Terrence Howard Invented Suspect Math
Terrence Howard played James Rhodes, the future War Machine, in Iron Man back when the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was just getting established. Don Cheadle took over for Howard after that first film. How about Howard, though? Howard said Robert Downey Jr. forced him out of the company by accepting a compensation increase at Howard's expense. Who knows for sure, but there were rumors that Howard demanded the same salary as Downey Jr. at the time. Particularly considering the fact that Terrence Howard devised his own arithmetic, which is quite dubious.
Howard disagrees with the idea that one plus one equals one, as he said in an interview. He believes that to be absurd and that it must equal two. "One times one equals two since the square root of four is two, so what is the square root of two?" is the reasoning behind this. It should only be one, but we're informed it's two, which is impossible.
Even though the square root of two isn't two, it doesn't really matter. Because of a clear and fundamental misunderstanding of what the term "times" implies, the man appears to be joking, but he is actually very serious about the fact that he does not think one time one equals one. It has to be two. To go along with this, he created his own symbolic language known as Terryology. He sincerely hopes that one day soon, we will cease teaching kids the absurd idea that one plus one equals one.
