I feel like I’m being gaslit by Disney employees

i know it's a hard concept to understand, but sometimes your opinion is not the opinion of other people

I have only watched the first four episodes, but I saw it described as Atlanta mashed up with The Studio and it's definitely delivering on that. I'm enjoying myself.

Not everyone who has a different opinion than you is 'gaslighting' you lol

If you're going to go through life thinking everyone is paid to say they like something that you didn't, you are going to have a bad time.

Sorry you didn't like the show, but that's on you and nobody else.

What if, and hear me out, you aren’t being gaslit, but you simply do not like it?


Sounds like the Freeform series are more your speed, champ

Sounds like you went into it wanting a simple superhero good guy punch bad guy story and instead you were confronted with a morally complex character piece that you weren't ready to accept

So wait…you like one character but not another? Woah, what a concept! Maybe consider that what you like and don’t like is the opposite for someone else…

There's a lot of people (me included) who think the mcu world is vast enough to have content that is only tangentially related to superheroics. Who want to see an exploration of the impact of heroes on the daily lives of people.

Then there's a lot of casual show enjoyers and people who aren't marvel superfans who enjoy a show/movie that isn't "burdened" by MCU connections and requisites.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, there are many viewers who enjoy character studies and more introspective content.

So that's 3 pretty damn large groups of audiences who would all enjoy a show like Wonder Man (which isn't the first show about Hollywood and Superhero movies btw).

So, please, don't imply people who enjoyed it or voiced their praise are paid, industry plants, or bots.

It's annoying and does a disservice to any legitimate criticism you might have.

Did you expect a more superhero approach from this show?

Way too much sincerity for it to be Seinfeld or curb. Don't see the comparison.


Thought the show was really good. The lead is a great character and had a great time seeing how he became who he is and him dealing with it.

The biggest tragedy of our times was the bleeding of therapist terms into everyday vocabulary. Now every different opinion is gaslighting. 

A lot of people, myself included found it to be a wonderful story. If you don’t like it, that’s ok. There is a ton of Marvel content to enjoy. Stuff like this grounds the universe which is not the worst thing.

If you like the characters and appreciate their struggle, then the show will probably be enjoyable. It doesn't have huge stakes, and not a ton of action scenes, but it focuses closely on the main characters and their real day to day experience.

If you can't relate, and want more action / connection to the major MCU, then this show will feel like a chore. You should watch Episode 8 though, if you've watched the rest. It really ties a bow around everything and set it up for future seasons/appearances.

Exact opposite for me. I thought the finale of Moon Knight was the worst part and that Wonder Man is much better written and paced as a series.

Moon Knight had the problem as a lot of MCU stuff at the time where there was an obsession with everything needing to have big, world-ending stakes in the third act rather than letting something be smaller and intimate (Ms. Marvel also suffered from this).

I’m on episode three and think it’s pretty mid so far, but excited to see where it goes!

I don't think you know what the word "gaslighting" means. People having and expressing different opinions from yours isn't gaslighting.

I think that it's great that Marvel is trying different things. This show was a very pleasant surprise, and I would like to see it continuing in some form.

I wonder why it's always hard for people to understand that something can be good and at the same time, it's not enjoyable for you. Nobody's gaslighting you, they simply enjoyed the show and expressed that. It's okay to not like something everyone likes but understand your experience isn't the same as everyone's else.

I mean I’m willing to say my opinion on it doesn’t match the reviews I’ve seen which is fine. I’m not a fan of “the craft” of acting so the show fell flat with me. Is what it is.

I think the reasons it didn't click for you are probably the same reasons that made it enjoyable to the people who are praising it. It happens, there are other MCU projects that aren't to my taste that people loved, but I do appreciate that the Disney+ shows have so much variety in genre and tone that it's almost always a different person's cup of tea.

