I have so many thoughts on today's episode. ⚠️SPOILERS⚠️

Gravik is a maniac. The fuck he just wants to achieve at this point? It's not a Scrull homeland or human extinction now. He's just fulfilling his own skewed agenda which nobody seems to follow. An attempt on his life was expected.

Varra was a badass this episode. And the way she loves Fury, it's so tragic and soft at the same time.

And ScRhodey this episode was a pain and I want to finish him off.

I LOVE HOW EVERYTIME I SEE SONYA FALSWORTH, I'M JUST SO DELIGHTED.HER PRESENCE IS SO POWERFUL AND THREATENING. YET IT IS PEAK COMEDY.

ALSO,MY BELOVED TALOS 😭😭😭 HIS FUNERAL 😭😭😭AND G'IAH'S OFFERING 😭😭😭 HE WAS THE GENERAL, HE'LL ALWAYS BE THE GENERAL.

Also, the cliffhanger. Who the fuck did Fury call? Ross? Wakanda? Is Maria Hill still alive? WHO IS IT?

Just realised that at the end of The Marvels, the flerkittens aren’t with Carol.

Does this mean Nick took all those flerkittens home??? If so what was Varra’s reaction???

Secret Invasion, Episode 2

Now I'm suspicious of everyone. When Nick Fury showed up to talk to Maria Hill's mom I was like, "How'd he get there so fast? That's not him."

I don't know why I think this. But I do think there are still Nick Fury Skrulls out there. Gravik, obviously, can shift into Fury and probably was asked to do so in the past like Talos has.

Last week a lot of people were suggesting Gravik could be Nick Fury's son. And this week we find out that's not the case--that he came to Earth when he was young. But I do think Nick really influenced him.

At the end of the episode I think they are trying to make the audience think that Nick Fury doesn't know his wife his a Skrull but I do think he has always known. She was in the opening scene with Gravik. At least that is the same actress with green makeup on.

Now, I don't know for sure that Skrulls and Humans can mate and produce offspring. In fact, I doubt Nick Fury would even if he could. But it did get me wondering about Beto, the young Skrull who is hanging around Gravik and G'iah.

I'd love it if he were reporting back to Priscilla Fury.

RANDOM: When they placed the US Flag over Maria Hill's coffin did anyone else shout, "She's Canadian, bitch!"

It seemed disrespectful to me.

RANDOM 2: Rhodey mentions learning about Skrulls about 15 years ago. That would've been about when Cheadle replaced Howard. After Iron Man 1. It'd be so funny if that was when Rhodes was turned into a Skrull. It'd be easy to remember. If it was Cheadle, he was a Skrull (not convinced he's a bad Skrull necessarily) and Howard he was a human.

Anyway.

Look if an alien disguised as the divine Charlayne Woodard wanted to seduce me to find love then I would simply have no choice but to marry her and inevitably reveal all my secrets in a potentially life endangering way. I get it.

Okay secret invasion it did had some weak points but I liked it I don’t care about these overly hating YouTube channels who just comment onto shit on the show. There are so many Easter eggs and clever lines.

Firstly, I can’t believe Rhodey was taken in the civil war! That was the thing I was worried about. With Everett Ross being shocked. OH MY GOSH RHODEY DOESNT KNOW HIS BEST FRIEND IS

HE DOESNT KNOW ABOUT THE EVENTS POST CIVIL WAR I AM SCREAMING.

I can’t believe Fury kept the DNA of Carol? Like didn’t they have a great bond? That’s literally a violation.

I really enjoyed seeing Ebony’s powers. Like they had DNAs of every hero damn.

Giah and Gravik’s fight felt weird in the beginning but later on it looked cool her using Mantis’s power and the landing like Carol Danvers? Yoooo that was cool.

And that was really cool how Sonya made her decisions really clear, like hey I’m gonna use you to okay. Ahaha and Giah being taken aback with that.

