I absolutely love the marketing for this one lol

CommunityDragon1842026-01-09 22:09

Love the marketing but hate the release schedule

adsfew2026-01-09 22:11

Absolutely prefer weekly release over binge-dumps. Great tagline though.

glasgowgeg2026-01-10 00:02

>Absolutely prefer weekly release over binge-dumps

Nobody's stopping you waiting a week between each episode if you want.

-MS-94-2026-01-10 00:08

I'll spoil the entire season for them a day in. I'll stop them from watching the show at all.

L1NOH2026-01-10 00:29

Nobody’s stopping you from waiting till all the episodes are out and binging them either. Except this way doesn’t spoil the entire show on day one for people who don’t have time to binge a show for 9 hours straight. It also kills the hype of the show to be all done in a day, no discussions or theories between each episode

pmjm2026-01-10 01:18

For all Marvel and Star Wars shows, I wait til all the episodes are out and binge them. Let me tell you, it's impossible to avoid spoilers. Even the headlines that show up in your Google News feed contain spoilers. I got one yesterday for Fallout S2.

cellidore2026-01-11 00:09

I’ve not seen Loki season two or any of Andor yet. Not seen a single spoiler for either of those yet. It’s not that hard. Granted, I don’t use google news. But you could just, not, of it spoils shows for you.

pmjm2026-01-11 00:17

Unfortunately I need it for work. Both Loki and Andor were spoiled for me, but it's not all Google News. Reddit does it too.

m8_is_me2026-01-10 03:14

Yup, it turns enjoyment into homework.

DJanomaly2026-01-10 05:53

It’s the no discussions that kills it.

kirblar2026-01-10 18:57

Yup. Look at Heated Rivalry. Would have died on Netflix.

Netflix's only big successes aren't TV shows, they're mini-series dressed up as TV shows. (SG, ST, etc.)

Markus28222026-01-10 18:40

Waiting being the key word here.

Here’s the difference:

When released all at once at the start of release anyone can watch all the episodes or wait and watch them weekly.

Both sides can do what they want.

When released once per week at the start of release anyone can watch them weekly, nobody can watch all the episodes at once.

Only the people who want a weekly release can do what they want, otherwise they get sidelined and get worse treatment because they have to wait to get what they want.

One is objectively better for both types of people, giving more options.

L1NOH2026-01-10 20:37

I disagree, one is obviously more annoying to more people and for more reasons

Binge dump:

1. People can get spoiled (not just by people but anywhere, even news headlines)

2. There’s less appreciation for each episode, no discussing theories for the next one, etc. You may not like it but plenty of people do

3. It creates a sense of urgency to watch it all at once JUST to avoid spoilers, which makes it more like checking boxes and “homework” as someone else said

4. The creators spend years working on something that is in the news and talked about for a day, maybe a week. Again, as I’ve seen someone else say, if you were a creator you’d want a weekly release

Weekly:

1. Some people have to wait?

And I say “have to” but you obviously don’t, it’s something you’re choosing to do for some reason when you can obviously watch the show with everyone else

Markus28222026-01-11 07:03

For the record I don’t think this is perfect, so stop acting like I do. I’m neutral I don’t think it’s better or worse.

To address your points:

>1. ⁠People can get spoiled (not just by people but anywhere, even news headlines)

Getting spoiled is a choice. You can make the choice to just not go on social media. This is like walking onto a highway and being mad that the car hit you. Consequences of your own choices.

>2. ⁠There’s less appreciation for each episode, no discussing theories for the next one, etc. You may not like it but plenty of people do

This **entirely** depends on the episodic nature of the series. Who still cares about Hawkeye episode 2? Versus let’s say WandaVision was released all at once. You think nobody would care about the black and white episodes?

Theories applies the same logic, there wasn’t really any theories for TFAWS. And there’s still theories for what Mephisto will do next after Ironheart. This is entirely based on the show itself. Drop everything at once, or an episode every 6 months and this still stays, if the show reflects that.

Again never said I don’t like it, please don’t make up my views when I haven’t told you them.

