The Superhero Show Show #594
Ironheart vs Resident Alien!
Welcome to The Superhero Show Show, the only podcast where comic book television gets the deep-dive, issue-by-issue treatment it deserves! This week, we suit up for a full Ironheart series review, covering every major moment from Marvel’s newest Disney+ original. Whether you're already a Riri Williams superfan or just now discovering her arc reactor-powered brilliance, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and how the series fits into the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ironheart Series Review: Riri Williams Builds Her Legacy
Across the full season of Ironheart, Riri Williams grows from tech-savvy MIT genius to a superhero forging her own path beyond Tony Stark's shadow. The hosts discuss Dominique Thorne’s performance, the series’ themes of identity, legacy, and innovation, and the surprising ways Ironheart connects to the larger MCU. From emotional character beats to high-stakes action and magical tech battles, this is your complete breakdown of the show’s highs, lows, and future potential.
Resident Alien Season 3 Update: Still Worth Watching?
Next up, we beam back into Patience, Colorado, to catch up on Resident Alien season 3. The podcast crew discusses how the show continues to deliver its perfect blend of sci-fi weirdness, heartfelt character arcs, and dark comedy. Is Alan Tudyk’s Harry still one of the most charmingly awkward aliens on television? And has the series found new ways to evolve—or is it beginning to stretch itself thin?
Mephisto Watch: Are the Devilish Rumors True This Time?
It wouldn’t be The Superhero Show Show without Mephisto Watch! With multiple references and Easter eggs sprinkled throughout Ironheart, the team dissects whether Marvel is finally bringing the infamous villain into the spotlight. Could the long-running meme finally become canon? Or are we being teased once again?
Final Verdict: Is Ironheart a Win for Marvel TV?
To close the show, your hosts ask the big questions:
Did the Ironheart series live up to the hype?
How does it compare to earlier Marvel Disney+ series like Ms. Marvel, WandaVision, and Moon Knight?
And what does this story mean for the future of Young Avengers, tech-based heroes, and magic-infused villains in the MCU?
