Four superhero <em>kids</em> with fun powers could make a for a fun kids show and all kinds of "even kids can make a difference" life lesson stuff. That said...this sounds like a kind of awful version of the comic and at the time at least probably would have been better to do as an animated show. Nowadays maybe effects and budgets could handle it live-action, but in the 90s, before the "holy crap, Marvel makes awesome movies, let's throw money at them" days, this just wasn't likely to work. Power Pack could be something Marvel could try to toss out as a kids' show today, though. Now that they know what the heck they're doing, it might work.<br /><br />But really? A ghost? Huh. Not what I would have picked. Maybe do something at least remotely related to aliens, given that's where the kids' powers come from (and that a fight with aliens who kidnapped their parents is the first plot of the comics, I think). Shouldn't the pilot episode have at least some bearing on the main plot your show will have, if any? I mean, I recognize that some pilots don't end up being used as the actual first episode, but a random ghost just seems kind of out there.<br /><br />Thank you for not giving this to me. I don't know if Generation X is going to be much better, but...thank you for not giving this to me. O_ORobert Mohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06743186445657692368noreply@blogger.com
