Marvel Television's Wonder Man All eight episodes now streaming Only on Disney Plus So aliens are slowly taking over the world. And this man is the only one who can save us. Let me explain. Now the man's name is Vince Lee.

He's Canadian, he works odd jobs here and there to pay his bills. He's a normal guy. And then one day, Vince starts hearing a voice. And it's the voice of his God. And I don't know what his God looks like, but I assume he looks like this. So his God tells him, Vince Lee,

you've been chosen for a special mission. And he basically tells him that he's new Jesus and that aliens, extraterrestrials, are invading Earth and that it's now his job to protect all of humanity from this invasion. But most importantly, these aliens aren't little green men like you'd see in the movies. These aliens look like real people. Now, after Vince Lee talks to his God, he doesn't go and get evaluated by a mental health professional.

No, no. Instead, he starts doing what it tells him to do. His God tells him to travel across the country looking for these aliens. And I guess when your God tells you to travel across the country looking for extraterrestrials, you travel across the country looking for extraterrestrials. What else you're gonna do? And so that's what he does. He travels across the country looking for these aliens, sometimes by bus, sometimes on foot,

but he'll disappear for like days at a time while he goes on these missions. Now I don't know if he actually finds any aliens while he's out on these missions. I just know that he's gone for long periods of time and people around him think it's strange. Here's the thing, though, Vince Lee has a wife, and his wife, she's very concerned about him. I mean, he claims his God is talking to him, and his wife is also frustrated with him, mostly because he keeps disappearing for days at a time, and she isn't entirely sure as to why. So, inevitably, this leads to problems in their marriage, and they're fighting all the time, and she eventually has had enough.

And she's like, I am out. And she leaves him, they divorce. And they try and reconcile and work it out, but ultimately it just doesn't work. And this is, I'm sure, devastating for Vince Lee. But he's still focused on his mission. Stop the alien invasion. So then, at some point,

Vince Lee goes to the store and he buys himself a buck knife in case he needs to protect himself from the extraterrestrials. Then, I guess his god comes to him and tells him, Vince Lee, it's time to start your mission. And Vince Lee's like, all right. And so he does what his god says, and he heads to the bus terminal, and he boards a Greyhound bus. And he chills there quietly as the bus travels from Edmonton over to Erickson. And there, in Erickson, his god comes to him again, and he tells him to get off the bus.

So he gets off the bus, and he spends the night sleeping on a bench. And in the morning, he gets on another Greyhound bus that passes through. And he eventually ends up sitting at the back of the bus next to this guy. His name's Tim. And Tim, he's just tired. He's sitting there with his headphones on. He's been traveling 18 hours. So pretty quickly, Tim's asleep.

And Vince Lee, he just sits there, enjoying the ride, waiting, wondering if his guide is going to come to him and tell him what to do. Until. Now at some point on this trip, Vensley's god starts talking to him once again, and he tells him what he wants him to do. He tells him that the guy sitting next to him, Tim, is one of those aliens, and that Vince Lee needs to unalive him. And he needs to do it quickly before Tim wakes up and unalives him. And so, Vensley listens to his god and he reaches into his bag and he pulls out that buck knife.

And he turns to Tim and then bam, he stabs him. And then he stabs him again. And then again and again and again. It is brutal. And the people on the bus, they notice this chaos, and they start freaking out and screaming, like, stop the bus. Someone's getting stabbed. And the bus driver hears the screaming, and so they pull over, they open the doors,

and all the passengers run off the bus. Meanwhile, poor Tim, he's trying to fight off Vince Lee, and he manages to break away and get into the aisle, but Vince Lee tackles him to the aisle floor, and he just keeps stabbing him again and again. And he eventually stabs him over 50. 50 times until he's unalived. Then, Vensley's god comes to him again, and he tells him that he needs to decapitate Tim, cut his head off.

And so, that's what Vince Lee does. Not only that, he holds the head up to the bus window so that all the passengers outside can see. And now eventually, Canadian police show up, and they can see from outside on the inside of the bus, Vince is pacing back and forth, carrying Tim's head. And then it gets worse. Allegedly, Vince Lee's god comes to him one more time, and he tells him, you need to eat Tim. Because he says, if he doesn't eat Tim, then Tim will come back to life and attack him. So then Vince Lee, he uses his buck knife, and he starts removing Tim's body parts and consuming them one by one. His eyes, his nose. I won't get into it. It's gross. And if that isn't crazy enough, during all that,

police are still waiting outside the bus. And they've got the whole bus surrounded. And by this time, they've called in negotiators and a special tactical unit. They got this area on lockdown. But for some reason, I don't know why they don't shoot Vince Lee. Like they don't even shoot at him. They don't bust into the bus and take him down with force. I mean, maybe they're just being polite because they're Canadian. I don't know. But if I could. think of any instance where it would be justified for police to use force, it would be this instance. But they don't. They try and negotiate with him to come out. But of course, Vince Lee is like, fuck you. He doesn't listen. I mean, he's busy trying to stop the alien invasion.

And again, I'm not necessarily in favor of police just shooting people, no questions asked. So I'm not saying that they should do that. But in this particular instance, they could, at any time all rush in and overpower him. They could tear gas him or tase him. I mean, the guy decapitated someone and is ingesting him little by little. Maybe it's time to rush in and take control of the situation. And so this standoff goes on for nearly four hours.

And finally, Vince Lee, he gets an idea. He's gonna jump out a window in the back of the bus and he's gonna escape. So then, pow, he breaks out a window and he jumps out of the bus. And then of course, the second he jumps out that window, bam, police immediately arrest him. And I don't have a mugshot of him, but here's what he looks like in real life. And here's some footage of him being escorted by police to the hospital. And by the way, police found Tim's nose, tongue, and ear in Vince Lee's pocket.

Anyway, here's the worst part about this whole thing. The court ends up making Vince Lee get a psych evaluation. And of course, the guy has obvious mental health issues. I mean, he's talking to his god, he's chasing aliens, and he's ultimately diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. And because of that, when he goes on trial, he's found not criminally responsible on account of his mental disorder. And he gets sentenced to a psychiatric hospital, and they get him treatment, and they put him on meds. And over time, he allegedly does start to get better. And he stops hearing voices and stuff.

And then, after seven years in this season, psych facility, Vince Lee's doctors believe that he's no longer a danger to society. So they let him out. So after all that, Vince Lee is now a free man.
