The word superhero has lost all meaning. This character is just a selfish thief. Everything she does serves only herself. She doesn't do anything good for anyone and the story is a compilation of stereotypes. Right off the bat it leans into her being a bad person and feigning decency. I can't believe this got made.
I won't be finishing this series, i have no one to root for. How can you make a protagonist that is so unlikable and expect a different result?
I hope this is a wake up call for the studio but I doubt it. They keep churning out this processed slop and attack the fans when they don't like it.

I'll start off with 1 positive: visual effects were not too bad. Um, now here we go...the acting was horrendous, the storyline appears to be written by a 5 year old; predictable and basically non interesting to watch. It's frustrating to me that people got paid for putting out this garbage. I can't imagine that this was screened in advance for consumer feedback. If you write garbage, then that is what you will see on the screen. I think that any run of the mill marvel super fan could have put together a way better storyline that what was produced. The acting is terrible, I don't expect this series to continue...
What makes it worse is the show's attempt to erase Tony's legacy rather than celebrate it. Ironheart doesn't treat Tony Stark as a mentor, a blueprint, or even a point of philosophical reflection. Instead, it treats him as an outdated relic-a mere footnote in Riri's story. That's insulting to both the character and the fans who watched him grow over more than a decade of films.
And I get it-new characters need to rise. The torch must be passed. But you don't honor the past by pretending it was irrelevant. You build on it. You respect it. You show that your new hero has something to learn from those who came before. Ironheart skips all that. It acts like it doesn't need the foundation that was built before it. And because of that, it feels hollow.

Honestly, I'm still scratching my head wondering how Marvel even let this one see the light of day. It felt less like a compelling superhero story and more like a bad high school drama trying to masquerade as something epic. The whole thing was just so unbelievably unrealistic, even for a comic book adaptation. I mean, sure, I expect some suspension of disbelief, but this show pushed it way too far with its ridiculous plot twists and characters making choices that defied all logic.
And the acting? Oh boy. It was so over the top it actually became distracting. Every emotion felt cranked up to eleven, like the actors were screaming their feelings at me instead of letting them develop naturally. There was absolutely no subtlety, and it just made every serious moment feel unintentionally comedic. What really got me though, was the complete absence of character detail. It was like the writers forgot these were supposed to be people. They felt like flat cutouts, with no real depth, no believable motivations, and certainly no growth. I couldn't connect with anyone, and honestly, I didn't even care what happened to them. It was a struggle to get through, and frankly, I just wish Marvel would hit the brakes on whatever they thought they were doing with this one.

It looks slick but it suffers from the same issue all the new marvel stuff does.
It's emotionally flat as a pancake and doesn't connect with the people watching.
It makes the same mistakes of going for making a statement at the cost of the story and characters.
Neither the character development or the story are developed remotely enough to make us care and in fact do the opposite much of the time.
Someone likely realized this which is why it got shelved so long.
It's not acolyte or snow white levels of bad its just meh.
It's a shame really the people involved deserved better but they may have already know it was bad.
