Riri Williams continues to be a toxic menace to everyone she comes into contact with.
In Bad Magic, she earns the enmity of Joe, who revealed in the last episode that he’s actually Ezekiel Stane like anyone cares, when he is jailed because she left behind something in a murder scene that is tracked back to him.
Naturally, he gets recruited into Robbins’s gang, because Robbins is still mad that Riri caused the death of his BFF.
Meanwhile, Riri’s mom brings her to some cameos that are linked to some past MCU IPs but eh, who cares, and those two ladies help to uncover the mystery behind the hood piece that powers Robbins’s abilities.
How does the “I do nothing useful” Miss Thang respond to all of this help handed to her? Well, she repays Ronnie’s kindness by being a rude POS of a brat.
Oh, and she also insists on working on NATALIE that is scaring the hell out of her love interest because NATALIE is becoming just like his dead sister. Not that Riri cares, because damn it, the world exists to please and appease her and all you people better don’t forget that.
I’m sorry, but am I supposed to root for this horrible, horrible creature? Putting her down would be the best happy ending ever for this tone-deaf season.
There has better be some great epiphany and remorse within the next two episodes or… oh wait, this is a present-day MCU show.
God, what a flaming bag of poo this show is turning out to be. It’s a good thing that the show is watched by only ten or so people out there, or else more people can get hurt. This show is a menace!
