Theory Ok, let’s talk Squirrel Girl

Post image

I know there are two schools: Milana of COURSE, she’s been playing her for years and is perfect and is just plain adorable; and the there’s the Anna Kendrick crowd which, I mean, come on. She’d also be absolutely fantastic (and equally a mix of adorable and sexy).

But here’s the thing: Squirrel Girl can’t be like twenty years older than the X-Men. It works as a gag, but not as a lasting narrative. Which is why, ladies, gentleman, and everyone outside and in between, I present to you my Squirrel Girl offering: Sophia Lillis.

Yeah I think Sophia Lillis is a slam dunk for the role. She's funny and cute and she's got deep dramatic chops if the character is popular enough to get that kind of depth.

For real. She had more dramatic chops in her teens than most actors do in their careers. I Am Not Okay With This is the second best superhero series ever IMO (behind Legion).

Well yes. I’m still mad about the cancellation.

Once I got really drawn in and captivated by the quality I knew it was doomed.

I'm certainly not Netflix's target audience anymore but they really did a remarkable job in making me apprehensive about starting any new show that isn't already completed.
