*Wonder Man* is the one that finally makes you get D+?

Thick_Tone_41582026-01-23 07:22

Naw fr Andor alone is worth getting D+ for

Realistic_Analyst_262026-01-23 09:12

I didn’t like Andor tbh

crasherdgrate2026-01-23 05:45

So, more on the lines of Agatha all along, small scope but well made?

SnooAvocados43572026-01-23 06:07

Sounds like my cup of tea

ZhicoLoL2026-01-23 06:54

Agatha was so under valued. Amazing show that fleshed out Agatha while giving us info into witchcraft and gives us Wiccan.

rvdp662026-01-23 12:37

Was it? It debuted at no.8 on the Nielsen charts.

Witchy girls went crazy for that show. I think only reddit thinks it did badly....

curious_dead2026-01-23 13:39

IIRC it did better than Daredevil.

_PrincessOats2026-01-23 14:44

Because it’s not rated R.

ScuzzBuckster2026-01-23 19:18

That is not the reason lmao, agatha went super viral with the witches' road song and aubrey plaza and kathryn hahn. I had friends and family who dont care about mcu stuff asking me about Agatha from the comic books because they loved the show. It was huge, the rating didnt have any impact on that.

chronicarrythmia2026-01-23 16:07

Can confirm. Source: me

banmeandidelete2026-01-23 15:16

Agatha in the comics is a hero (at least so far) and it's so weird to me that she is the same person in both medias.

PayneTrain1819992026-01-23 14:20

Hawkeye, Thunderbolts, Agatha.

Post-Endgame MCU is often at its best when the stakes aren’t “holy shit the multiverse is collapsing”

crasherdgrate2026-01-23 15:01

I mean there were smaller scope things that didn’t work as well.

Echo: nothing stands out.

Ms Marvel: A few too many plots, that could have been streamlined (the past about Kamala and the Department hunting her stuff)

Iron Heart, She Hulk etc

BloodDrunkMoonKnight2026-01-23 15:49

>Echo: nothing stands out.

Besides Kingpin getting the idea to run for mayor in the finale, yeah, not much else there.

Her ancestors origins was weird. What was all that about?

-Mez-2026-01-23 16:38

Was Ms Marvel smaller scope/stakes? I thought I remember that weirdly crammed in Clandestines plot in the middle of the show being about a dimensional portal risking destroying earth.

CaptHayfever2026-01-23 16:41

Yeah, one of the most common critiques of the show is that it should've *stuck with* the smaller-stakes stuff with Damage Control & saved the Pakistan trip & dimensional stuff for a 2nd season.

navjot942026-01-24 18:09

I wish Department of Damage Control, the Power Broker (and Leader) trying to create a super soldier serum, and Skrulls had all been a through-line post Endgame. It’s not hard to visualize a plot where DODC is attempting to wrangle up powered characters, use their blood to create a new super hero serum for mysterious reasons, and that reason be revealed to be part of the Skrull’s agenda to create a super skrull for their invasion.

Standard_Blood20682026-01-23 16:18

The recent Spider-Man and Deadpool movies worked best for most people

The-Mandalorian2026-01-24 00:56

You forgot Ms. Marvel.

Still the highest rated MCU project to date.

Linnus422026-01-23 15:14

Yeah but Agatha still had obvious witchy stuff going on. And spun out of an already popular show and had Wiccan.

Whereas this seems to have teases for Simon until like the last 5 minutes and besides that the most powers are shown for the Doorman Episode.

demonoddy2026-01-23 19:09

Probably even better with more broad appeal. If I had to guess

navjot942026-01-24 18:03

“This is Marvel Television?”

“This is what Marvel Television is supposed to be.”

Fr tho, as much as I enjoyed WandaVision, Loki, and Falcon and Winter Soldier, I think those projects could’ve been elevated by being feature films, and included other cast members. Shows like Agatha, Wonder Man, etc, is what D+ series should be for. WandaVision did well with the format too, but I just think the story was too vital to the movie saga (big part of Wanda’s cinematic arc through Ultron, Civil War, Infinity War, and it led to her arc in Multiverse of Madness).

Characters like Hawkeye and Black Widow showed up in the movies without their own solo flicks to introduce them, and maybe that’s what the D+ series should’ve been used for. Give us an origin for a new character, like Wonder Man or Moon Knight, and then incorporate them for the cinematic team ups. But once they’re part of the movies’ overarching story, keep those characters in the theaters. Any saga that starts on the big screen then is continued on streaming, devalues the value of those characters. Build them up, don’t drag them down.

