Marvel Studios executives are attempting to pitch their latest Disney+ series, Ironheart to the general public by claiming that Ironheart’s story is not about passing the mantle of Iron Man to her.This Substack is reader-supported.
I remember this when it first came out. Riri Williams was not Iron Man's legacy. She was written as a snotty little girl with delusions of grandeur. She was written as someone smarter and supposedly better than Tony Stark.
I also remember that nobody liked her, and that line died a quick death.
Unlike every single accessible statistic out there, riri bucks the trend as the absolute bestest smartest womanist sharpest brightest firstest greatest apexest perfectest blackest womanist smartestest blackest-womanest ever(est), whew,
hero in the marvel universe. Tony Stark was simply the conduit to which she achieved priestess godesness-ship by divine proxy.
I can’t see myself in her - something I have been assured is *very important* - and so will not be watching.
I don’t know why but I really like ShootyBear. Top marks Bear.
How many speech bubbles, sir?
ALL OF THEM! ALL THE SPEECH BUBBLES!!!
Bendis' verbal diarrhea is infectious. Be careful not to read it.
Maybe we don't want to hear her story.
I won't be listening in, thanks.
Bye.

Ah, Mary Sue to the rescue! Ironically, modern superhero comic book writers have zero imagination.
