Marvel Cinematic Universe Future Adaptions: They could do Worse

Good day viewers, today I’m going to discuss a new and important topic…what some of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe productions should be!
Earlier this week, I saw the premiere episode of Agents of SHIELD and I was…blown away, Joss Whedon captured the feel of the MCU perfectly on a comparatively smaller budget. If you’re a Marvel fan and you haven’t seen it then that’s like sticking your head in a bucket of piranha and not expected to get eaten…it is terribly stupid.

Now I decided to give my opinion on which properties they should adapt next, and my opinions on these most excellent adaptions are as follows, drumroll please…

1.Avengers Academy: For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Avengers Academy is a series about these teenage metahumans who get taken under the Avengers’ wing so they can be trained into superheroes…the twist being that (the initial six at least) were washouts of the formerly Norman Osborn owned Superhero Registration Act most likely to turn into supervillains.

Since we can’t get the X-Men worked into the MCU (damn movie rights), this would do just as well, it’d make a terrific TV show and a great high school drama (normally I hate those kinds of shows, but doing in it the context of a superhero school I’d actually enjoy that) with issues unique to superheroes-in-training…it’d be even better if they could get the copyright issue settled enough for Dust and Rockslide to be students (Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are going to be in Avengers 2 after all, the Muslim and the Thing fanboy just need to be something other than mutants.)

2.Howard the Duck: Say what you will about George Lucas’ steaming shithole of a film…because unless you’re praising it, it’s true. But as hard as George Lucas dropped the black dwarf bowling ball on that, the series is due for a new adaptation that doesn’t suck.

I may not have read the comics for myself (yet) but from what I can tell, this series is extremely funny…what kind of superhero doesn’t want to be a superhero and yet continually get dragged into crap that’s too weird for most superheroes to face, such as Jackpot the One armed Bandit, Doctor Bong, Kong Lomerate, Status Quo, and the Band of the Bland.

If made into a movie, the MCU would have a great comedy franchise that could compete with the other oddball comedies in cinema today, especially given the unique nature of its humor…

3.Nextwave: Agents of HATE: This series deserves an adaptation in some form, and why? …Well why the fuck not?! There’s action by the bucket load, comedy that can come only from the pen of a master like Warren Ellis, plenty of great characters, and frigging Machine Man!
If this series were made into a film, what would ensue is the Gurren Lagann of superhero films, a romp through awesomeness itself with comedic mishaps, epic fanservice, and more amazing than anything they’ve made so far (not counting the Avengers.)

So that’s it, my personal hopes on what they adapt next…I’d like to hear your opinions too though.

So tell me…what would you love to see marvel adapt next?

Also, if you were expecting the pictures and captions, I’m afraid there’s been a problem with them today…they should be working next week though.
