My people, make I yarn una correct gist about di new Marvel series wey don land for Disney+, wey dem dey call Wonder Man. Na so my eyes dey shine, because dis one dey different from di usual superhero palava wey we dey see.
Wetin concern us for di show e be say di main character, Simon Williams, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, na struggling actor wey dey try land big role for Hollywood. But no be only acting matter dey ground here, wahala dey for him superpowers wey fit scatter mat as e no fit show dem for film because of ‘Doorman Clause’ wey gree no allow superheroes work for di industry. Chai! Talk about wahala!
Di series no get all di usual high-octane action wey we dey expect from Marvel movies. Instead, e follow di sweet, sometimes komedi flow of friendship as Simon dey navigate his career and personal life. Him don dey overthink tin many times, him love life go dey suffer, and even di small actors role wey dem give him go dey slip away. Na wetin we dey call classic ‘overthinker’ case!
As e go, e meet Trevor Slattery, wey Ben Kingsley dey act, na him dey come bring sense for Simon life. Dis Trevor na di same actor wey play ‘di Mandarin’ for Iron Man 3, and e don turn comic relief for di show. Di bond wey dem form dey shine pass di usual Marvel tin, and e dey interesting to see how dem go dey balance di comedy and di deep friendship vibes.
Di gist wey go interesting pass be say, as Simon dey pursue his big break for Wonder Man movie, he dey also face di challenge of hiding him powers, as e fit destroy everything around am when he vex. E don turn like say, dis show na more about friendship, struggle, and di comedy wey dey happen as two people wey suppose follow script dey find dem way through di Hollywood madness.
As we dey watch di series, e go make sense say dis one no dey follow di usual Marvel Cinematic Universe pattern. Na more about di human side of things as dem dey focus on how Simon dey try make legacy for himself with no superhero wahala to clear dem off road. Di characters no dey follow ‘who-go-kill-who’ stereotype, na love and friendship matter dey reign.
Na so e be as we dey ginger for all eight episodes wey don release together. Make you grab your popcorn, settle down, and enjoy di ride through di highs and lows of Hollywood life with Simon and Trevor. E go sweet!
