Top 10 Superheroes Who Deserve The Netflix Treatment


[Music]
welcome to the streaming age a brave new
era of original television that isn’t
concerned with advertisers or commercial
breaks your family yeah who cares
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten superheroes who deserve the Netflix
treatment for this list we’re looking at
Marvel superheroes who would benefit the
most from a Netflix adaptation joining
the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe in
a small screen capacity alongside the
likes of daredevil Jessica Jones and
Luke Cage
just this once we’re not gonna worry who
the rights belong to because as
spider-man recently proved anything is
possible
you have a metal arm that is awesome
dude
characters who’ve already had their own
movie or TV shows are still eligible so
long as there’s room to argue that the
current Netflix style can do it better
the only characters not being considered
are those currently getting their own
steady stream of films made by another
studio such as x-men or Marvel
characters already well-established
essential film characters like Black
Widow Hawkeye etc we’re still friends
right there’s an RDD number 10 Angela I
don’t think so
nope she isn’t the new female for she’s
thorez lesser-known sister created by
Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane she first
appeared in spawn in 1993 but didn’t
make her Marvel Comics debut until 2013
although of Asgardian descent she’s kind
of BFFs with the guardians of the galaxy
which provides a rare opportunity to
bridge the gap between the Avengers and
their spacefaring characters lady SIF
and Volstagg already opened the door by
visiting the collector at the end of
Thor the dark world but a well-written
Angela series could really help build a
sense of unity further bridging the
cosmic divide a mix of sci-fi and high
fantasy it would be all kinds of epic
you paid the price for striking my
brother number nine Miles Morales whoa
whoa whoa I’m not you you’re dead which
makes me dead
no way neither of us could be DIC when
ultimate Peter Parker met his tragic end
newcomer Miles Morales met serious
resistance but following his 2011 debut
he quickly proved himself to be much
more than a publicity stunt he’s a well
developed character that Marvel recently
integrated into its main universe with
spider-man recently sharing the screen
with Iron Man and company in Captain
America Civil War why not let Netflix
introduce wider audiences to Miles
Morales then he could be brought into
the main universe just like you was in
the comic books and protect New York
alongside daredevil okay Spidey do what
I do
number eight black cat spies who are you
just a stray Sony has finally come to
their senses and a loud spidey to make
them much-needed move to the MCU in
order to join his fellow Avengers in a
successful franchise with that in mind
it’s high time that the web-slinger’s
rich cast of characters get the
attention they so rightly deserve I owe
it to the world to give something back
like you I want to do good things with
it a number of characters could fill the
role but in spirit of keeping peach
Netflix series similar but distinct we
humbly submit black cat for your
consideration why well she’s based in
NYC opening the door to a wonderful
crossover with the defenders or in the
perfect dreamworld Miles Morales but
also her cat burgler tendencies would
make for a great heist themed series
distinguishing it from the current
lineup of Marvel Netflix titles I hate
to be a backseat driver but this is a
one-way street relax
okay number seven she-hulk you’re the
best Jen really of course you’re a
walking green screen I can erase you no
problem and pop in our star hooray for
Hollywood Marvel has a knack forward
lawyer by day superhero by night type
characters admittedly this one just
seems like too good of a fit to pass up
Jennifer Walters has some of the Hulk’s
gamma radiation in her blood after
having required an emergency blood
transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner
as a result it only gives her a fraction
of his strength in her she-hulk form but
it comes with the added bonus of letting
her keep her self-control personality
and intellect apart from helping
cultivate more connections between
marbles Netflix content and the feature
films through family ties her job as a
high profile lawyer sets her up
perfectly to go toe-to-toe with Matt
Murdock in the courtroom winner winner
chicken dinner blow you put him on a
leash number six cloak and dagger yeah
Turkey
here’s one classic aspect of comic books
that Marvel really is yet to do justice
on screen the crime-fighting duo
cloak-and-dagger make excellent
candidates and apparently ABC Family
recently rebranded freedom agrees as
they’ve greenlit an adaptation but
here’s the thing
ABC doesn’t really do Marvel properties
