Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Are Heading to TV

Quote

Marvel TV today revealed that “Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” (working title) is in development. Based on the hit comic book series, the animated project follows the adventures of nine-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette, an African-America girl who teams up with her crimson-colored dinosaur and uses her smarts to save the day. Lunella, A.K.A. Moon Girl, was created by Brandon Montclare, Amy Reeder, and Natacha Bustos in 2015—and the world’s smartest person hasn’t looked back since!

 

“Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” is being produced by Marvel Animation and Cinema Gypsy Productions (Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland, producers of “black-ish” and “grown-ish”) with visual and animation development services by Titmouse, Inc. The animated project is in consideration for a Disney Channels Worldwide series.

Why do they have to continually screw with classic stuff? Ridiculous.

It's an animated series so I have no problems with it.  Kids like dinosaurs.

 

I'm assuming Marvel/Disney is building up their streaming library so they have to start creating a lot of content.

Kirby's creations continue to make Hollywood money.

And this is the secret Marvel project Laurence Fishburne had shared in the news recently that he noted would be announced soon. I didn't realize he was involved with 'black-ish'.

Because other than Devil Dinosaur it doesn't have anything to do with the original series from what I understand.

Then why not just create something new? If you use DD and change everything else it dilutes and cheapens the original concept.

It's just a bad argument.  It's like saying because Power Man and Iron Fist were a duo, that neither one could ever team up with someone else.

Well he plays the grandfather and I remember his name credited as an exec producer... could be wrong.

I never caught the executive producer credits with the few episodes I have seen.

It’s a good show for light entertainment, I watch that and The Goldbergs.

I sympathize with you but there is a place for things that never change (museums). These characters have to live and that means adapting them to new media and new times. Take Cumberbatches turn at Sherlock. In any event, I expect the series will be full of little nods to the source material. Looking forward to watching this one with my daughter.

And being an animated series about a young girl, this is most probably going to be the target audience. General family viewers, but especially with young girls. Smart move.

Does this mean my Bronze Age DD run will be worth something now .

It wouldn't work if you had the original Moon Boy, who looks like a modern human guy dressed in a costume store gorilla suit.  For me, one of the more ridiculous ideas in the very enjoyable original series.

The modern series is an interesting alternative take.
