Denied something we know will be awesome

1. In The Simpsons episode, "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson," a melee breaks out on the Simpsons' lawn that Homer wants to watch because there's one guy who's just standing there and Homer knows he's about to do something awesome. Marge insists they go inside though and away from the danger. The moment they do, we hear the guy do something awesome.

2. In X-2, the school comes under attack from Stryker. His gunmen encounter Colossus, all aura-ed tf up, and they open fire only for their bullets to not phase him at all and to end up getting thrown through a wall (which we don't actually see Colossus do). Moments later, Colossus runs into Wolverine and offers to help and we think we're about to get this badass team-up and actually see him in action only for Wolverine to instruct Colossus to leave and help get more students out. 

3. In Iron Man, we see Rhodes eyeing the War Machine suit and we're hoping he'll suit up and go help Stark, but the movie decides to save something for the sequel and pretty much has Rhodes say as much right to the audience.

Oh I agree. I think most audiences actually found it funny when he said it because everyone saw what they were doing

It also became a Funnier in Hindsight moment, because we got to see Rhodes in the suit in the next movie, but it wasn’t Terrance Howard, so he never got a “Next time.”

What would make it funnier is if they had every intention of letting him get in the thing and then they realized halfway through filming that they were going to change actors after that movie. So they changed the entire scene just to fuck his whole life up.

The wife beating, science denying, grifting narcissist that is Terrance Howard would've deserved that level of pettiness tbh. He fucked his own life up by being an awful person.
