He looks different now because they've opted to go the same route for Brolin as they did for Ruffalo with the Hulk; a more direct translation of the actors face to allow their expressiveness to show through. Eliminating the ridges above his upper lip probably makes that easier. If he truly is as much of the central character of A3 as they have been saying he is, I can see why they'd want to do that.

I think if they would have blocked up the top of his head and tweaked the eyes slightly it would have been no big deal. Probably would have looked fine. At this point i'm just glad he's not retconned into a transitioning minority.

Fuck this Warmachine shit, totally unbelievable! He would have to have some sort of full body metal exoskeleton to be able to move. How is he getting that lol?

Either way, identical scenario in which the case was "too easy", meaning he could be fixed. I mean, he was already walking (sort of) the last time we saw him. And clearly he's suited up, and we haven't been given any hints as to who else might be piloting it.

Well, on the other hand, Dr. Strange also has the entire story around Benjamin Pratt essentially becoming a Wizards just to walk again and Strange (pre-discovering magic) going on and on about how it is impossible this could've happened.

That guy apparently had an irreparable injury, or, as is typical in movies, there's a disparity in the storytelling.

As long as he is inside the suit, then it could augment any movement problems he may have. Stark predictive AI + mecha suit...done deal.

So stark FLYING in the suit is believable, but Rhodey walking all if a sudden throws your suspension of disbelief out the window?

I wonder if this will be another Robert Downey Jr and friends movie.

Also no more Loki for the love of god, Loki's casting is the worst. I don't want to see anything to do with Loki.

That back injury thing from Doctor Strange is believed to be the guy in the Hammer Industries suit that got "twisted".

What if Rhodey isn't in the War Machine armor but it's him in the Hulk Buster? It did look like it landed a little awkwardly in the trailer.

I figured it was Banner in the Hulk Buster since you saw him working on it + him being weary of going back to Hulk since he never knows for sure if he can come back from it (Ragnarok)

So he might end up hulking out mid fight and join in on that closing shot charge? That would make for one hell of a chest buster scene.

Unless the theory that Thanos pulls Hulk from Banner is true. Then shit gets crazy.

I don't recall Tony needing his legs to fly around much in the suit, much less that that portion couldn't be controlled otherwise.

That said, Rhodey's crippling in Cap 3 always bugged me. Cheadle doesn't have enough screen time in these movies for any impact to matter, and its not like Marvel needs to set up a parapalegic hero ahead of time. The only way it makes any sense to me is:

At the end of Avengers 4, Tony gets the full on Infinity Gauntlet. Tony's God Complex issues that have been building for a decade finally come to a head, and he brings Cap and whomever else get killed in 3 back to life (all the Chris Evans contract smoke convinces me there's fire there), restores Rhodey's spine, etc., and goes on about how he can finally "Fix Everything". Then Cap gives him the old "You know what you have to do" speech, and Tony negates the gauntlet out of existence (which is the only way to write the gauntlet out of that universe), negating everything Thanos / Tony did with the full gauntlet (and rekilling Cap, recrippling Rhodey, etc.)

Think about it: The big twist ending of 3 is they kill off Cap. Then the comic book nerds tell everyone in the gap that the gauntlet will bring Cap back to life in the next movie. Then the final trailer has a bit of Cap alive again. Then the twist ending of 4 is that Cap stays dead. Then all those announced but untitled 2020 Marvel releases get revealed: The Invincible Iron Man (with Rhodey flying), Captain Bucky, etc.

Haha. You've done something very few have ever managed to do on this forum. You've gotten everyone here to agree. Too bad for you everyone agrees that you're wrong
