Marvel have dropped yet another fucking Super Hero TV Show..

But.

They have REALLY fucked up this time, it is a complete mess of

A kid loved the show Wonderman  
Ben Kingsley played The Mandarin in an Iron Man Film.

The Kid is an actor who auditions for Wonderman.  
Ben plays the Ben who was The Mandarin

It is GENIUS it is a lesson in Acting, Ben dropping names - Hamlet in Croydon, Sir John Gielgud

I am broke, but I’d pay to watch Ben and I haven’t come close to the circular genius of the plot.

Watch this even if you hate Capeshit (it has none in Ep1 anyway)

I’m kinda surprised our wsteemed leader @pap hasn’t popped by to comment on Wonder Man.

For me the simplest yet best MCU TV drop.  
Superheroes but with depth love and warmth not seen since maybe early Ironman.

I’m completely torn because the story is tight and wraps itself up, yet it also opens itself up to more.

Id love to see more of Trevor & Simon, yet the beauty of this show is how almost “small” the universe is.

Rare, but this is a 12/10 from me

No idea what that post meant but with the depth in the writing, probably yes Marvel knew

Paradise Disney +  
Was an oddball end of the World show that was a huge unexpected hit.  
President in a bunker dies, elite, etc.

It got a S2 which opens as a total complete not sci-fi totally simple and deep fifferent and my word

This is a brilliant show. Watch it

Once upon a time the greatest TV show ever made us binge, led us to stream, and dream of Emilia Clarke.  
8 seasons of marvel  
And one of dogshit.

It spawned a prequel, so big it had Doctor Who in it and nobody cared

They dropped a 6 part pre prequel prequel. Nobody cared . no bewbs, no Dr Who

But my goodness it was good. It was so good you didn’t need to watch the original.  
It had nobody famous. In fact it may have been about the Brighton Centre Half, Sir Dunk.

The Knight of the Seven Realms.

Brilliant story, well told, superbly acted

Watch it after you finish Starfleet Academy & Paradise

My favourite line from the Pilot is SG-1 is when RDA needs to fix a machine and he quips “we’ll just MacGyver it together”..

Would be called an Easter egg now.

This isn’t it but funny anyway

Ben Browther (& Claudia Black + Jolene T’Pau Blalock) were all wonderful additions but just weren’t RDA

Seeing as they killed off most of the cast in Serenity i’m not sure a live action revival would have worked anyway. A prequel animated series could be fun though?

Also a lot of them are big stars now so blocking months of filming..

It was always the great vibe of the cast in the stories, Im sure they are all in on making it great
