“Home”

The finale of Secret Invasion dropped on Disney + this morning and I am struggling with the feeling that I am having. It is the first time that I am feeling disappointed with a Marvel series on Disney +. Secret Invasion started so strong, but the truth is, the quality of the show slipped with every episode and this finale is so underwhelming that this has become my least favorite MCU TV show.

There was so many things about this episode that I did not like that I feel that there is just too many to list. I’ll give it a try:

The showdown between “Fury” and Gravik was dumb. Of course, it was G’iah instead of Fury and the whole Super Skrull fight at the end was terrible.
Does this mean that G’iah has the powers of all the Avengers?
Gravik and G’iah sure seem to master their new powers quickly and easily.
What is up with the President?
With the phone call Fury made to the president, why is he leaving the earth again?
They rush through the reveal of the kidnapped people and just taunt us with how long they were held.
Oh, and by the way, when they did release the prisoners, shouldn’t they be feeling the affects of the radiation like “Fury” was earlier?
This episode was too short and felt incredibly rushed.
Gravik’s death was just anticlimactic. The relationship with Fury and Gravik was wasted too as it should have been so much more. The scene with Samuel L. Jackson and Kingsley Ben-Adir was well acted, but since it was not actually Fury, it did not feel right.
No end credit scene

Olivia Colman is still the best part of this entire series. Every second she is on the screen is special and I want more of her in the MCU. I am not sure I want overpowered G’iah involved though.

The ending scene with Fury and Varra was decent. It was shot well, but it still did not make much sense. It felt as if the show thought this relationship was the key one for the show, but I felt as if the relationship was not as heavy as it could have been. They settled.

Secret Invasion’s strength was easily the acting. They had a bunch of scene work with some excellent actors, but it does not fit together well. This could have been so much better. I just am so disappointed with the overall series of Secret Invasion.

I figure I would toss out the current list of MCU Disney + shows.