>3. ⁠It creates a sense of urgency to watch it all at once JUST to avoid spoilers, which makes it more like checking boxes and “homework” as someone else said

See point 1. You can choose to avoid spoilers. It’s not hard. See Reddit, don’t open it. Not hard to do. lol

And if your seeing these shows as homework and not genuinely interested in the world and universe then you have more issues going on than the shows release schedule. Movies and shows are supposed to be fun. And if you only care about some things, just watch some things. That has nothing to do with release schedule.

>4. ⁠The creators spend years working on something that is in the news and talked about for a day, maybe a week. Again, as I’ve seen someone else say, if you were a creator you’d want a weekly release

If Loki was released all at once do you think its quality and impact on the MCU just magically wouldn’t ever be discussed because it didn’t release weekly. Season 1 is still being talked about to this very day. Do you genuinely think that the difference of 5 weeks at the beginning versus the 234 weeks it’s been relevant since it was finished completely make or break its impact on people? Because there’s movies from decades hell some movies that are a century old that are still being talked about and discussed to this day.

>Weekly: Some people have to wait?

Because fuck people who don’t share the same preferences on release date as I do right? They can all wait and not get their way because fuck them, but I have to get my way because I say so. /s

Come on dude have some empathy. Not everyone shares your views.

>And I say “have to” but you obviously don’t, it’s something you’re choosing to do for some reason

You mean like opening up social media to get spoiled which is arguably your biggest most prevalent point here? Do you not see the hypocrisy?

>when you can obviously watch the show with everyone else

The same way you can just be fine with the show releasing all at once. You’re criticizing others for not being okay with things being the opposite way while you’re shitting on and not being okay with things being the opposite way. Your criticizing others making certain choices to help their enjoyment while your not making certain choices to help your enjoyment and your not even acting like that’s possible.

I mean the bias here is through the roof. I don’t care either way but you’re just being incredibly hypocritical and nonsensical not caring about anyone else’s preferences while complaining about the same fundamental issues your choosing.

TLDR

**This fact still stands:**

You can make a choice to avoid your issues and the time you enjoy the episodes is entirely in your hands

But those who want to enjoy it all at once can’t make a choice to avoid their issues and the time they enjoy the episodes isn’t in their hands, they’re punished for it.

This isn’t equal. Releasing it all at once is far better for both parties than releasing it weekly is for those who want to watch it all at once. The only “argument” you have against that is your bias and absurd claims as if you have no control over spoilers.

superbungalow2026-01-11 08:04

i ain’t reading all that. i’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened.

Markus28222026-01-11 08:06

It’s almost like I put a TLDR or something lmao

Here you go:

PM_me_opossum_pics2026-01-11 16:26

Yeah the whole spoiler "culture" is crazy nowadays. I don't follow ANY Stranger Things subreddits or whatever but I got season 5 spoiled multiple times less than 12 hours after episodes released. Even the last ep that aired on 31st. By the time I woke up, made something to eat and put the ep on I already saw like 2 spoilers from memes on IG and Reddit.

royalxK2026-01-10 00:58

Series have longer relevancy and presence when dished out week to week than bulk dumped. If you were a creator or distributor, you'd do it too.

AsteroidMike2026-01-09 22:15

The self-awareness alone should put this show to the top.

Poku1152026-01-09 22:25

Yeah like thunderbolts right guys?

Own_Giraffe_69282026-01-09 22:31

and the best judge of future results is past results,

like the other two unsuccesful times

AsteroidMike2026-01-09 22:36

Try to remember that “Agatha All Along” ended up being a sleeper hit when no one expected it to.

Poku1152026-01-09 22:39

I meant thunderbolts and she hulk. That all along part of the marketing was more for the people religiously following leaks

Affectionate-Day83072026-01-09 22:24

This show is going to bomb hard. It hasn't been advertised at all well.

-popgoes2026-01-09 23:13

The trailer has more views than the X-Men teaser for Avengers Doomsday.

CommunityDragon1842026-01-10 03:16

Not really there’s ton of marketing. Are you a bot?

TelenorTheGNP2026-01-09 22:07

Ready.

