Secret Invasion Bad

Not good. Bad.

[DavidC-fkwg]

This show was the TV equivalent of spending a fortune on the best cut of steak you could find and then cooking it in the microwave.

[brandondavis]

The fact that Talos risked his life to save the President and then the president vows to kill all his people. He really got screwed

Peacemaker had a better secret invasion story than secret invasion

[IkeOkerekeNews]

I think the funniest part about this show is that the best case example in the debate over Skrull integration on Earth is never mentioned: New Asgard.

[alexlazzerly]

This show is a perfect example of the importance of writing and how you can't just rely on good actors to save your project. The Secret Invasion cast has some of the best working actors, but without good direction and competent writing, they all come off looking bad.

Let's be real: 'Secret Invasion' should not be a TV show, it should be an entire phase of movies.

[luperci]

Having the whole super skrull thing in a show where there are no actual superheroes is a big miss imo

[austinmozer]

Secret Invasion could've been phase 4. All of the skrulls take advantage of the blip and insert themselves into positions of power. Then it's up to a combination of the new characters they introduce and some of the old characters to save the day. Instead we got a phase 4 which was basically about nothing and it kinda felt like a waste of time.

"The Skrull part didn't matter."
The entire problem with the show summed up perfectly.

[MelvinDepeanus]

It's crazy how Spiderman: Far From Home did the "trust no one" thing better than secret invasion with the whole illusion thing even though that movie had NOTHING TO DO WITH SKRULLS

[levischorpioen]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a better Secret Invasion project than Secret Invasion.

[garrettwimberly]

The montage at the end of the series showing people freaking out and hunting down Skrulls (and suspected Skrulls) was what I was expecting the majority of the show to be like. Instead, it's just shoved into a montage in the final episode. That moment when some shot a woman that they thought was a Skull was the most emotion I felt the entire series.

[discountwolverine]

This series should’ve been the follow-up to the Infinity Saga. I think a more personal and mysterious route would’ve made sense, since it’s hard to follow up Thanos with a bigger threat. Instead of having a bigger threat, it would’ve been more interesting to not know who *is* the threat.

[drainstorM]

That first scene, with the Everett Ross reveal, set up exactly the type of ambiguous and tense feeling that the whole show should have had. And then every single scene after this felt lazier and lazier and blander and blander. It very well may be the most careless show they've ever done

[anthonypitiol]

It feels like AI is already writing these shows and they just haven't told us yet 😂

[ThePonderer]

It’s embarrassing how this all turned out. Guardians Vol 3 was really the only thing that stopped the MCU from releasing its two worst projects back to back.

[kieran]

They should have done the following:
- more paranoia, obviously.
- secret warriors: characters like Ghost and winter soldier cannot be replicated because their powers aren't fully biological (or apparently ghost's are, which is very strange). This was the perfect time for them to be involved so that there's some resemblance to the comics.
- have skrull Rhodes wear the suit. It's a superpower sitting right there that they can access at any time and they don't bother despite military tech being perfect for a spy thriller.
- a friend of mine suggested Giah should be Abigail Brand, who a comics character who's half alien and has green fire powers.

[varun]

Kingsley-Ken in the background is really adding a lot to this video I must say.

[shayanakhavan]

My biggest gripe was that the "evil" skrulls were plot devices. When the group of skrulls turned on gravik, there was hope for a morally ambiguous stance for the skulls. But then he just... kills all of them? Rhodey was just pure evil, blindly following gravik and following his vision. They showed nothing on the skrull that was Rhodey if they had their own agenda. It was so weak

[MrEnKaye]

Man, Talos really got screwed from every direction.
He went to bat for a guy that disappointed him for 30 years, his wife dies, his people mutiny and appoint a genocidal child as leader, the last time he sees his daughter she calls him a disappointment, and the person he gave his life to protect goes on national TV and vows to eradicate his people.

Damn. That sucks. This sucks.
