Hamilton star Anthony Ramos has addressed the negative backlash to Marvel's latest Disney+ series Ironheart, that began online before the series' debut.
All I ever give a shit about with comic adaptations is that they stay true to the characters. If you’re into comics, you’re uses to alternate universes and weird retcons. As long as you’re up front about that in your show/movie, you won’t piss off many fans of an established character. They might not show up for it, but it’ll be less drama.
Ironheart’s whole thing, the core of who she is, is seeing a need for a hero, having the guts and smarts to make it happen, then not giving up on it. That’s what this version does.
Is Riri my favorite Marvel character? Nah, not even my favorite of the era she was introduced in. But she’s still pretty damn cool. She’s everything Tony isn’t, and she’s still able to fight the good fight without trampling on Iron Man’s cool factor.
Haven’t seen the show yet, and won’t until it’s all out. But in terms of ironheart getting a show, I don’t see a fucking problem that isn’t artificial. It’s most likely mostly racists and misogynists whining when it’s this damn early. Real critique can’t be done until there’s enough available to at least get a vibe from it. Since its 6 episodes, nobody talking shit has anything useful to say. STFU unless you’re talking about the actual production itself.
Yeah, they made it work by virtue of going full alternate and making the gog movies themselves sci-fi action. Though, groot, kinda hard to go wrong with someone that has one line :)

Hell, Guardians of the Galaxy basically took a giant dump on staying true to the characters, and it still did really well.

And half the crew is SJW caricatures straight off Fox News
Huh?
Think about it.
Ahhh, gotcha.
Makes sense.
For whatever reason, the original comment didn’t parse in my head. Thanks for the extra explanation.
