Theory: Rhodey has been a Skrull since Iron Man 2. When the Skrulls went to replace Rhodey he was meeting with Don Cheadle, there was a mix-up and the Skrull has been using Rhodey’s memories with Don Cheadle’s body. Everyone knows he’s a Skrull, but it’s useful to have one for-sure Skrull on the books.

Edited to add second theory: Rhodey is dead. Armour Wars will be about getting StarkTech out of the hands of the Skrulls and Don Cheadle is actually playing the villain.
Do we have good enough support for spoiler tags yet to have these kind of threads here? 😅 Voyager app doesn’t have any fancy editor at least.
- We do have spoiler tags, example below in the drop down, but I would just assume the thread would be full of spoilers as it's for discussion of the episode. I make the discussion posts on the Movies community as well and I usually put (Spoilers) in the title. I just forgot to here. Would that be preferable?
  
  spoiler
  
  a bunch of spoilers
  
  You just have to type 3 colons, a space, "spoiler" and then whatever you want the the "title" of the spoiler to say, e.g. "spoiler" or "nsfw". Then next line, type the spoiler text, then next line 3 more colons. Like this:
  
  ::: spoiler spoiler
  a bunch of spoilers
  :::
  
  I've now typed "spoiler" too many times and it looks weird to me...
  
  So just a heads up, these spoilers are not rendered by the Voyager / wefwef app and instead I just see your markup as text.
  
  Edit: It’s a known issue.

  Ok this used to work with Liftoff, but it's not hiding spoilers anymore for some reason. So I'd be careful with spoilers at all for now.
There is no way those helicopters would have gotten anywhere near the presidential motercade lol. That definitely took a bit of the immersion out of the episode for me
- Yeah, my first thought too. They clear the airspace around the POTUS anywhere in the world. The skrulls were pretending to be Russians, no way they'd be able to hide from British radar
- I don't know about elsewhere in the world, but if you've ever seen the President arrive somewhere in the US this was laughable. There's helicopters circling for miles
So where's the real Rhodey? Is he dead or maybe in one of those pods?
Best episode of the season so far. Loved the back story between Fury and his wife.
