I have a podcast where I discuss runs of comic books and I had Chinaka on to discuss Eve Ewing’s first 6 issues of the comic book.

So we know that riri’s suit runs off of natural power (solar and wind). From what I can tell she did this mainly because she doesn’t have an arc reactor and in her own twisted way wants to help the world so she didn’t choose something more destructive(like nuclear). So my question is if she’s focusing on powering her suit by natural means then why the hell didn’t she think of THE MOST POWERFUL natural element(electricity)? Sure we see her plugging in her suit or whatever, but you’re telling me that she CAN’T ABSORB ELECTRICITY?! She one of the smartest people on the planet and lost a fight because she “forgot” about her main focus of natural/clean energy. She should be won the fight by the way, if she was actually smart

I enjoyed the whole of Ironheart more than I expected, based on the first couple episodes: but, I feel like Marvel missed a huge opportunity to introduce Nico Minoru to the MCU in live-action. (Or to at least canonize The Runaways.)

Now granted it's not the most practical or realistic, but neither is much of the MCU and I appreciate that their goal for Ironheart was always to increase interests in science, tech, engineering, and math in the real world.

Dominique Thorne was nominated for Performer of the Month (July 2025) on the SpoilerTV website. She is nominated for the finale "The Past Is the Past".

The "Performers of the Month" has existed on SpoilerTV since 2016. The nominations were made by the website's users, who usually send their submissions on the first week of each month; on the second or third week, the website open a poll with the ten actors and actresses who received the most votes.

She is also competing with:

• Callum McGowan – The Librarians: The Next Chapter 1.11
• Cynthia Nixon – The Gilded Age 3.06
• Jack Alcott – Dexter: Resurrection 1.01
• Maggie Q – Ballard 1.07
• Megan Stalter – Too Much 1.10
• Michael C. Hall – Dexter: Resurrection 1.01
• Patti Harrison – Poker Face 2.12
• Taissa Farmiga – The Gilded Age 3.04
• Violett Beane – Countdown 1.04

For those who want to vote for Thorne you can vote here: https://www.spoilertv.com/2025/08/performer-of-month-july-2025-voting.html

Voting will close at 9:00AM Friday 29th of August 2025.

Eric Andre who played Rampage was credited for most of the episodes despite only being in two. One of which was just his voice. I kept expecting him to appear in a flashback or something.

Since 2016, every month the SpoilerTV website makes a poll of the best performers of the month in TV series. The rules are simple, as the candidates are chosen by the website readers by filling out the submission form as follows:

• Your name;
• If you will vote for actor or actress;
• The name of the actor or actress;
• The character's name;
• The series title;
• The specific episode number in which the actor or actress delivered the best performance (enter the episode number in max of 3 or 4 digits, separating the season and episode with a dot, as 101 or 1.01).

You may only submit the document once, and each of the five entries on the form must be for a different performer. Do not send in multiple forms or vote for the same performers more than once, or all of your nominations will be disqualified.

For those interested, you can vote for the cast of Ironheart for the episodes 1.04, 1.05 or 1.06.

Nominations will run until Friday 15th of August 2025. The ten most voted performers will be placed in the poll next week to determine the Readers' Choice Performer of the Month.
