    The news comes despite the fact that Disney announced a Season 2 renewal for the show back in March, roughly two months after it debuted.

    I hate this new trend of renewed means maybe.

    I hope the characters appear again elsewhere, but even then the style of the show was something new.

    The Doorman episode alone makes the series worth watching. (And if you haven’t watched it, and don’t want to, go watch that episode. It’s mostly standalone.)

    Good job cancelling one of the few great marvel shows to come out recently… there was nothing wrong with it, very entertaining, and a breath of fresh air. I am at least glad it ended in a way that the season is still worth watching as a stand alone I guess. Im assuming a lot of shows do this now since they have no idea if they will ever get that 2nd season.

    I loved it, and was under the impression that it had good views.

    I’ve heard almost no negative buzz about it as well, so this is kind of perplexing to me.

    Also, I love me some Joey Pants.

      As Disney is prone to do… if it was good but didn’t make a billion dollars? Can it. Was it good but animated? Live action it. Was it solid staple? Put so much of it out no one wants it anymore…

      I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I knew it’d go nowhere. Just like werewolf at night… but whatever. I’m still excited these things I read as a kid get even a mention now… my nephew less so.

        And it’s a shame, because I feel like we have missed out on what it is like to be a person in the MCU.

        They could have shown us life after the snap but before it was undone. Not anchored in a superhero show but in everyday life.

        Every project that seemed it might touch on that has been axed before it could shine.

        We could’ve used multiple seasons of Cap and the Winter Soldier, more WonderMan, or even a followup to WandaVision. Show the damned aftermath! It doesn’t need to tie into a future project to satisfy a craving.
