Ironheart Full Series Review | Spoilers, Comic Comparisons & MCU Breakdown

In this episode, we share our review of the entire Ironheart series on Disney+, covering all six episodes and breaking down everything from character arcs to comic book connections.

We discuss Riri Williams’ evolution from MIT genius to armored hero, and why she makes the controversial choice to work with criminals like Parker Robbins (The Hood). We explore her emotional core—losing her stepdad and best friend Natalie—and how Natalie’s return as an AI (N.A.T.A.L.I.E.) shapes the story.

We get into Parker Robbins’ origin, how he gets his powers, and what drives his twisted version of “success.” We discuss how his cousin John’s death affects him, and why his partnership with Mephisto (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) felt more like a sketch comedy bit than a serious villain debut.

We also explore characters like Xavier Washington, who has one of the most emotionally grounded scenes in the series, and Ezekiel Stane, whose character arc goes from promising villain to comic relief under Parker’s control.

Zelma Stanton’s role introduces the magical side of the Marvel universe, which adds a mystical layer to Riri’s otherwise tech-based story. We share our thoughts on how well that blend worked—and whether it makes sense for Riri to embrace magic so quickly.

We talk through key moments like the Heirlum facility showdown, the reveal of Parker’s motives, Riri building a new magic-powered suit from car parts, and her deal with Mephisto to bring Natalie back. We also unpack the mid-credits scene and speculate on a possible second season.

We discuss what worked, what didn’t, and what this series means for the future of Ironheart in the MCU.
