Also, let's just remember that Tropes are not bad. Tropes are tools that can be used well or used poorly, but the mere fact that a work is filled with tropes does not make it bad. EVERYTHING uses tropes, that's kinda the point, we notice them because they are used frequently. But that doesn't mean you can't use them without being original, it's all in the telling.
and that's bad because....?
And you realize the same could have been said about Ms Marvel before it came out, and it's doing just fine. There is a chance the book could fail, there is the chance ANYTHING could fail, I've seen books that seemed to have a surefire audience built in just flop horribly, and I've seen quirky offbeat books succeed. You never know unless you try, and there is nothing wrong with Marvel trying to expand their audience.Ms.Marvel was a pleasant surprise and i can admit it is a pretty fun book however Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur just comes off as something that would be a better fit outside marvel since more likely than not this will just be one of those strange books where it exists in it's own little world and doesn't really reference much of anything acting like An Indie Book Published At Marvel resulting in it's cancellation
I have a niece, 10 years old, who is dyslexic. She has a lot of trouble reading, so I got her some comics, including Ms. Marvel (a little old for her maybe but...) hoping that having the text broken up into word balloons with pictures to give context would help. And she LOVED them and it helped her reading, I don't care how expensive it is, having her enjoy reading is a big deal and something to be encouraged. So having more age appropriate books for her coming out that I can get for her is a huge selling point for me. I will be getting her Squirrel Girl for Christmas this year and will get her Moon Girl next year when the trade comes out.
Her favorite character from the Avengers movies is Hulk, so I have my fingers crossed Totally Awesome Hulk will be good for her, as well, since up till now I have had huge trouble finding age appropriate Hulk stuff.
Nextwave was never supposed to be canon, initially. But then some writers took parts of it and made it canon, so it's in this weird gray area canon wise.
given marvel's recent animated shows....yes
and really since Devil Dinosaur's creation has been rumored to be linked to a cartoon that was never made it's possible that the same is applied here except this time marvel has the disney machine backing them up on such an animated venture
So despite these series being popular your opinion means more and we should all ignore facts and just follow your speculations..... about a series that isnt out yet despite you clearly being in the minority here in seing the potientel in a series like this........ So in other words just like the severel treads you made to complain about all new avengers this is the thing you are going to naysay this week. Good to know.
i didn't realize Devil Dinosaur was such A CBR Favorite

It's not that so much that as it's your main objection seems to be that you think the only reason Marvel's publishing this book is to make money. And the thing is...
A) Of course they are, that's what they do
B) For decades Marvel's published comics that were obviously cash ins, trend-mongering, or spin-offs...so why is this title so much worse?
C) What's so terrible about making money by expanding your audience? Why is it so bad selling comics to kids?
I fail to see how anyone can complain about a comic series starring a red tyrannosaurus.
"I should describe my known nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and disassociated groups; a) love of the strange and the fantastic, b) love of abstract truth and scientific logic, c) love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these strains will probably account for my...odd tastes, and eccentricities."
