Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Steve Loter will be hosting a Q&A!

So what is something you really want to see in future episodes of the series, whether character or episode plot?

Mine would be an Evil Counterpart to Lunella, a bratty Insufferable Genius who treats his own high intelligence as reason to conduct highly dangerous experiments for his sole benefit and (at best) talk down to others in the most nasty way imaginable. Basically, imagine a Corrupted Character Copy of Jimmy Neutron or Dexter.

I'm pretty sure we'll get that.

Okay, let’s get talking on this. Where did the portal send Lunella? Devil’s world? Devil Girl’s universe? The MCU? Another DTVA show?

Just figured out that writers probably gave Lunella's parents a skating rink so they can justify her having moves despite being a complete shut-in nerd who gets pummeled in dodgeball in every opening..

Honestly, in a way, she’s like a successor to Luz Noceda: a good hearted nerd with social issues who comes out of her shell over the series.

I found it very amusing that Disney Channel also premiered a new live-action kid series called Saturdays, which also centers around a roller rink. I doubt that show influenced Moon Girl due to the development time, but the coincidence is there.

And it helps flesh out her family side, which has a greater emphasis here compared to the original comic run.

And that's right, the final Season One episodes debut on D+ today. Have to find time to get on them.

So I wonder if any future story plans include How the Beyonder Stole Christmas.

New interview with the crew!

So help me, if this show actually turns out to be MCU-canon and Fishburne's Beyonder actually winds up being the main antagonist in Secret War, I will never stop laughing. In a good way. A "You fucking did it, you lunatics," sort of way.

Time will tell.

Even if this show isn’t in the same continuity, I now want Fishburne or another actor to play Beyonder as a wacky, vaguely sinister fair-folk black man in the MCU no matter what.

Like, even if Fishburne doesn’t do it. Call Keith David. He’s bafflingly never been in the MCU yet.

Seriously. Fishburne's Beyonder is perfect. Just the right level of charismatic charm and fucking omnipotent dick, with a comical flair that can get away with anything.

Fishburne's Beyonder could actually do the iconic "Spider-Man Teaches Beyonder to Poop" scene and it would be incredible. 10/10 One of the best moments in superhero media. Fishburne's that good in the role.

Anyone else think that Lunella is gonna have to do an Enemy Mine with Marius to survive wherever they wound up?

Seems likely. They wouldn't have fallen into the same portal if this was the last we were going to see of Marius. Not to mention he's lost his ring and she's without her gear, so they're both effectively depowered in a hostile eldritch reality.

Overall, I'm not expecting too much out of Lunella being lost in the multiverse. I figure we'll probably get a two-parter about Lunella and Marius escaping and/or being rescued by Mimi, Devil, and Casey, and then she'll be back home. If Lunella's multiversal adventures were meant to be a new status quo, she would have brought Devil and probably Casey with her.

Watching Ghost Rider right now. Wondering how this character would be handled on this show?

No doubt, they would use the Robbie Reyes version.

I think the most important thing to reflect on. Who agrees we need a slightly big Devil plush and a baby sized plus of him?

How would such a series work?

Prefferably R or MA-rated.

Pretty good finale but Devil fake-out death was resolved really cheaply. They didn't even show how he made it. So, shouldn't Lunella's dad be super-smart too?

@ Tobias Drake, you are probably right. If I had to guess multiverse adventure will serve as the way to introduce or at least foreshadow a new villain. That is assuming Marius dosen’t continue to be show’s Big Bad.

My choice would be overly edgy or as least serious ghost hunter.

Someone on the WMG page suggested Nextwave of all characters could appear. I have my doubts about it.

The series is getting an original graphic novel, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll!

Just in time for the debut of her original Disney TV show, Lunella Lafayette – aka the smartest person in the Marvel Universe – gets her own original graphic novel!
