Depending on what happens in the final three installments ofIronheart,if there are big payoffs and events to come, that will likely be a huge factor in how fans and critics rate the episodes on Rotten Tomatoes. If anything,Ironheartcould potentially surpass shows likeEchoandShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law.That remains to be seen until the scores finalize.
Our Take On Ironheart’s RT Score
While it has a positive Rotten Tomatoes critics score for the time being,Ironhearthas already become another MCU series with a female lead to be targeted by a review-bombing campaign.This was the case with shows likeShe-HulkandMs. Marvel, and movies likeThe Marvels. Even beforeIronheartepisodes 1-3 premiered, the MCU drama was getting negative audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, which likely impacted the current score.
Hopefully, if more positive reviews ofIronheartcome in, those critics and audience members will make their praises heard. It’s entirely possible Ironheart ends up with higher scores, especially if Rotten Tomatoes can root out those submitted in bad faith. The finalized critics and audience scores forIronheartshould be clearer in the coming days.
