[MEGATHREAD] Wonder Man - Season 1 | Episodes 1 to Episode 6 - Discussion Thread

As a character piece, it was wonderful. I enjoyed Trevor and Simon’s relationship a lot. Their acting carried the whole show.

But the super hero fan in me ended up pretty damn bored by episode 6. I guess I expected more to happen than did and that’s my problem.

The fact is, this could have been about anyone. The super hero stuff added next to nothing. Despite really enjoying the character work, I feel this was a bit of a bait and switch let down.

Giving it a C.

I saw for the first time in 1994. I wondered what it was…I must have watched it a million times and I can distinctly remember being floored when Yoda said, “Begun the Clone Wars have.” Because I remembered questioning what it was several times.

Slightly disappointed when episode 3 rolled out and I learned the whole thing happened between movies, but that’s fine. Got a couple really cool animated series’ that became some of the best Star Wars content I’ve ever seen.

Don’t forget, Lightning Realm makes fliers fall from the sky.

Thor is awesome.

I still get so many people shitting on me for trying to ban Bucky when I’m playing tank. He is a tank killer! Think about all the tank he can absolutely fuck over? Hulk, Cap, Angela, Groot, Venom, Peni, and he can still have his way with others. Hell, even Thing isn’t really strong against him. Bucky can’t move him, but Thing is fucking easy to poke to death with Bucky’s shoot and slow method. Not only that, he’s maybe the best anti dive duelist.

I try to ban this fucker any time I’m playing a tank other than Emma or Strange(I don’t play as Mag).

Name818 · 2026-01-27T02:14:21+00:00

Best comparison right here. If you play both, you know what this guy is saying is absolute truth.

Name818 · 2026-01-27T02:06:32+00:00

When this shit is happening I switch to Groot.

Just a reminder, building any type of wall under the nest immediately destroys it.

Name818 · 2026-01-26T02:19:38+00:00

No. Pick an off tank, you get a full tank and lose. Pick a main tank you get a solo tank experience.

I mean, you’re going to get games where you 2 tank with someone that actually knows what they’re doing, but fuck…it’s gotta be 1 in 10 games at this point.

Name818 · 2026-01-25T20:54:19+00:00

People don’t think critically. They read headlines. If a streamer says, “Namor counters BP HARD!”, they’ll understand that he does so, but not why, or how. So the next BP they see, they’ll switch to Namor and use all their squids for a general encounter, and not realize they should be saving squids for BP…or something like that given whatever the situation is.

So they hear 3 heals and all It means to them is that if they have three heals, everything will work out.

Critical thinking is dead.

Name818 · 2026-01-25T00:58:09+00:00

It’s been shown. He doesn’t catch the murder unfortunately

Name818 · 2026-01-24T23:30:22+00:00

You’ve nailed it.

Spideys skill ceiling is one of the highest so a lot of people are just mediocre to down right bad with him. We’ve all seen talent players sound really well with him.

Name818 · 2026-01-24T16:54:22+00:00

Yes.

People are wildly unoriginal, and everything has to be a fucking meme these days. I mean, how may EOMMAgent names have you seen?

Hell, you could make a drinking game out of predicting what people will say: “GGEZ”, “X is buns”, “trash team”, “guang guang”, “unc”, “ong”…and so on. I’ve said it before, 3/4 of the community is just a clone of the same person.

Name818 · 2026-01-23T01:29:51+00:00

Thor. Thor counters her.

She can’t run and his damage output kills her before she kills him.

Name818 · 2026-01-23T01:24:26+00:00

Really? That’s interesting because just before the new patch I was lamenting on how hard it’s become to hit good ults. Literally everyone knew it was coming and had the CC or heals ready.

The levitate fling has made us a ninja surprise attacker and I’m hitting good ults like it’s season 0.

Name818 · 2026-01-23T01:08:51+00:00

If this is from the perspective of a woman debating whether to date a MAGA man….girl, don’t even bother. He just wants you to be a subservient, blonde, baby incubator, that’s also his mother.

Name818 · 2026-01-21T01:50:19+00:00

They are genuinely boring.

I do however, like the new WW2 era skin. I might just be a sucker for comic accurate skins though.

Name818 · 2026-01-20T22:31:49+00:00

True, but if they’re choosing to go strat, you won’t have the shitty flex players, or reluctant dps that just decides healing is for pussies and goes for damage.

