Riri says in episode one of the show that Tony Stark would be nothing without his money. She also has a desire to be greater than Tony Stark. She has her own lab at MIT with funding, a full ride scholarship, and she helps people cheat as a side hustle and she still complains about how hard her life is. I don't understand what the show is trying to say. It just makes Riri seem insufferable, jealous, and out of touch.
Also, she says she wants to make something that people will notice. She says no one cares about more boring technologies that improves the world and that's why she wants to make an iron man suit. So is her goal to get a lot of publicity? Seems like a really bad goal for a superhero.
I think whoever wrote this script should be replaced by AI. Chatgpt could do a better job.
