The back half of the first season of Ironheart arrives on Disney+ tomorrow, and we recently asked you to let us know what you made of the first three episodes.

The poll results are in, and 1202 of you voted. With 30% of the votes (365), the majority of you felt that Marvel's latest MCU-set series was "Good," or 3/5. Next was the most negative option, with 279 (23%) of you choosing "Awful," or 1/5. Very good (4/5) was next with 278 votes, followed by "Disappointing" (2/5).

Finally, only 11% of you (127) picked the most positive option, "Excellent," or 5/5.

Earlier today, Rotten Tomatoes announced that Ironheart is now officially "certified fresh" at 86%, making it the third highest-rated MCU Phase 5 project on the review aggregator.

You can check out a recap of the first three episodes at the link below.

"After being expelled from MIT and stripped of her tech, teen genius Riri Williams returns to Chicago. A chance encounter leads her into the orbit of a dangerous crew, and when she uses a brain-mapping device to repair her broken suit, she accidentally brings back a hologram AI of her dead best friend."

Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams made her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and this series takes places after the events of the sequel, as Riri returns to her hometown of Chicago and sets her mind to building a state-of-the-art iron suit.

"Set after the events of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Ironheart” pits technology against magic when Riri—determined to make her mark on the world—returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka 'The Hood' (Anthony Ramos)."

The series also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge is head writer; episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes. Executive producers include Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Zoie Nagelhout, Chinaka Hodge, Ryan Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler. Music is by Dara Taylor.

Produced in association with Proximity Media, Ironheart launched on Disney+ on June 24, 2025.

Show is just fine. Certainly not worse than that piece of shit show secret invasion. I’m excited to see where it goes in the last couple episodes. Hope it can land the plane but unfortunately even some of the best marvel shows fail to do so

Show is OK, but there is only one Ironman and his name is Tony Stark. Bring back Ironman. Will never accept ironheart as Ironman, and neither will the fans. They need to move off these tertiary characters no one knows or care about and concentrate on primary characters like what gunn is doing at DC.

@cubichy - should of never killed hom
And Steve Rogers off. Because of that there will likely be no Iron Man and Reed Richard’s interaction or Steve Roger’s and Cyclops interaction

@Yetiman - my guess is we'll see exactly that in SW, with variants that will never be seen again, unfortunately.

Probably one of my least favorite Disney+ marvel shows. Only ahead of She-Hulk and Secret Invasion for me. Maybe the last three episodes can bump it up but really have not enjoyed the first three.

The show is crap. Poorly written, disjointed, terrible character development, and the "hero" is actually a villain.

There are so many other problems with this show I don't even know where to start.

Yeah, this Riri is pretty different from the comics; it's hard to imagine her maneuvering into a superhero role after this wraps, like she did when joining Champions in the comic books, given that version is much more in line with a young, idealistic hero.

I was one of those people who did not want to like this show. I thought it was way too early to introduce this character who doesn't really have a rich comics history. Also, I was frankly tired of Marvel Studios introducing all these female heroes, especially among the Young Avengers/Champions and ignoring all the male heroes on those teams. So, I was prepared to crap on this show. It is frustratingly slow at the start, but it gets better every episode. I'm actually enjoying it for the most part. I wouldn't say I love it, but it isn't as bad as most folks would expect. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how it ends. It was smart for Marvel to release this in 3 episode drops. If this was weekly, I think a lot of folks would have given up on it due to how slow the 1st episode is.

@String - I agree with this assessment. I watched the first two episodes on drop night, and came back the next night for ep. 3, reasonably excited to watch it. Is it great? No. Am I enjoying it? Yes! I gave the poll a 3/5. I’m interested to see where it goes.

Many people are lamenting we don’t have Tony, we don’t have Steve, etc. but fail to recognize how rigorous it is for real humans to make these movies for decades or more. Things have to change and grow, way faster than comics - which let’s not forget constantly “kill” characters and bring them back, which would also be largely be intolerable for these same fans. Not to mention can just be drawn again, unlike actual actors, whom to recast would be just as divisive.

