Ironheart Review - It's NOT The Next Iron Man

 Nor is it supposed to be

Excelsior! I am Axat the Marveler, and this is my review of the last Phase 5 show, Iron Heart


I want to say I like it, but it seems too rushed and the main character seems stubborn


Iron Man was stubborn too, and there are parallels drawn between both characters


Speaking of Iron Man kicking off the MCU, let me check 1 May 2008 17 years ago


A lot of time and a lot of audience saturation has happened since RDJ Junior


And now he will be back as Doctor von Doom in Avengers: Doomsday


I like the pop culture references, and Xavier’s Save Earth hoodie


But the plot moves somewhat haphazardly and conveniently


Riri always seems on the verge of tears - that’s not good


As for fighting magic with magic, “there’s a cost”


And the cost is AI NATALIE, in this case


The last episode is named the past is the past, and Sacha Baron Cohen finally appears - wow


I’ve appreciated his acting ability ever since his Ali G in Da Hood days, all the way to The Spy


His Mephisto demon uses standard devil barter to trade a soul for a favor, or a desire, actually


But as expected, Riri doesn’t fall for the trap - or does she? Overall this series is quite uneven


Spider-Man and Doctor Strange was tech side-by-side with magic, this is a combo hit - or miss


The mid-credits scene builds on the magic, but there are more loose ends than a frayed quilt


Overall, I’m just left waiting for the new Phase Six to begin with Fantastic Four - First Steps


Check out my other Marvel show reviews, Marvel movie reviews, not really breakdowns


But more about fandom and appreciation of imagination, I am Axat once again


Thank you so much for watching, Namaste
