Secret Invasion: A New Low

The dumbest part of this entire show is the premise that Nick Fury someone who didn't even know aliens were real until meeting the skrulls was going to go out and find a planet for the skrulls to live on. That's like sending out an Amish person to pick and buy a mobile phone for you.

The greatest irony is that DC's Peacemaker pulled off the whole secret alien invasion storyline phenomenally better than a show called Secret Invasion

I wouldn't be surprised if it was eventually revealed that Secret Invasion was written by AI as a test to see if they could get away with it.

The MCU has devolved into "Which famous actor should we invite to be on this project? Doesn't matter what the project is, as long as they're invited"

Almost feel bad for Emilia Clarke. Every movie in a big franchise she's in is always bad, and she's never the problem

Emilia Clarke with Drax’s arm is a thin line between HILARIOUS NONSENSE and NIGHTMARE FUEL

Gotta hand it to the writers, i didn't think they could find a way to end a spy thriller with a superhero fighting an evil version of themselves

"So you're saying that something should happen" is an all-time Mr Sunday Movies running phrase.

The MCU is more interested in promoting what's up next than delivering the project in hand.

The line that did it for me was when Fury tells Olivia Coleman’s Character “We can’t keep expecting these superheroes to save our ass”, as if his whole purpose for the last 15 years wasn’t to get the avengers together large scale threats

I knew something was off when they decided to take such a large and important story line and boil it down to a mini-series.

When I realised that what fury was retrieving from THREE different high-tech-secret compartments in that graveyard was a freaking pistol, a trenchcoat and an eye-patch I just burst-out laughing and lost all hope for this show to be even a tiny bit good

It’s funny when you realize how little thought and logic was put into this. The Avengers, with Carol and Rhodey present, killed Thanos in 2018 thus making his vacation planet now abandoned and habitable. They would’ve and should’ve told the Skrulls right lol…

As others have said, if the MCU was gonna do Secret Invasion, they should have made it the whole of Phase 4 and beyond.

your idea about kamala using “weaker” powers to her advantage over a big bad is literally sooo good, and i love seeing similar tropes in super hero media. god what a wasted opportunity

Just to give you a plot summary: Decades ago Nick Fury promised to help Skrulls find a new home in exchange for their service, but after realizing he can never find a home for them, he stays quiet and kept using them as lapdogs. After the Blip, Nick Fury just abandoned them and hide in space, only came back after a young Skrull started a rebellion. After getting 2 of his best friends killed because he sucks at his job, someone else took out the rebellion leader for him, but the whole event started an all out race war towards the Skrulls. However, instead of trying to fix that or stop it, Nick Fury once again abandon everyone and hide back to his space with his wife, leaving all Skrulls on Earth to fend for themselves

I think they could have killed two birds with one stone by explaining that Fury couldn’t call the Avengers cause he didn’t know if they were replaced or not. That would have been a much better explanation for why he didn’t call them and serve to heighten the tension. This way you can see how serious Fury considers the Skrull threat because they have caused him to not even trust the Avengers. They don’t really play with that kind of paranoia in the show. They never speculate on who has been replaced. They never accuse anyone who didn’t turn out to be a Skrull. They just sort of know who’s a Skrull when the plot needs them to without any investigation.

I feel like this series would’ve been waaay better if the ending was actually the beginning. Like episode one, Rhodey is killed in a very public way and it’s revealed that he’s a Skrull. The world gets thrown into a “Green Panic” with people killing random people in a desperate attempt to weed out the Skrulls. Entire governments begin to crumble because no one can be trusted. Fury comes back to both stop the secret invasion but also save the good Skrulls from a planet that wants them dead. Bonus points if you bring back Coulson and question whether or not he’s a Skrull.

The funniest thing about this, is that Agents of Shield basically did a secret invasion/ body-snatching plot in its 4th season and was so much better

The secret invasion was so secret I’d never even heard of this show