GrandArchSage2026-01-09 22:24

I'm still not convinced enough to watch this... it feels like the last remnants of the past two MCU phases that prioritized quantity over quality. Why are we getting *another* superhero? Where's Moon Knight? Where's Shang-chi? Where's Ms. Marvel? Where's Ironheart? Give us these guys before trying to get me invested in another superhero who I never even really cared for in the comics.

I realize the irony in me saying this about this show in particular. But I've been following the MCU since Iron Man and skip on *very* few movies/shows. This just doesn't have my interest.

Edboy7962026-01-09 22:27

You don't have to watch, we just literally just had Iron Heart, Ms Marvel in The Marvels.

Shang Chi is a good question, but he's going to be in Doomsday from my understanding.

And as I'd seen in another post, Oscar Isaac is not best buds with Disney. If he returns, that'd be amazing.

But also, where's Blade?

Own_Giraffe_69282026-01-09 22:34

[deleted]

Edboy7962026-01-09 22:37

So that's what that was about, thank you.

And unless it's been confirmed, you mean *if*they make Midnight Suns? That would be cool if it's made, but still, the Blade of it all.

And idk is Tatiana coming back after Doomsday?

Own_Giraffe_69282026-01-09 22:40

[deleted]

Edboy7962026-01-09 22:46

I saw that might be the case on a YouTube thumbnail.

You think it would work off the bat, without a proper MCU Blade and Ghost Rider?

If the execution is there, in all for it despite Marvel's overall quality in the last few years

Own_Giraffe_69282026-01-09 22:55

[deleted]

Edboy7962026-01-09 23:02

I'm not quite hungry up on it, it's just Marvel's decisions, like Eternals was fine imo, but it seemed like almost too much for just having them in a movie that wasn't the best received.

Again, it's just the execution for me at the end of the day, if it's something else that works for someone else, thats all good too.

I understand we have a few Midnight Sun members established already that could lead up to an ensemble project afterwards, like Age of Ultron, Civil War.

I can also see the opposite being a thing like Guardians, and then spin offs of sorts like Guardians Xmas and I am Groot.

But you have a good point.

pmjm2026-01-10 01:22

We should have had Moon Knight S2 years ago.

MIAD-8982026-01-11 13:41

The guy you’re responding to is right. Why introduce yet another hero when there are so many other heroes and villains that are being starved of development? Even if Shang Chi is going to appear in Doomsday, why not have him appear in other media to expand his character? Twelve minutes of screen time in a team-up movie won’t do anything for his (and other) characters.

Wonder Man didn’t need his own show. A Shang-Chi show with appearances by Wonder Man, Ms. Marvel and Shuri would’ve been more welcome, and canonically useful.

Serawasneva2026-01-09 23:31

Yeah, I think you’re right that it’s the last holdover of shows ordered from back when the MCU was just pumping out as many as possible, regardless of quality.

eagc72026-01-10 01:28

It is, the show was greenlight before they did the pivot (though it was filmed after the pivot)

CaptHayfever2026-01-10 00:57

Or you could just watch it for its own story, instead of solely looking at it as a setup for something else.

GrandArchSage2026-01-10 03:49

I don't care enough for the character or the subgenre to do so.

FearlessVegetable302026-01-10 04:21

the story looks god awful

spidervenom6192026-01-11 06:41

Hey since you have a Time machine, Did the Bears won the Super bowl? Asking for a friend.

FearlessVegetable302026-01-15 02:49

do you know what the word "looks" means?

BiddyKing2026-01-10 07:17

While I agree with this, the promise of the MCU was that it’s the one cinematic universe that was relevant and functioned how one should. This meant you would see a character and have no fear that not only would you be seeing them again, but you’d be seeing them in an Avengers film. The fact post-Endgame they didn’t have Avengers films to wrap up each phase aka the thing that made this whole project special, means that a lot of these disparate stories just feel like any studio could be making them.

I’ve been a post-Endgame truther and have enjoyed at least 70% of what they’ve released, and am super keen for Wonder Man, but I absolutely understand why the GA no longer cares because Marvel themselves stopped doing the thing that made the MCU work in the first place. At least we finally have an Avengers film on the horizon, even if it will have taken 7 years when originally it was never more than 3 years between Avengers films

CaptHayfever2026-01-10 21:04

We did have recurring characters, themes, & plot threads throughout this saga, though, just not "Avengers" films specifically, & that changed mostly for the practical reason of the difficulty in coordinating large casts. Sometimes it feels like people are upset over a "promise" being broken that was never actually made.

