Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie
Marvel just released a new deleted scene with Rhodey and Anthony Mackie's Captain America,
involving an Iron Man Armor Wars storyline and Captain America 4's adamantium plot
it looks like before they disowned the Secret Invasion series before they deleted scene,
they were originally going to spend more time setting up why
the Skrulls wanted Iron Man, Stark Tech and armors,
and what they plan to do with adamantium once they'd stolen it from teammates body in the U.S.
government.
Because it gets into the Captain America four footage they just showed off.
Look, like you're moving around pretty good now.
Oh, yeah.
And that upgraded procedure on.
You know, armor beats wings, right? Right.
They got lasers. All kind of start tech.
Yeah. That's it.
and had to wear the hardware for a minute.
Now it feels a lot better. So you.
I know a lot of people are still asking about that dead celestial in the Indian Ocean.
They're finally going to address that during Captain America four.
It's a big part of the plot in adamantium.
So we'll break it all down because this kind of fixes the big Skrull twist that they had with Rhodey.
Because during the actual series, when we saw it didn't make sense at all.
Like, where's he been? What's going on here?
that whole series was a mess.
But this deleted scene goes a long way towards fixing that.

This is the scene of Skrull Rhodey talking to Sam Wilson's Captain America
about why he doesn't need to wear his special leg braces anymore, hinting at him
being a Skrull and his war machine Iron Man armor, the special, quote unquote upgrades
that the Skrulls are working on, which is basically them stealing adamantium
and upgrading a lot of Iron Man's armor that they also plan on stealing.
And that
upgraded procedure Notice during that scene, Skrull Rhodey
goes from being really serious with him to breaking character for a second.
Getting super casual.
You can kind of see the Skrull creeping through the facade.
There.
what he was doing when this scene was taking place was embedding himself
with President Ritson, who was the president of the United States at the time.
This is meant to take place
before the events of Captain America four picks up, with Thunderbolt Ross becoming president.
Skrull, Rhodey, and all the other Skrulls Talos had brought to Earth had replaced
most major world leaders, people in positions of power like Rhodey here,
and were content to rule the Earth from the shadows, using their positions to benefit others.
Skrulls secretly hiding around Earth.
A little over a million of them.
I know we talked about it, but don't. Don't.
Come on.
What?
I'm going to be mad at you because you dodged out of the way, Skrull.
Rhodey here though, was working with graphics hard core group.
They were the ones that were going to wipe out all humans using a couple of different methods
getting into what they're talking about here in this deleted scene, Rhodey specifically
was embedding himself with the president to gain access to all the classified documents details
the United States military had collected on adamantium and gained more access than he already had to.
Iron Man, Stark Tech.
it's also how they got access to all the DNA from these powerful beings
like the Avengers, other cosmic beings to create the Super Skrull.
but another big part of it was also gaining access to all of Iron Man's tech tangentially through
what was happening in damage control, and wrote his own position with Pepper Potts.
even though original recipe Rhodey wasn't a board member or an officer within Stark
Industries, Pepper Potts is still the CEO, but she's beholden to damage control and the U.S.
government damage control.
Now, the way it functions is kind of like the U.S. government.
they're just meant to be a department of the U.S government.
But they didn't start out that way.
that's why Pepper Potts had to give them access to all the stark tech drones during Spider-Man No Way Home.
if you don't remember or they weren't really clear about it,
Iron Man was originally one of the creators of damage control in the MCU.
After the events of the first Avengers movie, he mostly started
that company to clean up the collateral damage from the Avengers battles.
But then eventually, the government fully took over control inserted
using it more like a glorified FBI with way better tech and weapons
That's why damage control was using the stark tech drones against Miss Marvel.
They use those drones for stuff like this all the time, and that's just part of what they do.
Like the drones are the only stark tech they have.
they're kind of like a new secret police inside the U.S government now
just doing whatever they want to like a new version of Homeland Security.
That's even worse.
Skrull roadies position with the president gave him access to damage control at the highest levels.
so the Skrulls became like secret shoppers just running through the government, stark tech, cherry
picking all the most dangerous advanced weapons and hardware that they wanted.
here's where we get to the connection to Captain America four and adamantium.
The Skrulls were trying to gain access so they could upgrade.
As Rhodey says in the deleted scene, all their weapons, all their Iron Man armors, they intended to steal.
you have to remember, Marvel went on and on about how this was also supposed to set up Armor Wars
two for the Rhodey character. The real version of Rhodey.
