Wonder Man

sooooo we’re getting these two lovers in every project from now on right?

So boring, why is this a marvel property? This was like 5% Marvel related. Really reaching at the bottom of the barrel pulling this property out of the woodworks. Can someone please explain to me what his power set and back story was? Because they sure did not explain that at all

Watched on Disney+ • Rating: 8/10 ⭐️

I expected another cookie-cutter CGI fest, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a sharp buddy comedy that actually pokes fun at Hollywood rather than worshipping it.

The Director’s Eye:
Finally, a Marvel show filmed on location! Real LA streets beat green screens any day. The chemistry between Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley is the heartbeat here. Kingsley’s character seeking redemption to make his mom proud? That hit me. It’s a story about second chances. As a conservative, I thoroughly enjoyed watching them roast the egos and bureaucracy of the entertainment industry.

The Cuts:
It starts slow, setting up "meta" jokes that might fly over your head if you don't follow movie news. And honestly, superhero fatigue is still a factor here.

Verdict:
A refreshing change of pace that values friendship over "saving the world." Solid for adults, though a bit too "inside baseball" for kids.

Favorite Line: "I am an actor. The truth is merely a suggestion."

Honestly such a fun and unique concept, I wasn't execting much from this show but I was pretty surprised by how good it was.

Such a breath of fresh air for marvel, I’ve enjoyed most things from the multiverse saga but this was one of my favorites! The script and story were so enjoyable and it was a treat watching Simon’s and Trevor’s relationship grow 5/5

Pretty cool. Nothin crazy
