Meet Marvel’s Coolest Heroes: A Teen Scientist and Her Pet T. Rex
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is sweet, smart, and actually funny.
About 50 Moon Girl comics were published before the series wrapped in 2019 with audiences falling in love not just with the hero’s whip-smart intellect and supercool gadgets but also with the realistically diverse and intriguing world that Montclare, Reeder, and Bustos created for her to inhabit. It’s great.” There’s something inherently charming about the comic and Pop Art–style animation, which has notes of Into the Spider-Verse without becoming a direct copy, and I love the way the show cloaks its action sequences in more of a primary-colored veil, making the whiz-bang punches and kicks not only speed by but also seem less overwhelmingly scary for your more sensitive tykes. In season two, there’s an episode in which Lunella ventures out into the desert to meet her grandma’s two best friends, Merle and Matsuye, and the trio of older women are written with such wit, vitality, and superintelligence that it calls into question basically every onscreen portrayal of senior citizens, save maybe The Golden Girls.
