Iron Man 3 Continues to Make Questionable Decisions…Quelle Surprise
Not too long after production commenced in Wilmington, North Carolina, the first batch of Iron Man 3 set photos revealed that the famous Iron Patriot armor would feature in the Shane Black-directed installment. Although, recent reports revealed that Marvel were straying from its source material, having a returning ally of Tony Stark, James Rhodes, don the Iron Patriot armor rather than the Spider-Man foe Norman Osborn. And offering somewhat of a new look at the Iron Patriot armor, check it out via new promotional artwork!

HFT I suppose
what
um, are steve and tony getting married and adopting rhodey too or...
i still havent seen iron man 2. or captain america. i think i'm losing interest in this franchise tbh. call me when the avengers 2 comes out.
I will always love RDJ as Iron Man!
However they actually spend a good amount of time on Steve's interactions with Bucky or with the military or with Peggy(who is awesome) and I found that stuff to be interesting and entertaining and thought Steve was pretty adorable with nice combination of confidence and awkwardness and humility as well as sort of dry, often self-depracating sense of humor. It's not in your face snark like say Tony, but he has his moments.

If Thor 2 is shit, I will cry harder.

Not to mention the fact that the suit this time around will be the friggin' Extremis armor; that's all the change you need, right there. Such a drastic palette swap seems...I don't know, unnecessary.
That being said, still pictures alone are not enough to cause a final verdict; I'm going to wait until the movie comes out before declaring the usual RUINED FOREVURRRR!!!111!!ONE

Current head cannon is they both got drunk and Drunk Tony painted the suit. Rhodes was suitably upset but there were bad guys to be fought and no other not flashy armor do he put it on and trades sarcastic quips with Tony the entire time.
Am I supposed to expressly care one way or the other?
One word - apathetic.
