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

And Ellie Kemper 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.

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.

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.

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!"
