Captain America: Civil War - 26 WTF Moments

6. War Machine Is Legit Invincible

It's a little shameful that War Machine is pretty much relegated to the Team Iron Man whipping boy (in all honesty, it feels suspiciously like the scripters couldn't find a way to have both Falcon and Rhodey compete for the same sort of characterisation), but it's lucky he's clearly some sort of demi-God.

When Tony's best friend plummets to Earth, with Falcon and Iron Man desperately trying to catch him (which they could have easily because both are capable of speeds far greater than Rhodey's descent speed, but whatever) it's a horrible moment. It's legitimately more heart-wrenching than Gwen's death in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and it hurts so much because you know there's definitely no possible way Rhodey could survive.

But then, instead of his body turning into milkshake inside his big metal suit, Rhodey survives without life threatening injuries (just life changing ones). Someone needs to look into how he survives as a matter of great priority.