I felt this way watching Daredevil Born Again. It was quite possibly the most boring show ever made and redditors were glazing it like it was the best thing ever and it made me realize just what shit taste a lot of people have.

i just came to see i agree with all the comments here.

you dont like it, not everything is for you, thats also why the show is refreshing.

marvel has to continue to have diverse properties.

i think we're going to look back at eternals as the great film that it is, and not some weird side marvel movie.

It’s all been released. You can wait until you watch it all to from a complete opinion.

Hear me out, what if people find different things they enjoy watching.


Why is your opinion so special that you believe it must be dIsNey eMploYeeS gaslighting you rather than you are just not a fan of it?

It's ok if you didn't like it man. When I started watching it, even I was like what generic bs is this. I thought why they got Kingsley again for this.

But then I felt normal sitcom or webseries vibes from it. Just a light show about characters, and showing some real life story.
The problems and friendship of the 2 characters in a slice-of-life way, that kept me hooked.

But if someone would've told me this wasn't from Marvel, I would've believed them.
I was pleasantly surprised by Kingsley's acting and how Simon's life was shown. I really resonated with that.

Overall it was a nice bit of change from the intense plots stuff, but I could've done without too.
I'd rate it 7.5/10. It was good to watch, but I don't think I'd be watching it again. Nor do I care about Simon returning.

Don't worry OP, I thought it was just "ok" as well.


Every episode I kept getting reminded why we are never getting a proper Mandarin villain.

I didn't know I was a Disney employee for enjoying a TV show, when do they start paying me?

Mayhe you just dont like it? I would personally stop listening to others opinions on a thing until you tey it first. You seem to let others opinions effect how you view/feel about something. I personally really enjoyed the laid back vibe and especially liked the look into a working actors life. If you dont like it, np harm no foul. Accusing people who have a different opinion than you of gaslighting you makes me think you dont know what that word means.

I think if you look at the Disney plus series as a whole they all kind of subvert expectations on what we expect from superhero media.

It may not be for you, but I enjoy She-Hulk for what it is, and Moon Knight for what it is, and Wanda vision for what it is. All of them are atypical though in the superhero genre.

The least interesting thing about Wonder Man was Wonder Man. The rest was entertaining for me, but I wouldn't herald it as a second coming of the MCU that we miss. Just a fun off kilter introduction to a character.

I thought this was a refreshing show!

not everyone is gonna enjoy everything. If you don't enjoy something others do that's okay. If you enjoy something others don't mm then that's okay too.

Pretty sure OP is gaslighting me 🤔

You know, your opinion doesn't make something good or bad. It just means you don't like it. You don't have to like everything. In fact, you're expected not to. You don't need to try to invalidate other opinions just to express your own.

Wait.. Am I being gaslit by Chappelle Roan and Sabrina Carpenter? I don't have an issue with their music, but I also don't find myself enjoying full albums!

Why does it have to be gaslighting because a lot of people enjoyed something you don’t?

Redditor finds out that they have a minority opinion so naturally, believes there is some kind of conspiracy and that this can't be real-life.

I’m so confused because you shared not one example of how you’re being gaslit by Disney employees…

Hey guy, every single human being on this planet has different opinions on every single thing existing in this world. Even people who agree with one another have nuanced differences in each of their opinions/thoughts. That is just being human.

If you do not like something, you do not like something. And that is perfectly fine. Sure, reddit and the internet will try and make you feel bad for not liking something that the "hive mind" have adopted or praised, but realistically, you are perfectly fine if your interests do not line up 100% with some show, movie, album, etc. you consume.

Now as far as you believing the internet is some "gaslighting" project where the Mouse is targeting you specifically to try and convince you that you do actually enjoy Wonder Man is where any support of your post has to dry up for the rest of us. That is some serious Main Character Energy and I can assure you that there is no conspiracy anywhere outside of your head for anyone to try and sway your opinion on a streaming tv show.

You are not being gaslight, you simply didn't liked it, everyone has their own tastes and not everything will work out for everyone and the same applies vice versa (You are talking to someone that loves Raimi's Spider-Man 3 even though so many people depises it)
