They're making a preschool show out of a cult classic about someone who literally fought Nazis.

saving my judgement for the artstyle

Batman use to snap necks now they put him on baby bibs, who cares.

That's kind of a weird use of the premise.

I guess the closest we'll get to a modern Rocketeer series is the War of the Rocketmen proposal Semper will not get to make.

I mean it’s from one of the better writers of MLP so maybe it will be good.

I was gonna say "what like Atomic Betty?" but then I realized that Betty doesn't have a jetpack.

Gotta say, I'm all fired up.
But the again this can go anywhere.
I will reserve judgenent till I got a clear view, sir.

it's another cartoon with girl (also black) in lead how progressive

Could be fun. And it'd mean I could buy me nephew toys I'd know what it is from.

Don't buy your nephew girls' toys user.

>people being hyped for this

>Disney Junior

Guess we'll never see this scene...

I mean it COULD be ok? Speaking of The Rocketeer. I ordered the dvd a few days ago since I didn't own it.

she's actually bi-racial, trans and gay, get your facts right

Wait really? Could've sworn she flew around.

Got a copy of it at Wal-Mart for $5. I thought I owned it for the longest time.

No reason tiny black girl Rocketeer can't save Betty Page from gangster/nazis. Going to be a bitch lifting her over her shoulder, though.

>A show about some guy going around beating up Nazis.
>On a preschool kids block.

That's why it's a preschool cartoon. Nazis ain't real and never existed. It's pure fiction for babies.

>Set to debut in 2019, the new series takes Dave Stevens’ popular comic-book adventures and recasts them with Kit, a young girl who receives an incredible birthday surprise: a package that reveals she is next in line to become the legendary jet pack-toting champion the Rocketeer.

So wait does this still take place in the 1940's or decades later?

Put the Nazis in. I dare ya. I double dare ya.

shut up boco

>another IP where a white male protagonist get´s his gender and race swapped
no thanks

Aren't they about 20-25 ish years late to try cashing in on that movie with a cartoon?

Whites don't wanna fight the nazis anymore, because they now all identify with them instead.
And since the rocketeer fights the nazis, it gotta be a nonwhite.
That's just how it it is.

fuck off already with the extraordinary women shit, it's not magical girl but it's close enough
>make him a woman
this too

>Disney Junior to Make "Rocketeer" Series with Girl Lead
Why cant bob iger just get brain cancer and die already and stop ruining everything i hold dear from my childhood?

Fucking rip,Disney Jr. too,hopefully in a couple years they'll at least do something that isn't on the toddler channel.

If it doesn't take place in the 30s-40s and isn't pulpy as hell, why bother?

People here are actually excited about a preschool show for three year olds. No wonder this whole board is shit. Go watch anime if you're that thirsty for animation.

having anything related to MLP near rocketeer is already a bad sign no matter how 'good" they are

>Disney Jr.

>live action movie to go along with animated Kim Possible movie
>animated Rocketeer series to go along with live action _?_

what it could for unless...

Shuri becomes Iron Woman! Yass!

can she fight isis nazis ?

synergy

...

This

Maybe if it does well Disney will look into doing more with the IP.

Felt like they could have put this on Disney XD rather than Junior.

That said, if they change the helmet, I'm throwing a chair.

So does this mean they cancelled the movie that was supposed to star a literally who black woman?

I thought they were still doing the movie. Continuity-wise, this will likely take place after. But I'm still mad as fuck over it! I'm just going to enjoy what Stevens art work I have, the first movie, and let that be the end of it for me. Though if Commando Cody is in the public domain, I might be tempted to see if I can make my own Rocket-man shit.

Look who it is again, Boco. I'm fed up with your shit faggot. The other day when you called me a newfag, yeah, haven't forgotten about that yet. Fuck you I've been on here for months and probably get on here more than you anyways. Don't you know that you make yourself look like a newfag when you call others newfag? Just because you learned how to hack your name and change it to "boco" does not give you the right to disrespect anyone at any time

A simple "Shut up, Boco" usually does the trick. Newfag.

>girl power
>Disney Jr.

We better see some art of this cause the only good thing I can see from this is the porn

Oh fuck yes. I'll Erin Esurance the fuck out of it. I don't care if I have to draw the porn myself, they will RUE THE DAY, MOTHERFUCKERS!

It's on Disney Jr. How do we even know the protagonist isn't going to be 6 years old?

That just makes it better

>DVD

Speak up Boco

This thread sure is full of salty fags who I am willing to bet, have not given a single solitary shit about this IP but now they are going to argue about this change until they are blue in the face. Same shit that happened with other characters like Moon Girl and Snagglepuss. I say go for it since the IP was just sitting there and collecting dust anyhow.

Really have no quarter with the idea, but the red flag is the lack of an art style being presented. Modern cartoons aren't the most promising in that regard. Much less whatever changes they made to update the suit or helmet if one is even included since aiming for little girls means making the costume not look scary and sell a lot of toys.

Eh, I am not saying that the show is going to be an instant classic. I am just saying there are anons who are crying about things that shouldn't really matter, you know what I mean by that, especially if the premise is that she is a legacy character. I have no problems with them just picking up what is basically a dead IP and trying to breathe new life into it.

We couldn't just get a regular Rocketeer series, right?

Well if you mean a show about punching Nazis, well I would like that too but you know it would cause a political shitstorm. I mean look at how people took that Wolfenstein reboot and they were pissed off that Hitler was portrayed in a negative light.

Well there's always that crowdfunded Rocketmen project by the FOX Spider-Man crew.

As someone who loves the Rocketeer, it would never have gotten a regular series. What little there is of source material is great and could be adopted, but it's not like they have 100s of issues to pull from. It's a series about a pulp hero and it would be easy to sell to kids, but it would never be what the comic was.

Why not just buy the rights to this comic for fuck's sake? It wouldn't be that expensive and fits better.

Damn. It is gonna be somehow worse than I thought

Bitch, the Rocketeer movie was my introduction to superheroes, and I ate up the Dave Stevens comics when I fist found out about them, it's always held a special place in my heart. If they're not going to respect the source material then I'd rather this dead IP stay dead.