LeBio212026-01-25 08:00

While I didn't fully love Agatha it did very well at being a show more for fans of witches, magic and musicals, so for Wonder Man it's more about the film industry and acting. Both aren't for everyone but should succeed very well in their target demographics

SoloLeveling9252026-01-27 20:17

I remember thinking that show sounded so dumb to me and then I had nothing to watch it and said fuck it. I ended up binge watching it lmao. It was a really good show.

BalashstarGalactica2026-01-29 04:50

Exactly that.

KO_AveragePerson952026-01-23 05:46

Is it really the best? I’m excited for the show, but they always say this with every marvel show that drops. Even Echo and Secret Invasion had those types of reactions at first. Hopefully it’s good, since I really am digging the Hollywood take on it.

krlozdac2026-01-23 05:52

I think the main difference is that this time people have seen the whole season. The first couple of episodes of SI does a good enough job to sell you on the potential of the show with it just devolving and shitting the bed in the finale.

palk0n2026-01-23 05:59

naw its ugly ass from the start to the end

PaloLV2026-01-23 06:22

LOL what? I dipped out halfway through the second episode of Secret Invasion. It was beyond awful.

StewiesCurbside2026-01-23 06:32

This is my hot take. Secret Invasion was at least alright until it neared the end. If they had fixed the ending without Gaia and made it to where Rhodey was always a skrull, it would have been far better

delinear2026-01-23 11:17

Maybe it wasn't offensively bad until the finale, it's just that it also lacked all of the spy-drama type intrigue we should have had with that show in particular. Winter Soldier did that really well, and SI fell so far short in comparison despite theoretically being able to dial up the paranoia to 11 with the hidden Skrull that.

Considering there was some incredible talent involved, it was a real shame that the writing didn't live up to the promise and the actors had so little to do. It just really saddens me too see big opportunities to prove the genre can be more than just super hero action squandered this way.

They also did Maria Hill real dirty, if she had to go out, she deserved better than to just get fridged that way, and then Fury is sad for 30 seconds and basically forgets about it in the next episode. Waste of a good character, same with Talos.

eagc72026-01-23 05:55

I mean one of the things about these shows is that they tend to give the reviewers only the first batch, which results on reviews based on only half the show and not the overall series as a whole, that is why some of these divisive shows start with good to decent reviews.

-Nick____2026-01-23 06:00

It was all episodes this time around

eagc72026-01-23 06:17

Which is amazing ^^ I wish they would do this for all of their shows.

misiissleepy2026-01-23 06:03

I don’t remember those kind of reviews for Echo, and especially not Secret Invasion

MrZeral2026-01-23 06:15

Those are reviews, not reactions...

No_Imagination_24902026-01-23 08:48

I think you're misremembering. Secret Invasion got pretty bad reviews at the time, 53% on RT.

BigB0iBuster2026-01-23 05:47

Fuck yeah, so glad that they nailed it! Can’t wait to watch

josephcoco2026-01-23 05:57

magicaltrevor9532026-01-23 11:01

Would you make the same comment if all of the reviews came in as "2/10 it's complete dogshit"? No snark, just curious.

josephcoco2026-01-23 13:02

Yeah, I would. Because even on the occasional lukewarm review, I still watched it as soon as it was released, hoping the overall reviews were wrong.

Everybody always gets hyped when these social media reviews first come out because they’re all excited about it, and then, for a lot of the post-Endgame projects, the show or movie ended up being (and then seen as) just “meh”. So like I said before that the young Marvel fanboys on this sub apparently didn’t like, don’t listen to the reviews at all and just make up your mind by watching it yourself.

magicaltrevor9532026-01-23 15:49

I agree, definitely best to judge it yourself rather than just going by what reviewers say. There are plenty of times where (not just Marvel) the reviews are glowing and I just don't feel the same way, not to say its not objectively *good* but just not for me which not everything has to be. Same way that some with negative reviews I really enjoy.

I think most of the time people have already made their mind up about whether they think something will be good or bad. The initial reviews tend to either reinforce that opinion or be ignored: "I expected it to be shit, and it looks like the reviewers agree", or "I expected it to be shit, and looks like the reviewers don't know what they are talking about so I am of course still correct" (same with the positive ones too). Not to mention the shitty YouTube videos "why x is dying" or "M-She-U is dead (not clickbait!)" when the reviews aren't amazing off the bat. That's always going to come up in cases where *those people* accuse them of "going woke" i.e. not pretending that black people don't exist.

