plan to release Beyond the Spider-Verse next year probably isn’t going to happen. I thought they were making these two movies back-to-back, but I guess that’s not the case, and work has barely begun on the threequel. Oh well. I’m a patient man, and I’ll see it when I see it. I once did a list of what I wanted to see in Across the Spider-Verse, and some of it actually came true! So if I do this list of what I want to see in Beyond, maybe some of those will come true as well.
Join me after the jump for six things I hope to see in the threequel/trilogy conclusion. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams in the comments below!
