I think the idea is Tony sold to "legitimate" militaries endorsed by the US government while Stane was secretly selling to the militants on the other side but I don't remember what Obadiah confessed to in Iron Man one. Point is Stark could have legitimately sold arms to the Sokovian government only for them to carpet bomb their own people in an attempt to put down an uprising. I always think of Sokovia as a Syria insert anyway and that definitely could have happened there.

What happens is the USA government buys the weapons then sells the weapons to allies for the purpose of selling the weapoms to enemies.

The bombs could have been dropped by the US directly too, it's not like there were no civilian casualties from the NATO intervention in Kosovo.

Not sure casting the brown dude as the villain of a show where the baddies are sneaking in 'illegally' and infiltrating in an attempt to destroy us is the best look.

I always think of Sokovia as a Syria insert anyway and that definitely could have happened there. The confrontation with Stane is that after Tony came back and gave his big "we're not selling arms anymore" press conference, Stane went "lmao yeah right I'm just gonna do it behind your back" and Tony has just found out about it. Remember, in Iron Man, Tony thinks the "Merchant of Death" nickname is pretty good, and in Age of Ultron, he clarifies that the difference between him and Klaue was that he only sold arms to people it was legal to sell to -- but he doesn't make it sound like he was picky about which recognized governments could buy his bombs.

Don't worry he'll be green and covered in prosthetics so it literally doesn't matter. If he's even a skrull. Unless they've gender swapped the skrull queen, which I doubt, it doesn't seem like they're doing a 1:1 thing anyway as the skrull are you know, not villains in the MCU.

I’d just like it so that not every single Kree’s a bad guy. It’s disappointing that the MCU has a lack of nuance in regards to them.

The Kree can pass for human with a few spray tan sessions, it would be a neat inversion to have them be the hidden baddies.

I'm going to be pedantic and note that not every single Kree is a bad guy. Mar-Vell is not. She literally helped the Skrulls. Also, she was normal human looking as well on the other comment above.

Also, fun fact: Marvel made a pretty crap commercial for Xbox Game Pass and then buried a lore reveal in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db1QEI712S0 The Fortnite player who was constantly antagonizing Korg is the Genius Bar worker who tried to help Steve and Natasha in Winter Soldier.