I am looking forward to checking it out, the positive reviews are a good sign that it is at least decently made and entertaining even if its not award-winningly amazing but will have to see.

illucio2026-01-23 05:50

Ooh good remarks and not the generic kind you typically find in reviews, so you know this show is genuinely good.

Own_Information81562026-01-23 05:51

This makes me even more nervous since they always say "it's the best thing" in every new projects.

palk0n2026-01-23 06:00

its objectively the best marvel project of 2026

Own_Information81562026-01-23 06:02

Have you watched it yet?

Stealthbot212026-01-23 06:07

I mean it, being the only project of 2026 so far, by default, is objectively the best lol

Agreeable_User_Name2026-01-23 06:10

It's also objectively the worst so far

Stealthbot212026-01-23 06:10

Very true

jaythebearded2026-01-23 06:05

Why does that make you *more* nervous if it's just the same as what they always say?

eagc72026-01-23 06:15

I think they may have PTSD on how some divisive MCU projects got early positive buzz

matty_nice2026-01-23 06:37

Critics know if they don't praise a show they won't get access to stuff in the future. This is why you always have to be cautious anytime something new is released, especially before it's released to the general audience.

RT is criticized because of this system. I think the Megalopolis (edited to correct name) movie was at like 100 percent for a few months before release.

CaptHayfever2026-01-23 06:44

The Metropolis movie is considered one of the greatest films of all time, & even now, almost a century after it came out, it's still at 97% fresh.

matty_nice2026-01-23 06:45

Sorry. Megalopolis. The 2024 film.

ROBtimusPrime19952026-01-23 06:01

Lol, these are reviews, not reactions, guys.

The show currently has 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Take the W.

No_Imagination_24902026-01-23 08:45

Seems like Marvel were actually pretty confident about this one getting good reviews, lifting the embargo a few days before release rather than on the day of release. (But then there's nothing Hollywood critics love more than a film/show about Hollywood.)

QuaidArmy2026-01-23 18:44

Given that Ms Marvel had a 98% I'll be VERY cautiously optimistic.

Primo_162026-01-23 20:05

This place hates the truth.

CaptHayfever2026-01-24 01:08

That was for just the first 2-3 episodes, before the rushed Pakistan scenes bogged it down.
For Wonder Man, critics got to see the *entire season*.

QuaidArmy2026-01-24 01:21

Good point it did have a halfway decent start

MarvelMind2026-01-23 06:01

Very happy to hear how different it is. My favorite part of the longevity of The MCU is that it’s has grown regardless of individual preference into a collection of releases every single bit as diverse in terms of tone as browsing a brick and mortar comics shop and looking at all the different Marvel titles.

BaronZhiro2026-01-23 09:25

Yeah, I was saying during Phase Four that it was starting to remind me of the drugstore spinner racks of my youth.

Worried_Quarter4692026-01-23 06:04

Release date is January 27, this upcoming Tuesday

TheRightHonourable-2026-01-23 19:02

Goat comment

marvelscott2026-01-23 06:16

Was there any reason as to why they are doing a binge release rather than a weekly?

Worried_Quarter4692026-01-23 06:21

I’d guess weekly makes more sense if you have a guaranteed audience to string along

All at once makes more sense for riskier shows

eagc72026-01-23 06:23

Maybe they weren't confident that people would like this since its the last show from their quantity over quality era, maybe the show doesn't lend itself to weekly, maybe they don't want overlap with Daredevil or at least don't want to have the two shows starting and ending too close to each other

Wrong-Vermicelli47232026-01-23 11:36

It’s probably this, they didn’t think it would do well viewership wise. Echo got the same treatment

TaylorDangerTorres2026-01-23 06:58

So that I can see how they portray Doorman the day the show releases.

Realistic_Analyst_262026-01-23 09:13

It doesn’t sound like a show that needs a weekly release. There is probably not much to talk about between episodes so the audience having to wait a week would just kill hype.

Ruiner52026-01-23 09:32

Probably because a weekly would lead it right up to DDBA:2 and they want Wonderman to have some spotlight before they start the media push for Daredevil

Mino_182026-01-23 11:53

Maybe they don’t want it to fall to the background amidst new stuff like trailers in Feb

quangtran2026-01-23 14:08

Probably because they don’t see this as a water cooler show that would gain weekly viewers like HBO shows White Lotus or Gilded Age. A lot of binge shows (like Ms Maisel) shifted to a weekly model because they had a loyal audience, but they knew that there wasn’t much mainstream appeal to this or Echo.

sonnytron2026-01-23 06:27

I love when they take courageous projects like this. TF&TWS touched on this a little but ultimately ended on kind of a bland note. Moon Knight was good because it didn’t try to be part of the MCU, it just focused on telling a good story. It’s the same with Loki.

