I miss Riri.
said no one ever
>>154046446Except I just did. You're a liar.
>>154046408I still don't understand why they didn't play up her manic and unhinged behavior that she clearly displayed. It's weird how the character is nuts, but her creator somehow didn't notice. I think she would've been much more well received if she was portrayed as a proper heroic mad scientist.
>>154046408She's a pretty bad character. The number pf suits that Tony has made, makes anything Riri made nothing special. If we are taking Riri as a smart black girl, it's almost all done better with Moon girl. If we take Riri as a person she's a pretty selfish person who only cares about proving her worth as opposed to saving people. If we take the actress, she'll be pushing 30 soon so Disney will lose the "young" avenger angle. Probably why they had her animated in the zombie show.
>>154046641"What if Hank Pym was a teenage girl?" would have been a tougher sell than "A teenage girl becomes Tony Stark in a garage with a box of scraps."
>>154046746And then they made a teenage girl Hank Pym
>Iron Man is gold and red>War Machine is grey and blackYou'd think they'd go with more unique colors for the other suit users.
>>154046743MCU Ironheart is just weird to me. Idk if covid had anything to do with it but production and release seemed like a mess, and oddly there was zero synergy in the comics. That's not a complaint, but it's so normal to see things happen with the comics only because something is going on in some other media, so when it doesn't happen that's weird.
>>154046871And we all love Nadia.
Ironheart's armor is full of Satanic magic which is literally Satanic.
>>154046408I hope she adopts this armor from Contest of Champions
>>154046408Remember Lila Rhodes? Rhodey's niece that was supposed to be Tony's apprentice and also a tech genius? That Bendis probably knew about but wanted to make his own character to replace her?
>>154046408
She should do more drone warfare. It's the way of the future.
>>154047613Nothing is stopping her from using nepotism to be Riri's sidekick. Wardiamond or something.
>>154047613>>154047963Last time I recall seeing her was in a Secret Wars tie in where she was piloting a mecha with a giant hammerAnd was made Thor of their domainthat could be a fun way to differentiate her from Riri, specializing in megazord sized armors
>>154046408>Riri Williams>Nadia Van Dyne>Toni Ho>Aikku JokinenHow many more teenage girl geniuses are there? Should they form a team? Should they form an idol group?
Why was it so important for her to piggyback on Tony? Why couldn't she just have figured out her own shit and surpassed Tony's tech on her own?
>>154048255Yes, she could have. But tying a new character to an existing one makes them more marketable.
>>154048255Didn't she basically do that? It's been a minute but IIRC the design in the OP was all hers but with tools and materials provided to her.
>>154046446/thread
>>154046743>If we take the actress, she'll be pushing 30 soon so Disney will lose the "young" avenger angleThey already did. They're not going with "Young Avengers" anymore. They dropped the title for just "Champions" because all the actors for the characters are old enough to be in the regular Avengers.
>>154046408I did like her in that one run that played up her being kind of a smug autist.Shame they didn't stick with that. It would have distinguished her from the plague of 2010's female characters who were just kind of blandly great at everything.
>>154048314It's framed that her entire inspiration and understanding of power armor tech was from reverse engineering Tony's stuff.Why couldn't she just have come up with her own tech independently? Multiple Iron Man villains did.
>>154046408I lost all hope for her when she came out to Viv as a cishet organosexual
>>154047613The comic that she was in bombed. Maybe someone who uses wiki for research will have her get killed to motivate another character.
>>154048145was Aikku as genius? I thought she just bonded with the Pod armor by accidentalso>Finesse>Val>Lunella>Jitter>Liberty >Gold Tiger>TrinaryCassie Lang was a scientist in MC2, and I think there was a reference to her working at Pym Labs at one point. I don't think she's as smart as the top geniuses, but that's up to the writersI think Bling somehow became some sort of tech expert/engineer? That was something people said she could offer back when she was up for the election
>>154048704I think Jitter is at least two levels below the rest since she just temporarily gains the relevant knowledge.
She's better than Tony by default because for all her faults she at least didn't illegally lock people up in a supermax prison without due process. It's admittedly a low bar but she clears it.
>>154048827Apparently over time her power will develop to where it's always on.
>>154048852That Tony is dead because he wiped his memories. Just ignore that nuTony said he would do it all again and he was in the right :)
>>154046408Same bro
>>154048145I miss Toni's tanky armorIt was big enough to fit a Hulk
I really liked Ironlad and the OG Young Avengers.
>>154047053Sounds based. Hail Satan
>>154046408So what’s her deal now?She was suppose to be the face of the MCU and the comics. But I don’t hear anyone talk about her. Is she even going to be in Endgame?
>>154046522....sincerely. Said no one ever, sincerely and earnestly.
