What exactly was the point of Killing Rhodey off?

It be too obvious if we brought Goliath back to life a month prior

>>87226564
trigger Tony

>>87226564
Benis thought he was gonna die in the movie

>>87226675
Literally this.

>>87226564
Either >>87226675 or they kill off all the major players in the MCU so they can bring them all back at once for the big movie in two years.

Shock Value.

>>87226564
So T'Challa can make his move on Carol.

>>87226808
T'Challa can do so much better than fucking Carl. I better not see that shit even hinted at.

>>87226564
You can't have two black iron men, so he had to go to make room for Bendis' OC.

>>87226564
So they can make her lesbian.

>>87226564
He's on, like, his third flesh body anyway so everybody knows Tony will just fix it.

>>87226675
Probably.

>>87227056
>He's on, like, his third flesh body anyway so everybody knows Tony will just fix it.
Oh yeah wasn't he like a cyborg for a while or some shit?

>>87226564
Carol character assassination

So two white people could angst

>>87227056
>Tony will just fix it.
Isn't he dying too? I thought that was confirmed.

They killed Bruce and Rhodey to make Tony desperate and emotionally compromised. He'll make a big mistake because of the mindset he's in.

No man can do better than this

>>87226564
Like every other fridging, to motivate the main characters.

Because Bendis is a fudgepacker that still believes someone HAS to die in order for an event to "matter".

As for why Rhodey in particular:
>>87226637
and
>>87226675

>>87226564
Logically it would be to motivate Carol and Tony, but in context of the story it comes off like an afterthought and >>87226675 seems more likely.

>>87226839
hes gonna join Tony
Hope he at least got some outta this

WE

>>87230936
Wuz

Bendis doesn't get royalties from him.

>>87231005
iron maine

>>87226564
So the whitey leads could be triggered by the death of their shared Big Black Cock

Gotta make room for Riri Williams. Now there can be drama about her taking over his role somewhat.

>>87226564
So that Bendis can play "Take a penny, leave a penny" with minority characters to build up his ego.

>>87226852

Rhodey is War Machine, not Iron Man

>>87226564

So that he can make Riri the "black Iron Man" instead of Rhodey who has been around for ever

because he has daughters that are black

>>87226675
This and because they needed to justify Riri. IT FUCKING DIDNT
