Honestly Rhodey’s interaction with with Cap and Natasha in Infinity War had me confused and a bit pissed. Like ok, yeah, maybe he thinks they need Cap and the others, but to be all buddy buddy with them after they hurt Tony is so out ot character.

The only explanation I have is that Rhodey DOESN’T know about what happened in Siberia, about Tony’s parents and the lying, and being left there while injured. Sure, maybe he knows there’s something Tony’s not telling him, but for the most part, it was the accords and their disagreement over them.

If he knew, sure, he would work with Steve and the others, but not before punching him in the face and say “not cool, Cap.” And then continue on a plan.

Oh my god finally someone said it.

I honestly think Marvel wanted to have their cake and eat it too: they wanted the (cheap) shock and drama of the intragroup fights in Civil War but they didn’t want to deal with the emotional fallout and the consequences (read: the lack of trust, the pain, and the terrible state of interpersonal relationships; it wouldn’t be so easy for them to fight alonside each other again). So they didn’t.

They wrecked most of the emotional bonds the Avengers had as a group in Civil War, then pretended like everything was mostly fine in Infinity War, with the only character that expressed any discomfort about the state of things or about the possibility of assembling the team again being Tony, who was therefore once again unfairly depicted as the one that’s irrational and egotistic and should get over himself since no one else seems to have a problem with the idea.

I’m also not happy that they had Tony swallow his pride and decide to call Steve when the obvious solution was for him to give Bruce the flip phone?? Bruce could have called. Anyone could have made that call, but Bruce was an original Avenger and someone Team Cap would trust implicitly if he called saying there was an imminent attack and they needed backup. It would have accomplished the same results without making Tony do something he clearly didn’t want to do, they just wanted to have that scene where he’s conflicted and trying to find another way (which are you seriously telling me he couldn’t think of another way? The man is a genius. If I could immediately think of an alternative, then so could he).

Wonderfully delivered

PREACH

FINALLY! I’m not the only one who was so confused about that interaction! Like wtf Marvel? Siberia was not just a brotherly tussle, or a conflict of interests. Steve had the intent to kill – he and Bucky beat Tony down til he stayed down and then left him in a HYDRA base in a disabled suit. TONY STARK WAS LEFT TO DIE. And then a Rhodey welcomes him back like an old friend who’s been on a very long trip. Not to mention triple agent Romanoff who kinda, sorta betrayed Tony too. Again WTF MARVEL!? Let’s not normalize these behaviours, or at least branch out to someone not Tony, let someone else be betrayed and tossed aside next film huh?
