Avengers: Endgame (spoilers)

There was a Squirrel Girl series in development at one point. She was part of the Great Lakes Avengers at some point.

 

Squirrel Girl became a thing after I stopped regularly reading comics, so I have no idea what her actual powers are, but isn't she supposed to be insanely overpowered somehow? Like Thor, Thanos, or Silver Surfer levels of power?

 

She's supposed to be part of the New Warriors series they were working up, I think.

 

I think she can communicate with squirrels. She has superhuman strength and agility, she can bite through wood and has a tail. That said, she has defeated incredibly powerful opponents, including Thanos, but it always happens off panel. It's more of a running gag than anything.

 

I would bet folding money Kamala Kahn will be a cornerstone of Disney Plus

 

I'm guessing she ends up the movies, at least to start.

 

Still wondering what the fuck Power Pack is ...

 

Power Pack is a group of siblings with superpowers. Their last name is Powers.

 

Anna Kendrick was once stumping to play Squirrel Girl, but I believe that was before or right as the first Pitch Perfect was coming out. I imagine her fee would be way higher now. (The other "perfect" marriage of casting and character - Brie Larsen wants to play Samus Aran from Metroid.)

 

Milana Vayntrub (the former AT&T girl) is supposedly Squirrel Girl.

 

Yeah, they've filmed one episode of the New Warriors series that she was supposed to be in, but it's been languishing in limbo. It was supposed to be on Freeform last year, but conjecture is they held on to it to use on Disney Plus, but it's kinda fallen by the wayside since then. The pilot apparently was a hit with everyone who saw it, so not sure what led to them holding off on it. Maybe they wanted more recognizable names for the first Disney Plus shows from Marvel and will add New Warriors later.

 

I don't think Marvel even tries an Avengers movie for four or five years - instead focusing on producing TV shows and prequels, building things out, filling in back story - So does Happy became Peter Parker's "connection" with the rest of the Avengers now? As much as the loss of Downey as an actor and the character of Iron Man hurts - Stark Industries was the "hub" of the entire franchise, creator of tech, do they make "that kid" from the funeral the "new Stark/IronMan?"
