Part 8/10:
The disappointing performance underscores a troubling reality: Iron Heart never truly connected with audiences. The character herself is portrayed as an unsympathetic villain archetype rather than a hero, which fails to inspire enthusiasm. The lack of interest reflects broader issues—the character is seen as self-centered and unrelatable, making it difficult for viewers to engage.
This widespread apathy is compounded by Marvel and Disney's silence on the matter. The studio's reluctance to acknowledge the poor ratings suggests an awareness of just how badly Iron Heart flopped. Unlike previous MCU entries that boasted promotional campaigns and official statements, this series has been met with a deafening quiet, indicating a strategic retreat to avoid further damage.
