bad
i expect ill press play and not even know whats going on because i was too busy reading when i put the first episode on
Some of the Skrulls on Earth have gotten sick of waiting for Shield/Saber's help finding a new planet and decided to trigger a nuclear war to kill off the human population. They detonate dirty bombs in Moscow and kill Maria Hill.
I don't understand why the Skrulls can't just live openly on Earth, like the New Asgardians already do
I don't understand why they're asking a civilization whose space travel abilities are largely theoretical to find them a new planet.
These skrulls desperately need their god-emperor twunk to arrive and teach them not to be morons.
>Whole galaxy of Travel Capable Species.
>Act the one without is supposed to engage in some kinda resettlement scheme.
Certainly Tony Stark reverse-engineered space travel in the five years after he came back in an interstellar craft, right? Fury was on a spaceship. And don't the Skulls know how to build interstellar drives themselves?
>And don't the Skulls know how to build interstellar drives themselves?
That was the whole damn point of the Captain Marvel film.
How did that one end? Mar-Vell used the space stone to build an interstellar drive, but it blew up? And they can't build another one without the Space Stone, but Captain Marvel can fly through space? Can't she just, like, bring back a Kree ship?
Having a character who clearly has personal FTL abilities and cares about their welfare simply fetch a selection of ships or, like, blueprints for them to use to settle a new planet would be far too easy.
I guess we'll explore this more in Captain Marvel 2, but it really doesn't feel like Carol accomplished anything over the last 30 years despite being pretty close to the most powerful being in the current universe
How do the skrulls not have that when the gotg and every other fricker in space can go through their warps or whatever is marvel hyper drive
>Fury was on a spaceship.
A spaceship that also was full of skrulls.
I really don't get what the issue is among the skrulls, I thought that post credits scene in Far From Home was teasing finding them a home at last, not it being whatever S.A.B.E.R. is.
Honestly feels like the original idea was scrapped and replaced. Like a skrull script. How meta.
Republicans currently think there's a cabal of israeli pedophiles that steal blood of children in order to gain youth with an even more extreme sect believing in shape-shifting reptiles. The Asgardians on earth are at least *mostly* white
>mostly
…are you sure about that? I’m just saying: Valkyrie and Heimdall have been around for a while, and theoretically there’s nothing stopping the Skrulls from turning into a whole species of 10/10 blue-eyed blonde Aryan race posterboys if they wanted to.
If I were a betting man, Hulk or Thor for the powerlevels. And Thor has been mostly off-planet since Endgame, so Hulk’s the safer bet. Still if he can get fricking Cull’s DNA all bets are off.
Enjoy that holiday anon.
I keep forgetting they can even though they’re a harmless Norwegian fishing village. They just gave Thor an interstellar longboat out of nowhere in 4, didn’t they?
Asagardians could openly curbstomp the combined militaries of the planet. Skrulls can be killed with bullets and look ugly as frick.
Fury is ultimately right
>Humans can't even tolerate each other
They could have gone to Knowhere which is a giant refugee and asked the Guardians for help considering they've fought against the Kree+ have actual space faring capabilities
Knowhere would have been a great place to house the homeless skrulls even
yeah tat was right at the end
someting about a guy from new zealand aswell and his daughters named gaia after earth CANT WAIT FOR EPISODE 2!!
>Maria Hill.
You mean LMD Hill. Also, she hasn't gotten the chance to be a c**t seeing as she's done jackshit for every movie. Would've wanted for her to be the sexy tomboy that she should've been but since everything MCU is going down the shitter I don't expect anything good.
based on interviews I think she's dead, at least for this series. I hope they bring her back as a variant SHIELD Director Maria Hill in Secret Wars. Would be a nice way to tie off Nick Fury's arc based on what we can expect from this series (Nick getting his shit together and avenging Maria out of grief).
How many times are they going to "tie of Fury's arc"? Dude has more farewell tours than a boomer rock band
Zero.
I should probably finish the first episode
I closed mpv after the opening
no bueno
Doctor Who did it better
>Listen I know they're terrorists who murdered countless people but we should give peace a chance, just ignore the fact that the leader whos standing there murdered one of her own speices for a youtube video.
>That said if group of alien refugees are forced into a series of contrived events that leads to the death of my bland companion I'll burn your sanctuary down.
>vaguely middle eastern music starts playing
Frick me, Moffet just hated the audience, Chibnall sucked but you could really hear the contempt for the audience with Moffet.
Chibnall is far worse than Moffat ever was, even when Moffat was at his most condescending, up-his-own-arse peak. If either of them had contempt for the audience, it was Chibnall with how insultingly stupid, nonsensical, and dull his episodes got
Btw for what it's worth, Moffat didn't even write that Zygon two-parter
He let is off and he had the doctor basically say. Sure its okay to murder thousands as long as its not anyone I know. Btws we're going to keep this lie going because frick having a intresting idea of humanity trying to accept the aliens.
