It's been said that Howard was supposed to be a parody of "kid friendly animal cartoon characters", so why not flesh that aspect out?

The shitty quality of those movies (Yes I'm including TMNT already because it looks mediocre and it has no indication of exceeding those expectations) can be blamed more on the incompetency of their producers, writers, and directors. People fucking love Rocket Raccoon, and he has an even more realistic depiction than all of those besides Transformers perhaps.

Besides that fact, while he was originally created to parody those things, cute kid-friendly cartoon characters have become increasingly irrelevant over the years, only mainstays like Mickey Mouse continuing to be well-known while most movies have shifted away from that or relied on bringing back characters who are also rendered irrelevant by not updating anything but their depiction in CGI instead of 2D animation. That said, Howard would probably work better if he served as a parody of fully CGI characters in the film industry in general such as Jar Jar Binks or, well, Rocket Raccoon, if he had to use such an angle at all and not just be a clever wise-cracking duck man.

A stand alone movie would be interesting I think, but they'd have to be careful not to make it like the other retro-comeback cartoon character films (Which I don't doubt Marvel will avoid with their track record).

Oh yeah, airing on Nicktoons.

Don't they realize that Disney XD and Nictoons are pretty much insta-death for any new programming? I mean I'm kind of surprised at how long Dragonball Kai of survived, but then again, it's Dragonball we're talking about here

They're also putting the new Star Wars cartoon on XD, which is disappointing when they could have done like ABC or something maybe.
