I'd seen a lot of negative reviews of 'Agatha All Along'. But I decided to give it a chance. And liked it. So, I thought I'd do the same with 'Ironheart'. Not quite the same.

"Agatha" has a complex moral code. Which is difficult to understand. And might be (fairly) interpreted as "evil". "Ironheart" is just... evil. All she cares about is herself.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. I think the best way to discuss/review is to go character-by-character.

Stane Solo
- He is the only significant white male in the story. And, and you would expect, he's a punching bag. Disney requires that every (side) character be written in a way that they could be completely cut out. And that's exactly how he feels. You could have cut all his scenes, and the story would remain unchanged.

Slug
No one really cares about this character. Let's be honest. But it was a super-fat white dude in the comics. Casting a non-binary, ultra-thin black dude is ridiculous. I'd evaluate their acting ability, but they are in the show for about 5 minutes.

Blood Brothers
Oh, I'm sorry "Blood Siblings". Because that makes sense. Disney spends MILLIONS on these shows. They couldn't afford red makeup?

The Clown
I suppose it was kinda accurate. But the character was tragically underused.

The Hood
The race-swap was unneeded. His lust for power is not from "daddy issues". It's more of an inferiority complex. It wasn't a horrible representation, but it wasn't good.

Riri Williams
Firstly, a legacy character is always going to make people angry. It doesn't matter how you spin it. People will always want the original. They liked the original for a reason. Inventing a replacement is something everyone sees as a replacement.

Secondly, she's unlikable. She spends the entire show working for an obviously evil criminal organization. Then ends with making a deal with an obviously evil entity.

The show is written as if I'm supposed to identify or relate to her. No way. If this character sat down next to me at a bar? I'd just get up and leave after a few minutes.

Disney seems to love hiring talentless actors to fill roles. 'Ironheart' is a great example. None of these people should be cast in anything ever again.