FunEventsandGames2026-01-23 06:34

I have hope this is actually good and actually does well and gets a Season 2. *Agatha All Along* was and good and did very well but didn't get a Season 2 purely because it's part of a trilogy of mini-series between *WandaVision* and *Visionquest* so it didn't have the potential to be renewed regardless of reception. This is an actual television series that aims to be a television series so it could be a continuous thing like *Daredevil: Born Again*.

Live_Answer_38752026-01-23 06:45

“Barely any action”. That doesn’t sound promising.

[deleted]2026-01-23 07:14

It's not an action show. Why would something that isn't in the action genre not having action be a problem?

Live_Answer_38752026-01-23 07:14

The inherent problem for me is having a comic book show with little to no action

[deleted]2026-01-23 07:17

Comic books are a medium. They can be any genre not just action.

eagc72026-01-23 08:25

Not every Comic Book is an action magazine

CaptHayfever2026-01-23 06:47

14 reviews listed at the time of this comment, & 12 of them are positive.

Naked_Snake_22026-01-23 07:53

aestus2026-01-23 08:48

yv_sharma_2026-01-23 09:33

KlausLoganWard2026-01-23 09:34

Its nice to see reviews being this positive.

delinear2026-01-23 11:30

The trailers looked fun so it's good to hear initial reviews are positive too.

They also showed some self-awareness of the issues with some recent MCU offerings, so I hope this (along with their recent statements on the subject) is them acknowledging and working on fixing things and not just comedic lampshading.

IvnOooze2026-01-23 11:55

Why are they releasing all the episodes at the same time if this is good?

CaptHayfever2026-01-23 16:44

Because distribution =/= quality, & everyone who said otherwise was just making unfounded assumptions.

demonoddy2026-01-23 19:13

That has never mattered

eagc72026-01-23 20:32

I think it could be either, they had no faith on the show or they don't want there to be overlap with Daredevil or at least have a bit of a distance between them or they don't feel this show lends itself to weekly

TexasPeteEnthusiast2026-01-23 12:54

I'm just concerned it is going to appeal too much to those living inside the Hollywood ecosystem but not be relatable to the wider public.

CaptHayfever2026-01-23 16:45

Did the wider public like The Studio?

Brilliant-Height58392026-01-28 03:14

What does that even mean?

JacobLemongrass2026-01-23 16:03

I really hope they don’t give us a good show and make us love a character only to never use them again. Yahya is too good to waste like that.

demonoddy2026-01-23 19:12

I have a feeling they are setting up west coast avengers or a new team for the future

Old-Illustrator-56752026-01-23 16:15

Cannot wait!

SandManFromPanAm2026-01-23 18:49

Yikes barely any action has me worried that it’s gonna be a dud

demonoddy2026-01-23 19:12

Action doesn’t make a show good or bad

SandManFromPanAm2026-01-23 19:13

I agree, but when I hear wonder man I picture big time action and super heroics

demonoddy2026-01-23 20:57

Okay lol

SandManFromPanAm2026-01-23 21:26

I mean…care to share your opinion?

demonoddy2026-01-23 22:08

I don’t base anything off a name. I knew from the trailers this was going to be something different and I’m here for it

SandManFromPanAm2026-01-23 22:10

Yeah I mean I sure hope it’s good and the quality looks good, but I wasn’t making an assumption based off a name. I had expectations in my head based off the powerhouse and undeniably action filled character of Wonder Man from the comics.

demonoddy2026-01-24 02:17

Okay

CaptHayfever2026-01-24 01:10

Keep in mind that it was *not* advertised as an action show, so we really shouldn't be assuming that it's an action show.

SandManFromPanAm2026-01-24 01:11

It wasn’t really advertised as much of anything really. They gave us a glimpse of the show in the trailers and really didn’t give us a whole lot of insight as to what we would be watching.

CaptHayfever2026-01-24 02:00

Really? Because it looked to me like a comedy about a guy auditioning for a superhero movie >!who has to hide the fact that he has real powers because they've been banned from Hollywood, & gets mentored by the former fake Mandarin, who is being blackmailed by the government into spying on him!<.

JustinF6082026-01-23 21:29

“Barely any action…”, gotta be honest, don’t really like that.

