I recently watched some Marvel slop with a friend who likes the stuff. It was a show called Wonder Man.

Now, in recent years, I’ve only seen the thoroughly meh Fantastic Four movie and the dogshit Captain America movie. I have not watched the streaming series’ or other movies they keep churning out every 3 months since like 2021. I might have to go see Spider-Man with my friend in a couple days because she insists it’s good, but that’s irrelevant.

Wonder Man was actually enjoyable. Idk if it’s because it’s the least “Marvel” in terms of acting and direction, or if it’s because it feels like these characters are closer to actual people than quip/merch machines, or because we had a couple drinks, but I actually found myself engaging with a Marvel property for the first time in a long time.

Anyway, it’s 1 season and there won’t be more because they cancelled season 2. Wish I remembered who the deuteragonist was, apparently he was in the 3rd Iron Man but I watched that one drunk over a decade ago.

I wouldn’t “highly” recommend it, but it’s surprisingly watchable for 2020’s Marvel.
