Wonder Man Is So LA

 

The New Marvel Spotlight series Wonder Man was just released with all eight episodes on Disney+. The new series is more the struggle of an actor in Hollywood/ LA than super hero show. We really liked it, even for the lack of superheroing. It's also hard to believe the lead is the same guy who played Black Manta for DC.

What we really liked was a pretty realistic look at LA and various famous places around town. Every episode might be a spot you've been like the Eagle Theatre better known as Vidiots right now or might double-take like an airport lobby that unmistakably was the LA Convention Center for anyone whose walked it's halls.

So watching it, if an LA native or transplant, adds another layer. 

Also, really made us hanker for some chamoy peach rings.

Two episodes even bear the names of SoCal surrounding cities known for being a bit further out there with Paicoma and Yucca Valley, close to Joshua Tree.

So, give the show a shot, just don't expect any changes to the Marvel Universe. 

 

Oh, and if you want more on Doorman, he sort of has his own episode, Marvel has his comic story condensed and a new digital comic for you.
