Wonderman
Wonderman is a seriously good project and the reason I broke up the reviews like this is because people are forgetting new releases too fast. Social media has fried the brain of the general public and y'alls attention spans are dust. So I drag things out to force you to think about them in a more in depth way so that they will hopefully stick in your brain longer. It's why I really think ALL shows need to be released weekly. The binge format needs to die.

Wonderman
Wonderman’s first half was truly next level for Marvel. For a company that relies so heavily on a formula and on nostalgia every time they do something different it's great, so why exactly don’t they do it more? Everyone agreed WandaVision was incredible and the response to Wonderman has been positive as well. Not sure why that wouldn’t be enough for them to continue to branch out.

Film Review: The Marsh King's Daughter
Nothing will quite capture the feeling of first watching, The Marsh King's Daughter drunk in a dark living room, my friend passed out on her couch beside me, a stripper pole partially obscuring my view. More than a little tipsy and annoyed that my friend had roped me into watching this psychological thriller I'd never heard of before falling asleep on me ten minutes in, I got my snacks and hunkered down. Within the first few minutes of The Marsh King's Daughter though, the snacks were forgotten and I was hooked. Later on, I was grateful my friend was sleeping so I could process all of the messy emotions the film brought out in me in drunken semi-privacy.

Wonderman
I would love to know how many people googled “Wonderman comics”, or “Wonderman powers” after the show dropped on Disney+. They were intentionally vague and they really separated themselves from the source material. And quite frankly that was a good decision. Because as far as comic book characters go Wonderman really isn’t that impressive or interesting. But who is he in the comics? Well we know I have the answers so here we go.
