The series is currently getting a positive reaction from Marvel fans on Rotten Tomatoes, but not without first getting review bombed before the show had even been released to the public. Here\u2019s how it went down:<\/p>\n<p>How Ironheart Got Review Bombed In Time For Its Premiere<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we\u2019ve seen this trend a few times before regarding Marvel and Disney projects lead by a POC female character. It happened to Captain Marvel back in 2019, and once again for the live-action The Little Mermaid, which actually <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/the-little-mermaid-is-getting-review-bombed-after-release-but-sites-are-taking-action\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/the-little-mermaid-is-getting-review-bombed-after-release-but-sites-are-taking-action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">led IMDB to take action<\/a>, for example. The same fate befell Ironheart hours before the series was even available for audiences to watch and form enough of an opinion to review. <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ironheart-review-bombed-rotten-tomatoes-before-premiere-disney-marvel\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ironheart-review-bombed-rotten-tomatoes-before-premiere-disney-marvel\/\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"noopener\">GameRant<\/a> reports the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter rating (which is accumulated from audience ratings) debuted at 32%.<\/p>\n<p>Something similar happened on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt13623126\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_7_nm_0_in_0_q_ironhea\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt13623126\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_7_nm_0_in_0_q_ironhea\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"noopener\">IMDB<\/a>, where the TV series apparently got started with a 4.7 out of 10 before the series was even available to stream. On that front, it\u2019s since gotten even worse, with the series having a 3.7 with 15,000 ratings. Over 50% of the ratings over on IMDB gave the series a flat one out of 10, which is a good indicator of users just logging on to give it the worst score possible.<\/p>\n<p>You may like<\/p>\n<p>It Looks Like Marvel Fans Are Helping Give Ironheart More Love<\/p>\n<p>In terms of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/ironheart\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/ironheart\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"noopener\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, just three days later, it\u2019s a different story, as Ironheart has a more accurate 60% Popcornmeter rating. It seems to show that Marvel fans are fighting back against review bombs and taking the time to make sure the latest MCU series is getting more praise than all out hate.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s not like everyone who\u2019s seen the series has given it undisputed praise.
