(trailer review) - Ironheart

There is a very high possibility that this show is going to be trash. I say that because you have to read between the lines and take in all the information you know about the delays, the reshoots, the 4 or 5 years it has taken to get this official trailer out to us, that the MCU has been struggling in the past two phases because the content has been hit and miss due to the corpoerate running of Disney and their change of leadership and mandates. This show was given life when Bob Chapek wanted shows and movies, now now now! I cannot say that I have hope for this due to knowing all this information and feeling some concerns over the handling of the property, which could very well lead to the poor execution of this show, having it been rushed out but, with that said, this trailer has definitely sold it for me. I would not say I am excited and I cannot wait, but I will say, "consider my interest piqued".

Straight off as an introduction or reintroduction (for those who did not watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), they show us how book and street smart Riri is, but as we go further into the trailer we see a few snippets of Riri's time in Wakanda as she states she wants to make something iconic. I am guessing that with trying to fulfil her dreams, she needs money, something she does not have, and she leans on and  "befriends" a person who states he can get her money, and is likely the Bad Guy of the show, her benefactor, maybe mentor too. I am not sure where the show will be going because there has been a lot of things that has changed over the years since, 'Armour Wars' being one of them, so I am ultimately wondering, if this is simply a standalone show telling her story of how she has continued since the Black Panther sequel? I mean, displaying her intellect and her skillset is one thing, and it is cool, we saw that, but if the show does not really connect to the larger MCU in some way, why do we want to watch it? I love the fact that she has created an AI that looks lifelike (Maybe a way we can get RDJ back like as an AI construct like in the comics), and if the rumours are true, the guy at the end, if he turns out to be who he has been rumoured to be, it will be really interesting to see where they take that character. The show looks great, magic and technology, but looks can be deceiving. I legit feel that at the moment, Marvel is currently operating on a "we win one, we lose one, we win one, we lose one, we..." distribution structure with their projects, film and TV, until they are fully back on track with quality, but I cannot help to think, unless the armour she creates helps Doctor Doom in some way, why? I'd be surprised if this turns out half decent, but I would definitely want it to be fully decent, and I hope it is.