BlkHorus2026-01-25 06:08

All the reviews actually make me think it will not go well with the fanbase nor deliver for what most people that will watch are hoping - which is some feint connection to the larger narrative of multiverse issues.

Brilliant-Height58392026-01-28 03:15

You mean incels?

LeBio212026-01-25 07:58

Glad to hear positive things, this looks like my cup of tea so I'm excited to watch it now

“Se volessimo vedere un tizio che prende appunti su un taccuino e pensa di essere a teatro, andremmo in un ufficio, non su Disney+. Dov'è la creatività? Avete fatto di più con i disegni in 2D in X-Men '97 che con tutta questa serie live-action. Ridateci Logan e Morph! 🐺🎨❌”

SoloLeveling9252026-01-27 20:14

I’m just a fan of Yahya so I was going to watch it regardless but at least the reviews are seem promising.

External_Refuse_84242026-01-28 03:29

This is charming so far 🤷

cantlarp2026-01-28 05:00

I think he's a fucking mutant

Filledwithrage242026-01-28 05:31

I just finished episode 3 and I’ve cried twice so far. I really love it.

JonJophy2026-01-28 06:20

I'm 3 episodes in, and I think this series is FANTASTIC!

troymcklure2026-01-28 07:54

Just burned thru the entire thing the night it came out. Loved it! Definitely by the end it left me wanting more and eager to see where it goes from here. Trevor continues to be one of my fav MCU characters. The show did a wonderful job with tone and balancing comedy with drama and truly never feared giving time for the characters to develop.

The JG cameo episode was just too great as well!

w0m2026-01-28 08:39

That... was better than I expected. Well done.

Renverseur2026-01-28 12:21

Ding dong motherfu-

the-tominatrix2026-01-28 13:59

Man it was fantastic. The only downside was the lack of commitment to adapting Simon’s brother properly.

Diamond1nTheRough82026-01-28 19:08

Now that is how you race swap a character, paying homage to the original character who is seen as a hero to the modernised casting version. Just that opening scene is all it takes.

Jawilla9362026-01-28 23:32

Different approach but great show 👍

emanuele09332026-01-29 01:26

Great show from start to finish

_Contrive_2026-01-29 02:23

“It’s about a young man who wants to find himself, in the world that he’s gotten lost into. A tragedy and a comedy, in a world of end of the world stakes, you’ve never felt so tense watching someone try to live a normal life.

Struggling with being a powered individual in a world afraid of “superhero’s”, Simon finds himself in pursuit of a role of the lifetime.

Inspired by watching movies with his father growing up, Simon faces a lot of conflict between the pedestal he was held up to, and the life he currently lives.

His dreams of seeing his name on the credits, facing his current reality that HE may not be able to get the role, HE may get caught with powers and arrested, while the end of the world isn’t at stake, the end of HIS world feels so personal”

What got me, was his love for film. Seeing Simon and his actor, genuinely he brought me in. Such a phenomenal actor holding the mirror up perfectly.

I really liked seeing him and Trevor’s character stay to the END of the credits.

It’s weird, but as an aspiring film-maker, I do it out of respect for EVERY artist who worked on the film. Getting your name in those credits is the entire world to some people, only for most of us to not read their name, to know their contribution.

Beautiful

This is the best marvel show I have watched yet. Lower stakes mean that you can just enjoy the show and not worry about disappointing yourself with the big fight at the end. The acting and writing was great compare to other marvel shows.

usmannaeem2026-01-29 15:47

The first Marvel comics show I do not like one bit. I do not like tv shows or movies about movies or movie stars. Certainly not from Marvel. This is a 3 out of 10 for me.

athairdurden692026-01-29 16:49

Really liked it. Hope to see more of these characters in the future.

Desperate_Sugar_5922026-01-29 16:58

Hi!

I binged Wonder Man in about 24 hours after the Jio Hotstar release, and the show’s theme about being seen really stuck with me. So I made a tiny kid-version as a tribute - same heart, smaller world.

This is Episode 1 of a small fan series called “Kid Wonder Man”. It’s a very short, curious emotional experiment I made in about an hour using original visuals and audio. He’s just a little cute buddy dancing around ;)

FAN-MADE - NOT AFFILIATED WITH MARVEL / DISNEY.

All assets are original.

Would love to know:

Which episode or moment from Wonder Man stayed with you the most?

And do you think the show will get a Season 2?

Imaginary_Job_3432026-01-29 21:43

Although nothing really happened and the ending was anti-climatic, this character was really relatable. Willing to bet a lot of people like it for similar reasons.
