Marvel Fans Are Celebrating Secret Invasion"s 1 Year Anniversary By Tearing It Apart Again
Summary
This and other criticisms have been reawakened across social media by Marvel fans on Secret Invasion's first anniversary. On a second or third watch, there are still several elements of the show that don't sit right with viewers. More than any other MCU movie or show, Secret Invasion has clearly frustrated many fans with baffling ideas and questionable execution. Check out some of the posts below:
X user AVON highlights Secret Invasion's slow pace and excessive dialog, with plainly delivered exposition that takes up most of the show's runtime. Yet, Secret Invasion doesn't clear up many of the questions it poses. Apart from the details about Rhodey's replacement that AVON mentions, Secret Invasion also doesn't explain why the Skrulls have waited so long to attack, and why Nick Fury returns to Earth to make the conflict worse or why he leaves before it's resolved.
X user 3WProductions asks one of the most repeated questions about Secret Invasion: Why is it called Secret Invasion? In the comics, the Skrulls secretly infiltrate governments and superhero teams before they're discovered and have to resort to physical combat. In the MCU's Secret Invasion, only a few people are replaced by Skrulls, and they have little to no impact on the plot. Secret Invasion's tagline reads "who do you trust", yet the show doesn't feature any betrayals or plot twists involving the Skrull's shapeshifting abilities beyond Rhodey's Skrull replacement, which comes out of left field at the end.
Reddit user striking-complaint40 summarizes the problem with Secret Invasion's characters: none of their actions mean anything in the end. Nick Fury doesn't barely plays any role in the Skrulls' conflict despite being the protagonist, and he remains unchanged by the time he returns in The Marvels. G'iah and Talos' Super Skrull abilities also have little to do with Secret Invasion's "mystery" premise, and their bombastic final fight doesn't have any emotional weight as a result. What's worse, Talos and Maria Hill's deaths seem arbitrary and contrived.
Reddit user leviathan0999 points out that Secret Invasion's premise is particularly difficult to execute, as it requires plenty of narrative foundations in previous MCU projects. In fact, Marvel Comics' original Secret Invasion storyline received similar criticism back in 2008. The shocking reveal of certain characters' Skrull identities meant that fans had been following a fake version of their beloved heroes for a while, and that they had no way to suspect it beforehand. Likewise, a proper invasion plot would have been hard to implement in the MCU's Secret Invasion adaptation without replacing important MCU characters one, two, three, or more projects in advance.
