🚨🔥 JUST FINISHED IRONHEART AND I'M OBSESSED 🔥🚨

Marvel did NOT come to play! Ironheart is everything I hoped for and more. Riri Williams is a brilliant, bold, and beautifully layered character who proves that you don't need a suit to have heart - but hers? It's got both.

The writing is sharp, the tech is next-level, and the representation? Chef's kiss. We finally have a young, Black, genius heroine front and center, navigating grief, brilliance, and Black girl magic like a true powerhouse. Every episode had me on the edge of my seat, and the emotional depth caught me off guard in the best way.

Dominique Thorne owns this role. She is Riri. Her performance is magnetic, vulnerable, and fierce - I felt every moment. And the way this series ties into the larger MCU while building something uniquely its own? Perfection.

If you've been waiting for a fresh story, relatable characters, and a show that actually gives a damn - Ironheart delivers. And then some.

💥 10/10. Representation matters. Genius matters. Riri Williams matters.

Suit up, y'all. The future of Marvel is here - and her name is Ironheart. 🖤✨

Good writing, engaging story, interesting central conflict. Overall, this is a better show than a lot of Marvel TV's output. Long takes and solid action. I'd rank it in the top half of shows that Marvel's produced.

Riri, as a character, isn't quite as engaging as some other protagonists but her emotional trauma adds so needed heft to proceedings and the continuing drama surrounding that trauma, while a little hand-wavy at first, adds an interesting wrinkle to the story. Strong supporting cast, fun soundtrack, reasonably designed special effects, and good pacing through at least the first two episodes make this a much better show than some of these reviews would have you believe.

Though we met Riri Williams in the underrated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, we didn't dive deep into who she was as a character.

Here, we get to find out what makes Riri special. She's her own thing, she isn't Tony Stark or Shuri, she is from a poor background and didn't have the resources both Stark and Shuri inherited.

Looking forward to see the rest of the show. It feels like this show has something to say and I think we will have fun time getting there.

Jim Rash was a fun deep cut for a returning character, but mostly excited for the excellent Anthony Ramos to flex his charm as The Hood.

I really wanted to like Ironheart. As a huge fan of the Marvel universe, the concept of a new superhero emerging usually excites me. I appreciate that superhero stories blend science fiction with a touch of the fantastical; the appeal lies in that delicate balance between the unbelievable and the grounded.

However, Ironheart pushes the boundaries too far. The show introduces Riri Williams as a genius who, seemingly overnight, creates a sophisticated, AI-guided flying suit while still in school. This feels far too accelerated and undermines the very premise of a "superhero business" like Stark Industries. It's one thing for a hero to be exceptionally gifted, but when they can replicate, in a dorm room, what takes immense resources and years of development for multi-billion dollar corporations, it breaks the suspension of disbelief essential to the genre.

Absolutely blown away by this first episode. Strong characters brilliant story and tbh it feels like Marvel are back in the room. Boom..!!!!

I had no idea this was even in the pipeline and I have watched every single Marvel iteration. A lot of people feel like the superhero genre is done. Well they are wrong. Snd this is just the first show in a brand new arsenal and I got one can't wait for it all. Maybe I'm a superfan. But I know what is good entertainment and what is rubbish. This is Marvellous. Pun intended 😎 apparently I need to keep writing to convince you this is worth a watch. As a true Trekkie and general scifi aficionado? I am loving this show. Please watch it.
