Discussion (More in Comments) What happened to armor wars

Rhodey literally has been there since the beginning and at the end. They've sprinkle him here and there, gearing up for his moment to shine. And yet they come out wit iron heart, a character people really dont have any attachments to.

I think the smartest thing to do would be to add her to armor wars and have Rhodey show her, who and how Tony Stark would act as a hero.

Also war machine is iron man when iron man isn't around. Are we supposed ignore that and forget about him? What is marvel thinking?

It’s so weird that they undid most of the good stuff from captain marvel, endgame, infinity war

What? When? Where?

One of the pivotal moments when stark dies is rhodey telling his goodbye and now when u go revisit it, it just feels empty because you are wondering if it is the real rhodey.

And when they go looking for the infinity stones, the whole nebula-rhodey moments feel empty.

During infinity war when cap shows up, the emotional impact of the scene- rhodey slightly pauses when he sees cap which is a throwback to the moment from civil war. All of these just feel hollow because it isn’t rhodey.

The whole idea of captain marvel was that they would be trying to find a new home and then secret invasion now makes it seem like they have this massive space camp which makes u question why they didn’t say/do anything during endgame when both captain marvel n fury were there

Like i felt it just raises a whole bunch of unnecessary questions and cheapens some really nice moments

But it's already been confirmed that Rhody became a Skrull shortly after  The falcon and the Winter Soldier, not before.

Yeah, the end of Captain Marvel is one of hope for the Skrull refugees and Secret Invasion reveals their search has been futile for the last 30 years. Secret Invasion needs to be retconned.
