Secret Invasion is a television program that is second only to She-Hulk in terms of how terrible a product the MCU can produce. Join me for a breakdown and review as a dissect how this show went sideways and ruined an adaptation of a fan-favorite comic book event.

    when they started bringing on directors and writers who have never seen/studied any previous MCU title, and are proud of that fact, the MCU was doomed.
  • @MorryOnTheFence
    I liked the part where Fury said he couldn't call in any Avengers, because a humanity extinction level threat was "personal"
  • Remember when Joel took full responsibility for the failure of Batman and Robin,and didn’t blame the fans? Good times.
  • Someone said "Peacemaker is a better secret invasion story than secret invasion" and I 100% agree with that.
  • @sarinat3101
    "Killing a beloved character shouldn't be off limits, it's all in the execution." I see what you did there.
  • What’s so insulting about this is major actors like Samuel Jackson and Emilia Clarke being wasted on trash shows
  • @bergy9438
    Rhodey being a skrull also murders Stark's character. Remember Tony helped Rhodey through the whole rehab process, even creating the cybernetics for Rhodey. But apparently no one noticed Rhodey was actually an alien. How would that operation go? Random doctor: "Uhm Mr. Stark? The patient isn't human?" Stark: "what do you mean?" Doctor: "The patient is a different species, an alien, and it looks like it can shapeshift and already walk" Stark: "give him the cybernetics anyway I'm sure its fine" For fuck sake

    This show expects you to ignore the fact that Nick Fury could have asked: Tony and Bruce to make a probe to find a planet, Thor to let the Skrulls live on Asgard or New Asgard or use the Rainbow Bridge to find a new home in one of the different realms, Dr. Strange to find a dimension, Scott Lang to find a home in the Quantum Realm, or the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Nova Corp to find a planet. And, of course, Carol Danvers was also supposed to be finding a planet anyway. Multiple movies have gone by where Nick could have said something about the Skrulls! Why would he never tell them about these aliens when they work with aliens all the time?
  • @WillyFresh92
    The audacity of Disney+ to raise the price of their subscription after giving us all these complete garbage shows
  • @mr.punisher5100
    Fury: You can't keep depending on these superheroes to swoop in and save our asses Proceeds to depend on a superhero
  • @Aaron-zt5ee
    My biggest problem is that at the end of Captain Marvel, she was tasked with finding the Skrulls a planet and even had a space station. Somehow, she was forgotten about.
  • @notachannel447
    You forget the "why blame Nick Fury and not Carol Danvers...the person that fly all over the Galaxy?"
  • @BrindsleyD
    If Disney thinks we're paying an increased price for the crap they produced this year they are going to have a rude awakening.
  • @Qwazin
    It's weird how "hero turns old and out of touch and needs to get back in the saddle" has become a trend. Some of my favorite stories like Unforgiven, Logan, Rocky Balboa, Creed and even Metal Gear Solid and Batman Beyond use it. It's such a great premise for exploring a character, but so many modern writers do such a crap job at it.
  • @BSRJR
    Maria Hill would’ve worked great as the POV character of this show. She’s clearly been groomed as Fury’s successor, BY FURY! That would’ve allowed him to keep his mysterious status. And set up a “is this Fury or a Skrull?” tension.
  • @MiguelDurazo
    What i don't understand here is why isn't there some people at the MCU whose job is to make sure the story is consistent with the history of everything? Don't they know their fans?
  • @madisattybayev249
    Looks like not only AI made the show’s intro, it also wrote the “script”
  • @neilkabookie2776
    There were so many issues with this TV show but the one that bugs me the most is when Skrulls change their shape, they change their clothing.
  • @hothotheat3000
    The MCU has taken the audience for granted. It’s like when a relationship first starts and both sides are on their best behavior. Then, they get comfortable and complacent and stop trying.
  • @Notnow22
    The most egregious crime this series has committed against its legacy characters (apart from Rhodes, of course) is when then literally have Talos VOMIT to the audience that he and the rest of the skrulls were the ones responsible for Fury's rise in the ranks of SHIELD. Honestly, if this is the level of writing we have to expect from future projects, I find it hard that Marvel will survive another 5 years.
