Why does the Tony/Rhodey broship in the MCU feel so lacking compared to Thor/Loki and Steve/Bucky/Sam /co/?
>>92965919
Because the actor left.
>>92965919
I didn't even noticed the change of Rhodes.
>>92965919
They really should have just had RDJ play Rhodey after Terrance left. I bet one exec even thought about it for a little bit.

>RDJ and RDJ in blackface
>>92966183
Tropic Thunder RDJ is better than most black actors
>>92965919
Because the MCU basically sucked all the fun traits out of Rhodey and gave them to Tony.
>>92966183
>>92965919
you remember back when they tried to make RDJ look more like Stark and didn't just let him literally just be himself.
>>92966207
Should they have casted him in every role, then?
>RDJ
>Black & Middle Eastern RDJ
>Bald RDJ with beard
>RDJ in drag
>>92966235
>>92966260
>With Yellow face RDJ as the real Mandarin
I want to see this movie.
>>92966260
>RDJ as the box of scraps

Writing-wise, he never really plays a big part.
He has nothing to do with the villain in IM2 so nothing feels personal to him and even to Tony.
IM3 had a really good chance to give him some spotlight in the third act but he just takes the president and flies away. No fucking War Machine action at all.
>>92966561
Yeah, they really should've shown more of his missions in 3.
>>92965919
because they are not actually friends.
Sure, they hang out a lot, but every time tony goes to him and asks for his help, rhodey turns him down. it's shown a bunch of times in the movies, everytime tony needs help, he can rely only on his creations, other people can't or flat-out refuse to help him. At the same time he is shown like a complete spoiled asshole who does his best to drive people away and then wonders why he's so alone.

>broship
True broship in MCU is Steve/Bucky/Sam triangle. Thor/Loki is more like real brothers rivarly, and Stark does not have friends. Well, maybe Scott and Pablo are some good example of broship.
