Ironheart Star Addresses Pre-Release Backlash to Latest MCU Show — 'At Least They're Talking About It, Because if They Ain't, Then I'd Be Worried' - IGN
Hamilton star Anthony Ramos has addressed the negative backlash to Marvel's latest Disney+ series Ironheart, that began online before the series' debut.
Riri Williams had a small introduction in Wanda Forever, but wasn't core to the story. We never learned that much about her, but we got a rough idea of her character.
The show was delayed by a year, year and a half, so instead of being a follow up to Wakanda Forever it awkwardly comes out 2-3 years later.
Disney released it as a quick dump, it's 6 episodes released in quick succession (1 week gap). Generally this means low confidence in the show.
That being said, what I've seen so far, the show generally is pretty good. It's got problems, mainly the pacing. It either needs a few more episodes to flesh out some storylines and characters, or it needs to trim things down and just be a movie.
Now maybe it won't stick the landing, but after three episodes I'm intrigued by the main plot and looking forward to the final three episodes.
I think most all D+ Marvel shows are a three episode initial drop and then weekly follow up. The rest of what you’re saying makes sense but this part is normal for them.