What is a studio to do? I appreciate they’re taking risks and (mostly) earnestly trying to move the movie universe forward, including trying some analogues and protégés. For better or worse, Doomsday and Secret Wars are going to be megaton bombs, and will shake up the MCU in ways we can’t even yet imagine. And let’s not forget, the age of mutants is coming… though too many will probably shit on that too.

I just ground my self in my 6th grade age when I was 11 in 1992, and heard a “rumor” an X-Men film was being made and trying to imagine how it could even be done. Go touch some grass you spoiled haters. Is it all gold? Of course not, but it’s better than churning butter by hand. Remember that the next time you go butter your [fricking] toast.

More crap from D+.

Limited appeal with a bunch of unlikable characters.

For me it’s well made, the CGI seems decent too. The issue comes with the concept - a clone of Ironman, the main character design - very irritating teenage girl, and trying to be too deep into black teen culture and seemingly missing the mark. I’ve only watched episode 1 so far and I had to take two attempts at that. In the same way as Ms Marvel didn’t hit it for me this just seems that it’s targeting a specific audience which is this case appears to be mix to late teenagers which is fine, it just doesn’t engage with me. Maybe like a few others have said it might get better as the show rolls on.

The character has always been poorly written in the comics, and its funny how they have actually made her worse in the show. It always feels great when modern concepts from comics kind of fail.

@Beer85 - like... They own Marvel!

Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Wolverine, the X-Men, the FF, Hulk, Black Panther, Spider-Man!

They got some big-ass characters, why the [frick] would they ditch them in favor of these derivative F-listers? Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Ditko et al created the classics, but they want to use the nobodies created by nobodies.

They don't deserve ownership of the Marvel IP.

I would give it a B-/B right now which is “decent-good” in my book…

I’m enjoying the cast performances so far & the characters to varying degrees (I like the writing for the most part aswell).

It’s got some nice emotion to it though & mystery with The Hood so looking forward to watching the remaining 3 episodes!!.

None of this really matters. Wait until viewership numbers are released. This will tell the true story.

Apophis71 - 7/1/2025, 9:48 AM
@CorndogBurglar - Will it though? I mean in terms of if the character has much of a future it will but what I mean is bad stuff can have high viewing figures and great stuff can flop and take years to be fully appreciated.

Even if/when I REALY don't like a series, any studio or any genre/franchise, just as with the comics I make a point of reminding myself that some will likely love it that don't like what I love. Making only stuff that works for a broad spectrum can fail to cater to all so I don't begrudge anything being made, I simply choose not to let it bother me stuff exists that isn't for me and fine picking and choosing what Marvel/DC film or show I watch or skip in the comic book related field even when all there stuff is connected (such as with the Arrowverse, didn't watch ALL those, picked the ones I liked, ditched any when I got tired with them a never made a fuss about it).

Ultimately even if they mess up with a character I aint interested in, they may learn from that and not make the same errors with characters I DO want adapted end of the day from my PoV and thus even when they fail appreciate when they try new things rather than always playing it safe with the top few characters as DC oft has had a tendancy to do. Then sometimes a character I was never interest in with the comics, like Iron Man or Captain America, works when adapted and grow to love something I never appreciated before, if it doesn't no big deal.

Bigger issue if they mess up with a character I loved from the source obviously, lol, but then I just hope at some point they will try again and get it right next time and grateful they at least tried and made more people aware of the existance of the character I love.

@Apophis71 - In terms of whether a show os good or bad, of course viewership doesnt matter.

Unfortunately good or bad doesnt keep things up and running. It doesnt really mean much if people aren't even willing to watch it in the first place.

@CorndogBurglar - Disney doesn't usually release the viewership numbers unless they are positive.

CW quality. Feels like a lackluster season of the Arrow and "the cape" combined. For one of the longer Disney/Marvel shows per EP it doesn't do much.
