Solid first episode.
Having Jim Rash show up at MIT is always great.
Not sure though about the way they make it seem like every scientist who is bothered by the red tape of the system would instantly agree to go around stealing and extorting people. RiRi was a bit quick to accept that offer. Gives me Scott Lang vibes.

The ending with what seems like

spoiler
a subconsciously created Nathalie AI

is a great cliffhanger.

The intro at MIT was great, although it's unclear why she would need money when it's clear MIT has infinite Tony Stark money. Also she must have plenty of money after creating a Vibranium detector for the CIA (aka the plot of Wakanda Forever), but... Fine, she needs money I get that.

The Hood's introduction was fun. The "hood" itself looks a little silly, but it had a scary moment later on so it works out.

The family/friend death drama feels very forced. It's clearly going to be the focus of the series so I'm guessing it will be expanded on and make more sense, but just within this episode it's just like "Remember that thing we didn't tell you about? It's a major part of my character."

Also cool title intro.

Yeah I did not understand this either. She got a grant and should have been working on her project with that grant money. Why did she need other money?

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago

My understanding was that she used up the grant money and/or overextended the term of her scholarship without graduating.

It was a little hazy, tho

I've gotta say that MCU armor peaked around Iron Man 2. And I'm disappointed that they didn't take the opportunity to finally return to greatness.

I don't mind high-tech armor, but I was so disappointed that we see her donning high tech shiny self-assembling armor in the first few minutes of the show.

I miss the gantry. I miss the sense that it was a physical thing. Imagine the prop artists preparing the parts of Riri's suit that weren't pure CGI. The casting and the polishing and the fingerprint removal before she put it on. How about this? Actually design a suit. Imagine you had a high enough power source to power it and repulsors exist. What would it look like? Imagine something like Andrea Piccinno's exo frame with some plating and a motorcycle helmet. Remember the Mark 1? Remember watching the firmware boot up on an old CRT monitor while Yinsin sacrificed himself to buy Tony time?

I feel like what I'm saying is straight-up CRAZY to the people who make these shows. But PLEASE: if you must, work up to the fancy polished CGI stuff by the end! Let us see something that looks a kinda real. Let her impress us by showing us stages of development instead of literally starting with a product that is finished and capable of cross country flight!

Bring back a gantry. Or let us see her step in and tighten a harness! I feel like if these people were in charge of Top Gun, everyone would get in planes by just running onto an air ram in street clothes and getting launched into the cockpit while the plane is flying. 'Flight suit? Ladder? No, audiences will be bored.'

It really disappoints me that this show is dismissing this opportunity. We got a glimmer of it in Wakanda Forever, but oh well.

Bot ain't been right since Tony died.

(But yeah, that's never happened before and I'm looking into it.)
