Finished Ironheart. It's ok, lots of pros and cons, but it tees up a season 2 that will definitely never happen. It's probably like watching Black Adam or the Gifted or something in 2025, knowing that whatever is being set up is merely there to be left hanging.
Let's count the threads that haven't been picked up:
- Young Avengers (hopefully they do get to this but right now it's just a compilation of Disney+ young girl characters)
- the Eternals, including Star Fox, Blade and Black Knight
- the origin of Shang-Chi's rings (I still believe that they didn't know what they were teasing with this when they teased it)
- the Power Broker
- White Vision (whose show will come out, at least)
- anything from Ironheart
- the Venom symbiote in universe 616
- Clea and incursions (presumably to come up in Secret Wars but that wasn't written in 2022)
- Hercules
- anything from She-Hulk
- anything from Agatha All Along (no chance we get a sequel, but maybe Billy will appear in Vision Quest…? Unlikely)
- anything from Echo (good, terrible show)
- anything from Secret Invasion (even worse show)
- anything from Quantumania (Ant-Man will return in Doomsday but that may be it)
- Monica Rambeau in some kind of X-Men universe (maybe Secret Wars)
Maybe half will be picked up, but even that's pretty generous.
