I think alot of ppl dun understand the direction of the show, this is not a ''tech'' show, this is on Dr Strange and the mystic side of thing.
Plot is presented from a tech head side of narrative.
TS is TS becuz he's a billionare is actually true. Otherwise his Mark 1 would be his only achievement is EXACTLY what the show is trying to portray with Riri here.
So what does a poor tech head with the the capability of TS do when money is not as accessible? A black tech head? Yeah exactly what Riri did. Went down the quick path (ironically fulfilling the perverse impression of their race) and eventually slide down the dark hole.
The DEI elements was not even important to the plot and yes i would also agree if you were to counter ''then why are they there''.
To me personally i could care less about what DEI or woke **** they put in so long as i see the grand direction of things going forward.
Well I decided to give this show a chance … I was like …
“Ehh … I can afford to kill a couple brain cells” …
And wow … you could really feel them dying 1 by 1 … the brain cells I mean
I go into this ignoring whatever assumptions of woke DEI crap, and it’s still an awful show.
Out of 6 episodes, they spend the 1st 4 1/2 episodes making the lead out to be a really unlikeable character … I get the idea of working towards something of a
Redemption Arc, but they did such a good job of making her unlikeable that it’s too-little-too-late.
The story is also stupid … when it hits you towards the end that the final showdown is Technology vs Mysticism, and they are trying to imbue the iron suit with magic, you’d be like …
wait, what? Ever heard of any storyline where Iron Man goes up against Ghost Rider or 1 of the supernatural type characters? They don’t make such storylines because suggesting it already sounds stupid … and here they went and did it.
I hope this show is cancelled.
