The first reactions from Marvel’s Ironheart are in, and per the norm, the blame game is already being applied. It’s your fault if you don’t like the series, and you’re racist.
We’ve seen this with other movies and shows such as The Acolyte. The fans are blamed for the failure instead of where the blame really lies, with those responsible for its creation. It’s gotten to the point where it’s become an internet meme.
I haven’t seen Ironheart, yet. I’m not on Disney Marvel’s list of reviewers. Disney+ did recently contact me to watch and review one of their shows early, but it comes with a host of demands. You can’t say this, you’re embargoed until this date. Pass.
What’s pretty funny about some of the reactions to Ironheart is that while they say the show isn’t good, they still blame fans. It’s hilarious.
Reactions below.
Update: Ironheart debuts on Rotten Tomatoes with a 32% fan score.

Bland characters and a super uninteresting plot that doesn’t knows where it wants to go. A disappointment overall. pic.twitter.com/pzereKvpb5
They always say people don’t like Ironheart because she’s a black woman.

No. I don’t like her because I read the comics and didn’t like her there either.
Skin color is irrelevant. I know you need that to be the reason so you can feel safe in your echo chamber, but reality… pic.twitter.com/37QXLvjGsH
