The show is already a hit, with both critics and audiences loving it. It has a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest-rated MCU series on Disney+. This is a big deal because it shows Marvel is taking risks and telling new kinds of stories.

Simon's future in the MCU is unclear. The show doesn't hint at a second season or his role in the Avengers. This leaves fans wondering what's next for Wonder Man.
