The 21st Century Valiant Universe In Five Seasons, Season 4: Delinquents

1/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Valiant Comics was a small comic book press founded by one of the most hated editors in the history of Marvel comics, Jim Shooter. After a successful run in the 90s, it eventually shut down when its parent company,  Acclaim, restructured. Not everybody has DC’s Time Warner money or Marvel’s Disney backing.

In 2012, Valiant started relaunching series, and about a year ago, they revealed that they were going to create a movie universe modeled after Marvel’s successful cinematic universe.

Here’s how I would structure a TV series that handled their properties, should they have gone the television route, as opposed to the movie-verse. I’m only doing ten episode seasons, without the serial approach that I’ve done with the DC and Marvel properties because most of what’s available in trade format is their modern stuff, and that goes back almost four years, as opposed to DC & Marvel’s nearly 80 years apiece.

​Season 3 was super serious constant crossover, so let’s pick up season 4 in a ridiculous fashion, Meet Quantum and his brother, Woody.

If the Henderson brothers don’t clang wrists every 24 hours, they’ll die, so now they have to spend as much time as possible with each other just to survive. The goat, the hot tub, and the clone girlfriend are just superfluous fun.
