Successful Marvel properties (comics, movies, toilet paper, etc) center on the characters. The plot, humor, action, all of it in the best they offer is driven by the characters and their motivations.

The Wonder sets out right front in telling the audience that they are watching fiction, a trickery, yet does that make it real?
The classic story of four sisters is condensed and twisted to make a surprising fresh take but seems to leave out much of the relationships that made the story strong.
