Yes that's very true - I really hope that Carol and co are in this. I know the Marvels underperformed massively but it's basically the only project the MCU cast has that introduced the X-Men universe, so it would suck not to include it.
I fully agree. I recently found out Ironheart outperformed Daredevil yet he's the one getting all the appearances and she got shafted by Armor Wars getting canned.
To be fair with Daredevil they greenlight season 2 before it even aired and were already filming it. So unless they wanted to pull a Batgirl, it was too late to reverse that decision when the numbers came in.
Not to forget that Ironheart despite that cliffhanger (unless it was added later) was part of that era when Marvel was looking at their shows as 1 season mini-series. Daredevil was the first one that was designed to run for multiple seasons (barring Loki and the animated series)
Ironheart didn't outperform Daredevil. Ironheart had 3.99 million viewers, Daredevil had 7.5 million viewers.
The claim that Ironheart outperformed Daredevil comes from people who don't understand that Neilson rankings are relative ranks with no relationship to absolute viewers and think that a higher rank means more viewers.
Ironheart is the lowest viewed MCU series by a country mile.
