Ironheart

It looks slick but it suffers from the same issue all the new marvel stuff does.

It's emotionally flat as a pancake and doesn't connect with the people watching.

It makes the same mistakes of going for making a statement at the cost of the story and characters.

Neither the character development or the story are developed remotely enough to make us care and in fact do the opposite much of the time.

Someone likely realized this which is why it got shelved so long.

It's not acolyte or snow white levels of bad its just meh.

It's a shame really the people involved deserved better but they may have already know it was bad.

Truly disappointing, could they not find a better actress for the main character?!? The screenwriters were either lazy, bored, or 9 year olds.

Some poor choices of supporting actors too. Dialogue is diabolical.

The suit looks good and the visual effects are good with some nice touches in the choreography and music is tastefully selected, but overall it does not save the train wreck of a series this is.

The imaginary Tony Stark would be spinning in his grave, I know Stan Lee would be - a poor homage to Iron Man.

Probably the worst of the bunch, truly bad taste. I have seen TV adverts better written and executed.

The moral of this show, is you don't have to earn anything.

Riri is amazing, apparently, because everyone says so, but why? Nobody knows, just keep saying she's amazing and it'll stick.

She didn't earn the suit, she's not strong, funny or cool. She's just feels like an NPC who stumbled upon Excalibur laying on the floor and claims she's the king of the world. She helps her fellow students cheat on their tests and projects, seeking her out just to use her to not fail. So she didn't earn anything and she's surrounded by people who didn't earn anything, in fact everyone is just ripping off everyone else, just like Ironheart is a ripoff of Ironman.

Imagine if you went to the valedictorian of your class and said "make this work for me or I'll fail". What kind of message does that send the audience? That it's okay to get by in life if you just let somebody else do your job for you?? That's insane! Tony Stark was the head of a massive successful business and one of the smartest minds on the planet and he didn't need everyone telling him he's amazing. He built a giant mechanical suit in a cave with junk! He made a tiny reactor to keep his heart from getting shredded! Riri simply stole everything! It's like saying "I'm an architect" just because you can put legos together. Awfully terrible start to a mediocre show.

This show suffered from writers who don't understand what makes something dramatic and or interesting, so the writing just drones on and on and on with underwhelming scene after underwhelming scene. There are so many opportunities to make this extraordinary but these people would have to understand enough about creating drama to know how to do that, and they simply do not. This is at every turn, in every scene, and on and on. They seem to believe that savvy tech, and concepts alone will make it interesting, but it doesn't.

I hope they get better writers, soon too, because the basic premise perhaps could be interesting, if . . .

The word superhero has lost all meaning. This character is just a selfish thief. Everything she does serves only herself. She doesn't do anything good for anyone and the story is a compilation of stereotypes. Right off the bat it leans into her being a bad person and feigning decency. I can't believe this got made.

I won't be finishing this series, i have no one to root for. How can you make a protagonist that is so unlikable and expect a different result?

I hope this is a wake up call for the studio but I doubt it. They keep churning out this processed slop and attack the fans when they don't like it.
