The series alsobrings Cobie Smulders Maria Hill back to the party.
Maria Hill Is Back…
Warning - This article contains spoilers for Episode 1 ofSecret Invasion.
From there,Maria Hill plays a key rolein getting the show’s main cast together.
She even gets to have a brief entanglement with Emilia Clarke’s G’iah.
Sadly, this first episode seems to be the only installment the character was given.
While the trio does their best to stop the attack, it still goes off.
While the bombs don’t get Maria Hill,Kinglsey Ben-Adir’s Gravik does.
Taking the form of Nick Fury, he takes her by surprise, shooting her.
The real Fury makes his way over to her, but not in time to save her life.
Sadly, the agent audiences first met inThe Avengerswhile overseeing the Avengers Initiative is no more.
For one, it is a classic example of the storytelling trope fridging."
The concept is when a female character is killed off solely to motivate the male character.
For the wider picture, Hills death is simply a footnote.
It doesnt even feel like shell play much into the rest ofSecret Invasions story.
At most, Fury might mention her death to Gravik when he takes him down.
Unfortunately, Hills Legacy doesnt look like itll ever grow any larger.
Secret Invasionis now streaming onDisney+.
