I want to chalk up Rhodey’s sheer lack of interaction with his literal best friend: Tony, (who was lost in space) on him apparently having been a skrull during all of Avengers: Endgame but skrull!rhodey is also NOT canon in my mind, and never will be, so…

Like, you’re telling me that Tony’s last interaction with his oldest friend wasn’t even with the actual man and Rhodey won’t ever get to say goodbye either? Wtf?

peter, nauseous as fuck but refuses to admit that he feels ill:

rhodey who attended college with tony and knows the exact face he makes when he over does it, glances at peter (who is literally like a carbon copy of tony) and asks on instinct: what did you take?

peter, forcing his stomach to not spew everywhere, trying and failing to act casual: what? nothing. i didn't take anything.

rhodey activating his mom voice colonel voice: peter.

peter: i did what i had to. (reaches into his pocket and pulls out $40) and i won the bet.

rhodey: what did you do?

peter: i drank a gallon of bleach

rhodey, closes his eyes and takes a deep breath trying to process how peter is simultaneously better and worse than tony ever was: why...did you drink a gallon of bleach?

peter: i lost my backpack and needed money to buy a new one. and i cant ask may. shes bought seven over the last two months

rhodey:

tony, loudly clearing his throat and shaking out a VERY long sheet of paper: my dearest rhodes

rhodey, glancing up: yes?

tony, assuming a strong stance like he’s about to serenade him: my dearest platypus, words cannot express my adoration for you, nor my dedication to your side. nay, but I shall attempt anyways. your hair is silky like a really nice pillow, your eyes as deep as a river. your nose was drawn by the gods, and your mouth was painted with a rose. 

rhodey, turning to tony’s literal girlfriend, eyes wide: you aren’t going to stop him???

pepper, tony’s aforementioned literal girlfriend, turning the page in her book: if I stop him now, he’ll just start over

tony, getting louder: YOUR HANDS-

Young Avengers Comic Stans, are you ready for the influx of MCU people using our tag even though Kamala Khan has her own comic team?

[hero-i-am-not]

Rhodey is such an underrated character, and it frustrates me to no end!! It's really interesting to see military personnel portrayed the way Marvel has for Rhodey, and he's such an important person for others like Tony as well. He calls him out, supports him, let's Tony support him back...Rhodey deserves more LOVE

And as a person I wish we got to learn more about him. I want to know more!! I suppose I say that about most characters though.

MARVEL CHARACTER EVOLUTION

JAMES "RHODEY" RHODES/WAR MACHINE

[thena0315]

Favorite War Machine/Iron Patriot Suit?

[pompousspaniard]

It's such a shame that the colour scheme is so ugly but MK 42 really is one of the best Iron Man armours. In-universe, it's a reasonable step forward from suitcase and weird-flying-pod-wrist-detecting-thing armours and it's also a really elegant way of doing CGI while keeping the realistic look.

The one downside of the CGI point is that all previous armours got sort of retconned to fit MK 42's design philosophy for the big fight scene at the end of Iron Man 3, which kind of defeats the purpose of the first suit-up scene, which implies MK 42 is the first of its kind.

But aside from that, it's easily a top 3 Iron Man armours if you ask me, along with MK 46 and MK 3. Nothing tops MK 3. I will die on this hill.

Also I'm gonna get crucified for this but Iron Patriot fucks. Way harder than the later War Machine designs (the first one is still the best one)

Anyway can you tell I rewatched the Iron Man trilogy? Cause I did.

Ok byeeeeee

The lack of scenes between Tony and Rhodey in Endgame is criminal, and I do still think that all these years later.

Literally, Peter freshly back from the “dead” interacts with Tony more during the final battle and leading up to Tony’s death more than Rhodey does the entire movie. How? Why?

[spooky-donut-ghost-house]

I think it's a stupid decision to completely forget Kang and replace him with Doctor Doom

Doom is a major threat yes but imo he is a significantly lesser threat compared to Thanos and Kang

Why couldn't they just recast Kang? They did it with Bruce, they did it with Rhodey, they did it with Red Skull hell they recasted Cassie in Quantumania

So why not recast Kang? There's plenty of black male actors who can play him far better than JM did like Denzel Washington

Do you know how awesome it would've been to see Denzel as Kang?

They could've recasted Kang it's not a situation like Chadwick Bozeman and Black Panther but it's obvious that even that doesn't really matter because William Hurt has been dead for two years and they replaced him with Harrison Ford

Now you're probably thinking "Well, wouldn't it be weird if Kang suddenly looked different from the last time we saw him?" Not really nobody questioned how Bruce changed between The Incredible Hulk to The Avengers or how Rhodey changed between Iron Man 1 to Iron Man 2 or how Cassie changed between Endgame to Quantumania and nobody is gonna question how Ross changed from Civil War to Brave New World

Not to mention by retconning Kang they basically made Loki and Quantumania redundant

Literally if Quantumania and Loki were there to set up Kang as the next big bad and now they're not even using Kang anymore then Quantumania and Loki were just a waste of everyone's time

Iron Man 3 (2013) Review

potential spoilers ahead...

This movie is possibly my favorite Iron Man focused movie, don't make me choose. For the longest time, it was my overall favorite Marvel movie, hands down. Not sure it still holds that title, but it is certainly still high on the list.

The effects throughout the movie are well done. The Iron Legion (all the suits at the end of the movie) and the A.I.M. super soldiers are both great examples of how good this movie's effects were. The movie's soundtrack is also really good. Both the backing tracks and more noticeable songs are well chosen and add intensity or vulnerability to the scenes where they would apply.

Robert Downey Jr. is, as always, the perfect Tony Stark. He improvised so many of the defining lines for the character. RDJ was basically just being himself and managed to portray an amazing Tony Stark.

Tony's arc in this movie comes with so much needed growth. To fully understand the character journey he goes on, you do need to know what happened to him in The Avengers (2012) meaning at the very least you would need to watch 523 minutes, or as a normal person would say 8 hours and 43 minuets, and that's not counting any non-Iron Man movies that give further context to the 2012 movie. If you wanted to watch the movies that give even more context to the 2012 Avengers that watch time would jump by 2 movies, both with roughly 2 hours of runtime. His journey comes to a well deserved, narratively satisfying end in this movie. The decision for Tony to remove the Arc Reactor and settle into being a normal person again feels rightfully earned. Part of the reason I've always loved this one so much was that it gave the trilogy such a well deserved and satisfying ending.

tony, patting rhodey sympathetically on the back: sometimes, there are people in this world that are just really fucking stupid. 

rhodey, giving him A Look™️:

tony, smirking: not me, though. I’m the best. 

[headcanonthings]

Rhodey: *drags Tony out of the lab*

Tony: What’s that smell?

Rhodey: Fresh air.

Tony: I don’t like it.
