I just assume that Tony outfitted every suit with a spare reactor. Would be sucky to have the one reactor run out of juice, that's also required to keep your heart beating.

BTW, don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but there's a livestream of some graffiti artists doing a display for Avengers in London where twitter users can vote who is put on next. Loki was first (and is complete), Thor looks mostly done and Iron Man has been started on (Hawkeye is currently in the lead to be next):

WOW, that's kick butt people would allow that sort of thing. Not just for the movie but the Artists. There are some Great graffiti artists out there.

In the EMH episode "Alone Against A.I.M" Rhodey made it very clear that he didn't want to be a superhero and maybe the MCU version feels the same way.

Rhodey was only in the suit to show it off in the Stark Expo, he just managed to get dragged into hero action due to Ivan attacking the Expo.

Yeah Rhodey comes off as really dedicated to the military. I don't think he has any interest to join The Avengers quite honestly even if approached.

And those are perfectly fine explanations. So why didn't they bother to offer any such explanation briefly in the Avengers movie? I know War Machine isn't that popular on these forums and some of you quite frankly wish he'd never existed in the first place, but he's an important character to younger-generation fanboys who grew up with Marvel in the 90s and 00s, and he's an important character to the MCU to those general audiences who don't know a thing about the comics.

There's no reason to hide War Machine in the corner and pretend he doesn't exist or matter that much to the continuity of the film universe. The MCU has already established him as a vital part of the Iron Man mythos, and a prominent figure in the US armed forces. So his absence is definitely noticeable in the Avengers continuity.

You're barking up the wrong tree. I actually really liked War Machine/Rhodey. I was actually asking these questions in the very beginning during pre-production.

I even thought that having a cameo from him was going to be a given but I turned out to be wrong.

With that said I don't really need them to give that much exposition on something the audience should have figured out in IM & IM2. It's really not that big of a deal.

I would prefer nothing over a second of wonky exposition.

but that's what the paldium did, power the Arc reactor. The new Element replaced the paladium because the paladium was killing him.
Remember if Tony had spares he would have grabbed a spare reactor after grabbing the original one Pepper placed under glass.

Also, does anyone know if any livestream or anything is planned for the UK press conference or the red carpet of the UK premiere? Totally would love to watch and see if I can spot my twitter friends (with their, uh, large green "Loki Rules #LokiWatch" banner who say they're just opposite the press pen on the red carpet)

But fully suited up, could he just take out the reactor and replace the paladium?

He didn't have spares during the events of IM.

I would think he geared up all of his spare suits with reactors during the gap between the first and second IM.

Well while we were waiting the other day for the rough-cut Screening of Amazing Spider-Man, I asked one of the Sony guys if spidey was hidden in Avengers somewhere and he said "No that fell through" no other details. so there was some deal going for a cameo.

Yeah but that's like storing a loaded gun unsafely.

I love War Machine. The action in any future MCU films with War Machine and Ironman fighting back to back will be awesome.

As far as Avengers goes War Machine maybe doing something else. He will be prominent in the IM Franchise but the Avengers is something else entirely. They can patch up the War Machine story hole in IM3.

 

[craigdbfan]

Tony seems like that type of guy though.

 

[mc7791]

see, I've noticed that before as well, How the heck was Rhodey's armor powered the first time around?
I'm thinking Tony at THAT point has the old reactor in his chest, I don't recall any spare reactors around until Tony creates the new element

looks like Tony created arc reactors for all the other armors. I did see a reactor in all of the chests of the armors at Tonys lab

 

[Kingdork]

Found another spot on the same site. This one is Thor centered. Lots of new cool stuff t:

Enjoy!

 

[Vartha]

But fully suited up, could he just take out the reactor and replace the paladium?

one point in time Tony only has two reactors for his chest the orginal one from the cave which gets placed under glass. Then he gets back to the states and updates it, making the 2nd one THAT one is taken by Stane to power HIS Warmonger Armor leaving Tony with the old reactor from the cave.
In IM 2 the paladium is killing him, I always assumed it wasn't that long after the first movie and didn't have time to make any spares

That was awesome!

"Thor, light them up!"

They just played the longest Avengers tv ad yet. Hulk on the Quinjet, each character highlighted, a scene of Iron Man being propelled backwards which I hadn't noticed before, and Hulk, Smash!

lol I pictured the Quinjet listing to what ever side Hulk was on lol

What about Thor and Cap?

Well, look how fast he whips up a new armor. A tiny reactor should be a piece of cake.

 

[The Morningstar]

Hulk on the Quinjet? Sure it's the Quinjet?

 

[BigThor]

Yeah all of Starks suits already had arc reactors in them whenever they were shown in Iron Man 2.

 

[Vartha]

I'm just thinking like Craig said that each armor has it's own power, but I'm betting to use the Uni-Beam and higher powered IM weapons you need the Chest-Arc.

 

[Vartha]

Yeah all of Starks suits already had arc reactors in them whenever they were shown in Iron Man 2.

But like I said it's like storing a loaded gun unsafely, even WITH Javis guarding the empty armor

 

[BigThor]

Well that just showed how wreckless Stark is because those armored DID have reactors in them it's not hypothetical.
