Ironheart [is] a weird one-off with an ambiguous ending, which isn’t the worst crime in the world for a six-episode TV show. Given the hints of something great here, though, I wish that—like MIT—Marvel had invested a little more in Riri Williams.

We always expect a clear-cut redemption arc when heroes crash out to the extent that Riri has this season. But it’ll be interesting to see what that looks like for a hero who courts dark magic and sells “something she’ll hardly miss” to the actual devil.

That might be the most Marvel thing about Ironheart: not the cameos or the setup for the next story, but the feeling that growth always remains one installment away.

8.5/10

Instead, The Past is the Past opened up all kinds of interesting possibilities as it took Riri down a very compelling path. One that’s intriguing enough to wonder exactly where she’ll show up next. And in what capacity.

[T]he motivations of characters like Zeke and Parker felt flimsier than I’m sure were intended, but again this all comes down to the fact Ironheart would have been even better with a ten or 12-episode run-count.
