Secret Invasion’s big twist retroactively made Avengers: Infinity War a little bit worse.

The recent Skrull-based project shocked audiences by revealing thatWar Machinehimself was one of the shape-shifting aliens.

Not only that, but the swap might have happened as early asCaptain America: Civil War.

Avengers: Infinity War, War Machine

This understandably led to plenty of backlash regarding the decision, with many fans exclaiming that it ruined keyMCUscenes.

It’s much less impactful when audiences learn that it wasactually just a random Skrull named Raava.

Rhodey can be seen wandering around and looking for his friends and heroic comrades.

Needless to say, this negative reception probably qualifies.

Avengers: Infinity WarandSecret Invasionare now available to stream on Disney+.
