WARNING: The following contains the main spoilers for the Disney+ minister Iron.
After the red Herrings to Rods and Agatha alongMarvel kinematic universe finally introduced Mephisto in the last moments of Iron. Mephisto, essentially the devil of Marvel Comics Lore, is played here for a smooth, with beard Sacha Baron Cohen.
Its introduction to the MCU has important implications for future movies such as Avengers: Doomsday.
But Mephisto’s existence is not the biggest game change in the last five minutes Iron. To understand the impact of these moments on Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) and the MCU, there is a lot Look with us It needs to unpack.
Who is Mephisto?

Mephisto is inspired by Mephistopheles, the devil with whom Dr. Faust made a damned bargain in the famous German legend. Marvel’s Mephisto has the same thing as devils with comic book characters, including Ghost Rider, The Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man, among others. Of course, these offers always have some horrible price.
What happened between Mephisto and Riri?

After spending the season crying the death of his stepfather and best friend Natalie (Ross lyric), Riri yielded to his darkest wishes and reached an agreement to return to Natalie of the dead. The capture, according to Mephisto, is “nothing (she) misses: a frustrating cost is very involved as his immortal soul.
What is the importance of this choice?

Riri’s decision to go along with Mephisto is a great narrative swing for the MCU, as needed a divisive character And it has double bass due to its worst impulses. The Arc de Riri throughout the season sought to learn how to let people come in and face their penalty, but instead chose to find an out -of -box solution for the “problem” of Natalie’s absence. Thus, a character we should take root while growing during his trip made an obviously wrong choice.
Riri is not the first Marvel hero to go wrong: Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) enslaved a whole village in Rods and went to the complete massive killer to Doctor Strange at Multivers of Madness. But Riri’s trip was presented very differently. Rods He showed Wanda apologizing for his actions to Westview, who started as an accident. Multiverse of Madness He implied that Wanda had been corrupted by the influence of Darkhold, the mighty book of the damn.
Riri’s choice was totally his own. And, although he doubled that none of his friends or family would have no veinAnthony Ramos)).
Perhaps Riri’s arrogance led her to believe that Mephisto could overcome, or perhaps his pain was so strong that he did not care what happened to him. But in any way, to Iron We see a character who could not be up to date with the lessons he had learned throughout his bow.
Resurrection to the MCU

Riri’s option of resurrected Natalie by Mephisto also has important implications for the nature of death in the MCU. We have already seen that the dead characters return in one form or another before, but it has usually been an alternative version or a variant of time, such as Loki (Tom Hiddleston) to Loki or Gamora (Zoe Saldaña) to Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. But this was only Natalie, back from the dead, apparently exactly as she was just before she was killed.
Natalie’s resurrection marks the first time that a character has returned to life immediately to the main MCU. (Some more exceptions include Phil Couulson at Shield agents and Elektra to BoldBut his relationship with Marvel’s sacred chronology is a bit darkened.)
The implications of Mephisto’s resurrection skills are huge for loved characters such as Wanda Maximoff, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) or even Tony Stark, especially because we already know Robert Downey Jr. Return to MCU as Doctor Doom. Who else can deal with the devil to recover these heroes?
“Ironheart” changes the game

While receiving at Iron It has been a bit mixed: Many fans suspect that haters have been reviewing the bombings due to the protagonist’s race and ethnicity, while critical responses have been more positive, there is no doubt that this series made great movements for the MCU.
Here to Look with usWithout a doubt, we are fans, and we are excited to see how the dark decision of Riri will direct the greatest narrative of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
