Why did 'Secret Invasion' suck (by ScreenCrush) - eviltoast

Main points:

  • the premise of the show came out of nowhere, Scrulls were set up as the good guys in Captain Marvel
  • the small rooms and few characters reduced the perceived gravity of the situation
  • Giah’s dilemma between her father and Graviks revolution was skipped over
  • there was no ‘secret’ to the show, the viewers were omnipotent omniscient; the plot was rushed and everything that could have been an exciting reveal has been wasted
  • we learn nothing about the president, his actions make no sense

    I previously discouraged others from watching it. But it’s still Marvel, it’s not unwatchable. Try it, but be mentally preapred to not engage in the story whatsoever and keep low expectations of the production. Again, it’s not like you will hate it, probably. You will just not enjoy it too much.

      That pretty much nails how I felt after watching the whole series! Very much akin to reading a subpar run of issues in an otherwise good comic series.
