IRONHEART Fans Say It’s “One of the Best Marvel TV Shows” and Demand a Season 2 After That Wild Cliffhanger
Marvel’s Ironheart has wrapped its first season on Disney+, and social media is on fire with praise… and panic. Why panic? Because Ironheart ended on a hell of a cliffhanger, and we have no idea if Marvel will continue the story.
Spoilers Ahead!
The final episode, titled “The Past Is the Past”, doesn’t just deliver a standout battle between Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) and Parker Robbins aka The Hood (Anthony Ramos), it also introduced the long-rumored MCU devil himself, Mephisto, and fans aren’t handling it calmly.
In the final minutes, Riri successfully separates Parker from his possessed cloak, but before she can catch a break, she’s face to face with Mephisto in human form.
He plays it smooth, preys on her grief, and by the look of it, convinces her to make a deal. The last shot? Riri hugging her best friend Natalie (Lyric Ross), who appears to be alive again, and showing off markings similar to the ones that corrupted Parker. Yeah. That’s not ominous at all.
Naturally, fans exploded on social media. "THAT ENDING ARE YOU KIDDING ME???" tweeted one disturbed viewer. "I need Marvel to greenlight season 2 as soon as humanly possible because you can't just have Riri make a deal with the devil like that and not promise me a follow up."
Another fan said: "Ironheart is one of the best tv shows Marvel has made FIGHT WITH A WALL I DON'T CARE. Riri, you will forever be loved. AND FINALLY GETTING MEPHISTO???? oh we're so back and I will be expecting a season 2."
Others echoed the sentiment with enthusiasm and heartfelt pleading: "Day one asking Marvel for [an] Ironheart season 2 and Strange Academy show sequel who's with me."
And one viewer said: "There's a lot of spoilers with the second half of Ironheart so I'm not going to go into specifics, but PLEASE just give this show a shot. It finally avoids the MCU show problem of a rushed/poor finale and is a great time. Just please Marvel don't leave these storylines to die..."
A lot of Fans begging for that second season! Ironheart’s ending launched a whole new path forward, one that could redefine magic in the MCU. The only question now is: Will Marvel follow through?
I can’t say that I’m as enthusisatic about the show as these Marvel fans. But hey! A lot of people enjoyed what Marvel delivered! What did you think?
