If DC made a Power Girl anime for Netflix similar to how Edgerunners was handled, would it ve a success?
>>
>>143369782
Of course not.

Why would you think it could be?
>>
Depends: Would they reduce her chest size and give her a more modest outfit?
>>
Powergirl is a very "nothing" character. Outside of her boob window there's literally nothing interesting about her.
>>
>>143369782
Maybe if it was a team show instead of just focused on her.
>>
>>143369856
If it was handled by someone who was competent, Peeg could be written as a good character. It worked for Miles.
>>
>>143369782
As someone who never saw Edgerunners, can you be more specific?

Also higher-res
>>
>>143370432
Completely handled by japanese teams to have creative control.
Gore, sex, nudity, and high bodycount action scenes.
Self contained story within larger universe.
Original characters made for series.
>>
>>143369983
That would just make her more like Supergirl.
>>
>>143369782
with this costume? Yes. With any sort of redesign? No.
>>
>>143369856
She has angst of feeling like she cant measure up to Supermans legacy. Often lusted after by men and women over her looks. Has trust issues.
>>
>>143369782
>similar to how Edgerunners was handled
It would be a major flop. PG is extremely unsuited for that kind of story.

The only reason anyone gives a shit about PG is that she has big titties. Just look at how everyone instantly loses interest if they cover them up. Nobody (literally nobody) cares about the actual character. Luckily, the same is true for a lot of anime characters, so if they just make it a horny nonsense show instead of something edgy and depressing like Edgerunners, it'll probably work.
>>
Only if they made her a loli
>>
>>143370696
Give her a loli sidekick
>>
>>143369983
Miles is black, akward and nerdy and appeases young audiences for a new genration that see him has the next Peter Parker, Karen is a generic blonde uber white woman with no noticeable flaws other than her temper which won't detract her from her unrealistic coomer appeal

>>143370550
So everything Peeg isn't. This she's not porn parody no matter how much fans treat her as such.

>>143370602
She sounds boring entitled white female archetype being feminist as usual. Quirky and in your face females are in right now
>>
>>143370634
>so if they just make it a horny nonsense show

You might as well make a Poison Ivy or Maxima anime series.
>>
>>143370748
The in unuverse reason why she gas the boob window is because she foesn't feel worthy to wear the house of El symbol. She leaves it blank to distance herself from the Superman family.

Her whole deal is that she doesn't want to be seen as an extension of Superman and wants to be her own individual and hero, so her angsting over not measuring up to him or his legacy is counter-intuitive. She's assertive, confident and a bit brash but has a soft spot beneath that.
>>143370807
The second half is right
>>143370550
Hmm...not sure how to feel about that.
>Gore, sex, nudity
would probably have to be relegated to other characters.

THAT's not how it works:

A. First, Netflix has to want to get in bed with you. They OWN Goatlicker so they would likely first turn to him and say "You fucking Sad Money Suck, give us a a big titty sexy powered superhero we can build an anime type show around" - Sadly, Mark is an idiot and really has nothing like this in his wheel house.

B. So assuming Netflix wants to get in bed with you, then you need to be willing to whore yourself out. Zaslav is definitely willing to whore out EMPLOYEES who work under him but not really the valuable ones.

Since Gunn's working on Superwoman for theatrical, they aren't going to do PeeGee in any style for NF. They might do say a Star Sapphire Anime-Style space adventure pitch AND if NF would pay for enough licensing fees, you got a deal.

C. It could also be something else, but someone needs to want to pitch it (e.g. Cereal Lord could try to push an anime style Star Girl or Dini could want to push an anime style Zatanna Magic High School show.

>>143369782
Captain Marvel should have gotten an anime, its literally the plot of many the most popular shows in the last decade.
>>
>>143369782
What about WitchBlade?
Could that be successful?
>>
>>143369782
>>143370550
For Power Girl? No. It doesn't fit. There's lots of violence-centered characters that could fill that gap much better.
>>
>>143369782
A PG cartoon about her balancing life as a CEO and superheroine, living in Manhattan, dating, going on absurd adventures, sure that could be fun. Cram it with gore and dark themes like Edgerunners? Retarded.

Honestly Peeg probably missed her window pun not intended at her most interesting angle and now her best shot is a decently written action comedy but good fucking luck convincing anyone to give that shit a shot after She-Hulk and Harley Quinn.
The mutliversal orphan angle could've probably been a cool idea to play with but multiverses is played out.
>>
>>143373258
This sadly. Peeg reached her height in the 2000's with Pamiotti and Conner working on her. The character before then was largely hinged on her visuals of having big tits and the legend of Wally Wood inking her breasts bigger and bigger, so the one consistency she really had was to be drawn relatively bustier than other comic girls. In the 2000's, Johns, Conner, and Palmiotti got the ball rolling on really giving her an appealing personality and a place in the world. This culminated in her being enough of a fan favorite to get a book.
It basically was the 2000's version of Byrne's She-hulk, with more raunch and cute-lewd over sexy-lewd
Nowadays, Peeg's boobs aren't even considered big to zoomers who are desensitized to internet coom art. And the sort of irreverent, comedy superhero is common too. And it's lost all good will.
As time goes on, Peeg's 2000's career really feels like a freak occurrence driven by creators who elevated a C-lister through their genuine care for her.
>>
Just make it so every episode her boobs gets slightly bigger and bigger until the finale where it's just humongous but nobody bats an eye.
>>
>>143369782
Wrong character to use. Richard Dragon is more appropriate for Trigger's flashy artstyle.
>>
>>143373428
never heard THAT one before
>>
>>143369856
50% of every comic book/manga/ BD characters appeal is their design
PG has a cool design so she already half way there.
>>
>>143370879
>Her whole deal is that she doesn't want to be seen as an extension of Superman and wants to be her own individual and hero, so her angsting over not measuring up to him or his legacy is counter-intuitive.
I generally don't think about it but when phrased like this it's kind of a good point. They really want to have their cake and eat it too.
>>
>>143374724
As much as we jerk off to it PG's design really isn't cool. It's got a nice color balance but it's honestly kind of generic.
>>
>>143374771
Every time they change it they go back to the classic since it works so well.
>>
>>143369782
They would have to let Japan destroy her and rebuild her from the ground up to make her remotely interesting. They could do it, but it would be a matter of trust and acceptance. Trust the japs, and accept that the new Powergirl is what people are going to love.
>>
>>143374828
The changes being worse doesn't make her default look any less vanilla.

They already did that.

>The way to fix Power Girl is to just make her Supergirl's mother.
It's just crazy enough to work.