justice like Netflix does now I don’t
give it bag of dicks what kinky shit
you’re into just being do it quietly
agents of shield has steadily improved
but the Marvel shows coming to Netflix
managed to be daring and treat the
source material with reverence without
worrying about age-appropriate content
or the interests of their advertisers
this couples volatile tale of love drug
addiction and morally flexible
crime-fighting is a perfect fit for
television but seeing this incredible
duo get adapted in a way that plays it
safe would be a travesty we oughtta stay
Spidey held does but he told us not to
trust any who told you not to trust
anyone
okay we’ll help number five lady SIF if
Netflix told pants that they only have
one Asgardian on their roster of
superheroes it would come down to Angela
or Lady SIF when the points are tallied
it definitely takes it though the
tiebreaker is Jamie Alexander she was a
clear stand out amongst the Asgardians
in both four films
translating the character from comic
book to silver screen in a way that few
fans could fault when you couple her
interpretation of SIF with her starring
role as the captivating Jane Doe on
blind-spot she proves that she has
acting chops to take SIF from supporting
cast – the title character of her own
Netflix series you’re welcome
number four moon night daredevil was
gritty but Jessica Jones really showed
just how edgy Marvel was willing to get
children should be seen and not heard
all better still not seen and not heard
sexual assault trauma revenge fantasies
Jessica Jones proved itself to be a
fearless series with one of the best
female leads in recent television so why
stop there let’s go further into
Marvel’s Dark Side Moon Knight is the
avatar of the Egyptian god of vengeance
Khan who sounds pretty silly right but
it’s technically not he’s driven to
fight crime by a thirst for vengeance
and his punishments are often brutally
violent so kind of like Batman gone
truly mad his combination of
ruthlessness and questionable sanity
could make for a Netflix series that is
equal parts superhero show and
psychological thriller number three Nova
[Music]
Marvel films are all about hinting at
the larger universe I mean how big of a
tease was it to have the Nova Corps in a
film without giving bands arguably their
most famous member Nova despite rumors
that Harley keener
the kid in Iron Man 3 would become the
new Nova nothing became that but it’s
still not too late Nova Corps has
already been established so just give
Nova his own Netflix series expanding
the cosmic aspect of the MCU
in the process considering what a huge
success guardians of the galaxy proved
to be it’s pretty much guaranteed hit
this is denarian saal a little cool with
a record I advised against trustingly
they got my dick message prove me wrong
number 2 blade
sure
he already got his shot at the big
screen three times and a very
short-lived series on Spike but that was
all before the MCU some may feel that
blade has received more than his fair
share of chances over the years but try
to think of it this way blade has paid
his dues putting in the hard work long
before the genre really hit it stride
you want me to hunt them for you
Netflix finally brought redemption to
the Punisher we’re sure it could do the
same with a series that’s much more
fondly remembered by audiences think
this half vampire half human has been
around since the 1970s with plenty of
great stories to adapt
now that Twilight is finally in our
cultural rearview mirror Netflix and
Marvel can give us a vampire to be proud
of before we unveil our top pick here a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one the Fantastic Four the other
survivors of the Baxter incident all
exhibited unique physical conditions if
there were a celebrity rehab show for
comic-book properties Fantastic Four
would feature prominently had a little
relapse huh
every time someone picks them up and
promises them Redemption they just end
up burying the bar a little deeper the
first film was a b-movie nightmare that
was really never released
you wonder they don’t want the outside
will to have contact with us then we got
to let’s be honest the bismil film
starring Jessica Alba and the pre MCU
Chris Evans can’t join me Josh Trank
filled bands with hope only to dash them
against the rocks repeatedly mercilessly
had with abandon admittedly Fantastic
Four is a tough nut to crack their
powers seem dated as is their aesthetic
but Marvel’s first family deserves
better dial back the effects in
spectacle make it about science and
family and maybe we can finally get a
fantastic for that Marvel fans deserve
this is all my fault
that we can agree on do you agree with
our list oh yeah of all the Marvel
characters out there which do you want
to see get their own Netflix series
we’re not monsters we’re here for more
streaming friendly top 10s published
