Positive Points

The trailer's greatest asset is its novelty. In an era when the superhero genre feels homogenized and basic, Wonder Man appears self-aware in ways that few superhero stories have been. The humor is, at least to me, witty and character-driven; Cretton balanced the absurd comedy with the show's emotional weight wonderfully. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is so sharp with his charisma and just enough nuances that viewers feel a sort of desperation coming from this artist living in a fame-obsessed culture. Ben Kingsley's cameo as Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3 is delightful. He nails the comedic timing. I also think the visual styling, mixing the behind-the-scenes aspect with the comically flashy Marvel embellishments significantly enhances the viewing experience.

Negative Points

The meta angle, however, might be tricky. If it does not land, it might come off as self-indulgent, in-joke or even alienating for casual MCU audiences. Some audiences may be put off if the tone is too satirical to be taken seriously as a superhero project. And of course, there is always the risk that the commentary on superhero "fatigue" may come off as tired/overdone.

Overall: Wonder Man looks like it could be Marvel's boldest and most experimental show to date — part Hollywood satire, part superhero parody, and part character study. If it lives up to the trailer, Wonder Man could provide the MCU the self-reflecting, adventurous shock it desperately could use right now.
