Playing catch-up with Marvel shows, focusing on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Ironheart while postponing Daredevil Born Again coverage. Both shows introduce fresh perspectives on familiar characters while connecting to the broader MCU in unique ways.
• Spider-Man features a new origin story involving Doctor Strange, dimensional portals, and a time loop paradox
• Norman Osborn discovers Peter's identity immediately and offers resources to help him
• The animated series introduces race-swapped characters and new additions like Nico Minoru and Amadeus Cho
• Ironheart sparked controversy with Riri Williams' commentary on Tony Stark's privileged background
• Anthony Ramos portrays The Hood, who recruits Riri after her MIT expulsion
• The series blends technology with magic, culminating in a deal with Mephisto
• Both shows deserve nuanced evaluation rather than knee-jerk criticism