The other major cinematic universes attempts I can think of that failed were because of major quality issues: the Venomverse never had anything worth watching beyond Tom Hardy himself, all but a few DCEU films were either polarizing or reviled, and the Dark Universe basically shot itself in both feet from the word "go" when Dracula Untold fizzled & the Mummy remake flopped.

eagc72026-01-10 01:29

That's because it is one of the last shows from that era, even Brad Winderbaum said this is one of the last few holdovers before they had their restructuring.

afty2026-01-10 02:27

Totally. I'm not going to get invested in new characters because they just keep getting ignored.

BiddyKing2026-01-10 07:10

Quantity wasn’t the issue imo but the lack of periodic Avengers films at the end of each phase to tie these characters and stories together, as well as push the universe forward. The reason pre-Endgame worked is because these disparate stories and characters all were important in an Avengers sense because it was never too long before we’d see them again and interacting with entirely different characters from different worlds. I think it’s insane they stopped doing Avengers films aka the thing that made the connected universe special in the first place, because post-Endgame still hasn’t had one (7 years will be too long)

Swoopmott2026-01-09 22:42

Amen.

I much prefer the TV side of things being fun standalone stories that happen to take place in the same universe. Maybe a cool crossover will happen but it’s not required. Hell, I wouldn’t mind more of the films going that route too.

Own_Giraffe_69282026-01-09 23:03

Absolutely. I love what they're doing with the shows. I believe it's the exact right direction to go in. Neither required viewed (like WandaVision or Loki) nor completely disconnected (like most of the older TV shows).

Sad_Juggernaut_51032026-01-09 22:28

Why do they release so late at night? Just drop it when the day starts

Legal_Union_4202026-01-09 23:20

I’m 60% sure they want this to fail

vivianvisionsburner2026-01-10 00:14

6pt/9et is literally called "prime time"

You people know Nothing.

eagc72026-01-10 01:27

In the age of cable TV, alot of shows premiered their episodes at night, since its when more people are likely to be watching TV

Federal-Captain11182026-01-10 00:01

Most streaming shows release around that Time of day. What an odd complaint.

OrganizdConfusion2026-01-09 22:51

Oh boy. All the Wonderman fans have been waiting years for this.

All 8 of the fans.

Pizzanigs2026-01-09 23:11

Me, unironically. Fuck off

OrganizdConfusion2026-01-09 23:12

What's your favourite Wonderman comic?

Pizzanigs2026-01-09 23:22

The Avengers! Especially his dynamic with Beast. Have you read them?

OrganizdConfusion2026-01-10 00:24

Yes. The dynamic with Beast was the best he was ever written.

I'm glad you enjoy him. Everyone's tastes are different, and that's okay. I find his powers boring and his personality lacking, but each to their own.

Pizzanigs2026-01-10 03:43

(I want you to know I was saying fuck off in a more tongue-in-cheek way than it came off. My bad, love ya)

OrganizdConfusion2026-01-10 04:14

You're all good. I hope I didn't come off as, "name every Wonderman comic."

I've read a lot of the classic comics. I think towards the end of his time in the Avengers, after dealing with his fear of death, he was a more rounded well thought out character.

I hate how early Wonderman was as strong as Thor but had 0 personality.

MIAD-8982026-01-11 13:43

Why are you being downvoted lol

OrganizdConfusion2026-01-11 19:16

I've been downvoted by every single Wonderman fan, but that's okay.

Swing-Full2026-01-09 23:30

I'm actually looking forward to Wonder Man

I hope they do some self deprecating humour about Hollywood and Superhero Movies, seems like they'll have a few like in the trailer.

I was one of the only people who liked the Trevor Slattery was the fake Mandarin, thought his Character was hilarious in IM3 and Shang-Chi. Looking forward to seeing him again

d_wib2026-01-10 03:54

I like him too though I think he had too much screen time in Shang-Chi. That’s probably because I loved the characters of Shang-Chi and his dad so much that I wanted even more of them.

