Ironheart - Drunk Monk - 05-14-2025
RE: Ironheart - Drunk Monk - 06-27-2025
Forewent the midtown concert because Tara activated her ‘traveling’ D+ and we fell into watching the first 3 eps. We liked the characters and recognized a lot of the soundtrack, but we both had issues suspending belief. Which is ridiculous because it’s the MCU so you gotta believe in superheroes. Time was weird because everything seemed to happen in a few days, really fast considering. And the whole ai hologram brought up lingering questions I’ve had about the Doctor in ST:Voy - like how does that even work? I didn’t quite remember who Stane was but Tara jogged my memory. I do like RiRi and Stane, so that’s keeping me watching. Plus e3 ended with a decent cliffhanger.
Only 3 more eps. The jury is still out about a D00M recommendation… I’m confident Greg will chime in soon…

Scheduled for this evening.

Ep01. I guess this works if the genius is also an idiot. For the life of me I cannot remember Riri's backstory or where we saw her last. That might help with this story.

Well, yes, there is that. However I found plenty of chuckles. M'Baku was funny. And Riri has some decent, albeit hackneyed lines. Which brings us to Riri...

Riri was a college student, at MIT no less, so not quite a kid, but we're old, so that one slides. Riri is key to yet another upcoming MCU show, specifically her upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart. Riri's father, the one who she thinks is dead and left her that sweet ride, is a member of the Ten Rings. Enter Shang-Chi. The Ten Rings emblem also appears in Ant-Man (setting up the next one - Phase 5.1 Quantumania) and in Mrs. Marvel (setting up Phase 5.3 The Marvels). This is scheduled to all play out in 2023.

Skipping all this. I just can't care about the MCU any more.

I am a professional nerd. Srsly, it’s how I make my living. If im being honest, I’ve always made my living with my nerd knowledge.
So it behooves me to keep up on such things.

One & a half more eps in. There’s a great opportunity for a tech vs magic metaphor here but I doubt the MCU is that smart. Are they setting up the next Doctor (Strange) with Riri’s new friend?
RE: Ironheart - The Queen - 07-06-2025
We haven’t seen much if it yet, but I’m guessing that the cape that the head criminal wears that is causing his skim to get scaly is some sort of dark relative of the Dr. Strange cape… and in my head, every time he appears on screen, I hear Edna from The Incredibles declaring, “No capes!”
RE: Ironheart - Drunk Monk - 07-06-2025
It’s magik!
I was hoping Strange’s cape would make a cameo for a cape duel. But it’s closer to Agatha than Strange, although he is referenced.
RE: Ironheart - Greg - 07-21-2025
Finished up Iron Heart. I was disappointed. Lots of whining from Riri. Still really dumb for a once in a generation genius. Highlight of the show was the White Castle battle. Especially liked the notice board. But the ending was poor.
And don't we have other characters in the MCU? Do we always have to go back to the well? There must be thousands of villains and they still brought back two ones that have appeared in the movies before. Nothing more dynamic than two people sitting around a table talking.

They weren't talking. They were eating.
RE: Ironheart - thatguy - 07-21-2025
Right? Very dynamic...much better than My Dinner with Andre

Time to switch back to DC.
Trust me on this one.
Although my opinion of the MCU might change in a few hours...
