Well, that certainly sounds awful. I'm more of a DC reader, but I'm
still shaking my head at how they seem determined to destroy their own >franchise.
I'll never understand why those fools don't create a vehicle for Storm,
who is already a black woman and has been popular for many decades.

Hopefully this is the last of those types of shows since this was
filmed back in 2022. Before they started canceling so many shows to supposedly focus on quality over quantity.

Because Storm is well enough known that there's no opportunity for a
writer to make their mark on the character without getting push back.

Storm is property of Fox, not Disney/Marvel.
I see. I guess that would explain it.

Nope. Disney owns Fox (or at least a large proportion of it)

owning the rights to the X-Men franchise again.
But that’s a recent development. It still explains why people
haven’t been pushing a storm series in the past.

Don't worry, I'm sure when their idea tank dries up some more
they will find a way to destroy "Storm" in some way, shape or
form too.
Back on-topic; we watched the first episode of "Ironheart" on
Disney+ last night... it's very slow and a little bit dumbed
down. There wasn't a lot of excitement in the first episode to
grip me...
Chicago PD in it though, in a very small role. (Chicago PD is
one of her favourite shows.) But overall we both found it a bit
dull and slow paced. We might get to watch the second episode
later tonight...
"Ironheart" can't be as bad as "The Acolyte" though so we'll
surely manage to get through the first three episodes at some
stage and hopefully it livens up a bit by the time the next
three episodes drop.

Yeah, the pacing in episode two never improved... "Ironheart" is
fairly dull to watch. We didn't bother with another episode
after that as the football was on... we might not go back to it
either, as neither of us are impressed with it. These
slow-builds are taking the audience for granted, there needs to
be something to keep you watching... "Ironheart" is not doing
that for us. They could have made one episode out of the first
two and had the same content minus the sleepy bits.

Fell asleep for a third time during episode two last night. Maybe I should just keep this handy as a sleep aid.

Isn't this supposed to be a six episode "limited" series? At
least that's what the ad I saw for it said.

Yes, it is... three episodes dropped on Disney+ last week and
the final three episodes are due to be released on Tuesday.
Based on what I have seen of "Ironheart" so far I reckon they
could have fitted the story in to three episodes and lost
nothing... it's been a very slow paced mini-series so far.