>>154051438Ones like that look awkward to move in. Titanium Man took human modification to operate. At that point you might be better off just making a piloted mech.
>>154047053>Midnight-verse Riri made a pact with Mephisto to become the armorer of HellI'd be down for it.
>>154051707I think she was last seen backing Tony up early in the last Iron Man run. Can't recall her actually doing anything except just kinda being there.
>>154048255Bendis had insider knowledge in Marvel that Tony Stark was going to die in Endgame. So he made a new Iron character who could piggyback off of a non-existant Tony and collect residuals if Marvel made her for live action.
>>154046408How would you fix her story, /co/?Who would her main opponent (hero/villain) be?
>>154053131Give her fat tits
>>154046961Depending on the version:>MCU Rescue is gold and blue>Rescue Comic is silver and crimson>Rescue 2099 is gold and whiteHeck, even in the comic after Wolverine's death, each of Wolverine's Avenger friends had a different costume.>Luke is completely yellow and has a wrecking ball in his hand.>Jessica is pink and silver.>X-23 is blue and gray.Even the terrible LA series gave him a slightly more original armor with that black and white armor
>>154053131>Her villains need to be magical too, like Iron Man at the beginning, with a battle of Technology vs. Magic against the Mandarin >They need to move beyond the typical "Black girl who has to stand out in a white world" trope. >She should clearly be happy with her life, but now she should embrace Tony's MCU vision of "I must protect the world I've built since becoming a hero, my friends, my family."
>>154054497Anon, she's black.She must have a huge ass, but to balance things out, she should grow up and become an A, I, J, K, or L.
>>154054955>Armored Adventures Rescue was violet and silver>Superior Iron Man Rescue was magenta and silver
>>154047026Judging by the last Nadia thread, people only like her because they want to pair her up with a black guy
>>154055357Pepper has so many styles. Tony too. Rhodey is basic but functional and always iconic silver and black.
>>154055494I think some variation of purple and silver seems consistent for Pepper, they just can't settle on a shadeI'd argue that even the MCU version was a variation on that
>>154047613>Remember Lila Rhodes?>That Bendis probably knew aboutAs much as Bendis would have just created his own OC in hope of adaptation royalty money anyway, there's a good chance he wasn't aware of Lila Rhodes because virtually nobody even read the two stories she was in. Nobody had heard of her until posts like yours started appearing after Riri was introduced, and I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who created Lila Rhodes was also the one who started the "why didn't Benis use her?" thing.She was a blatant copy of Steel's niece from DC anyway, nothing of value was lost by forgetting her, it's just that nothing of value was gained by creating Riri either.
>>154055650Definitely one fixed by adaptations.
>>154048852>illegally lock people up in a supermax prison without due process.>illegallyThey were doing that perfectly legally under a law that had classified unregistered vigilantes as "enemy combatants" so Millar could make some ham-fisted gitmo commentary.Nobody cared when Reed Richards built that prison and started locking up supervillains without due process, a law is passed that allows Iron Man to lock up some D-list superheroes in the same prison and everyone loses their minds.
>>154053113Bendis wouldn't have had insider knowledge for anything past the end of Phase 2 of the MCU, that's when Feige got rid of the 'creative committee' Bendis was part of, and that's why Bendis killed War Machine in Civil War 2 after a movie trailer made it look like he was going to die.What happened is that Bendis got the job of being the new Iron Man writer, talked a big game about how he was going to make Iron Man as important in the comics as he was to the MCU, only to rapidly pivot towards replacing Tony with a teenaged black girl for his daughters to self-insert as, and set his OC up as a successor to Tony in the hope the MCU would follow his lead when Downey decided to step down from the role.
>>154046446it got bonanza
>>154055650I suppose so, I really like that they're going for a more unique color palette. The crimson and silver basically leave her as an intermediate between Tony and Rhodey. Giving her a unique color like blue or shades of purple is excellent for an Iron Woman.I think that's what Riri needs: a different color, nothing like Tony's. Of course, she'll still be a heroine inspired by him—she's a woman in high-tech armor—but the colors are necessary, and it's even better if they reduce it to just two simple ones, not stripes here and there with Iron Man's colors.
>>154060092I really love Riri's pink armor
>>154052269Kind of the point. She had an arc where she became the new Iron Patriot and kept making her armor bigger and bigger.
>>154048391Yurifags are so weird.
What if riri was doing that thing AIM is currently doing in that iron man run happening right now? As in what if she some egotistical know it all who got brought in by aim to try and become the SUPERIOR iron man? Bring in that Lila Rhodes someone brought up and have her become Riris archenemy and maybe have lila be partners with her uncle! Boom done! Oh also has a rivalry with moon girl too.
