Ironheart Episode 4 Review

With one of our team lost in another realm, John and Derek return to discuss Ironheart Episode 4 "Bad Magic" in our spoiler-filled podcast. We may have gushed a little too much about the MCU arrival of one of our favourite Marvel witches but we make no apologies.Ironheart Episode 4 "Bad Magic" DetailsDirected by Angela BarnesWritten by Amir SulaimanEpisode Synopsis:Knowing that Parker Robbins, aka The Hood is on her trail, Riri analyzes the piece of The Hood’s cloak she recovered, which she discovers is an ancient energy source that Parker draws upon. Meanwhile Eziekiel Stane (aka Joe McGillacuddy) has been arrested for the crew's heist after being implicated by the biomesh left behind by Riri, and he is very resentful towards her when she visits him in detention. With things stacking up Ronnie, Riri’s mum, gets increasingly worried about her daughter and wants to help, bringing her to her friend Madeline Stanton, a former Kamar-Taj trainee, and her daughter Zelma. The Stantons help examine the fragment of the hood and detect that it is from a dark dimension that is likely influencing Robbins, before abruptly ushering Riri and Ronnie out of the shop. Ronnie shares her frustrations about her daughter never opening up to her, but Riri leaves in her iron suit after pushing back against her mother’s assertion. Frustrated in her lack of findings with the cloak fragment, Riri meets up with Xavier, who tries to support her but is later horrified by N.A.T.A.L.I.E. emulating his late sister's image. N.A.T.A.L.I.E. leaves when Riri contemplates Xavier's demand to delete it. Elsewhere, The Hood breaks Eziekiel out of jail to recruit him as Riri's replacement, and Slug assists his efforts to implant bionic enhancements in his body, while secretly giving Parker access and control over the bionic enhancements.With everything now in place, Parker sends the crew on an extra mission this time to kill Riri, telling them she killed Cousin John.Ironheart Episode 4 CastDominique Thorne as Riri Williams / IronheartAnthony Ramos as Parker Robbins / The HoodLyric Ross as Natalie Washington / N.A.T.A.L.I.E. Matthew Elam as Xavier WashingtonAnji White as Ronnie WilliamsShea Colee as SlugSonia Denis as ClownAlden Ehrenreich as Ezekiel StaneIronheart MIT Student Bar QuizDuring each podcast we'll ask a question about each episode in our Ironheart MIT Student Bar Quiz.
