The pilot to one of the MCU’s best shows is now free on YouTube

Marvel Studios and Disney Plus likely always knew the Marvel Cinematic Universe series Wonder Man was going to be a harder sell than some past MCU shows. It’s based on a fairly obscure character with nebulous powers. It’s part of the “Marvel Spotlight” series of more grounded, character-based stories with minimal contact with the larger MCU. And it’s more about an out-of-work actor trying to navigate his own anxiety than about city-threatening supervillains or effects-heavy battles. (Granted, part of the protagonist’s anxiety is caused by his uncontrolled superpowers…)
