Who is Wonder Man? The Marvel character that has changed everything on Disney+ compared to the comics

If you’re not interested in Marvel and the MCU, I guess “Wonder Man” sounds to you like a kind of parody of Wonder Woman. And in reality, his origin has a lot to do with the DC heroine, but over the years he has gained his own little space within the comics

If you’re not into Marvel and the MCU, I suppose “Wonder Man” sounds like a kind of parody of Wonder Woman. And in reality, his origin has a lot to do with the DC heroine, but over the years he has carved out his own niche in superhero comics. Now he debuts on Disney+ with an 8-episode series that will have a few people cheering with joy and the majority wondering, “Excuse me, what is this?”. More than 60 years illuminate a character you hadn’t heard of until now, but I assure you he has a more or less fascinating story. That said, it has little or nothing to do with the one Disney has invented.

Avengers, against the wonder!

In the early 1960s, Stan Lee and his loyal artists were trying to figure out what their new shared universe was all about, which began to differentiate itself from the competition with more adult plots (within reason) and characters that evolved over the issues instead of remaining fossilized in time, something that Superman and Batman had been experiencing for years. In just three years, since 1961, The House of Ideas created the Fantastic Four, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Wasp, Doctor Strange, and the X-Men. The creative torrent became so immense that in early 1964, they brought together five of these heroes to form a group, like a bargain version of the Justice League, which went down in history as the Avengers.

When Wonder Man faced the Avengers, they were barely a proper group: they had only had nine adventures, and Lee didn’t know what to do with them. In fact, in this first appearance as a villain, Simon Williams dies because no one believed he could have a future in the publisher. However, four years later we learned that the Avengers had stored his mind in a computer (it’s comics, just accept it) and another four years later he appeared in a coma.

The first pure and hard appearance of Wonder Man in the modern era of Marvel occurred in issue 131 of Avengers, when he was finally resurrected. A year later, he would regain all his powers and, in fact, he would become a member of the Avengers shortly after, in 1977. And do you know why it took 13 years for him to return? Well, of course, due to a complaint from DC, which accused Marvel of confusing people with Wonder Woman (whose first comic is from 1941) and threatened to sue them. Lee left him dead until DC did the same as they did a few years later, introducing Power Girl after Marvel did so with Power Man. Oops.

In any case, Simon Williams has been growing over the years. In fact, he has been part of three other teams of Avengers, he has become a Hollywood star (in that he is similar to the Wonder Man from Disney+), it was discovered that his brother was the supervillain known as Reaper, he fell in love with the Scarlet Witch, and even ended up fighting against the Avengers themselves, convinced that they do more harm than good in the world. Oh, yes! And he ended up fused with Rogue, allowing him to use her powers.

Come on, if you were looking for the mythical character from The Avengers in the new Marvel series, try again. However, you might find something unexpected: an alliance with the false Mandarin that is going to be quite the talk… before Avengers: Doomsday arrives and sends any other idea about the MCU to hell, of course.

Disney+ is already experimenting with vertical video, and it's not the only one

Subscription video platforms are undergoing a major transformation, with a clear trend towards the creation of microseries and content in vertical format. The latter, popularized by social networks like TikTok and Instagram, is being adopted by major OTT (Over The Top) services as part of their strategy to attract and retain user attention. Disney+ has been the latest to announce its commitment to this format. During a presentation at CES in Las Vegas, the company confirmed that it will launch a section of vertical videos later this year, with the intention of turning […]

Subscription video platforms are undergoing a transformation, with a clear trend towards the creation of microseries and content in vertical format. The latter, popularized by social networks like TikTok and Instagram, is being adopted by major OTT (Over The Top) services as part of their strategy to attract and retain user attention.

Vertical Fever

Disney+ has been the latest to announce its commitment to this format. During a presentation at CES in Las Vegas, the company confirmed that it will launch a section for vertical videos later this year, with the intention of making the platform a daily destination for its subscribers. Erin Teague, EVP of product at Disney, emphasized that these videos are designed to fit into users’ daily habits: “they are snackable experiences, short and bite-sized”. The idea is not just to offer teasers of their longer content, but to integrate these clips and original microseries organically within the platform.

For its part, Netflix has also begun to explore the world of vertical videos, albeit more cautiously. The platform introduced teasers in its app last year and has expressed its desire to continue experimenting. However, it has been careful not to copy TikTok’s style, preferring to proceed with caution in this area, with the intention of offering content that complements the overall user experience without trying to cover everything at once.

With these initiatives, both Disney+ and Netflix seem to be aligning with modern video consumption trends, where brevity and accessibility are key. The implementation of vertical videos could change not only the way users interact with content but also the way it is conceived and produced within streaming platforms.

