r/thetick

The most recent adaption had the longest run out of all 3 (three years, as opposed to the cartoon's two years and the sitcom's nine episodes). The main reason it was cancelled seems to be the budget, so if they hadn't spent it on CGI:ing away the seams on the suit, we might have gotten a 3rd season.

James Gunn has proved that light-hearted superhero movies can be wildly successful if they're original and if they have heart. So, given the cult status of the franchise, we'll probably see The Tick return eventually. The question is when and in what form?

* Will it be live-action or perhaps animated?
* Will it be a continuation of the 2016 series or a reboot?
* What would the tone be? Even more serious than last time or more light-hearted? More grounded but still comedic like the 2001 version? Darker but with goofy characters like Chairface and Multiple Santa?
* Are we finally getting a feature-length movie?
* Perhaps a No Way Home-style, Serafinowicz/Warburton cross-over?

Personally, my money is on either an animated reboot or comic book tie-in that continues the story from the Amazon series (because those are cheaper to produce than live-action adaptions) or possibly even a video game with direct involvement from Ben Edlund (unlike the old one).

He is obviously still passionate about the franchise after 30 years, so it's not impossible that he'll convince someone to make a mini-series or direct-to-streaming movie.

Whatch'all think? Anyone heard any rumors? Any thoughts at all?

Summer makes me think of The Flamingo, and The Comet Club. #Miami

Just a thought I had the other day for what another adaptation of The Tick could be, what if it was basically a superhero game that satirizes the Spider-Man games and the Arkham series...with the Tick still being the screwball he always is.

What do you think, does the idea have potential?
