Ironheart Series:-
Ironheart is a series that was released in "Disney+" on June 24, 2025 and this series introduced a Character name "Riri Williams" who is an brilliant "MIT student" and with her great knowledge, she builds her own Iron Man–style suit in "Chicago" and this character was early introduced in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever". This series is basically based on "high‑tech science" and "supernatural magic". Now lets break it down of why this series became the most hated one for MCU fans:-
The Most Hated MCU Series?
Many audience actually trusted this series to be great but after releasing it, the MCU fans got nothing except disappointment because, The aim for this series is to continuing to carry the legacy of "Tony Stark" be we see that this character Riri Williams is no longer carrying it and in fact she is also destroying Tony Stark's legacy, which made angry to far more audience. In the first episode itself she says, she want to become much better than Tony Stark but her attitude and morals are not good at all because she doesn't care about other peoples life and have no longer interest to protect the world, she is doing such things that can benefit only to herself. But, as we all know Tony Stark was the best defender of the earth that literally protected people from Thanos and because of his "Time Machine" technology, trillions of people from entire Universe came back that were reduced to atoms due to Thanos Snap. Later Riri Williams ask "Do you think Tony Stark would be Tony Stark if he wasn't a Billionaire?" and this phrase literally just killed the rest of the impressions of this Ironheart Series, she asks this casually as though she knows how Tony lived his life, but as of till now we all know that Tony Stark created his first Suit known as the "Mark I" in a cave with the box of scrapes, and at that time his money did not help him at all! his talent, hard work and his skills did. I know that Tony created the "Nano-Tech" suit with the help of money too, but right from start of his story, he created far many things in which his money didn't help at all such as - Suits, Arc-reactors, other DIY weapons too.
Riri Williams the hated character?
The fact that we all agree is that Riri Williams is one of the genius girl in her current time because she created many things till now, but has done far more disappointment things, first her morals itself are not good at all, she literally steals, helps students cheat, blackmails other people, mess up herself in every serious situation, takes advantages of others, works with gangsters too and much more, yet she has some sort of motivation to become better than Tony Stark. She always do these evil things just to acquire money to use it on her own huge project, she never met with Tony so that's why she doesn't know how Tony lived his life, even Spider-Man (Peter Parker) has also did his starting journey with less money but still created many shooting webs, common suit cloths until he got "Nano-Tech" suit from Tony. Riri Williams has definitely failed to carry the legacy of Tony, the aim for this character to become the successor of Iron Man is now nothing but a joke, and upon that her acts in every situation, some of her suit creations, and her lack of commonsense made herself the most hated character in the series too.
Story Concept:-
The storyline of this series is just nothing but pure Brain rot, the action plans of both Villain "The Hood" (Parker Robbins) and Riri Williams are senseless both of them can't kill each other when they get a clear chance, they both exaggerate this process and finally at last Riri Williams successfully kills Parker Robbins but after that she literally deals with "Mephisto" even though she knows that Parker Robbins also have done deal with Mephisto and tried to killed her, at this point she is now doing the same thing that Parker Robbins did, now there is no much difference left between Hero and a Villain. Even her own AI which is made in Hologram and made according to her thoughts, she always supports of every stupid step that Riri Williams takes. She deals with Mephisto for selling her soul just to bring her dead friend back to life even though she knows that this might be dangerous to other people, but she doesn't care at all. She makes different suits in this series which are not quite interesting, to make that suit she need money and to get money, she involves herself in criminal activities, take other people's life and don't care as long as she gets benefit and after all this, she thinks she can become better than Tony.
Reason about this:-
I personally think that Marvel has made this "Ironheart" series in such a way that to get more and more attention to the character Riri Williams, because they know Marvel fans does not easily accept the new character who acts, behaves or have attitude like Tony Stark. I can say that this series was quite interesting at some point, but it needs a lot of improvements especially for the character Riri Williams. If the main Hero does not improve, then it might lose even more impressions from audience in future.