>He let is off and he had the doctor basically say. Sure its okay to murder thousands as long as its not anyone I know.
Where the frick did you get that from?? The whole point of that story is the Doctor trying to stop a war breaking out and trying to avoid anybody dying. The whole reason most people remember the two parter is because of this big anti-war speech at the climax: https://youtu.be/BJP9o4BEziI
It's not even that good a story and it's so horribly blunt and 2015 about the unsubtle Muslim immigrants/terrorists metaphor and they never brought this storyline up again afterwards despite the fact it should be a very big thing, but you're utterly wrong on your point there and I have no idea why
Thanks I guess
The doctor basically let's the evil Zygon who has killed hundreds even innocent Zygons off to avoid the war, I get the anti war message but its kind of hard to forgive the other guy when they've killed dozens and committed countless war crimes.
Doctor Who always has these huge alien events that humanity forgets about the next week.
Thats every D+ show nothing happens until the last episode
why does their logo look like the combine logo from half life
Boredom
Spoilers are already out.
>The Skrulls frame Fury for the bombing in Russia and the United Nations brand him a terrorist despite Rhodes defending him.
>Talos admits that while Fury was in space he sent a beacon that attracted millions of Skrulls to Earth.
>Fury meets with Rhodes and refuses to call the Avengers and risk the Skrulls replacing them. Rhodes tries to place Fury under arrest for his own protection, but Fury escapes.
>Meanwhile, Sonya Falsworth tortures a captive Skrull before Gravik arrives and rescues him, but then executes the prisoner for breaking down and revealing their secrets to Falsworth.
>While Gravik is away, Gi’ah accesses his computer and learns he is conducting genetic experiments with DNA samples from Groot, a Frost Giant and Cull Obsidian among others to create Super-Skrulls.
>Skrulls embedded in the world governments gather and decide to support Gravik’s invasion. A Skrull masquerading as the British Prime-Minister is against it and secretly warns Talos.
>Episode ends with Fury returning home and reuniting with his estranged wife Priscilla Fury, who is actually a Skrull.
Was Fury's wife replaced by a Skrull, or did he just marry one?
The more is if it's a male Skrull shapeshifting as a female Earthling?
>>Fury meets with Rhodes and refuses to call the Avengers
>Call them Fury.
>I can't, you know I can't. The budget obviously doesn't allow for it.
This part took me out tbh
I wondered when they’d address this. I mean this seems like a good time to use his pager or call Black Panther or something.
Captain Falcon, White Wolf, Hawkeye (Barton). Pretty much all the Covert Ops boys. Heck give Rhodes a Stealth Suit and we got plenty for a run.
>I need backup. Get me Agent Barton!
>Ah... Sir, there's been an.... Incident.
>Something about a snow plow.
>Did you read the report about the updated dick status?
>Super Skrulls
I'll just wait until this becomes a thing, then see it on Youtube.
>Fury meets with Rhodes and refuses to call the Avengers
What Avengers? Who would Rhodey even call?
>he is conducting genetic experiments with DNA samples from Groot, a Frost Giant and Cull Obsidian among others to create Super-Skrulls
Christ guys, yeah, let's just throw in some Android Saga while we're at it,
>What Avengers? Who would Rhodey even call?
Assuming we're sticking with earth based heroes ATM
>Spider-man
>Ant-man
>Hawkeye
>Hulk
>Shuri and the Wakandians
>Bucky and Sam
>Valkyrie and the Asgardians
>Doctor Strange
And these are all people that Rhody knows after fighting alongside them in endgame
funny thing is the skrull are literally just one terrorist group it'd probably just take 2 or 3 of them and they'd wash them in a day.
Get you a smart one a strong one and a all around boom you got a solid team for wrecking skrull
Pure ethnic Russian right there.
>nobody can remember if it's Tah-los or Tay-tos
I think it's in-character for some people to mispronounce it.
>Refugees are becoming radicalised against their host nation
>USA and Russia are manipulated into war with one another
>US President looks like RFK jr
What was Disney thinking?
Being familiar with the region, it's absolutely impossible to pretend West Yorkshire is Russia. I hope they go elsewhere soon.
>West Yorkshire is Russia.
I mean its a bleak desolate landscape so it fits.
You're thinking of Ukraine, anon.
>t. man who has never left his hometown and gets all his opinions from other countries from reddit
lamo elsewhere is london
i haven't even watched this shit i don't care
the ai opening is just the icing on the cake, it looks so lazy and cheap.
I would assume invasions and secrets.
