Wonderman is Alive?

Leave a comment

My apologies everyone. I was under the impression that the Wonderman TV show was canceled during the Hollywood strike, but now that the strike is over, it has been reported that it will start production around Thanksgiving.

Wonderman and many other MCU shows will be part of the “Spotlight” section of the MCU, which means they aren’t part of the larger MCU continuity. Ok, let me see if I get this right. Marvel is now making shows and potential movies that won’t interact with the bigger world ending and Avenger Level Threats…and this is a good idea?

Which tells me one thing. The writers realized that added too many chaotic things to the franchise and there is no way to tell such stories in a logia manner anymore. Maybe having multiverse incursions, Celestial beings, Soul Eating Dragons, and a million Skrulls may have jumped the shark in the logical department.

For note, I wrote about how the Punisher wouldn’t be able to be in the MCU because why would he care about drug deals and gangsters when an alien invasion happened? But back to Wonderman, it’ll flop. This is more of a vanity project now than adding a new and exciting character to the MCU.

Loki the Skeptic Loki the Believer

Remember that sad emotional scene where Loki watches his future and becomes a better person from it? He sees himself and Thor becoming friends, getting along, seeing that he is the reason his mother was killed in Thor 2, ultimately sees himself die at the hands of Thanos and realizes this is his fate if he doesn’t change. Yet when He Who Remains shows Loki the script of what’s about to happen, he says “It’s a parlor trick”.

Ummm what?

Loki watched a montage of his future, took it as gospel, became a better person from it and now, all of a sudden, after he’s gone on this massive journey, now you’re a skeptic.

It reminds me of one of my favorite and most hated movies The Polar Express, where a child who doesn’t believe in Santa goes on a magical train ride, meets elves, sees Santa’s workshop yet when he finally sees Santa in person he doesn’t know if he believes.

That’s what happens when you try to shoe horn 3 movies of character development into one montage and then all of a sudden make the lead character go through actual moments of doubt.
