[DISCUSSION) Secret Invasion S01E06 - Home | Post-Watch Discussion (Spoilers)

They wasted the Secret Invasion on this crap. We could have had a really cool mystery series that culminated into something grand, but instead they ran out of budget cuz they just wanted another mirror match CGI fight.

So, can we talk about how the show just injected an incredibly overpowered character into the MCU in the last half of an episode of a series that not many people are watching?

Or how Fury's plan was to give the uber-mcguffin to someone else to give to the bad guy in the hopes that she could get super powered along with him and proceed to kill him on equal footing?

I wanted to like this show, but damn. Fury was a way better character before this started.

G'iah's greatest superpower is her ability to regenerate that amazing leather jacket after she's shredded the sleeves with her Hulk/Drax/Corvus/Groot arms.

Marvel has been really missing the mark on their television shows and many of the recent movies. They really need to take some time and reevaluate before damaging the brand. I don't believe in super hero fatigue but I do believe in bad content fatigue.

:(

At least Olivia Coleman was a highlight

This show was underwhelming.

This was the first Marvel show that I disliked. Everything was so uninteresting and poorly done. That final Super Skrull battle was one of the worst fights in the MCU. They should’ve never compared this to Winter Soldier because it was far from it. Only good thing I can say about this show is how Sam Jackson managed to have a few good acting scenes with terrible scripts.

Just finished up and I liked the spy thriller premise but it does rank lowest in my D+ series ranking. The entire thing feels like a setup, but for... (fill in the blank with not a waste of time at some point in the future please)?

Ritson's response is painfully USian, so it tracked for me, but it's like globally, aliens aren't a new concept so... Why?

So daft that you can't somehow differentiate between good aliens and bad aliens and given that the globe is already dealing with the blip fallout and repatriation efforts a million seems like such a miniscule number, so, who cares?

G'iah as super-super-super powered individual seems too much to me, even as I was accepting that Gravik had cracked the ability to get some powers, it still wasn't an end all be all issue. Now you've introduced some potential meta-threat that's just tacked on the end of one of the weaker D+ series and for what? Like what is going to be done with this character or is she just going to be shuffled off and sidelined?

I don't like the way that the series just did away with established characters (Hill especially, Talos because wholesome AF, liked him) so casually, though. Like the deaths felt they lacked any real weight to them. They felt like just things.

I do like Varra. So, so much I like her. I doubt she'll ever show up again but for what it's worth, I like her.

I feel for the Skull plight. I just wish that they'd gotten better than this. Surely there is more to it than Gravik vs. Talos/Fury.

Maybe whatever it's setting up will make it something I want to watch again in the future, but for now, sadly, one watch was enough.

The show feels like it's...half done. Like the Secret Invasion is basically just about 1 Skrull who wants war? It's supposed to be invasion in our whole lives right? How about all the Skrulls who've been in society and high in government? Was that not the invasion that we were supposed to watch? Who cares about this Gravik guy really...

I don't understand Ritson's response at the end. War...against aliens on earth? Shouldn't people be somewhat comfortable by now with aliens on earth? Are they gonna try to kill Thor next time he's on earth? And he says "we know how to find you" even though they really don't? The only thing that I thought might make sense is if he's also a Skrull somehow but is he just another dumbass human president? And Fury fucks off back to space when the war is started by humans now? As long as it's not a Skrull starting it I guess a war is fine...

Well that was...something. Felt so rushed. That super Skrull fight was just a mess. Why is there never any Secret Service or any staff besides Rhodey around the president? He seems like he could be killed any time. And I guess Secret Wars is kicked off because the president said he will kill every Skrull. Like, that's it? This is how Secret Wars gets started? Just feels silly and basic. At this point I'm only watching these shows so I know the setup for the upcoming movies. Very underwhelming and disappointing.

That was a complete waste of time and I'm pretty sure there's a better way to set the world on fire. This was the one series that I was looking forward to and I must say was truly a disappointment. The last two episodes should've been released as one, though not sure it would've been better. The writing was lazy throughout and all over the place, I mean who the hell leaves cliffhangers using a death of a major character almost every episode? Who the hell at Marvel Studios vetted the scripts?

How does this tie into the Multiverse?!!

The only positive is Sonya Falsworth, and I'm just praying some other show or film will come along to use this character properly.
