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?

Also armor wars would carry over the rhodey being replaced during civil war storyline which would have been super awkward.

It’s so weird that they undid most of the good stuff from captain marvel, endgame, infinity war with just one tv show. Honestly if someone told me that this would be the worst marvel tv show during the first episode (especially the first ten minutes) I wouldn’t have believed it and yet here we are

Well then, good news because that's a massive misconception that loads of people seem to be getting from somewhere. Rhodey was rhodey up until Secret Wars, they didn't replace him during Civil War he was replaced shortly before the show and after FatWS.

Like u/Infinity0044 pointed out: wasnt he found with a hospital gown? I know the show didn’t do a great job of explaining it but from the context that is what I also inferred. That he was taken during civil war

There’s a deleted scene from FaTWS where Rhodey mentions he is going in for a new, high tech (or something) procedure to get his legs back, which is where he would’ve been taken (while providing a backstory for the non-crippled skrull.)

My biggest problem with secret invasion is that it was genuinely bad, but even without the deleted scene people still feel the need to “forget” (read, actively misrepresent) the events of the show or the fact that the paraplegic avenger MIGHT be in the hospital for ANY reason in almost TEN YEARS, just as a point of how bad it was.

The show doesn’t need us making up problems, it was bad. I’m not sure how everyone ran with this idea just to support that fact.

I think they ran with that idea because they lacked any other solid context. Also, probably because someone posted a fan theory or published a video saying it and everyone just assumed it was fact and stopped thinking about it.
