my ideal idea for the war machine movie would be rhodey taking down like 3 different major villains completely on his own with a subplot of him taking down a hydra branch that made its way into the military and also the white house and the only 'cameos' from tony just being two or three phonecalls in the worst possible time about the stupidest shit you could imagine.
like rhodey spying on 2 suspected hydra agents with tense build-up music in the background when his phone screen lights up and hes like 'the fuck do you want tony' in a hushed urgent tone and tony is like "this recipe says to 'fold in the cheese' what the fuck does that mean rhodey please" and the 2 men spot rhodey bc of it and the scene cuts to rhodey dragging the two knocked out nazi shits down the hallway for some impromptu interrogation while pressing the phone to his ear with his shoulder and explaining slowly what tony needs to do
rhodey escaping captivity he got into on purpose so he can get to know more of their plans: tony dude im in the middle of sth here what do you need
tony welding something in his workshop: nothin jim i just remembered when we almost made chlorine gas in the dorm room cause we couldnt get the whiskey stains out of that shitty carpet ahhahaha
rhodey while elbowing the last guard standing to unconsciousness: lmao yeah that was so stupid
