War Machine always plays that part.

You can't expect Rhodes to steal spotlight from Tony. It just doesn't work. At his best, he can replace Tony for some time.

Same with Wolverine and X-23, Steve and Bucky, Hulk and Cho, The Thing and She-Thing or Miss Thing, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, Dr. Strange and Dr. Voodoo and so on.

So I don't understand your complaint.

He plays a part alright - he's Tony's best friend, his moral compass at times.

Both Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle did poorly, imo... and the character wasn't given enough time to shine, we can agree on that... but he was never meant to be "one of the greats".

Perhaps there was a way to utilize the character better, but it was never one of MCU's priorities. Tony was - and we should be glad RDJ delivered, even though IM 2 and IM 3 were huge disappointments.

Rose in TRoS.

Though that was a good thing, loved her uselessness. Better than wasting our time with a pointless arc back in TLJ.

Name a character more useless than this! hahaha

Lol, Josh will always be more useless than that creature.

To be fair, Snoke was pretty damn useless, even though he played his pet as a decoy. I felt much of the support cast for the new SW trilogy was also useless.

WAR OF THE WORLDS would end the same way with or without Tom Cruise.

Though really, that incredibly annoying eternally crying kid of his should really have been smushed first.

Where they part of the book? Or where they just put in just to be a focal point?

Everyone shut the f*ck up and return to topic.

Even though he was one of my favorite Burton-Schumaker Batman series characters, Alexander Knox portrayed by Robert Wuhl in Batman 1989 was around to let the audience in on expository details or other characters' development. He did have a role in saving Vicky Vale (who got kidnapped by the Joker to go into the bell tower anyways) but he was, in essence, just there to be the viewer's everyman.

The Summers brothers in the Fox X-Men movies were both arguably even less than useless. Scott's most notable feat is busting the dam in X2, nearly killing his allies. Alex's most notable feat is busting the X-Mansion in Apocalypse, nearly killing his allies.

And yet in Dark Phoenix, Scott actually IS useful. A bit late, but still.

Finn from sequel trilogy...

For Alex: and killing himself in the process. I really don't know what got into Singer, Kinsberg, etc. with the Summers brothers, they could've been great characters, but they took a dump on them every. single. movie. Except maybe First Class.

Even in First Class, Alex was portrayed as kind of an a-hole who could barely control his powers (yet proceeded to still make fun of others). The only decent portrayal he had was in DoFP, because he was only in it for 5 minutes. And then they kind of still ruin it to a degree by changing his powers from heat effect to force effect.

Not all that much IMO. Beyond fulfilling a combat role relatively competently for a change (but you could have stuck any decently powerful generic mutant in there to do similar for the action scenes, tbh), when he tried to actually stop Jean from heading off, she just casually put him to sleep. And in terms of the emotional aspect, Mystique's death and how everyone reacts to it plays a much bigger role in the narrative than Scott does. Unless I am forgetting something specific he did in that regard. Admittedly, I found that movie boring as shit, so have forgotten a lot of it.

He got a fairly decent body count on the train. That's about it, but still.

Yeah, but they didn't put any other mutant in there. They put him. So it counts, as crappy as the FX looked.

It shows you how badly Singer (and co.) treated the brothers though. That one of them being portrayed reasonably competently at using their powers is pretty much the best that we got.
