Squirrel Girl movie?
 
I hate BossLogic. Dudes one of the worst "artists" around, but even a broken clock is right twice a day:

I mean, this is more than fitting, unless you think about

Who would own the role. 100%

And no, Kendrick is NOT a good choice for April. Stop it. Don't even.

Not every character deserves a movie.

No to Squirrel Girl. No to Howard the Duck.

raph27 07-02-2016 10:02 PM

I think a Squirrel Girl movie is a fantastic idea. They've proved that smaller characters can still be successful with Ant-Man. Also Kendrick would be great for the role.

Commenter 42 07-02-2016 10:08 PM

I'd rather we get SG than another FF movie, or more Wolverine.

TurtleTitan97 07-02-2016 10:10 PM

While I am a fan of Squirrel Girl, I don't think she's the type of character who can carry her own movie compared to, say, Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman.

Plus there's the fact she's a mutant, so unless they heavily modify her background like they did with Wanda or Pietro, that'll put a damper on her chances of appearing in the MCU.

GoldMutant 07-02-2016 10:14 PM

Eh, in a few years time. I'd rather see Squirrel Girl appear in more cartoons first to form an honest opinion. I may be wrong, but isn't her only animated appearance Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes episode The Cure? I do know it was a mere cameo before She-Hulk appeared, but I'm unsure.

Regardless, expand on her in other media and then bring into a movie, probably won't be until the 2020's or 30's though until we see her get a movie.

But would you rather get Squirrel Girl instead of a GOOD Fantastic Four movie (if such a thing were to be possible)?

Powder 07-02-2016 10:15 PM

Dunham is a bad person. She doesn't deserve a Marvel role.

That's just it, I don't think it's possible, and I don't much like them.

Their was that one manga FF way back, had some cool ideas about Richards stretching his prefrontal cortex and individual neurons....a cool idea...but most of my exposure to them has left me pretty cold.

I don't know, I just feel they should be in another movie, Spider-Man or Avengers, as supporting players.

But Teller and Jordan can Piss off. I refuse to watch anything with them.

I just think they look alike. I hate her too, trust.

She' a recurring character on Ultimate Spider-Man.

chrisdude 07-03-2016 01:48 AM

I wouldn't cast Kendrick, but it's a cool character, and I'd totally go see her movie. The current squirrel girl is curvy, and I'd rather see an actress with a "conspicuously awesome butt."

CyberCubed 07-03-2016 01:57 AM

Obscure superheroes don't deserve movies. They should just be sidekicks in big movies like the way they treat Falcon, War Machine, in the Marvel movies.

The only one who deserves a movie is Black Widow and Hawkeye, probably together.

Ninjinister 07-03-2016 02:31 AM

Yes to Squirrel Girl, yes to Kendrick, a thousand times yes. I am absolutely down with this.

drgon78 07-03-2016 06:07 AM

Yes to Squirrel Girl, yes to Kendrick, but she needs to be in a Dead Pool movie.

IronMan was an obscure character until his first movie came out, and look what happened, he's the most well known character from the MCU, surely the same can happen with Squirrel Girl, if they do her right the movie can be an action comedy of some sort.

They would have to change her origin however, cause in the comics she's a mutant but has no connections to X-Men, so they have to create a new origin for the movie.

Commenter 42 07-03-2016 06:55 AM

Folks here love them some Kendrick.

Don't get it, don't care.

She should have to fight Dunham for the part, in a battle to the death.

MsMarvelDuckie 07-03-2016 07:31 AM

How many times do I have to say this?! NO, Iron-Man was NEVER "obscure". He has been one of four FLAGSHIP characters in Marvel for DECADES! Right yp with Hulk Cap and Spidey. He is a FOUNDING Avenger and has been around since before Marvel as a company even existed!

That said, no to a Squirrel Girl movie. I would seriously take another Howard the Duck film over her. (Hey, the original Howard is a guilty pleasure of mine....)

There you go that's your Squirrel Girl movie. Pay me later Marvel.

NinjaPug 07-03-2016 10:09 AM

So original. Did you come up with that by yourself?

And Ellie Kemper for Squirrel Girl.

plastroncafe 07-03-2016 10:33 AM

Rachel Bloom for Squirrel Girl!

A self-aware super hero movie that embraces all the silliness from the Golden and Silver Age of comics? Yeah, I’d watch that.

Squirrel Girl could be like a family friendly Deadpool movie.

ABrown 07-03-2016 11:05 AM

Anna Kendrick as Squirrel Girl? Yes please. People need to take to social media and demand that this happen.

Why? A film like this would never be seriously financed by a studio.

A woman who wrote candidly about molesting her little sister in her best selling autobiography.

Hello, yes, yes please.

The current "Unbeatable Squirrel Girl" comic by Ryan North and Erica Henderson is great, and I could totally see a movie working. Something on a (much) smaller budget that doesn't have to compete with the big blockbusters and can just have some silly, fluffy fun with the MCU.

^Ha^.

For the other's asking, google "girls" on HBO. It perfectly exemplifies the worst of humanity, or simply is a snapshot of this generation.

Lena Dunham also happens to be the anti-christ.

There's some sad truth right here.
Men and boys won't watch a movie like this, so it'll likely never get made.

Pretty sure most fans wouldn't support it because Squirrel Girl isn't the type of character who can carry a solo film, not just "Men and Boys".

She's only appeared in a handful of comics (Most of which are team up books as a supporting characters), has no major story arcs for a movie to draw inspiration from compared to other heroes, and doesn't even have her own personal rogues gallery.

Even She-Hulk has a better shot at getting a solo movie than Squirrel Girl.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear, I'm not talking about actual fans, but the studios. They believe that men and boys won't watch a movie with a female protagonist, which is why it won't get made.

And considering it's taken this long to get a Wonder Woman film in production, there's no chance for a She-Hulk. And if Wondy doesn't kill at the box office, there never will be.

Pretty sure most of those men and boys are looking forward to the Captain Marvel film, though.

How long has Red Hulk had a moustache? Ross suddenly becoming clean-shaven when he Hulked out was the dumbest part of that (already super dumb) original Red Hulk run, so... good call there. And he looks like a big red gun-toting Tom Selleck here, which is hilarious.

I've heard very few dudes clamoring for that movie, and far more of them still kvetching that Carol Danvers be Captain Marvel at all, mostly because: "Ugh, I hate it when they change the gender of a character. Stupid SJW!"