Kill all skrulls.
ahh hill was soft anyways, not the attempting-to-be fury featured in the comics
Well it's a Disney+ MCU series so I expect nothing of consequence to happen that can't be explained by one line of dialogue in whatever movie decides to acknowledge it.
It's crazy that Disney can throw enough money around to get Samuel L. Motherfrickin' Jackson to be the lead in a series along with Ben Mendelsohn, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Coleman, Don Cheadle, and Martin Freeman, and yet it's still this dull
I just don't give a single frick about Skrulls. Nothing interesting will happen with this
Because our first encounter with them is as woefully mistreated refugees.
They'll never stick the landing of them as villains.
They don't have the proper writers or production staff for the project. All the best actors in the world don't matter then they are given shit to work with.
It just seems like you could trade Don Cheadle alone for a pretty good writer's room. Those names can't come cheap.
I don't think a good writer could have made this premise work anyway. They already undercut the whole idea of it by having the Skrulls be refugees who need help instead of, say, a peaceful splinter faction of an extragalactic empire that is still quite powerful and interested in conquest via ninja.
it's either
>no one cares
or
>people meme the shit out of them about the space trucks of peace poor refugee terrorists
>captain marvel was wrong, bbeg of her movie were right the whole time
What did they even think could possibly be a good outcome of going into the fricking skrull arc of Marvel after completely fricking it in the Ms. Marvel Sue movie. Carol is a fricking dipshit by action already but to come right out and make it implicit in canon that she fricked up unilaterally by not being a good girl and listening to Jude Law, dooming earth and the galaxy to dealing with shape shifting fricking shits forevermore, takes the cake for ongoing continuity writing. They are that incompetent. Skrull are evil or skrull dindu nuffin, pick a lane. Like with flashpoint the idea was always bad so they should have probably left it at muh refugeeez but they couldn't help themselves; back to the vault to adapt the "precipitous decline" age of comics.
The comics did sort of resolve the problem of shapeshifters under the bed by making their boss an avenger and having dissidents if baddies are needed, but that requires setup the mcu has barely begun. I was baffled when I found out they were doing this project at all. It just seems so unsuited to what they put in play.
I don't get what's so hard to understand. They said it even back then that they didn't want skrulls to be all bad or all good. After 20 years, some of the younger ones got butthurt and broke off into some extremist groups. The same shit is gonna happen with muties. There's some good ones, there's gonna be the ones blowing people up, but the Avengers aren't gonna go out and start massacring them all.
>the Avengers aren't gonna go out and start massacring them all
This is what happens when you cut Uncle Ben from your Spider-Man movies
Yeah one problem
>that pretentious idea fricking sucks
and falls on it's face immediately in the execution, where all the poor refugee ayy lmaos are fricking evil and it's all Captain Marvels fault they're anyone's problem. Oh but Fury will tell one that they're one of the good ones.
>We did it marvel, we did an allegory about... ohnonononononono
This is as bad messaging wise as "these people only stole from the equivalent of space holocaust 9000 victims, feel bad 4 them" from black falcon, but worse because it directly undermines Captain Marvel as a film (and it's sequel, implying it ever comes out or even references any of this) instead of just ruining itself.
>skrulls are le good
This would be a better show if Samuel Jackson beat the shit out of these motherfricking green turds every minute. I hate xenos so much it's unreal.
I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFRICKING SKRULLS ON MY MOTHERFRICKING PLANET
>The refugee's you took in will kill you if they don't get what they want when they want it
Great message guys. I'd call them based if I thought for one second this was deliberate
So are the Skrulls Israelis or Palestinians?
Both
>We need a great acting talent to really nail the antagonist in our series
>Get me Ben Kingsley!
>No problem, Sir
>Trevor Slattery was a Skrull all along
Fury can’t find the Skrull base from his space station? Seriously?
Fury can’t even find the button to call Captain Marvel again lmao
I mean, he did it only when he was 100% sure he was going to die
That’s the stupidest part.
>”I can surely survive Loki’s alien invasion long enough to push a button”
>”I can surely surely survive Ultron meteoring the planet long enough to push a button”
>”Dormammu and Ego’s invasions? Nah, we don’t need Carol for this”
>”Oh look, a giant hand appears to be coming out of the ocean. It must proportionally be attached to something big enough to use it as an egg. This is not a situation that requires Carol, surely”
>”The Avengers appear to be engaged in some sort of civil war. If only there were some powerful force I could call in to mediate, perhaps one with experience dealing with overbearing military structures?”
There is literally no reason he shouldn’t have called Carol in earlier. You can’t even say she’s solving space crime. Ronan the Accuser got away with EVERYTHING until the Guardians stoped him. The Kree as a whole were still a threat to Earth in Agents of SHIELD with no sign their empire is going under. She never found out about the Ultra-Humanite’s super obvious evil experiments, the dark elves setting out to destroy the universe flew completely under her radar and she hasn’t done jack SHIT to liberate the Grandmaster’s subjects or the Collector’s slaves.
