At the centerpiece of Ironheart is Riri Williams—a character described as insufferable and unlikable.

Instead of character growth, audiences are presented with a protagonist embroiled in chaos and villainy, raising doubts about her suitability as a hero of the MCU.

Despite moments where she could exhibit growth, the writing often leans towards jargon-filled dialogues that seem to obscure rather than illuminate her path.