TheDude8102026-01-09 23:39

This kind of marketing only works if the show is actually good. I really hope it is, Wonder Man is a cool character.

I’ll give it this: it at least feels like it’s doing something tonally and stylistically different from the previous D+ shows.

threemo2026-01-10 00:00

The one thing (most) of the shows can be said to do well is having their own unique tone and style. Loki doesn’t look like Ms Marvel doesn’t look like She Hulk doesn’t look like Wandavision. Compelling stories (especially final act) are where Disney struggles. Here’s hoping for a good one!

OjamasOfTomorrow2026-01-10 02:51

Um, what? All D-plus shows are pretty different from one another.

d_wib2026-01-10 03:53

I keep hearing the “feels different” from previous D+ shows. Which ones all felt the same? WandaVision, Loki, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, Agatha All Along, etc were all very unique. Even Ironheart was a unique take where the main character kind of never became a hero throughout the entirety of the show.

Maybe Falcon/Winter Soldier, Secret Invasion, and Daredevil Born Again were just standard action series of wildly varying quality, but the others were pretty distinct.

Beautiful-Year54922026-01-10 14:42

True, The marketing is good, but Loki S2 honestly felt like the last real standout for me. With so many series after that, the stories just haven’t hit the same and it’s made Marvel feel a bit less impactful overall.

CaptHayfever2026-01-10 01:00

That tagline is perfect.

doofshaman2026-01-10 02:11

Man I’m so outta the loop, thought this whole time wonder man was gonna be a movie lmao. Tbf I have no clue who he is as a character, first I’ve ever heard of him.

BiddyKing2026-01-10 07:03

In the comics he was in the old avengers comics but his character died and was never revived until relatively recently, but he still doesn’t show up in many comics despite being alive. But the reason he was important (and the reason they probably never revived him) is because Vision’s personality and brain waves were based on him, so Vision originally was like a Wonder Man replacement. It’s also why in the comics Wanda fell in love with Vision, because she was originally in a relationship with Wonder Man prior to his death.

The MCU obviously had a different origin for Vision (with his personality being based on Jarvis), so therefore will have a different story path for Wonder Man. But my theory based on nothing but conjecture is they will still give him the Wanda/Vision connection by way of having us learn he was from Westview and gained his powers from escaping Wanda’s hex (the same way Monica Rambeau did). I also think that him having hex powers might later be used to help White Vision get his memories back in VisionQuest and that’s how they will give them a connection (since in the comics, Vision considers Wonder Man his brother)

Journ9er2026-01-10 03:02

I counted, 37 is correct. Iron Man to First Steps inclusive.

Cocoiiii2026-01-10 03:09

I have such high hopes for Wonder Man it’s crazy. I already liked Simon way before the show but this amplified that by like 100 no doubt!

BiddyKing2026-01-10 07:06

Same lol

Ok__Thing2026-01-10 04:40

It's great that this is on instagram and I can't watch it. 👍

minyoo2026-01-10 04:45

If it's going to be good, it's going to *really* be good. If it's not good, then it will be ridiculed to death. Seriously hoping that it would be former.

gusefalito2026-01-10 05:31

I know it's a real-life location, but I hope to see some reference to the Mandarin bombings from Iron Man 3 when they visit the Chinese Theater. Especially with Trevor being in this.

beefwindowtreatment2026-01-10 05:34

LMAO. Found the unmute button with about three seconds left.

graric2026-01-10 07:34

I feel like in this current environment where casual audiences have tuned out of the MCU, this kind of tagline isn't going to work for non fans.

Can't wait to watch this

Frozen_Speaker_2452026-01-11 18:23

Its crazy. Im officially so unintressed in the MCU shows Ive now missed one (the wakanda one) and not watched a single trailer for wonderman. I kind of forgot it was even a thing coming out.

I think the movies were way better in 2025, but the shows are so fucking mid its hard to be excited. Im at a point where i wish they just stopped making them ngl...

But maybe they have figured it out. I will probably watch this as im still a big MCU fan. But man do i feel like less of a fan these days and that sucks...
