Could be cool.

[Randall]

This concept seems tailor-made for a cartoon show.

It was originally an old Silver-Age Jack Kirby character, when Devil Dinosaur teamed up with cave-boy Moon Boy:

[Randall]

Just to clarify, that would actually be from what is known as comics' Bronze Age, coming from 1978. (The Silver Age stretches to maybe 1970 at the latest.) It was a pretty loopy series, but I like it.

The newer series, where they changed Moon Boy to a girl, gives added crossover appeal.

[gaastra]

Mon boy didn't turn into moon girl. They are not the same in fact moon boy teams up with moon girl in the comics.

Also Laurence Fishburne as The Beyonder is not what i was expecting from this series!

[Randall]

Sigh. Yes, I realize they are different characters. I shall re-phrase:

They changed Devil Dinosaur's companion from Moon Boy to Moon Girl.

Of course--In the wonderful backyard-circus world of Made-for-streaming, you can pretend you're a hit show, and the crowds are cheering!

[Daniel]

It's not a streaming exclusive, though...

It's a disney channel and disney XD show.
