Olivia Colman could get it and I'm not even ashamed.
I'll probably watch it tomorrow. Hope its good.
Is Emilia Veranke or not?
It's the only thing that interests me from this show.
>Is Emilia Veranke or not?
No, and an ugly actress in a burqa will play her
I want to like it but I feel like it will be yet another disappointment
>Civil War
>more like Street Fight
>Secret Invasion
>no fricking superheroes at all
What Marvel mean by that
>this shared universe thing is starting to backfire
I'm so mad. It looked like after Endgame they were finally leaning into just DOING comicbook stuff and not having to worry if normies couldn't keep up.
Now we are back with extremely loose adaptations that have none of the fun of the originals. Secret Invasion (the comic) was so mid in execution, that it left so much room for improvement. Instead we get the weakest spy fiction in the MCU to date.
Spider-Verse doing well should prove without a doubt "do the cool thing, and people will be onboard". Making Secret Invasion a 6 part series centring on Nick Fury sitting in a chair, and killing of Maria Hill, with no supes to be seen, isn't "the cool thing".
I feel like they only made this because they needed streaming shit. It probably would’ve just been incorporated somehow into a second movie with the Skrulls.
they should just reboot marvel and make it fully animated like spiderverse
no shitty pajeet cgi, no reduced scope from the comics, no deepfakes, no paying trillions of dollars more every movie for each actor showing up again
but I guess that depends if they have people inhouse to pull that off
>they should just reboot marvel and make it fully animated like spiderverse
this
Honestly, the coolest parts to the orginal Secret Invasion was the build-up, marketing, and some of the tie-ins. The actual mini was trash out side of the shock value of the first issue.
Marvel studio already ruined this with the Captain Marvel movie. Expect a filler arc that coasts on the undeserved reputation of the mini.
baka no skrull gf((
It is obvious this is based on the boringfest that was Secret Invasion 2: Electric Boogaloo (or maybe the other way around)
Nothing happened there and nothing will happen in the tv series.
it IS the other way around, comic was written to promote this garbage.
>Nothing happening seems the standard for Marvel Disney+ productions.
>Isn't weird that a Studio that does serialized movies based on serialized fiction cannot adapt to doing serialized tv content?
It's like opening up past a the limitations of a movie run time should be a great opportunity to tell some amazing, indpeth, stories that give the audience and actors something to chew on. Instead it all trash.
It's apparently going to setup Brave New World and Armor Wars, we see the current US president in this show but he'll probably be outed as a Skrull or die as we know Ross becomes the president in Cap 4
They could setup Galactus or the F4, being skrulls
But nah, just the boring new film/series
Damn, didn’t actually expect them to kill off Hill like that
Such a waste. And I didn't feel anything, I felt they didn't do anything with the character. We feel we lost something just because she was in many movies before. It was boring and everything looked fake.
Probably has something to do with the fact that she's just a generic tough girl with guns in MCU.
They actually AI generated the credits, I hope they saved a lot of money because it looks terrible.

They actually fell for the decoy bags 🙁
Yeah, Fury has some PTSD from getting snapped or is he just experiencing fatigue from being old?
Insecurity and depressiom from no longer being on top in a post-Avengers world
Was Hill referring to Tony when they were talking about who he felt like he owed it to to build Sabre?
Tony and/or Nat most likely.
It's like the Obi-Wan series where they have to have the former badass be an incompetent frick-up for half the season so they can "grow"
So is this set after The Marvels? I recall Maria Hill was appearing in that movie.
Probably flashback shit. They’re going to have to show what the frick Carol was doing for 20 something years while ignoring her oath to Talos and the other refugees. I assume there will be some sort of heart to heart between Fury and Hill as well.
What a shitty first episode (I hope it's just the first episode.
It really feels like if there was a Phase 2 (not a good one) show
Yeah, they could have given us more. Feels more or less like the Flag Smashers from Falcon and Winter Soldier
At least the flag smashers:
1/ Didn't kill off a main character (god I hope that was bait).
2/ Was trying to say SOMETHING about borders n shit
Skrulls hate Space borders
*Skrulls hate borders that aren't theirs
>given us more
On what? Eventually we will find out what fury was actually doing post snap. They started a war and killed off a character i feel like that’s usually a lot for 1 episode
Fair
Don't you understand zoomer terminology?
>Slowing pacing and characters mostly sitting around talking to each other = nothing happens
TV episodes used to be 90% people talking in rooms because of budgets but they still had more stuff happening than a full season of a modern streaming show.
>TV episodes used to be 90% people talking in rooms because of budgets
To be fair they still do, even in this show we only get to see a few Skrulls in their actual forms, most of the time they're humans.
