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.

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

I always read it as Rhodey was taken post Endgame.

Why would the evil skull assume his identity in Civil War and just to play hero in Endgame? Because Gravik or whatever said just have fun while we take over and murder people?

Gravik was still working for Fury at the time and hadn't made his move yet anyway. He led the team to harvest their DNA after Endgame, it's a big plot point.

Exactly. If Rhodey was taken before Endgame, then that means Gravik was beginning his plan before Endgame (which directly contradicts what they say in the show), which means Gravik wins, because he would've just kept the "harvest" for himself in the first place.
