I guess I'm projecting too much of my own ideas onto Wander over Yonder. They could have had a real cliff hanger with Sylvia seriously considering getting back together with Ryder.
Spoiler Alert!
Disney might have added more depth if Ryder did have some redeeming values, instead of being a selfish jerk. The "B" story could have been Wander's comical attempts at being the tough guy to win Sylvia back. Wander could have teamed up with the giant space slug that was sneaking up behind him to eat him.

But we have learned more about Sylvia, after seeing "The Rider" episode. She
was turning into quite an outlaw after leaving her relatively happy
world of Marshfalaffle Apple Meadow. But being with Wander let's her
share in his magic, and so she can tolerate most of his goofy antics. For instance, being decorated with jingle
bells as they deliver gifts throughout the galaxy.
Wander is still a mystery, and maybe he should be left that way.
It leaves some things to the viewers imagination, and makes the show more fun.
Happy Holidays folks, I'm still trying to get into the spirit out here.
Trell deserves the credit. But this scenario could be totally insane: It would take the Avengers, Warlock, Captain Mar-Vell, the Defenders and Spider-Man to handle this crisis. Okay, and the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. too.
(And it would probably have a cameo by Stan Lee as well.)

Thanos would have no little dog Max to serve as a moral compass, or as a witness to his Holiday perfidy. Instead, Pip the Troll would probably be his unwilling servant. (Pip would be perfect as second banana with his smart remarks and stinky cigars.)
Will Thanos destroy Whoville? Would he incinerate little Cindy-Lou Who? Does he even enjoy "roast beast"? Hey, I'm just trying to get in the Holiday spirit here. It's been so hot and dry in southern Cal. Stay tuned!

In the end, it's Santa who gains the Infinity Gauntlet, and puts everything back to normal.
Finally saw Big Hero 6, so I'm not going to worry about spoilers here.

It's been a crazy autumn, so I'll be commenting and updating on this article, and others as I update this blog.
Update: When I get a chance before the Holidays.
Update: 12-29-14, okay, I'll say the film is the Iron Giant meets the Incredibles.
Troubled kid meets special robot, and overcomes adversity. I appreciated the work and design that went into Big Hero 6. But the formula of the plot wouldn't let me fall in love with the film.