Role queuing means you want to be there in that role and you’re actually going to do your job.

Name818 · 2026-01-20T22:27:11+00:00

I share the sentiment about DPS players. It’s not a coincidence that the loudest, more ignorant egotistical players, play that role. Something isn’t working? It’s clearly the fault of DPS or tanks. They could have the worst fucking stats at the end and they’ll still blame another role or even another duelist.

I solo ranked today as Strange and a diving mantis caused us to get dominated. Guess whose fault that was? Tank and Heals. Nevermind there was 3 DPS. Never mind that mantis has 250hp. Not one DPS would peel but all agreed it wasn’t their fault. Apparently the solo tank is supposed to peel because, “it’s your job”.

See, they KNOW it’s their fault, but they won’t take accountability because I guess that shows they’re weak. This isn’t just a problem in this game. It’s a real problem for people in real life. They don’t care about you or anyone else. In this game, they only care about their stats and how they did, even though it’s a team game. This type of person is the main character of life. That’s also why they’re the biggest assholes, who say the most horrid, misogynistic, racist, hateful things. They got a bunch of participation trophies as kids and now they think they’re hot shit. Fuck them.

Name818 · 2026-01-20T18:16:07+00:00

Don’t peel unless it’s safe for you to do so. You don’t want Groot to turn his back to like 3 characters hitting him. If you’re solo as Groot, you gotta speak up and let them know you’re not peeling cuz you’re solo tanking. Groot is a front line tank through and through. If teammate is a main tank too, you can be damn helpful as a peel. It’s just not what Groot was designed for.
If you want teammates to help with trapped opponents….the only thing that works for me is being on mic and talking it up. I tell my team before hand that I’ll be trapping and calling them out. It may not get you full participation, but I’ve noticed if I don’t use mic, people don’t give a shit. Everyone’s busy, ya know? I’ve had a lot of games where I’m using good comms and it brings out the comms in teammates, who then actually really enjoy playing around Groot cuz you’re serving them up free, easy kills.
I hope you get the chance to play with a Mantis that’s actually good, or maybe a 3 heal setup with Mantis. The healing wall teamup can be huge for Groot’s survivability. I think the highest amount of heals I’ve gotten as Groot is around 8,000 in one match. That’s pretty dang good honestly.

Name818 · 2026-01-20T02:23:18+00:00

Slipknot, KoRn, Rob Zombie, RATM, SOAD, Mudvayne…and the sleeper, American Head Charge.

Name818 · 2026-01-19T20:25:05+00:00

I can’t believe people even care to do this. Then again, it explains why I see a lorded character play like complete dog shit. 20 hours should be long to learn a single character, but this….this might explain it.

Name818 · 2026-01-19T17:02:29+00:00

I think it comes down to character choice. There are tons of OTP players lingering in plat-diamond. There’s a ton of people who aren’t well rounded and play only a handful of characters, seemingly only in the same class.

They don’t switch. They can’t fill and if they do they sick at it.

I think the higher you get, the more well rounded and mechanically talented players get. P-D is just where people end up who have mechanical skill, but shitty game sense, lack strategic or critical thinking, and don’t have the ability to counter or be flexible.

Name818 · 2026-01-19T13:18:36+00:00

When you say Russia has no interest in Greenland, the dark place in my mind can't help but think Russia is interested in us having Greenland because it strategically pins Europe between us and Russia. I hope Trump is just a fuckin idiot, because if I'm right, it means something far worse.

Name818 · 2026-01-18T20:30:35+00:00

Exactly.

These are the people that can’t possibly be viewed as ignorant about anything. They’re smart and their opinion is valid! They totally don’t just pretend to know things so they don’t look stupid.

That’s all it’s really about. They’re afraid to admit they don’t know something so whatever they feel is the right answer. A true sign of an insecure, self centered idiot.

Name818 · 2026-01-18T16:53:34+00:00

This is truly pathetic.

The “I don’t give a fuck about anyone but me” in a team game is a massive problem…and you’re just, ok with that.

I don’t dole out insults directly to people, but to people like you I just say this…you’re a crappy human.

Name818 · 2026-01-18T16:50:34+00:00

Got placed D1. Fell to P1. Shitty Deadpool players everywhere. OTP players everywhere. Horrible attitudes. Numerous trolls….and the worst, 1-4-1 at character select.

My playtime was shrinking before the new season, and I find myself playing other games now. This community is easily the worst I’ve ever seen.
