I've been thinking of starting a thread like this for a while now. This topic is to discuss any and all show pitches and concepts for Marvel animation that were never picked up. Likewise, any scripts, designs, story ideas or scenes that were cut off due to various reasons from past Marvel cartoons can be added here, preferably when they are shared by people who actually worked on the projects. Throughout the years, designs and pages from Season 2 scripts of Wolverine & the X-Men, and even plans for a scrapped "Ultimate X-Men Vs. Avengers" animated movie have surfaced online. Both are good examples of what can be discussed here.
To start things off, while this is already a few months old, here is a pitch for a "Captain Marvel" animated series by Ben Bates.

NOTES:
- The current shows, and a few of the more recently ended ones, still have their specific News & Discussion threads to discuss stuff like this. This thread is more about older shows, or shows that were never picked up. While it's perfectly fine to bring up dropped story ideas from current shows here, it would be better suited for the show's actual News & Discussion thread.
- Keep in mind this is for actual projects from people involved in the animation industry, and not a thread where you can pitch your own ideas for cartoons. There are other topics where you can do that, so please refrain from adding your own ideas here.
- Additionally, please keep discussion here civilized, and on-topic. Don't confront each other for having different opinions regarding the shows. And please do not use this thread to spam more petitions asking for shows to be renewed. Thank you.

Before I knew a movie was coming out I developed a series idea for Captain Marvel. The concept was to do the first board driven Marvel cartoon and after approaching the Big Boss at Marvel Animation with the idea he asked for an animatic to act as proof of concept. I wrote, drew, and hired voice actors to create what you see here. This is the "rough" version of the animatic. A completed version to understand the full story that, had the pitch been successful, I would have cleaned up the drawings to make it prettier looking. Unfortunately Marvel was uninterested in receiving ANY pitches and no one ever even saw this animatic haha.
