Damn, that kinda sucks, I really enjoyed it. To be fair it doesn’t really need a second season, the story was relatively self-contained. But watching Yahya Abdul Mateen and Ben Kingsley together was a joy. They’re both amazing actors.

yeah that was the best marvel show in a while. maybe entirely.

Ben Kingsley is here? Is here still "the mandarin"? I wasn't very interested in the show, but this interests me.

Yeah, he’s playing the same character (Kingsley plays Trevor Slattery, the actor who plays Mandarin).

They made a season of Wonderman?! Disney needs to up their game - particularly on DVD trailers, which are the only ads I still see.

They probably didn't know how to market it. Barely any purple zappy lights or spandex or or flames or blowout fight scenes.
It was decent. But I think I'm past where even "good" or "unique" MCU stuff interests me much.

Wild. I would expect a TV adaptation of Wonder man would have plenty of purple zappy lights and spandex and fight scenes.
