Daughters Of The Dragon: 8 Reasons Why It Should Be Netflix's Next Marvel Series
2. It Would Have A Buddy Cop Feel About It
Marvel Comics
The benefit of having a show centre around a specific pairing is that it exists in a space between a solo series, anchored by a main character and a cast of supporting allies and villains, and a team-based one. In fact, it forces a different dynamic altogether - one that more closely resembles a buddy cop drama than a typical superhero story.
Colleen and Misty are good friends off the screen, and, given their private detective work, it would make sense for that sort of Shane Black-feel to translate well to the MCU's Netflix contingent.
Of course, Colleen and Misty wouldn't be the only characters involved in a Dragon series, with cameos from other Marvel characters a given in any MCU project, but placing the focus on those two specifically would ensure that the series offers something fundamentally unique and different to other comic book programs.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
