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

    The acting is phenomenal. Sam Jackson, Don Cheadle, Ben Mendelson, Olivia Coleman, Kingsly Benedair, are all excellent.

    The story is shite. All the great acting in the world can’t overcome that.
