Marvel Tried to BURY "Wonder Man"? Why It’s Actually a Hit

In this episode of The Nerd Gen Report, we review the surprise hit Wonder Man. Despite Marvel giving it the "trash" treatment with zero marketing, we explain why this might be the best MCU show since Loki.In this video:• Shame on Marvel: The studio released Wonder Man the same way they dumped Echo and Ironheart—all at once with no promotion. We discuss why Marvel clearly didn't believe in this project and why they were dead wrong.• The Performances: Yaya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley have incredible chemistry. We discuss how Kingsley redeems the Trevor Slattery character and why Yaya proves he is a heavyweight actor (even if he called Aquaman "clown work").• Destin Daniel Cretton: With this show and Shang-Chi, is Cretton now the most important director in the MCU? We discuss why his involvement makes us more excited for Spider-Man 4 than Avengers: Doomsday.• The X-Men Template: We argue that Wonder Man inadvertently created the perfect blueprint for the Mutant Saga: Character-driven stories about trauma and powers, without the need for world-ending stakes.• Ranking the Show: Is it better than WandaVision? We rank Wonder Man against the top tier of Disney+ content.
