Put the Kool-Aid Man in the MCU, You Cowards
This week, we’re getting a brand new Marvel movie, Thunderbolts*, which features a lineup of badass superheroes including Bucky Barnes, Taskmaster, Red Guardian, whomever Florence Pugh plays and “Ghost.”
Sure, Marvel has a Fantastic Four movie coming out later this year, and presumably they’ll reboot X-Men at some point, but the studio does seem to be running out of characters that general audiences are already familiar with. If only there was a Marvel comics character with mass appeal that has yet to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Oh wait, there is. This guy:
Yes, the Kool-Aid Man was once the star of his very own comic book, which was published by Marvel back in the 1980s, presumably thanks to that heady combo of late-stage capitalism and round-the-clock cocaine consumption.
The Kool-Aid Man has been on a lot of people’s minds lately thanks to Seth Rogen’s series The Studio.
