That sounds good. Honestly, I feel like the less they do the better when it comes to the shows be it live action or cartoon. Whatever they do, film or show, it needs to matter. Be important. And not just filler, random ass nothing. Some of these Marvel Disney+ shows have been pretty underwhelming and felt so unnecessary.

Well, I see your point, but also want to define 'unnecessary'. If you mean something that doesn't propel the overall saga, I'm still okay with that. GOTG3 had no multiverseness and didn't need to for me to enjoy it. One of my screenwriting teachers said "make every scene move the plot forward and be entertaining, but if you can only do one... make it entertaining," and I have the same view of the MCU, heh. So if you define unnecessary as not moving the saga forward as well as not entertaining, then yeah I'm with you.

Thank you, Dre!

Based on that trailer... I want a Hood show.

The trailer was well done and the production values on this show definitely look great but the plot didn't grab me too hard. I will definitely watch it though. I'm ready for Riri and the Hood to surprise me.
It looks pretty interesting. I've been waiting a long time for the Hood to make his MCU debut.
Riri's science going up against the Hood's mysticism will be quite an interesting contrast.

That is one of the biggest selling points to me.

On second thought. I really want a Jim Rash show.

Ironheart looks pretty bad. I'll still give it a chance, because a 2-minute trailer isn't enough to go buy. But it just looks very generic, and it still feels like Ironheart is portrayed by this actress as a very annoying character, which is how she came off in Black Panther 2.
But we'll see. It's cool the Hood is the villain, and as you guys were saying, the aspect of intelligence vs. mysticism is intriguing.

Yeah she seemed so shoe-horned into that movie for no reason that it really turned me against her. Also I'm just not a fan of Iron Man and his universe to begin with. Powerless people in armored suits never really did anything for me.

I can't find a >gasp!< reaction button.
My sole beef with Riri Williams in BP2 is that she just shortcuts Tony's story and gets straight to the fully-functional super armor. It was unearned and I probably resented the character for it. I suspect I would've been more accepting of the character if she were just introduced in BP2 as the prodigy inventor of the vibranium detector and they saved the armor for her series. I'm a lot more accepting of story elements if you show me how you get there.
I also don't know anything about the Hood, but I do like the gonzo premise of robot girl vs. demon man. I was probably going to skip this show until you pointed that out.
I will, however, try to find the strength to rewatch BP2 and see if I'm remembering the character fairly.

I agree with all of this whole-heartedly.
