I might do a "review" for this after the final three episodes release. Right now it's a 7/10 for me but I'm giving it a 10/10 to offset the obvious review bombing.
Y'all ain't serious with those 1/10 ratings.
It is at least a 5/10 right now.
The complaints I've read around the block literally amount to:
1. The comic was bad!
2. She disrespected Iron-Man!
3. She's just an Iron-Man replacement!
4. She sold finished school projects! Tony never did that!!!
In other words, it's embarrassing.
It is very clear that they held back in the final two episodes for some bigger story in the future, but this kinda hurt my overall enjoyment, dropping it from a 7 (and possible 8) to a 6. Yes, don't reveal everything right away if the story isn't finished, but there should've been way more destruction from the fights. And the “heart” part of Ironheart ended up being only a sob story (which a teared up for very briefly). But when do we get to love the hero for her current actions rather than her past? Based on the ending, never.
Also, the reveal of the main villain was meh. Someone like him should really send chills down your spine, both in excitement and for fear of what's to come for MCU heroes.
But just like the protagonist, I felt nothing. Maybe that's the point? Deception?
Anyway, I hope this means more X-Men. Haven't checked out the MCU Phase list since Phase 2, so I genuinely don't know what's to come.
