IRONHEART PART 1 REVIEW
Disney Marvel has dropped a new MCU series starring Dominique Thorne following her role as the tech-genius Riri Williams, first introduced to us in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The show picks up after the events of that film and takes Riri back to her hometown of Chicago where she reconnects with her past and tries to prove her worth as the successor of Tony Stark. She gets entangled with a group of thieves led by Parker Robbins a.k.a. The Hood (Anthony Ramos), another lower-tier Marvel Comics character brought into significance. This series is produced by Ryan Coogler and is a cinematic prestige format series elevated by his guiding hands, raising it above some of the lesser Disney Plus MCU series entries. But where does Ironheart fit within the post-Infinity War Saga MCU, which has been struggling to find its foothold in both film and television? Jordan and TC discuss these first three episodes while a mysterious figure waits in the shadows to pounce.

Jordan Cobb (Screener Squad)
Born with a comic book in one hand, a camera in the other, and in front of the television as WrestleMania played out, Jordan Worth Cobb was thus birthed into this crazy world.