And Ritson created a war like situation like shooting everything. That scene was terrifying it’s just like the Flag smashers situation. So then Ross becomes The President and creates his own like of agents!

The Marvels being a sequel to this? The movie doesn’t give off gritty vibes but hey let’s see.

Also during the Gravik and Fury scene when Fury says go and kill some other place and I was shook like Fury would never say that but turns out ahaha great impression Giah.

Varra’s scenes were also pretty good!

Better without action scenes

I waited a week to write down my thoughts about the Secret Invasion and I'm still not sure what they are. There were moments when I almost liked the show but then they were instantly squandered by some baffling and incomprehensible decisions.

It's one of those shows so hellbent on keeping its viewers guessing it becomes impossible to either track or care what is happening.

Peple concentrate on the things like bad CGI or boring fights but the truth is bad special effects never really stop people from engaging with a story (see Doctor Who or puppet shows). You will suspend disbelief if you want as long as the story is engaging enough. As long as you follow emotional journeys and plotlines. When they become all scrambled by trying to shock the viewer it all falls apart.

MCU uses to be really good at remembering that but recently they are slacking. It becomes an exercises of going from one cool idea to another cool idea but the connection between them seems to drawn by crayons.

Like everything between Fury and his wife was great. The history between them, the love, the hurt, the distrust and the longing was played beautifully and it was easy to believe it was always there throughout MCU even if we saw her the first time in second episode of this series.

Same with Talos when you can feel both the decade long friendship and all the times it failed. And generally a lot of word battles work great Fury with Rhodey and with Grvik and with Sonia (even if the final one is undermined by it not being Fury there).

But then you have everything that fails and most of it is plot. The need to keep us guessing leads to lack of proper set up of many of the plot points and then half of them is just dropped or leads to nothing. Like Skrull Council was pointless, so was New Skrullos, and so were the deaths in the end. The show introduces characters that seem important but they get couple of scenes that were so underwhelming you ask why even waste time on them - Pagan, Beto, Sonya's boss (what a waste of Tony Curran - again) etc.

What was the point of the rebellion against Gravik beside death of all those Skrulls he recruited? I'm sure the idea was something about him also selling false promises and then disposing of people he used just like he says Fury does but the show did absolutely nothing to sell it. Also the whole plan of killing 8 billion people so 1 (one!) million Skrulls have somewhere to live is ridiculous. Just like there being no other place in universe for them. One million is so little. With Superskrulls they could've just find themselves their own Knowhere.

It's worst with G'iah who is so enigmatic a character and the show tries to keep so many things about her in the is she or isn't she limbo there is no real sense of why she does anything. She seems to be close to Gravik but also not. She switches side to work for her father again but doesn't believe in him (she's right - his plan is one a teenager would thought out not a gown man who saw how humanity reacts to refugees for decades). She dies, she lives, she gets superpowers and the most reaction we get to all of it is when she is with Priscilla. Both her parents are dead. Everyone she believed in failed her and you can barely tell what she thinks about it. Or what she wants. She's just there. And I'm not blaming Emilia Clarke for it. I blame the show for trying to hide so much about her she ends up with no character at all.

They try to shock us with death of important characters like 4-5 times (Rhodey doesn't really count I suppose) with like half of those being fake out but instead of being shocked I ended up being just angry. Neither loss of Maria Hill nor Talos really did that much to make the story more poignant. It didn't even do that much for Fury's character development (his talks to Varra were much better at this). It all just left bad taste in my mouth. And the constant so who is really dead dead didn't help either. And the show doesn't properly emotionally engage with those deaths so neither do ewe as viewers.

For me the most ridiculous isn't the big battle but when Fury changes clothes in the mausoleum. It supposed to be this badass moment of him regaining his mojo or something but it just underwhelming. Like the whole show.

The less said about Ritson the better.

In the end my favourite parts where the ones with Olivia Coleman. This show justified its existence by introducing Sonya Falsworth and I'm actually looking forward to her and G'iah working together in the future.
