Id love to see Netflix/Marvel do a TV-MA Howard The Duck show

~~JakeSully~~ · 08-17-2015, 10:37 AM

To cash-in on Seth Mcfarlane's successful Ted movies as audiences are accepting a talking living Teddy Bear and are also accepting a talking Raccoon anthro in a live-action film being Guardians of the Galaxy, i was thinking Marvel Studios and Netflix should do a TV show based on the Steve Gerber cult comics and be more faithful to those comics and make everyone forget about the 1986 film.

It should be a dark comedy (ala Bad Santa or Kick Ass) and Seth Green can reprise his voice role of Howard with effects by WETA and who can play Beverly Switzler? it can also be in the same MCU too. The show can be called "Marvel's Howard: A new Species of Hero".

What was wrong with the movie?! I LOVED that flick, cheesy and "cheap" as it was. It was absolutely a product of its time, much like Teen Wolf or Fright Night. That said, I would LOVE a Howard series, though who could play Beverly is up for grabs. Unfortunately, I think such a show would be a tough sell these days, as most Marvel/comic movie fans would prefer a much more serious kind of show- and Howard is pretty much the antithesis of that. The comic has always been very goofy and bizarre, wacky, and just plain funny, unlike much of Marvel's material. This is a "hero" whom the general public (and especially the government and police) refuses to even believe exists!

True story- during Civil War, Howard tried to register for the SHRA, and was literally turned away on the grounds that his registering would mean the government would have to acknowledge that he was indeed real, after YEARS of denying his existence to the public- and they didn't want have to to wade through the miles of paperwork involved from those past denials. They told him that officially, he didn't exist, and therefore could not register. Yet they allowed Grizzly, a man in a bear suit, to do so that same day..... And this is NORMAL for a Howard tale....

I would love a Howard the Duck movie or TV Show but not on Netflix.

Netflix is the best platform for a show like this.

It would have been interesting as a mini series.

Ok i admit i do like the movie as it's a guilty pleasure of mine since i was a kid.

And did you like his cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy?

That idea sounds ridiculous. And not in a good way.

I'd love a new Howard the Duck movie or show. I've always liked the old movie. I never knew it was based on a comic til a few years ago. I just liked it because it was a fun goofy movie.
