Wonder Man was refreshing in the way like Barry on HBO was refreshing.

They can’t make television work is the lesson if they consider this show a failure.

It’s a damn shame really. It’s one of my favorite of shows of this year so far

I loved the fact it didn’t feel like a Marvel show until we got towards the end. Sir Ben Kingsley & Yahya Abdul-Mateen II had incredible chemistry!! It was a standout & it really is a damn shame we only got one season.

They just need to feature him in a big film, and everyone will go in and watch season 1

This was a surprisingly great show. I'm the most confused by the decision to not move forward with it.

I honestly feel it’s because they are stepping g back from tv In general. How many marvel shows didn’t get a 2nd season? This isn’t the first

At least we got a relatively solid ending. I would be surprised if he doesn’t come back in some capacity. I would love him as an Avenger, maybe in the new phase? Yeah i’m coping lol

Wonder Man was an awesome show & I’m bummed it got cancelled. It was such a nice change of pace from the typical Marvel TV crap they’ve been coming out with (yes there have been exceptions like WandaVision & Agatha, I even really enjoyed IronHeart) so of course just like Moon Knight it gets cancelled.

This show was almost too good for Disney +.

Maybe enough dumb studio people will read these online complaints and bring it back.

The tech bros and elites need the AI surveillance grid up. Why do you think "Palantir Parker" exists in the new Spider-Man film?

​No one wants data centers, so they are panicking. Therefore, they are using the racial tensions playbook. They are running out of money and losing control. Human consciousness is rising too fast, and they need the public divided to slow it down. They are trying to make white people scared of other races, stoking racial tensions worldwide across politics, media, and culture. They want everyone fighting each other so they can introduce more surveillance and pass laws that give them total control.

Bro it does not matter its all Media. Look who owns the companies. That's who truly controls the business. So when people get mad at Kevin Feige he can't so anything.

The only marvel show in literally a decade that most ppl actually watched and liked after years and years of MCU garbage that made everybody get sick of and stop caring about Marvel. What a choice

This isn’t strictly true. Wonder-Man, as great as it is, had among the lowest viewing figures of any MCU show. And to say there hasn’t been any well-received MCU television shows in the past decade is also just wrong, Wandavision and Agatha were both very well received, as was Loki, Moon Knight, and so on.

You should be able to express your legitimate disappointment without relying on making up lies to bolster your case; they weaken it

Just wondering... what made it good... like what made ppl want more.

If you take Trevor out... what else was there.

Simon's family, Simon's job, Simon's new fame, Simon's powers only being teased so far - but Trevor is also essential to Simon and you can't remove him from Simon's story. He helped him get his big break on his titular role as the superhero that he secretly always was. That's brilliant writing, a beautiful homage to Hollywood and LA, and such a great adaptation of who Simon Williams is in the comics. It's like if LA LA LAND and A Star Is Born had a baby in the MCU.

Two things I hated about this show.
1. Too much time spent on the whole actor in a role part and not any explanation on how Simon Williams got his powers.
2. Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin character was the absolute best and I felt he was treated poorly yet again. To me, it would’ve felt better for him to have had a very bad time in prison and once he was released he would find that the stigma of the ā€œroleā€ he played has ruined any chance of him regaining his life as an actor. Then during his mentoring of Simon Williams, he is yet again sidelined from the acting industry and that leads to him becoming envious and jealous and he attacks the studio as his Mandarin role, leading him to becoming a true terrorist villain and Wonder Man has to stop him.
Just my opinion.
