Marvel's "Secret Invasion"
Marvel's "Secret Invasion"
Three episodes into "Secret Invasion," I have to admit I'm prett underwhelmed. By all rights, this series should feel like a spiritual successor to The Winter Soldier, but it's falling flat for me on nearly every level.
The cast is doing a great job, Ben Mendelsohn in particular, but they're being let down by the material.
Also, the die-hard "Agents of SHIELD" fan in me is just waiting for Director Mackenzie to show up and save the day.
I'm reserving judgement on the total story just yet but some of it is definitely a bit aha we retconned this for the sake of it.
I definitely agree tho the acting has been top notch so far.
I was actually inspired by this show to revisit "Captain Marvel" (alas, I was still unimpressed by it), and I'd totally forgotten that the film ended with Carol taking the Skrulls to find a new home. It's pretty jarring to realize that that failed pretty much immediately, and Carol...I guess just noped out of the whole affair?
Yeah it's very sad that suddenly it just all got retconned for the sake of it, at least they could have explained it away as they tried to find places and it turned into a warzone type situation and they had to come back to earth where it's safe.
To be honest Captain Marvel as a character is someone they shouldn't have added to the mcu because any story she is apart of and she doesn't solve makes no sense.
She's basically Superman of the MCU how can she not find them a home and make them safe?
I think if they really wanted to make her a thing they shouldn't have done it as a prequel, prequels never end up well.
