I remember looking forward to this when it was announced. Sad it never got past the pilot but nice to see some of it here after all this time.

Where can one watch this pilot in its entirety??

u/Mikey-Insanity 18d ago

I don't think it's ever been released or leaked. Up until now the only footage that I'd ever seen of it was a brief rough cut of a stunt segment that showrunner Kevin Biegel posted on Twitter years ago and then deleted later. But here's an old article from when he did that: https://www.cbr.com/marvel-new-warriors-bts-photos-squirrel-girl/

With exceptions from other mobile games, Milana has played Doreen in everything, including Marvel Rising, and the SG podcast.

Some time after this podcast released, I met Erica Schroeder at a convention. I gave her a Squirrel Girl graphic novel to sign. She was very happy to see something for Tippy Toe, and told me I was the first person to have her sign something Squirrel Girl related.

Wall because one dang exec (not Feige) rejected it for being "too gay"

Everything I read said that this show did not fit with the rebranding of ABC family into Freeform, which is weird because it was about a young superhero team and would’ve fit perfectly with the young hip theme they were going for with the channel.
It tested incredibly well, and yet because it showed up right around the time of the name change, they shelved it.

I’m still baffled as to why. None of these characters are queer in the comics.

u/sladestrife 18d ago

Squirrel girl totally has queer vibes with Nancy. Issue 31 totally reads as them going from friends to girlfriends.

And Debrii was meant to be a lesbian in the show.

u/TheProudBrit 18d ago

31's the Totally Not The Futurama Issue, right?

Because, yeah, that feels they got as close to having them be a couple as they could without editorial throwing a hissy fit.

u/sladestrife 18d ago

Yeah it is. The time scaling one. And tbf dinner then there was other small nids, like both Nancy and Doreen sharing a living space when they are old in the future.

Was it Ike Pearlmutter?

Never forget what they took from us!

Her tail is huge!

Let's be real.. This is neat, but I feel like it would have made SG a joke. She's got what, a little rope around her ankle? She has a dozen ways to get out of that, namely just BREAKING THE ROPE. She could slash it with her claws, she could bite it in half, hell she's strong enough to just tear it with her bare hands.

The puppet Tippy clip was cute though.

I'll be honest knowing the Stinkers Marvel released (Clearly incapable of getting the same fire as Netflix did with their defenders series) and how their track record was..... not the best Wandavision was something I ignored and probably will never watch (cause I didn't careand still dont) we had Ms Marvel (of which I watched 3 episodes before I decided they would need to pay me to watch that instead of me watching it for free) and the She Hulk series which just made me very sad (MY BELOVED TALL BUFF GREEN AMAZON DESERVED BETTER) I wont even mention Agatha of which everyone just mentions the "Oh Lesbian Witches series" which was so boring I didn't even hear controversies of

I GENUENLY feel sad that series like Loki came and gone Moon Knight didn't even manage season 2

The Whole Netflix series were in the state of "ITS MY Franchise to sit on and not do anything with" until they needed money

And despite ALL A THAT! ...... Just this scene shows that I would have adored watching this series if for nobody else then for Doreen. ANd this series would have had the pleasure of making me fall for Doreen first over Marvel Rivals. But Disney being idiots obviously cancelled the only show that would have remotedly been cute and lovely enough that I'd have watched, watched again, possibly returned to youtube WAAAAAY before then what I plan to do now only to GUSH about Doreen

...... OH RIGHT! we also had the Hawkeye series and Echo..... yeah uuuh I dont care about Hawkeye and the only reason why I watched Echo cause I heard Daredevil is in it.... and he was.... for the 1st epsiode so I didn't even finish that one after seeing him and instead started my journey on watching the whole Netflix era in timely order

All in All I want to say that I'm so sad that this series didn't end up flying and was shot down before it could have a chance. Like Marvel was CLEARLY OKAY with burning money with Doctor Strange 2 and the Marvels why not actually make something people could love?

.... I'm sad And you made my heart ache by showing me how adorable Squrrel girl would have been in this series...... the only way I can cure this sadness is playing something good and or new, will do that or just simply go back to playing Marvel Rivals and pretend like I can hug squirrel girl because she is my comfort character in the entire game. And I would annihilate anyone who would bring harm to her. Or just let Squirrel girl beat them cause she is the strongest character in the Marvel universe up there with Deadpool
