Ironheart is here — and halfway through the show, it’s already a disaster. From incoherent motivations to deeply flawed morals, this isn’t just another Marvel misfire… it’s a cautionary tale about what happens when storytelling values fame over growth.
In this video, I break down everything wrong with Ironheart so far — the bad writing, the bizarre plot, and the deeply unlikable Riri Williams. We also dive into the potential villain arc of The Hood (Parker), predict what’s coming next, and ask the real question: What even is a hero anymore?
If you’re tired of Disney’s shallow storytelling, forced subversions, and morally hollow leads, you’re in the right place.
