Having finished all 6 eps, I can say that I really enjoyed 'Ironheart'. I liked most things the show did, the changes from the comics made sense, and they made up for the absence of Tony Stark in Riri's story by giving her a more personal, and actually touching, connection to her suit and her motives.
The themes of a 19-year-old girl experiencing loss and trauma and acting from a place of grief and frustration while trying to regain some control over her life, learn to stop pushing people away, and use her gifts, without having the privilege of Stark's resources, were explored really well. It's very human for someone to act messily and abrasively, but not maliciously, when they are trying to protect themselves from experiencing more pain, and supernatural and comic book elements aside, for me, 'Ironheart' depicted that rather realistically too.
The show had its funny and heartwarming moments, and Dominique Thorne is great as Riri. The only gripe I have is with the ending, because it felt very MCU formulaic in how it tries to set up things coming next, instead of wrapping up the current story, and more specifically it felt out of character and out of place, considering Riri's whole arc. That said, if a second season happens I will surely be watching!
(Wide-eyed Tiffie in the pic to nod to *that* thing finally happening in the MCU.)
