I did get a little nostalgia kick at seeing the airings getting wrapped in the "Wonderful World of Disney" branding. Maybe they'll dig Michael Eisner out of mothballs to introduce it.

I like that a wider audience is able to see Ms. Marvel even it's promotion / thrown in there because of the writer's strike. The networks are no longer capable of doing it but there really needs to be a regular weekly series for Ms. Marvel.

The other two samples for the Super Skrull machine were an Asgardian Ice Beast that Thor killed on earth, and Cull Obsidian's arm from when it was cut off by that portal by Strange during Infinity War. Cull was the bruiser one of Thanos' henchmen, likely he stands in for The Thing's powers. Ice powers will be the containment/shield equivalent of the Invisible Woman's.

my new theory: Kang was a misdirect and/or being written out of phase 6. The reason this show sucks rear end is because it had to be rewritten or reshot or recut reallll fast to set up a new ending where skrulls are the new big bad of phase 5 and phase 6. gravik dies but the super skrulls are not all swept up. meaning any enhanced human in the MCU on screen after the finale of secret invasion could be a skrull Thunderbolts and New World Order reshoots were to add skrulls to the plot Kang Dynasty is turned into a proper secret invasion storyline where all the heroes could be skrulls and who is who? secret wars still happens StrugglingHoneybun fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jul 17, 2023 |

We did already have the Beyonder appear, so Secret Wars wouldn't be a stretch. But you kinda need the Fantastic Four and the splendor of von DOOM for that, since Victor is a kind of a big player in the first Secret Wars

Disney just put out a clip of Fury's wife and Talos' daughter fighting together but in their human form and on top of everything else, this show has done a poor job of explaining why Skrulls stay in human form all the time. These are two Skrulls getting attacked by presumably other Skrulls and they stay in human form? Even though we know there takes a certain amount of intent to stay in human form, based on Talos fading when he got hurt. This show feels so lazy.

Episode 5 is up. Best made episode so far, at least this one rattles along and things happen. Made me wish that Olivia Coleman was the lead, not Fury, because she's way better at being Nick Fury than Nick Fury right now. Lol at Fury's wife going on about how the house provided privacy and security and then immediately some bad bastards turn up and show how easily this house, that doesn't even have bulletproof glass, can be found and penetrated. Luckily the first shots miss so they can have an action scene shooting... whoever it was that was attacking. (And just as I said earlier, of course she had guns in the house, so why Skrull Rhodey was sending her to pick up a gun was ridiculous.) Lol also, the massive Skrull invasion threat is reduced down to being really just Gravik because his own dudes are turning against him because in a couple of episodes he went from having all the infiltrated world leaders bending the knee to some of his own dudes trying to off him with a hammer and a plastic bag. Could have used one of the guns they have, but sure make it slow and inefficient that's always a good plan. Lol once again at Fury during a whole "yeah, we can't rely on superheroes" speech when it's a couple of years after them having brought back half the universe, and motherfucker you're the one that set up the Avengers to do such a thing. Come ON. And really, you're going to have three separate compartments in a tomb, one for a jacket, one for a pistol with a single clip of ammo, and one for JUST the eyepatch? You can't have that all in one pile? And really, the US president is going to consider starting WWIII by an attack on Russia soil rather than just telling War Machine, who's standing right there, to suit up and take care of it quietly? Or calling in nu-Captain America to go sort it? It feels like this is exactly the kind of thing you send in a special persons team to do to avoid a war.

The Olivia Colman praise is everywhere people talk about this show, and I don't get it. She has had like 3 minutes of screen time prior to this episode (Just starting it now, so I have no clue if there's more here). It's just not enough to think it's some standout performance, it feels like everyone is just saying it because that's what people are supposed to say because they like her. Edit - Half the drat runtime of this show is the credits. Marvel needs to relax on their credits, holy poo poo. Super Deuce fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Jul 19, 2023 |

Skrull Rhodey's promise that the video of Nick Fury will be at the top of every news bulletin in 10 minutes is so dumb. I uh, think the news will be leading with the whole Presidential assassination attempt with shapeshifting aliens thing actually. Right then is probably the single worst time for him to release it.

So Beto and the rest of the non-Gravik Skrull commandos were just completely superfluous. You could just totally skip their scenes and not miss anything.

Feel like that has to be in the top of the 'What situation do we need help' list. I think Fury is the last person i would want trying to prevent WWIII solo. I cracked up as they kept opening up each compartment and it's just 1 thing in each. And lmao it's a single handgun and clip. Sure that's gong to be enough against a super skrull!

It's also dumb because superheroes, almost by definition, don't wait to be asked before trying to help. It's an even bigger problem with Carol Danvers because she's actually relevant to the plot, but because she's so far above the conflict in power level they can't have her involved.

Haha, this show loving sucks. I can't wait to say that in the past tense one week from now. With the amount they apparently paid to make this thing, they definitely could have done a proper film, get a few more of the wider MCU cast to show up, throw in a few more Skrull surprises and had some actual OH gently caress WHAT WAIT PEPPER POTTS IS A SKRULL? SKRULLS HAVE CONTROL OF STARK TECH? or something like that but nah, Rhodey will do the job just fine, since our script doesn't actually have anything actually happening And a show that is thin on plot beats can be fine and even great, if the character moments between plot beats are worth a drat, which they're not!

Show continues to slightly improve, but only slightly, with a bit more plot momentum and action that, while not great, is at least noticeably better than the lethargic shootout from the end of last episode. At least Olivia Colman is having fun here and is probably the highlight of this episode, though Sonya isn't exactly a role that's stretching her abilities as an actor. Fury's "we don't need superheroes" speech was complete nonsense, and Gravik's plan doesn't make much sense - why would he want New Skrullos destroyed? at least they worked in a cameo from that one guy nobody remembered or cared about from Black Widow once they realized he wasn't playing Taskmaster

He's also betting that Rhodey can get the airstrike called off which seems like a gamble. If the show was better written Gravik might use a successful strike as leverage to convince other Skrulls of the need to fight but I don't think that's what we're getting.

If your goal is to prevent WW3, there is no reason for Fury to not kill Rhodey Skrull. One bullet and the US will have to step back and realized that they are compromised too. I don't get it.
