Most fascinating factor about Ironheart is how uninterested it’s about asking if Riri has a mantle to dwell as much as. It’s the fitting alternative and tbh, I watched wishing this thread continued throughout different initiatives.

Anthony Ramos is okay, fascinating, surprisingly optimistic ending.

#Ironheart is certainly one of my favourite Marvel exhibits. It blends a lot of what we love in regards to the MCU so seamlessly with unbelievable characters, performances, and magnificence.

IRONHEART warmed my coronary heart. Dominique Thorne brings Riri Williams to life with layers that make her a lot extra. She’s nonetheless our extremely sensible woman from Chicago however there may be lots of depth to Riri’s story and the present has a very emotional arc and an iconic vibe to it. pic.twitter.com/8SWLGuUXqn

#Ironheart is a little bit of a multitude—nevertheless it means nicely. Dominique Thorne is nice, grounding the story with actual emotion as Riri builds one thing new from grief.

#Ironheart would not break any new floor with its story (and the much less stated about The Hood’s crew, the higher). Nonetheless, it is an gratifying trip buoyed by stellar performances from Dominique Thorne, Alden Ehrenreich, Anthony Ramos, and Lyric Ross. DON’T MISS THE FINALE! 👀 pic.twitter.com/otgDMsqP0d
