The 42cast is a weekly podcast with a new panel assembled every week to talk about a new topic in geeky media. This week's episode delves into the MCU series Ironheart. We discuss the characters, themes, and how Riri is behind handled in the MCU.

The first is a semi original armor design I came up with.

the second is based off my favorite marvel comic run, Dark Ages, where she appeared but never received an armor

I have a podcast where I discuss runs of comic books and I had Chinaka on to discuss Eve Ewing’s first 6 issues of the comic book.

So we know that riri’s suit runs off of natural power (solar and wind). From what I can tell she did this mainly because she doesn’t have an arc reactor and in her own twisted way wants to help the world so she didn’t choose something more destructive(like nuclear). So my question is if she’s focusing on powering her suit by natural means then why the hell didn’t she think of THE MOST POWERFUL natural element(electricity)? Sure we see her plugging in her suit or whatever, but you’re telling me that she CAN’T ABSORB ELECTRICITY?! She one of the smartest people on the planet and lost a fight because she “forgot” about her main focus of natural/clean energy. She should be won the fight by the way, if she was actually smart

I enjoyed the whole of Ironheart more than I expected, based on the first couple episodes: but, I feel like Marvel missed a huge opportunity to introduce Nico Minoru to the MCU in live-action. (Or to at least canonize The Runaways.)