Originally it was a TV series, then it turned into a movie,
and it was supposed to come out before Avengers Secret Wars.
I think a lot of us think that it got canceled at some point,
because Marvel has been so quiet about it for so many years now.
But it sounds like their original plan per this deleted scene is school.
Rhodey would steal the adamantium that the government found,
or actually Sam Wilson's captain America finds and brings back to the US government.
because that's basically the plot of the scene that they released.
It's CinemaCon for Captain America four.
during that footage, which they didn't release online, Thunderbolt Ross, who's become the new president after
winning a recent election over President Ritchson, thanks Sam Wilson's Captain America here.
This is a preview the scene.
So like it's happening in this moment here, who's just come back from a mission in Mexico
with the new Torres version of Falcon?
This is actually what his Falcon suit looks like.
saying that they secured something that's going to be invaluable
to the U.S government from a Japanese mining site.
Basically, you're taking something from this Japanese mining site
it is supposed to be trace elements of adamantium.
The reason why they find it at some Japanese dig site is because of the comics.
Originally it was Doctor Kenji Oyama who developed this technique to bond adamantium
to human skeleton in his quest to create the ultimate warrior for the Japanese army.
They kind of got into this during the Wolverine movie with Wolverine
in Japan back during World War two, and then during present day when he returns.
During the comics, his notes were stolen, then used by the weapon X program
in the Canadian military to turn Logan into Wolverine, bonding the adamantium to his skeleton
In the MCU, they're changing the origin of adamantium in the comics.
Originally, there are many different forms of the metal, but it starts as something
called proto adamantium or true adamantium.
That's the form that's meant to be totally unbreakable.
In the comics, it forms Captain America Shield, not in the MCU.
That's vibranium in the MCU,
But it's also meant to be the kind of adamantium that covers Wolverine's skeleton.
all other forms of adamantium in the comics are either
different alloys or just less pure versions that aren't nearly as strong.
Fun fact. And super deep cut, too.
There's a deleted scene where Kevin Feige actually plays one of the weapon
techs during the original X-Men 2000 movie, who takes Wolverine's adamantium
claws out of an oven as they're getting ready to bond the adamantium to his skeleton.
But that was the original version of events,
not the version of weapon X that we saw during the Wolverine Origins movie.
They wound up changing all that years later.
maybe someday Kevin Feige will allow that deleted scene to be released.
because it's the only example I can ever find of him actually having a legit
cameo scene inside any Marvel production, ever, in any way.
I do not count the Kevin Feige robot during She-Hulk, because that wasn't actual Kevin Feige
doing the voice for that. Like, that was just completely different.
Referencing Kevin Feige
Proto adamantium was originally created by a U.S.
scientist during World War Two as their experiments in the Weapons Plus program,
the same program that developed the super soldier serum for Captain America.
their department over
history is dedicated to creating better super soldiers using different methods over history.
Adamantium in the super soldiers serum are just examples of that.
proto adamantium or true adamantium
was created using vibranium in an unknown catalyst in the MCU.
They're changing that by saying adamantium largely comes from team it's body that dead celestial.
is meant to be like a treasure trove of cosmic minerals that have all kinds
of crazy properties in everybody around the world, wants them for themselves.
Adamantium is just the most important one.
if you remember during Black Panther Wakanda Forever, Val, the CIA, the government
specifically said President Robinson at the time wanted to make a play for Wakanda's vibranium
like they were looking to get the most powerful resources from around the world
in vibranium at the time, was the only one that they knew about.
Val also said that it was her dream that the United States would control all the world's vibranium.
It sounds like around that time, the government had also discovered that adamantium existed
and were developing plans to acquire it from around the world, not just the celestial body.
so here's
we get back to that new Captain America four footage with them going to Mexico and fighting adamantium.
They're.
I think the idea that Captain America in Falcon's mission to steal some of it from Mexico
is because teammates body during the emergence just shed pieces of adamantium.
Also, it was gestating the earth for thousands of years.
So like, little fragments of adamantium just pushed its way out around the world.
Different places.
but because it's meant to be super rare.
We're talking about trace amounts of adamantium, not like giant hunks of it.
It's not meant to be like the vibranium meteorite in Wakanda, which is huge.
Like even if they continue using as much vibranium as they wanted for
everything, they'd still have enough to last them for thousands of years.
see, if you remember in the comics, the only examples of the strongest, most pure
form of adamantium are Captain America Shield and Wolverine Skeleton.
