First reactions for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 5 show 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ironheart are in, and they're decidedly mixed.

The show picks up with Riri Williams in the aftermath of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and it sees the new hero attempt to build something "iconic" – with the shadowy help of mysterious newcomer The Hood.

. "What really landed for me was how ෴it ties back to the original Iron Man adding an unexpected layer of legacy to RiRi’s journey. And without spoiling anything, there’s a character introduced late in the season that really makes the showꦇ stand out."

"The first three episodes of #Ironheart are out tomorrow, and your resident Marvel cynic is here to say: it's quite good!" is the verdict of Collider's . "It's a shame the series has been in flux, because Disney Plus 🌺has something great on their hands. Domini🌳que Thorne is pure dynamite. Alden Ehrenreich is brilliantly cast."

"Oh, I ✤can talk about #Ironheart now? I've seen all 6 episodes. I'm a bit surprised Marvel didn't market this more. It starts pretty strong and gets better and better as the series progresses," says YouTuber .

"#Ironheart is a🐭 spectacular dose of Black girl magic. One of Marvel's best shows. Filled with charming, likable characters. From the heroes to the villains, everyone is magnetic. Domi꧋nique Thorne and Alden Ehrenreich are outstanding. Anthony Ramos is in rare form. Funny, grounded, and superpowerful. Some clever MCU tie-ins. A VERY bold ending too!" says journalist .

However, not everyone agrees. "#Ironhe💖art have some fun moments but it's never interesting enough nor it manages to stick the landing," says . "Bland characters and a super uninteresting plot that doesn't know where it wants to go. A disappointment overall."

"#Ironheart suffers from too few episodes to dynamically explore the interesting ideas of access and privilege being discussed," says critic . However, Dominique Thorne and Alden Ehrenreich lead this🍨 show toward a satisfying conclusion that left me excited for Marvel's next steps."

"#Ironheart is a fine series! I really wanted to love but came away not feeling much," says critic . "VFX, Action, & some new additions of magic mythology to the world of t🅠he MCU stand out (THE HOOD + FINALE = AWESOME) but the character arcs feel at a standstill by the end & don't go anywhere."

"Oh, we can talk about #Ironheart now. It's another meeting that could have been a memo, a two-hour film stretched out to six hours of content," says journalist . "The first half is rough, but it evolves into something interesting in the home stretch, something close to the yin to Sinners' yang." Sinners director Ryan Coogler is an executive producer on Ironhea✃rt.
