Man the only part of this show I like are the Olivia Coleman scenes. Every scene with Clarke is bad. I don't care at all about Gravik, fury's wife or any other Skrull. The plot is ****ing stupid and there's probably a good 2 hour movie from this concept but holy **** there's so much bad filler.


I think it's fair to compare this show to Winter Soldier and it just shows how awful this one looks and how **** it's written.

Good grief! It's as if Mary Poppins grew some queen sized balls and decided to drag 'em over some Skrulls. She's by far been a bunch of fun to watch.

Been pretty satisfied with the violence in this show and looking forward to see how this ends.

Yep, the British woman is great.

Fury gonna shoot Gravik with that bullet shaped vial and the DNA overload will cause his head to explode.

Convenient that he hid the DNA so close to Russia

I'd watch a marvel series about John Wick Mary Poppins.

so, based off the ending to last night episodes, I think it is clear now that this show isn't really about skrulls at all, b/c the whole 'secret' invasion part is rather boring. The real story here is how Stella Fury got her his groove back.

Sigh...

I've waited until most of the episodes were out so I can binge them. Generally, that works way better than week-to-week since they insist on the "movie spread out across 6 episodes" format, usually with weak cliffhangers each week to keep engagement up.

In my opinion... this show has yet to justify its existence. When a Nick Fury show was rumored, I was excited. Love Nick Fury. When it turned into Secret Invasion, I was thrilled. That's a great comic book premise with iffy execution, so perhaps the MCU could do it better. When it was revealed that the cast would be Fury, Talos, a couple human spies (Hill and Ross) and Rhodey in a political function, I was extremely skeptical.

Secret Invasion doesn't need to be the version from the comics (which again, wasn't that great in execution) but it should be a game-changer. It should be thrilling! We've been invaded in secret for who knows how many years and you can't trust anyone. This is what ruined Tony Stark's tenure as director of Shield. Stark Enterprises was infiltrated. Spider-Woman had been a Skrull ever since she joined the Avengers over a year ago. Hank Pym had been replaced. Black Bolt had been replaced. Shield is compromised. And at the end of the day, the landscape for the universe shifted as a 'reformed' Norman Osborn killed the Skrull queen in front of the whole world and used that publicity to essentially become the most powerful man in America - leading directly to the next major storyline, Dark Reign.

This time... none of this matters to anyone we know or care about. Everett Ross (who we barely know anyway) has had one scene. Maria Hill (who we also have barely seen since 2014) had three scenes and then died to give Fury some extra motivation. Talos (who we knew from one movie and one post-credits) is dead. Now we've got two Skrulls we barely know killing some other Skrulls in a kitchen. Awesome.

We know WW3 isn't going to happen, and we know Fury is in The Marvels already, so this is just spinning its wheels - and wasting the great concept of Secret Invasion on a show where you can see the Skrull twists coming a mile away and our protagonist is old as ****.

Wasted potential, IMO. The show isn't painfully bad but I can't believe they spent $200 million to damage their own brand with a half-assed version of one of the best premises they had in their arsenal. It feels like Iron Fist - a potentially-great revenge story about an orphan who is trained as a ninja in a mystical city and fights a dragon to gain supernatural powers, but instead you get a show with no mystical city, no dragon, and the worst fight scenes in recent history. It's like they had a tiny budget and had to do the best with what they were allowed to do. But they had $200 million. I'm insane now.

I want to know where the real Ross and Rhodey are.

Somehow, I feel like the show will just kind of forget about them.

Aren't they probably in that same room where the skrulls hook people up in some machine before they take their face and even memories? I thought I saw that…..

Maybe? I don't remember seeing them explicitly, but I admit I probably haven't paid super close attention to every detail

we haven't seen those characters specifically but it's assumed they're in there somewhere

and it's shocking that Disney spent $212 MM for the show

The president being alone in a hospital room hours after some Russians and aliens tried to blow up his convoy is less believable than aliens trying to take over our planet

Haha I can't tell if you are being totally sarcastic or not! But at this point I personally think anyone examining Marvel movies for "believability"… ummm….… I mean…. A multiverse traveling Wizard? A talking raccoon who sends emails?……And the President being alone in a Hospital room is where you draw the line?

It's the realistic stuff that they should make most believable, imo

I'm not being sarcastic, but I can see how it might come off that way. There is definitely a lot in Marvel movies you have to forgive because in the end these are fantasy movies, but there's other **** they just do poorly because of lazy writing and its awful. The above is a good example of this.
