This post will continue The Panel Biter's Top 5 Wanted Marvel Netflix Series. So if you feel out-of-place, you might benefit from reading Part One. And now, we'll be proceeding with The Panel Biter's Top 5 Wanted Marvel Netflix Series.
#2: Damage Control
Marvel has their Fantasy movies, their sci-fi movies, their spy movies, but what don't they have? Well, Sitcoms of course! In the Marvel Comics Universe, Damage Patrol is a construction agency employed to clean-up collateral damage caused by superhero/super villain battles. It features a diverse cast of everyday people usually running into famous Marvel characters, sometimes getting in disputes or working together Damage Control is funded by both Tony Stark and Wilson Fisk, two characters who have appeared in the MCU. I imagine the show would be a cross between "The Office" and one of those home-makeover shows. Episodes could revolve around Damage Control cleaning up messes left after the Marvel movies. For example: Remember those whale-like aliens in "The Avengers"? Where did they go after that movie? Maybe Damage Control blew them up with dynamite and mopped up the guts? Maybe Damage Control used a set of carrier helicopters to lift the aliens out of New York and dump them in the ocean? A show about these guys would just be a nice little expansion of the Marvel Universe that'd make it feel more lived-in and cohesive.
#1: The Punisher
The basic appeal of Marvel's upcoming Daredevil show seems to the show's grittier attitude and darker view of the MCU. It shows the kind of crime and evil Captain America and Iron Man are too busy to fix, so citizens like Matt Murdock have to risk their lives protecting the little people. Daredevil will represent the dark settings of the MCU, but The Punisher could represent the dark psychology of the MCU. I've mentioned The Punisher is unlike any other Marvel character, being almost as morally unhinged as the villains he fights. The reason why The Punisher would work on Netflix is because Netflix programs aren't limited to the kind of censorship television is, bolder violence, stronger vulgarity, and mature themes would separate The Punisher from everything else. He'd be like Marvel's heroic "Dexter". The Punisher's origins, stories, and crossovers are loaded with entertainment that could be targeted towards hardcore viewers. More so, with the kind of guy Frank Castle is, one could see him appearing in "Agents of Shield" or "Daredevil" as an enemy before spinning off into his own series. Just please, please, don't turn him into Frankenstein again. Seriously, what is Marvel's obsession with weird Punisher stories!?
I hope you liked this list, there's no doubt Marvel has some neat ideas up their sleeves so I'm sure we'll see these characters at some point. If you have a Marvel character you want to see on Netflix, leave a comment! Between Marvel's planned shows and that rumored "Legend of Zelda" show, I'll defiantly be investing some cash into this television program. And with that shameless plug, thanks for reading!
