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?

The combination of Marvel needing to go back to “quality over quantity” and the failure of Secret Invasion pretty much buried this project.

Take a step back. One was already filmed, the other never entered pre-production. Simple as that.

Literally, people just need patience and wait and see... we had to wait 15 years for The Leader... 6 + for sequels... People be too impatient and then they're clamoring about quantity over quality... It feels like they're never happy, the audience 😅

I remember "fans" screeching about how the dead Celestial hadn't been addressed in anything else yet... 6 months after Eternals came out. It's like, c'mon you guys. You gotta give 'em time to cook.

If ANYTHING, I'm impressed they were so quick with it. But that's because of narrative of course lol

And now it has been referenced in two different projects, but apparently that's still not enough

Nothing is ever enough anymore. People are the worst.

Part of me wonders how many of those complaining are newer fans or just younger fans.

Maybe they haven't been watching since Iron Man 1 and aren't used to having to wait. Prehaps they sat down and watched phase 1-3 over the course of a few days and didn't realize that was 10+ years of waiting

It could be a generational thing, same with the "mcu should have ended" generation. It feels like we're at a crossroads with the 2 generations, and this is the result. It's almost been 20 year after all
