The first thing you notice about Marvel's "Ironelesis Heart", the latest entrance to streaming in Marvel's widespread film universe, is how small it is. It is largely set up in a neighborhood in Chicago. Apart from the image of the title, his team is original and firmly linked to their surroundings than with another MCC angle. Easter eggs are little, continuity references are reserved, and the threat involves personal vendors and agonizing elections that come in age instead of heavenly portals and multi -fool chaos. Even action sequences are restrained, valuing directness over the spread.

The second thing you notice for Marvel's "Ironoeles Heart" is how this reduced volume is the best part of the show and a reminder that MCU's most effective stories serve their characters first and second franchise. There is nothing "essential" for this series of six episodes (you can easily go to see them Marvel's next movie Without seeing it, for example), but only the fact that it is non -intense for the larger MCU narrative is why it is so welcome in the fresh air. It's not a homework. Don't prepare you for the next thing. It's happy to be independent, tell your story and focus on Only His roles of characters.

The "Ironi -Early Heart" is a small story of a girl, her family, her friends and the robotic suit which is her greatest blessing and her most tragic cursing. And that's just that. And by returning to the basics, the series captures the essence because we were in the first place in Marvel's stories.

Although technically tracking of "Black Panther: Wakanda forever", Who introduced a young technological genius and engineer inspired by Tony Stark, Riri Williams (Dominique Thorn), "Ironheart" wisely does not require you to remember something for that film. The series gives "Wakanda forever" a few seconds in a short recognition before starting in the story: Riri fights in MIT, expelled and returns home to Chicago with a crushed robot lawsuit and none of the funding she needs to use her genius.

What should a girl do when there is ambitions on Iron Man? In this case, it is to join a small crime ring, working with high -tech jobs and not allow her soul to relax Also Many she builds a bank account.

"Ironheart" mines original tension from this premise, as the initial "Ocean 11" by Riri-Haistis gives a place to folk, more dangerous work, leading to fractures in its social circle and beyond. Where the action and derring-do are generally gripping enough, the series' Real Heart Lies When Riri is Out of Her Suit: Reconnecting with Her Mom, Hanging with Old Friends, Rediscovering the Many Quirks and Corners of Heres of Heres. Neighborhood, and Even Striking Up An Unlikely Friendship With a Lonely Suburban Dork Named Joe, Played with a Disarming Sweetness by A Scene-Stealing Alden Ehrenreich (to Say More About His Character Bu. Marvel fans will see it with interest, to put it mildly).

At the center of it is Natalie (Lyric Ross), Riri's best friend, who died tragically and whose memories persecute every moment of waking our hero, causing panic attacks affected by sadness. It is a sensitive thing, managed by the care of the series "Filmmakers" and Grace of Thorn, who is actually able to play a full -fledged character here, after being drained on the margins of "Wakanda forever". And while Natalie can be dead (and remember, death has a different meaning in a comic book story), its dynamics are with the rirus that gives the show sweet, sustainable energy.

But "Ironheart" is still a story of comics, and one set in a world full of blinding impossible. And on the show's loan, it is doing something that we have yet to see fully realized in every MCU story so far: a fully blown research on science versus magic. Surely, Ironeles man and doctor strangely teamed upBut no movie had a chance to really slow down and explore the famous nervous repercussions of what happens when the technology -based superhero faces a being of pure supernatural and spiritual power. And while the main villain of the series, the cursed gang leader known as Hood, is a bit inconsistent (Anthony Ramos, a good actor, simply does not have the necessary magnetism necessary here), the consequences of their clashes should be more than enough to raise the eyebrow even. Or someone.

When the "Ironeles" is cooked, it is impressive how much more satisfactory is than the other Marvel that leans on events that destroy the earth of cosmic importance. Nothing that happens during the six, dense, dense, dense, fast, does not affect the larger MCU, but certainly changes Riri and her friends (and enemies). However, we love Riri, and we like its rapidly expanding the circle of friends, so relatively small events are robbed because the show requires us to take them personally. It is said that the best action scene in the series includes a fight in a white castle restaurant, where Riri should survive with only limited gadgets on hand. It works because we were asked to invest in this team, and their situation, rather than thinking about what is happening elsewhere in MCC.

Marvel's Chinese universe is in a strange place. Many of the streaming shows were apostles. The films saw a reduction in the returns to the box office. Seemingly, all eyes are on "Doomsday". But "Ironheart" remembers the secret sauce that made us all love MCC in the first place. These are the characters, a doll. Make us love the characters and let the universe fall to the place around them. And well, after six episodes, I'm pretty sure I love Riri and her small circle of allies. And maybe some of her enemies.
