>During Marvel's own TCA event, Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb spoke about one series that isn't on a network that Marvel's worked with in the past (like ABC or Netflix). Surprisingly, "Cloak and Dagger" was greenlit by Freeform in April, expanding Marvel's potential reach to another network.
>“It’s a love story that happens to have characters that have always traditionally been in that age group,” said Loeb, as reported by SlashFilm. “It’s not like we took something and made it into a YA. It speaks to a YA audience and is a YA property. Would I do 'Punisher' on Freeform? I don’t think that’s going to connect the same way.”
>"Cloak and Dagger" will center on Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, teenagers from different backgrounds who grapple with newly acquired superpowers -- Tandy can emit daggers of light, while Tyrone can engulf others in darkness -- even as they fall in love.
Does this mean Tandy and Ty will finally hook up in the comics, because of synergy?
Hudson Bailey
>Cloak and Dagger have been teen for over thirty years
Even Danny aged 14 years from his first appearance. Aren't they early twenties, now?
Nathaniel Adams
They hooked up in ultimate marvel
Jaxson Martinez
>YA Love Story literally the worst possible genre
Dylan Wilson
burn it down brother and sister is best version of them
John Murphy
this thing is still happening? I thought it was just a fantasy or some shit like it.
Jaxson Ross
>CW >Young Adult romance
People are surprised by this? That's what the channel was founded on.
Jeremiah Powell
I'm ok with that and I don't see what the big deal is.
They're completely right. Cloak and Dagger is the perfect comic book property to make into a YA love story. Especially one that also heavily touches upon drug abuse/addiction.
Cloak and Dagger was essentially made to be everything that Sup Forums hates.
Juan Robinson
It's not on CW
Christopher Richardson
Its freeform
Easton White
Literately Tumblr: the channel
Benjamin Anderson
the CW isn't any better
Adam Foster
I have literally never heard about that channel, what else is on it?
Alexander Wright
Is that supposed to be ABC Family or something?
Hunter Powell
The moment I saw that it was on Freeform I knew that this was going to happen. For the unaware: Freeform is basically the new CW, or at least what the CW used to be. Basically made up of teen dramas and reruns of Harry Potter movies.
Brandon Brown
Shadowhunters
Dylan Howard
Pretty Little Liars, Switched at Birth, The Fosters, Stitchers, Shadowhunters. It used to be ABC Family and then they changed their name this year.
Pretty much. Freeform is basically a part of the "teen trio" with MTV and CW (the latter IS miles ahead of both now, but it's still mostly oriented to a teen/female audience).
Cameron Lopez
Couldn't care less. Cloak and Dagger was never that great anyway, at least this way they'll guarantee themselves an audience.
Isaiah Campbell
Of course Marvel would just be one big cucked up shithole. Jeph Loeb really knows what he's doing.
Michael Wilson
>Matt Murdock can only kiss the girl >Iron Man is divorced >Thors girlfriend doesn't wanna do Marvel anymore >Hulks is gone >Captain Americas is dead
Meanwhile Luke Cage (Black) is fucking the shit out of Jessica Jones (White). Black Panther (Black) is pounding Black Widow (White).
And now this.
Carson Peterson
are you triggered you fucking faggot?
Chase Price
All you had to say was that it's ABC Family with a different name
Wyatt Long
>Luke Cage (Black) is fucking the shit out of Jessica Jones (White). Ritter is Jewish faggot
>Black Panther (Black) is pounding Black Widow (White). This did not happen
Caleb Johnson
>replying to a tripfag oh man, come on...
Daniel Ramirez
This bait is getting pretty stale, go back to Sup Forums, i'm sure they'll bite.
Aaron Cook
two newfags already bit tho.
Landon Brooks
Maybe their powers somehow fuck with their aging.
James Torres
Rooney was trying to do company wars shit when DC does the same "cuck" shit
Tyler Parker
Widows only got eyes for the lean green hulking string-bean peen.
Angel Young
It's going to air on freeform so it might as well be.
Cameron Russell
Yes, they renamed to Freeform.
Austin Russell
his name is literally tyrone
holy kek
Angel Price
marvel and disney love this shit.
Justin Rodriguez
Seriously? Even after Matt got to bang that hispanic nurse and fucked Electra a bunch of times. Isn't Thor going with raceswaped Valkyrie? Don't forget about black Liz Allen. Are these examples going to be ignored in every thread? I mean you made up that last example.
