James Gunn Once Pitched A Power Pack MAX Series To Marvel, But “Marvel Studios Nixed It”
Posted by Jude Terror
But Power Pack almost had a different kind of revival back in 2009, according to Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn. According to Gunn, he pitched Marvel an adult-oriented Power Pack MAX series back in 2009, and get this: Marvel was totally on board. Unfortunately, the series was “nixed,” according to Gunn, not by Marvel’s comic division, but by Marvel Studios.

Great, I want fun adventures with the Power Pack back, not some edgy tryhard "mature" version of them, the rest of the comics already shit on the characters enough
The fact that Marvel Studios has the ability to nix plans made by the comic division is disgusting and I hate it.
That said, as much as I like James Gunn, I don't like the sound of that idea at all.

'sup, reddit
>>93516595
Yeah this is kind of a mixed blessing.
>>93516642
I hate reddit you pleb.
>>93516447
>Power Pack MAX
Well, my opinion of James Gunn just took a pretty big hit.
>>93516478
Doesn't get edgier than making Julie a lesbo 'actress'
>>93516595
If only they good nix all of Marvel's shit.
>>93516478
So do I....BUT stay away from Guri, she's busy being Gwen.
>>93516595
They know better than Marvel though.
Hmm, I can't see how they'd care unless they had plans for Power Pack yet the last time anything was done with them was a brief cameo in Super Hero Squad Show. And before that the pilot from decades before.

>Implying Super isnt 4chan as fuck

Which would be worse James Gunn's Power Pack Max or Gabby Rivera's Lgbt Power Pack?
Yeah, this sounds like Gunn.
>>93517473
Rivera's no doubt. Nothing but LGBT shit with added salt of Julie's rainbow trail being used to symbolize it. Fairly she'd make both girls gay and write out the brothers.
>>93517473
They're equally as damaging honestly.
>>93517535
No, no, she'd also make the brothers gay.and they'd be gay for each other. Rivera wins an Eisner for this run.

I agree. What the fuck? What's the point of having a comic division then? This new revelation is gonna make me question everything I believed about the shit state of current comics. Just how many of the shit decisions were actually influenced by Marvel Studios?

They were trying to work on one, back in 2007. But I think they eventually changed their minds once they had more of the MCU in mind.

And remember that Ennis' first Fury miniseries may have torpedoed a film deal with George Clooney.

>2/2 To elaborate: It was an alt Universe story & the Pack was in their teens/early 20s & they were all very screwed up from their childhoods
... So, basically their modern incarnations with more teen sex and swearing, and probably drug abuse. I'm glad to see this got shot down.
Although it's disconcerting to have it confirmed how much power the film division has over the comic division...

Additionally, a lot of Hollywood folks got pissed with Marvel when they announced their "Princess Di comes back to life in X-Statix" arc and Avi Arad had to tell them to change the story if they wanted any more movies made.

They bring in the bucks ... though I guess that means the merch dept. should probably have the most say.
