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

    It’s full of potential so I did watch to see if they would do anything with it. But in the end it was mostly disappointing. Such a short series, they manage to squeeze in filler eps/story!

    Having some beloved character’s story end for this show, is a waste. Clearly they don’t know the potential of Skrull, invasion, and even what made Nick Fury great. Hope this writer never work Marvel again.

    It’s not great, just ok. Not bottom of Marvel TV bad (Inhumans, Iron Fist). But it is like… The Eternals, of the MCU. See it once, never want to revisit, and hope dumb events in the show get redacted/ignored…
