Marvel's Cinematic Universe has transformed Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, into a character distinct from her comic origins. Her debut in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' set the stage, but the new series struggles initially to establish her identity separate from established MCU characters. Director Chinaka Hodge works to refine Riri's narrative through a six-part story, showcasing her struggles at MIT, including lack of resources and the challenges of being recognized for her genius. Despite early missteps in storytelling, the series ultimately aims to provide a compelling origin for a new generation of young heroes.
"Ironheart may stumble out of the gate, but its titular heroine eventually lands on her feet."
"Admittedly, it does take a few tries to build a better Ironheart - but whatever glitches we get are in service of the kind of origin story the MCU has sorely been missing."
