Disney + Marvel Studios Wonder-Man
 

Do we want this? What is this?

He was an early and frequent presence in the Avengers comics but… not much of a lead character.

In the comics he was an actor and stunt performer, He was also in the West Coast Avengers.

Still happening.

Who asked for this? Who wanted this?

Kevin Feige, I would assume and most likely only him.

They shelved Nova but let this get greenlit:roll:

It's the last one that got in at the buzzer of Feige cleaning house.

Yeah I don’t get it lol.

The only amusing thing was the old movie footage looked exactly like the Turboman show from Jingle All The Way. But they’re lampooning the same era of cape-sh*t, so I doubt that was intentional.

Since that was a teaser, Here's the official trailer.

This looks so ****ing boring Jesus

So... ah, it's out. All of it.

Huh... Seems like nobody is talking about it. Is this the first time one of these Disney+ Marvel shows aren't just met with distaste or even indifference, but just straight up doesn't catch anyone's attention?

I believe you're correct. I haven't seen even one iota of comments about it, from anybody. Even the ones who sung the praises of stuff like Ironheart.

Even the freaks over at r/marvelstudios are being relatively quiet.

I actually skimmed over the final episode just for "fun." The show doesn't seem offensively bad or anything, or corny, or containing identity politics or gay stuff or any of that (probably why it isn't the darling of any critics)... but it doesn't seem like it has much else either? There wasn't really any kind of battle or anything in the last episode. It was just

And now you finally understand why these things happen, it's not some big conspiracy but people talk about it. Whether good or bad, people talk about the show, make videos, share the rage bait. Marketing.

More woke $#!( whether you goofballs want to admit it or not. :lol:

:teek:

It's gonna fail.

It's getting some pretty good reviews even from some of the "Everything MCU/Disney sucks and is woke"crowd but doesn't seem to be making huge waves which I would largely put down to it being about...Wonder Man. Not a bad character by any means but a lot of the interesting stuff about you can't really adapt in the MCU so you're just left with a fun story about a minor Avenger who is a Hollywood action hero that becomes the real thing. Sounds fun but not something I imagine many people will be rushing to see. More of a "eh I'll get round to it".

Probably, but then everyone (including me) believed Iron Heart would fail and it ended up doing over twice the numbers of Daredevil: Born Again so you never can predict these things.

I don't believe that for a second. Maybe in terms of initial viewings on release, not cumulative (i.e., a bunch of people tuned into Ironheart initially then stopped while Born Again had a rocky start but people stuck through and decent word of mouth brought in more). And Disney+ doesn't even release those figures, anyway.

Agreed no way ironheart did better than daredevil

Well this is surprising.

I accepted that I’m done being a MCU completionist a long time ago, but I still get a little bummed every time they announce a project that I know I’m not going to watch.

I might watch Wonder Man, eventually. Definitely not excited about it. But it also doesn't strike me as offensively bad or anything either.

Nevermind! It is un-renewed and officially cancelled.

Should never have been made in the first place :lol:

Good. Considering Daredevil Season 3 (or rather 6) is also probably going to be the end of that show too I wonder if Marvel TV series are coming to an end.

I will say at the 90's Wonder Man book that lasted about 25 or so issues was really fun and well drawn too.

That series made me a fan of the character.

With THOSE writers it might as well be. They're just hiring whoever and letting them do empty-headed hacktivist stuff and wondering why everyone is turning away in droves.

There's still that Visionquest show coming in December, but other than that and Daredevil's (final) season, I think that's pretty much it for Marvel TV shows? I don't think they ever announced any new ones.
