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
