Wonder Man review: A Marvel must-watch for everyone but MCU fans

But that’s exactly what makes Wonder Man one of the most compelling, purely enjoyable shows in Marvel Studios’ roster. It isn’t aimed at same-old same-old hero-villain clashes, or at teeing up the next saga. Co-creators Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and Andrew Guest (Community), operating under the “more grounded stories with less homework” Marvel Spotlight banner, offer up the rarest thing in the Marvel playbook: a story that’s unique, personal, character-focused, and designed to stand on its own.
