Part 9/12:

Iron Hart exemplifies Marvel’s tendency to prioritize surface-level diversity and spectacle over meaningful character development. It highlights a broader pattern where characters are introduced not because they are compelling, but because they fit a checklist of inclusivity and "woke" narratives. This approach, critics argue, diminishes the core appeal of superhero stories—heroism, sacrifice, and moral complexity.

Furthermore, Marvel's apparent disinterest in quality is reflected in their willingness to release a product long delayed, with minimal promotion, and likely with subpar content. Industry experts and longtime fans believe the studio's focus on new characters—especially those perceived as "diverse"—comes at the expense of storytelling integrity and audience investment.