Hoping they are just leaning too hard into the "Fury is rusty because PTSD". Having the opening episode of a sci-fi spy fiction show with fricking weak spy fiction stuff going on. Then killing off a cool character that comic readers actually like is so wack.
Btw, there is no way they actually killed Hill off right? At this point she needs to just replace Fury if they don't give him infinity formula and recast. Because DAMN he is old as frick. We should have our spy fiction type characters doing John Wick & James Bond shit in these films/shows. ESPECIALLY in a superhero setting. I mean frick, they already have killed off Black Widow, and Mockingbird was a stay at home mum that never did shit in these. Killing of Maria basically just leaves Silver Sable? Who 110% will be introduced, then later die, in the same Spider-Man movie.
>watching woke shit made by people that hate white men simply for existing
you are moronic.
Fury will spend the whole thing sitting because Jackson is 100 and over it all
Very cool!
Capeshit TV sucks now
RETVRN
That sucked as well, anon. Dont let nostalgia and hunky abs distract you of that
I'm watching the series all the way through for the first time and it's great. Just started the final season.
>Dont let hunky abs distract you of that
But that is the disney way...
>now
It was always trash.
you can tell this is going to be hampered by the low budget, Skrulls mostly stay in the same human form even when in their new homeland or having a secret meeting where they'd want to use another identity since they cant afford too much make-up or transformation shots, couldn't even get that black guy a blue food prop he could actually eat he had to pretend to bite into it lol
Only thing that would make me care would be Super Skrulls
It was bad
You were expecting quality from current day disney?
GOTG 3 was good
Pfffttt lmao
Oh, you're going to be a Cinemaphilentrarian now?
So why are they so incapable of making a good Disney+ Marvel show?
The closest they've had is Wandavision, and that generically shat the bed in the end too
Because no matter if it's shit there's no need to try because because morons will consoom and defend it anyway, and if they don't they have paid shills
Werewolf by Night wound up being better than I expected but that may've been because their biggest CG ask Man-Thing was also semi-practical effects.
Ok I'll give you that, I thought it was decent. I guess it helped it was just a one-and-done 30 minute thing. Only thing I didn't like was the obvious MCU joke of them making fun of Man-Thing's real name being Ted
Definitely a good point. I feel a lot of their shows would've worked better if they'd been longer and done a more episodic format. They chased after miniseries for prestige clout and it bit them in the ass. It's why I'm tentatively looking forwards to Daredevil: Born Again, because that's got 18 episodes so hopefully it'll feel like an ACTUAL TV show, even if it turns out as mediocre or shitty as everything else so far
I was especially disappointed in Loki tbh, because when I heard the concept I thought it'd be great for a TV series. I was expecting some Tom Hiddelston/Owen Wilson time-travel buddy cop hijinks across a series, and instead I got multiverse variant crap
>They chased after miniseries for prestige clout and it bit them in the ass.
I think a reason for this is that Marvel is afraid of losing audience investment if most of their shows are too long plus they were initially spamming as much content as possible so they kept them as short as six episodes. It almost feels like a response to the Netflix Marvel shows, where the main complaint was that those were too long and stretched thin.
Because they're essentially extended movies rather than actual TV shows, they don't really embrace the format which leads to most of them having a mixed bag quality because they're all over the place instead of just focusing on plot point
>Wandavision- the initial mystery and the Wanda-Vision drama was great, the SWORD shit was not
>Falcon and Winter Soldier- rare case of a D+ Marvel show where the subplots (Bucky, Zemo, John Walker, and Isaiah Bradley) were way more interesting than the actual story with the Flagsmashers
>Loki- the best series in both presentation and how it actually impacts the MCU but is dragged down by it's short length keeping them from fully fleshing out its concepts
>What If- what you expect from an anthology show, some eps are good and some not so much. The episode lengths and how it affects the pacing and writing is what really hurts the series.
>Hawkeye- starts out as a simple MCU christmas adventure and turns into one big clusterfrick by the end
>Moon Knight- best parts were Steven/Marc/Khonshu dynamic and the former two dealing with their shit, the Ethan Hawke cult and Layla were fine
>Ms. Marvel- the "Disney Channel shit" that initially turned audiences off from watching the show ended up way more fun and stylish than the Djinn storyline that took over the middle part of the series
>She-Hulk- actually embraced the episodic format for once, best eps were the ones that involved MCU characters like Bruce, Wong, Emil, and Daredevil, other than that it's a weird chick flick comedy.
After this and Loki 2 they should just drop all the Ironheart and Agatha episodes, and focus on Daredevil plus the specials until Yellowstone implodes.
was that it for ross?
