Secret Invasion Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Secret Invasion!

Disney and Marvel Studios have been absolutely churning out content in the past few years with a ton of shows hitting their streaming service Disney+. Secret Invasion has come out after a deluge of other superhero shows and people seem to be… tired of this?

Secret Invasion definitely raises some questions. Like why didn’t the show play more with the mystery of who is a Skrull and who isn’t? Why doesn’t Nick Fury call the Avengers? If this fight is so personal, why doesn’t he actually fight it? How are all the powers in the final fight even being used?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Secret Invasion!

Imagine for a second that you're tasked with making a spy thriller for Marvel. And imagine that it will star Nick Fury, so you already have a strategic genius in the script. And imagine also that the villains of this spy thriller are shape shifting aliens, the hands-down easiest thing you can do to generate surprise twists in a spy thriller (so easy that literally every MI movie has relied on their impossible perfect face masks like a crutch). And now also ALSO imagine that this show will be named after an already well-received comic run that's basically done all the heavy lifting for you about twice, maybe even 3x over if you count the first Ultimates run. And NOW...imagine you fail to use ANY OF THAT effectively. That's Secret Invasion.

Ryan's Pitch Meetings should be required viewing at every Disney board meeting

[randomxgen]

"There's no way I'm checking" definitely sounds like it was a guiding principle for this series.

[merytsitmaat]

After they redshirted Agent Hill, I decided not to suffer through any more of it and just let Ryan tell me what happens with the rest of the series. Thanks Ryan!

The fact that they decided to adapt an event from the comics and immediately told the director "Don't read the comics, this has nothing to do with the comics" shows how passionless this marriage has become.

The obliteration of the final fight is one of the best deconstructions Ryan has done. Superb stuff.

[darkzak]

It should be distressing to a company like Disney that Ryan’s pitch meeting is vastly more entertaining and interesting than the $200 million blown on whatever this was supposed to be

[hootsifer-darling]

"You sound insane, we don't do that now!"
"I know"
oooofff felt that in my bones, well done Ryan

[femiairboy]

I will never understand how a company like Disney, with the vast resources at its disposal, access to some of the best actors on the planet, ridiculous amount of source material to choose from, decide to continually churn out hot garbage is beyond me.

I have to admit: Pitch Meeting is my way to keep up with 98% of movie/shows I'll never watch, but still find them entertaining for less than 10min.

[skeetsmcgrew]

This might have been the most brutal Ryan has ever been on a Pitch Meeting. I think he made fun of literally every aspect except the acting

[pureawesomeable]

Man… watching a pitch meeting instead of the actual show is tight! 😂

[lckaboom]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Ryan more cynical than in those last few seconds, and in this series, that’s saying something.

[AverySuzuki]

It's fun to imagine Ryan alone in his apartment in front of a green screen saying "SAMUEL L JACKSON TONGUING STUFF IS TIGHT" as passionately as possible

[Monkey-fvkm]

No matter how bad a show or movie is, it always has the silver lining of a guaranteed quality pitch meeting 👍

[Ralph_ralphster]

Congratulations Ryan George. I’m pretty sure more people watched your pitch meeting of the show than people who actually watched the show!

Love the shut up shut up shut up part 🤣🤣🤣 those powers used in the season finale were so ridiculous, nailed it. Screenwriter had no defense except Shut up lol

[majormoron]

"Hey shut up" is prbly the standard response to any opposition or criticism uttered in any disney writers room

[mosesmm]

I love how even this is the first time Ryan had to repeatedly say 'shut-up' to a questions about how Fury got the DNA and how...any of that part worked.

[jacsreactions]

"How are rings part of a DNA?" "Hey, shut up."
