It has to be a guaranteed success, right?
Well,things went sidewaysquickly forSecret Invasion.
TheMCU’slatest entryowns the four lowest-rated Marvel StudiosDisney+episodes onRotten Tomatoeswith thefinale landing at a disastrous 13%.
A handful of fans enjoyed the series, but more fans than usual seem to agree with the critics.
Here is a list of a few of the biggest criticisms coming out ofSecret Invasion.
1.)
What Could Have Been
On paper,Secret Invasionhad all of the pieces necessary to be a smash hit.
2.)
G’iah, played by Emilia Clarke, ended the series as arguably the most important player on the board.
Her lead-up to that point was largely reliant on being the daughter ofTalosand the number two to Gravik.
Then there is Olivia Colman’s Sonya Farnsworth.
3.)
It was a great start.
Then came the sudden and surprising death of G’iah at the hands of Gravik.
This meant viewers had one impactful surprise death and one death that meant virtually nothing.
This is the same episode that saw his daughter come back to life.
All of this retroactively softened the impact of Maria Hill’s death in Episode 1.
4.)
The traditional Super Skrull has four superpowers from theFantastic Four.
Gravik originally adapted an MCU version of that taking similar powers from established MCU characters.
The worst offense of this overpowered character is that it left G’iah on the board.
5.)
She-Hulk Warned Marvel Studios About CGI
The irony of the final fight of this series is palpable.
Many believedSecret Invasionwould be a return to form.
The fact thatShe-Hulkso blatantly called attention to it is the cherry on top of a bummer sundae.
6.)
This leads to the genocide of Skrulls and humans alike.
Only now, she is the most powerful character in MCU history.
7.)
The reason this is different is because this adds almost nothing to the character.
It largely takes away some of Rhodey’s most impactful moments in the MCU.
Rhodes was not there for the death and funeral of Tony Stark, a Skrull was.
Rhodes was not the one who made the Baby Thanos joke, a Skrull did.
Rhodes did not witness the creation of “Tony Stank,” a Skrull did.
This is something that could have been left ambiguous and would have had the same impact on theSecret Invasionstory.
It is not the unfair minority hate that so many other shows have previously gotten.
Marvel Studios just forgot to tell him what the comic was about.
The studio cannot get this back.
There is no world where fans get another chance to see theSecret Invasionstoryline in the MCU.
