The Next Marvel 'Toon?

[Chris Wood]

This was actually the concept for the Fox Kids animated series that was canned a couple of years ago because of Marvels impending bankruptcy. Although this was the primary reason for the cancellation Fox Kids also had some major concerns with the project because they feared that the show would not be relatable to kids because of the time period it was set in. There were also major questions about the use of guns in the show and the fact Cap would be fighting against the Nazis (of course this name would have been changed).

That business about kids not being able to relate to the time period is a crock. Look at the Batman series. Batman:TAS looks like it takes place in the 40s (although it's actually a combination of past and future), and Batman Beyond takes place in the distant future. Surely those time periods are strange and new to kids. Yet those shows have been very successful.

Guns would naturally have to feature prominently, but they don't necessarily have to shoot anyone. Just do it GI Joe style with shots flying all over the place but no injuries. Anyway, the main enemy in most episodes would probably be some kind of supervillains like Red Skull or Baron Zemo rather than regular soldiers.

I'm not sure that featuring Nazis would be a problem. The Indy Jones films are classic family entertainment with prominent Nazi characters. They could make it so that the Nazis were some kind of mutant or alien race so that Germans would not be offended by the depiction. The concentration camp issue would be wisely left out altogether unless this is going to be an Adult Swim show.

Yeah, we all know that horrible sounding Hulk & Son (currently dubbed simply "Hulks") series is on the way, but let's forget that at the moment. Just completely ignore it. What Marvel character (s) would you like to see get the animated treatment next? Why?

I agree that Hulk & Son sounds lame, I'd just want to see a new Incredible Hulk series, just like the 1996 series. Kind of like what they did with Spider-Man (2003)

First of all in a perfect world directors would drop everything and do a profeesinal award winning Avengers movie then make a fantastic cartoon that i would watch everytime But its not Avengers would be great with Cap or maybe a Cap solo series DD or FF would be good. And on a side note DD was a MFing (MF = mighty fine) good movie why did so many people dislike it i loved it
