MimicJarThe news comes despite the fact that Disney announced a Season 2 renewal for the show back in March, roughly two months after it debuted.
I hate this new trend of renewed means maybe.
I hope the characters appear again elsewhere, but even then the style of the show was something new.
The Doorman episode alone makes the series worth watching. (And if you haven’t watched it, and don’t want to, go watch that episode. It’s mostly standalone.)
JusticeForPorygonDisney is allergic to good shows
PronellI loved it, and was under the impression that it had good views.
I’ve heard almost no negative buzz about it as well, so this is kind of perplexing to me.
Also, I love me some Joey Pants.
As Disney is prone to do… if it was good but didn’t make a billion dollars? Can it. Was it good but animated? Live action it. Was it solid staple? Put so much of it out no one wants it anymore…
I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I knew it’d go nowhere. Just like werewolf at night… but whatever. I’m still excited these things I read as a kid get even a mention now… my nephew less so.
And it’s a shame, because I feel like we have missed out on what it is like to be a person in the MCU.
They could have shown us life after the snap but before it was undone. Not anchored in a superhero show but in everyday life.
Every project that seemed it might touch on that has been axed before it could shine.
We could’ve used multiple seasons of Cap and the Winter Soldier, more WonderMan, or even a followup to WandaVision. Show the damned aftermath! It doesn’t need to tie into a future project to satisfy a craving.

Damn, that kinda sucks, I really enjoyed it. To be fair it doesn’t really need a second season, the story was relatively self-contained. But watching Yahya Abdul Mateen and Ben Kingsley together was a joy. They’re both amazing actors.
yeah that was the best marvel show in a while. maybe entirely.
Ben Kingsley is here? Is here still “the mandarin”? I wasn’t very interested in the show, but this interests me.
They made a season of Wonderman?! Disney needs to up their game - particularly on DVD trailers, which are the only ads I still see.
They probably didn’t know how to market it. Barely any purple zappy lights or spandex or or flames or blowout fight scenes.
It was decent. But I think I’m past where even “good” or “unique” MCU stuff interests me much.
Wild. I would expect a TV adaptation of Wonder man would have plenty of purple zappy lights and spandex and fight scenes.