The new Marvel series for Disney+ already has a new and shocking trailer

The Marvel Zombies series will premiere on September 24 on Disney+, marking a milestone in Marvel’s history as its first foray into animation aimed at an adult audience. This new project has generated great anticipation, especially due to its content, which incorporates violence and darker themes than those typically found in the Marvel universe. Marvel braaaains!

The series Marvel Zombies will premiere on September 24 on Disney+, marking a milestone in Marvel’s history as its first foray into animation aimed at an adult audience. This new project has generated great anticipation, especially due to its content, which incorporates violence and darker themes than those typically found in the Marvel universe.

Marvelous brains!

According to the official trailer, which has already started circulating on various platforms, the series comes with a clear rating warning, being labeled as TV-MA. This indicates that the content is intended exclusively for an adult audience, a significant move in the context of the company that has historically focused its productions on a family or youth audience.

The rhetorical question that guides the trailer, “Who will save us from our heroes?”, hints at a dark twist in the narrative, presenting an intriguing approach to the iconic Marvel characters, albeit in a post-apocalyptic setting where heroes face a serious dilemma. This four-episode series is based on a popular comic book storyline where superheroes become zombies, offering fans a fresh and bold narrative.

As the series approaches its premiere, there is a growing interest in how these characters will develop and what aspects of violence and morality will be explored. The premiere of Marvel Zombies could represent a paradigm shift in the way Marvel approaches animation and bolder narratives, setting a new standard for future productions in this format.

La Gen Z no encaja con Disney, y está buscando algo que vaya más allá de ‘Star Wars’ y Marvel

Disney se encuentra en una encrucijada creativa, ya que el estudio busca contenido novedoso que atraiga a hombres jóvenes de la Generación Z, entre 13 y 28 años. Según informes, el liderazgo de Disney ha solicitado a los creativos de Hollywood propuestas de películas originales, dejando de lado los remakes y reboots que han caracterizado la estrategia de la compañía en años recientes. Este movimiento marca un cambio significativo en la forma en que Disney se quiere conectar con este público específico.

¿Qué le gusta a la chavalería?

A pesar de su robusto catálogo, que incluye numerosas series de Marvel y spin-offs de Star Wars en Disney Plus, el estudio ha visto una caída en los ingresos de su reciente lanzamiento, Los 4 Fantásticos: Primeros Pasos. Con una recaudación de poco más de 470 millones de dólares a nivel mundial, esta cifra se considera baja en comparación con el éxito de la franquicia de Marvel, a pesar de contar con una calificación del 86% en Rotten Tomatoes.

David Greenbaum, presidente de Disney Live Action Studios y 20th Century Studios, ha sido designado para encontrar este nuevo contenido que logre resonar con el público masculino joven. Sin embargo, la misión no es sencilla. Algunos analistas sugieren que Disney necesite un gran éxito viral, similar a un potencial Minecraft, para recapturar la atención de este segmento demográfico.

Aunque enfrenta desafíos, Disney también tiene motivos para mantener la esperanza, dado que ha tenido éxitos recientes como Inside Out 2 y la reimaginación de Lilo & Stitch. Además, el estudio anticipa lanzamientos prometedores como Avatar 3 y Zootrópolis 2, aunque estos títulos no parecen estar dirigidos específicamente a adolescentes varones. A medida que Disney refina su enfoque, la atención sobre cómo logrará atraer a estos jóvenes se intensificará en los próximos meses.

The most interesting thing about the ‘Alien’ series has nothing to do with xenomorphs

After a captivating anticipation and a veil of secrecy, Alien: Planeta Tierra, the ambitious science fiction series created by Noah Hawley has finally arrived, reinterpreting the iconic Alien universe in striking ways. In its two premiere episodes, fans of the franchise experience intense moments of action and horror, comparable to the most iconic parts of the saga, with xenomorphs that surpass even the creatures from the recent Alien: Romulus.

Alien 3, Humans 0

The plot centers around a human hybrid named Wendy, played by Sydney Chandler, who possesses the body of a young adult but the mentality of a child. Created by the enigmatic Boy Kavalier, played by Samuel Blenkin, Wendy and other hybrids are presented as “The Lost Children,” evoking references to the eternal figure of Peter Pan. Kavalier, a character reminiscent of contemporary figures like Mark Zuckerberg, seeks “to exploit human potential” through his questionable methods, raising interesting ethical dilemmas about what it means to cure diseases.

The series promulgates a disturbing duality between the story of the hybrids and the horror represented by the xenomorphs. While the alien danger is undeniably shocking, the development of characters like Wendy, who becomes a first responder after a ship accident, adds emotional content that sometimes overshadows the typical action of the franchise. Wendy’s personal quest for her brother, a doctor trapped in this situation, adds a layer of depth to the narrative, generating a sense of emotional connection that contrasts with the terror of the xenomorphs.

With seven episodes remaining, it remains to be seen how Alien: Planet Earth will balance these two seemingly opposite narratives and how it will evolve throughout its first season.