Ian Robinson
why would they bring that up it doesn't fit their "cuck" narrative
Camden Sanders
tripfag you know you cant bait with your trip on right? Fucking idiot
Aaron Lopez
Bullshit, she is fucking slut and 90% of her character is about whos cock she wants now, in every single movie she appears.
Jace Ramirez
>Even after Matt got to bang that hispanic nurse and fucked Electra a bunch of times. Isn't Thor going with raceswaped Valkyrie? Don't forget about black Liz Allen.
so you're saying that marvel also likes to White male and minority female interracial relationships, too?
Dominic Richardson
yup but Sup Forums doesn't bitch about that
Isaac Sullivan
Freeform casts cuties
Jace Bennett
JEWS ARE WHITE. WAKE UP.
Aiden Sanchez
Dagger better be sexy
Dylan Martinez
Freeform female leads are usually sexy so I don't expect anything less with Tandy
Samuel Martinez
>YA Love Story dropped
Adrian Brown
This actually sounds like the best way to go about Cloak & Dagger in my opinion. Doesn't mean I'll enjoy it, but then again I also don't really give a fuck about Cloak & Dagger anyway and I understand that certain characters aren't for me.
Nicholas Fisher
Holy shit. You really bought into the whole "cuckservative" meme hook, line, and sinker didn't you?
Sebastian Allen
>Don't forget about black Liz Allen. >Liz Allen
How can someone fuck this up so FUCKING much?!
Xavier Robinson
Yes
Jayden Hill
Pretty sure he's talking about Spectacular Spider-Man but she was hispanic not black. Unless she's black in the new movie.
Not sure why you would think he meant Flash when he was talking about Marvel stuff
Brayden Martinez
Is it true that Sup Forums had a nigger mod that has turned this place into a tumblr hug box?
NIGGERS RUIN EVERYTHING...
Dylan Butler
Soon it won't even have Harry Potter marathons, their contract ends in like 2 years and I'm pretty most of their revenue came from those constant marathons.
Juan Scott
What if Cloak and Dagger becomes a lead-in to a Runaways series? Or is Marvel still pretending that they're making the movie?
Ethan Lee
Runaways is never happening
Gavin Hughes
Aparently the dinosaur makes everyone nervous because of the cost.
Carson Peterson
Not necessarily. It would have happened regardless.
Luke Adams
...
Christian Torres
DEAD ON ARRIVAL E A D
O N
A R R I V A L
Kevin Brown
Freeform is a different beast entirely You have no idea how weird their fandoms are Shadowhunters and Stitchers fans are crazy the channel literately is baptized by Tumblr
Jace Lee
>ABC Family thinks it can hide from its stigma by rebranding I'll bet you not even Agents of Shield will reference this show.
Dylan Hall
It was never a love story. They were always best buds that somehow never mutated into any cliche. But I guess executives saw white girl/black guy and assumed another they fug. There's probably a quota for black dudes banging white chicks so now it'll be that instead of what was a rather unique duo dynamic (lol). I'm pretty sure there's a lot of blacks rather tired of the mandingo trope, and race-swapped characters to fill a diversity quota (which doesn't ease racial tension or help minorities). Also, putting a used costume on a minority to say "look! ****Man is a black guy now. Hey SJW crowd, buy this for great justice!" feels like affirmative action. How about taking the effort to create an original character thats not white and make it awesome without another's legacy as a crutch. Goddamn I hate media.
Easton Lewis
just like the Netflix shows
AoS is the only canon one
Jace Bell
AoS referenced Daredevil in a news report.
Gavin Williams
Specifically Punisher tearing up Hell's Kitchen during the introduction to the Anti-Mutant Liber... err, the "Watch Dogs" and their hate of the Inhumans. But if you notice the newspapers often enough at the newspaper in Daredevil, they often reference MCU events and AoS specific storylines as well. Cybertek (Deathlok) was one of them for being on trial.
Easton Evans
thats not a bad thing
Jacob Jackson
AoS is confirmed not canon.
Carson Cooper
Quite the opposite actually
Charles King
I've never heard of any of those shows, except for Pretty Little Liars.
Isaiah Ward
I watch this because Kat a cute.
Ryder Thompson
Watch Dogs are reference to Watch Dogs from Captain America.
Literally Age of Ultron references to AoS.
Ryan Jenkins
they're full on adults in Runaways and Spider-Island