WHAT THE FRICK IS SHE DOING OUT THERE, is she actually fighting FOR the Kree Empire??
space yoga
Not the character's fault if Disney is a bunch of indecisive homosexuals. Carol should have been introduced into into the MCU a phase sooner, at least
She was sucking dick so good the aliens of the galaxy called her a marvel.
None of this matters because The Marvels Movie trailer shows Fury will be back in the space station.
Did they change the intro or did they keep that eyesore?
>vapour. old.
cast fury jr
I'm mad they killed Maria Hill in episode 1. I always wanted to see her character develop into the hardass badass she is in the comics.
Surprised they didn’t use this skrull bullshit as an excuse to bring the Coulson actor back
I sort of drifted off and didn't finish the first ep.
To be fair this happens to me with everything, but eeh
idgi
I thought it was kinda obvious that the skrull introducing Gravik in 95 was the same woman as Fury's wiye
Shitting on the show aside, any hints on the last DNA donor Gravik is looking for to complete his Super Skrull project. He presently has Groot, Frost Beast, Cull Obsidian, and Extremis. What would tie it all together?
>Groot
Replacement for Mr Fantastic
>Extremis
Replacement for Human Torch
>Cull Obsidian
Replacement for The The Thing
>Frost Beast
Frick sue storm
frick her indeed
It’s so funny how halfheartedly the comics try to retcon her as “the most dangerous F4 member”
I mean is it really a retcon? She learned how to use her powers powers better and can literally pop you from the inside out. Seems more like just years of character progression
It kind of is because the way it’s framed makes it seem like she’s ALWAYS been treated as that, and not as Reed’s cheerleader.
Brie really hit the wall hard. She got Envy Adams dead on but she was never a good fit for Carol.
they started that like a year after the first FF's apparition.
They realized pretty early that invisibility is a lame power on its own, for a hero at least.
Who the frick is Frost Beast?
frick, can't believe they tricked Fury into fricking green pussy.
>not Fury tricked green pussy into fricking BBC
its so boring i'm enjoying reading these homies talking bout dr who
calling The Avengers (or what's left of them) would only start a war, those guys are too messy
As opposed to…letting the Skrulls run around unchecked with nobody competent enough left around Fury to solve it? And hey, all things considered they handled Ultron pretty damn smoothly especially considering Ultron had Wanda and Pietro on his side. Granted, they handled it because Tony decided to double down on his science nonsense and talked Bruce into going along with it but they still got those civilians off the floating mass.
This show is so bad.
I kinda liked the conversations in the episode
Talos knows he fricked up big time, Rhodey & Fury really chewed it up in the tavern
>Skrulls replaced the leaders of most countries EXCEPT the USA
Wtf? Isn't President of the USA the number one guy you should be replacing?
The real US president was replaced with a fake in 2021. Hollywood just doesn’t want people thinking too much
We’re only two episodes into this shit? I’m not watching. Someone spoil it
>please spoonfeed me instead me just using Google
Yes Reddit, spoonfeed me. I don’t care enough about your globohomosexual to google it.
>episodio
Found the Hispanic. Keep watching your telenovelas Manuel
yet here you are looking for more information, asking to be spoonfed the plot
What moron wrote this show? The show could work great in concept but its written in the most moronic fashion
That describes every MCU project since Endgame and the answer to what morons wrote it is women
Was the recap in the beginning of the episode from Agents of SHIELD? I don't remember seeing most of that from Captain Marvel movie
all captain marvel
They mentioned Coulson in the recap, so that was in Captain Marvel too?
You can just say you didn't watch the movie
I did watch it, don't remember them mentioning Coulson
You obviously didn't watch it
Any webm requests?
Olivia Coleman chopping that finger off.
Honestly credit to Coleman she's the most entertaining thing about this show.
I love her so much
and then my copy of the Favourite loaded up after ep2
>Olivia Coleman chopping that finger off.
practically the same scene was in Netflix's Luke Cage series, but I doubt Disney would be ballsy enough to have on screen sex too
I looked for reviews and saw that most of the big ones were negative about it and fell for the AI Bad meme, but when I actually watched it it was great.
I'm very excited for the next episode, because I love conspiratorial thinking.
In what way is Pierce mediocre? He was presented as an excellent spy that Fury admired. Sure, he turned evil, but mediocrity is not about being good/evil.
Muy Malo, muchas gracias.
>people that have been chased out of their home and searched for a found home elsewhere, infiltrated our societies, took control of our governments and want to end us all! they're vile, slime shapeshifters, they look like you and me, but they're evil.
Uhm.
Based?
