20 Marvel and Disney characters who deserve their own Disney Plus shorts
By Mark Lynch
20. Baby Yoda
Of course Grogu has to be on this list. He’s the only character that rivals Groot in terms of cuteness. He also has an incredible set of powers like Groot. However, Grogu’s abilities are probably superior.
With Grogu leaving with a young Luke Skywalker in the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, there must have been lessons he learned. There had to have been shenanigans too. A series of shorts following Baby Yoda could be exactly like I Am Groot, except it would be more serious.
Don’t be surprised if Disney or Lucasfilm announce shorts focused on the beloved character soon.
19. Mystique
Raven Darkholme has been ruining people’s lives for decades. Royalty, politicians, and every day people have all been her victims. Sometimes it’s for money and other times it’s for fun. Mystique may be evil incarnate, but she’s also incredible at it.
Fans need to be reminded of what Mystique is capable of. Her last few appearances in the X-Men movies may have ruined what the casual fan thinks of her. Watching her away from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the X-Men is a good start. If you need a reference, check out Mystique by Brian K. Vaughn. It’s a perfect reference, and it could make for a perfect series of shorts.
18. Mos Eisley Cantina
Star Wars fans know the Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars: A New Hope. The music playing is easily recognizable and it’s where Han Solo Shot first (it’s true). If Han was there, what other dastardly and infamous criminals go there?
Is this where most illegal activities get planned on this planet or is it just a coincidence? Either way, stories in bars are always enjoyable. Bars in space have to be even more interesting. The shorts from Mos Eisley Cantina could be fun, deadly, or just plain silly.
