Drinker's Chasers - Secret Invasion Kinda Sucks

It’s like half of Marvel’s writing abilities got snapped away by Thanos and never came back

Gary is correct. Making the Skrulls sympathetic characters, instead of the villains they are, was a huge mistake.

I like the trend of villains to sympathetic characters - reallllly hope for a Jaws remake but we delve into why the shark is sooooo pissed off and it runs out it was really humans fault and everyone deserved what happened to them

Why nobody’s blaming Kevin Feige for those half baked inconsistent products ? It’s always the small writers who accused of having secret agenda. Yet Feige is the big boss and the overall supervisor who should be responsible for the consistency and quality of content

Why they had to make the Skrulls the good guys is beyond me. Their conflict with the Kree and how Earth became a battleground for them was what made everything interesting.

What’s worse is that this is easily the Marvel product with the most potential. Nick Fury facing off against a bunch of aliens he can’t immediately identify all out to get him is a fantastic concept because you should be questioning every decision made, if there is anyone to trust, how accessible any bit of information is on what he’s doing. Instead it’s just…this.

I feel badly for Emilia Clarke. She's a decent actress and seems like a good person. But she ends up in all the wrong projects.

I love how they get down to making some bold, but extremely true statements in this commentary. Disney and marvel truly is dead in the water, and it will take them years of doing the right things to come back. None of us should hold our breath or support any of this crap until they actually earn it again.

I didn't even know this show was coming out. They've oversaturated the market to such a degree, that even a show starring Sam Jackson's Nick Fury can fly under the radar.

this doesn't surprise me anymore; what will surprise me is actually good content

The Skrulls shouldn't have been made the good guys but you can't go back on that now. It's too late. Fury layed it all on the line for Talos, his family, his kids, his clan, everyone. And they go back on that? You're not only retconning what happened in a mediocre film but you're just reducing the stakes to nothing too. Talos and his gang oughta be sending Fury a Christmas card every year not trying to take over Earth.

Eric July is spot on with Mar-Vell. His history is as important as Cap.

Emilia Clarke's niche is being appallingly adorable, being a brat, or being the woman everyone loves and throws themselves into harm to protect.

“The blip changed Fury” Given what we know about the guy he should be the one affected the least

The most pathetic part of that first episode was the explanation for the Skrulls turning was “Nick Fury spent too long on a space station and they felt abandoned” 😂 Who is writing this crap?

Eric July's point about marvel staff using characters that they knew nothing about was on point that i've noticed so many times over the years. This tv series was such a great opportunity to reintegrate the defenders and tier C heroes and introduce spider woman. I never cared much for the other spideys but i've to admit Jessica Drew had her highest point when the Skrull Queen infiltrated the avengers impersonating her. That arc also had terrific moments like when they've finally taken over all the shield helicarriers and captured Maria Hill, and when Veranke is about to execute her, Hill reveals how Nick Fury taught her many lessons, and one of the most important was that you should never really trust anybody, and that to always use life size robots, and when Veranke slashes at her, electronic body parts fall off of Hill, revealing that it was a life size robot. That moment would have been an awesome ending scene for episode 9 of a 10-episode series.

Emilia Clarke and Tom Holland should fire their respective agents. Like seriously, their agents always land them on shitty projects.

It makes 0 sense for Fury to have PTSD over the blip. I'm sure he's seen worse in his line of work. They've completely dropped the ball on that character since Captain Marvel

Me Before You is unironically Emilia Clarke’s best film because the character she plays is already 90% of her actual personality.

Fury is supposed to be the kind of guy that when he gets killed, he walks it off.