That's it.
Like, that's how much pure adamantium there is in the world.
the only reason exception to that is actually during Deadpool and Wolverine,
these new katanas that he gets during his student montage
that are given to him by the TVA, are meant to be made out of adamantium,
which is why he's able to fight Wolverine with his adamantium claws.
And it doesn't completely destroy his swords.
at least before Marvel started to disown the entire Secret Invasion series and this whole Skrull.
Rhodey plot.
it sounds like those Skrulls.
We're going to try and steal it after Sam
Wilson's Captain America brought it back to the United States for Thunderbolt Ross.
And that was sort of a lead into the Armor Wars series with the stark tech side of things.
There was a bunch of other Captain America four footage Marvel showed off.
That also involves a very thriller type of Winter soldier
brainwashing plot with the Isaiah Bradley character coming back.
Right after this scene.
A Thunderbolt Ross thanking Falcon for bringing the adamantium back from the Japanese dig site.
Invaluable medal.
He holds a briefing in a totally different scene with a bunch of other really important
figures inside the U.S.
government, including Falcon and Isaiah.
Bradley is also there with him learning about adamantium.
His speech gets interrupted by an old song that begins playing on the PA system in the room.
It wasn't clear what song was playing, but the song triggers programing in Isaiah Bradley,
who's there with them to go full on Winter soldier Hydra on all the government officials in the room
trying to kill them and trying to kill Thunderbolt Ross.
It's clear that he's been brainwashed, which is why I make the Winter Soldier Hydra
brainwashing programing reference in the song triggered that programing.
there's also another person in the room who's programing gets triggered inserts
attacking people as well.
It's not clear who brainwashed him if they have any ties to Hydra,
which was thought to have been wiped out before Avengers Endgame.
Sam Wilson's Captain America, tries to step in and defuze the situation.
Stop Isaiah Bradley from hurting anyone.
But because Isaiah Bradley has super soldier powers, he throws Sam Wilson easily like a rag doll,
then throws a table at everyone even though he's an old man.
Keep in mind what he looked like at the end of the Falcon and Winter soldier series.
Like he is a very old man, but the super soldier serum inside him
still makes him super quick and super strong.
it's a real good reminder that even though old man Steve Rogers
seemed super feeble when we saw him during Avengers Endgame, like, oh, what happened to him?
He lost all his powers.
No, he did not.
He would still be super strong and super quick.
then, Isaiah Bradley escapes by jumping out a window.
after the dust settles, Thunderbolt Ross agrees with Sam Wilson that his inner cabinet, his inner
circle here, has been compromised, saying that either you can't see them or you don't want to.
This will probably inform his decision to become the Red Hawk.
Eventually.
a sort of like the opposite side of the Thanos. Fine.
I'll do it myself kind of situation, like fine, I'll do it myself and gives himself the powers of the Hulk.
then we get to that Armor Wars movie that's mostly supposed to be the real Rhodey learning
about what Skrull Rhodey had done with all of Iron Man's taking armors, the adamantium plot
that they had selling this off, the key villains arming the Skrulls up
and giving access to damage control, who we think we're supposed to be.
Some of the real villains of that movie, like the U.S.
government was during the comic book Armor Wars if you didn't read
the original comic book series, Justin Hammer is another villain during that.
But he's not like the biggest villain.
part of the idea, though, I think in the MCU version, is that Damage Control
also starts messing with Iron Man's tech because they gained access thanks to what
Skrull Rhodey did, and it leads to the resurrection of Ultron's code,
which Iron Man had been keeping in his protection since the events of Avengers Age of Ultron.
It's not totally clear at the Armor Wars movie is still happening.
Some people think that it is. Some people think that it's not.
I guess we'll find out in the next couple of years.
Like if they don't shoot it in the next couple of years, then it's probably not going to happen.
But you can see why Marvel probably deleted this particular scene.
Like they wanted to forget about this whole Captain America for Skrull Rhodey Armor Wars
plot, mostly because they wanted people to forget about Secret Invasion just in general.
And they were going to be changing the plot of Captain America for and Armor Wars.
If that did wind up happening.
Like they're just going to brush over a lot of the Skrull Rhodey stuff.
right now, Marvel just in general, is sort of re-envisioning the way
they're doing their movies on a creative level, in a practical level.
So I wouldn't be surprised if more deleted scenes like this wound up coming out.
Like this is part of some original storyline that they developed back
when they were still doing this original plan of Marvel Phase six movies
