#SecretInvasion #endingexplained
So the series finale of Secret Invasion has thrown the world into chaos. Setting us up for Nick Fury’s newest mission in The Marvel’s and a fight with the new Kree villain, Dar-Benn. As well as setting up Thunderbolt Ross for his long-awaited revenge in Captain America: Brave New World, and Phase 5’s final film, Thunderbolts.
And a little later we’ll talk about how we could see an unlikely alliance between Thunderbolt Ross and Dar-Benn Den-Barr. [clip, would you like to form an alliance]
So for me, Secret Invasion was pretty underwhelming. I was really hoping that this show would be able to stick the landing and salvage the series. But… [clip]
But despite the series' anticlimactic ending, it did lay some serious groundwork for what's to come in Phase 5 of the MCU. The world is in absolute chaos. Despite Fury and Gaiah defeating Gravick to prevent a human-Skrull war from happening-it looks like it's going to happen anyway. [clip]
President Ritson’s reckless reaction to the Skrull invasion and attack on his life has lit a fire that I’m not sure could ever truly be stopped. The President of the United States just confirmed that shape shifting aliens exist and labeled them enemy number one.
So we all knew that Secret Invasion would likely end with Fury going back to space. Because, in The Marvels trailer we saw him back on the space station. He’s returning to space to begin talks with the Kree who are interest in peace talks with the Skrulls-meaning that we could see the Skrulls get to migrate to planet Hala and live in Harmony with the Kree.
Now this is pretty significant considering that the Kree and the Skrull were at war for a long time. In Captain Marvel we learned that unlike in the comics, the Skrulls weren’t the instigators in their war with the Kree. [clip]
So it makes sense that the Kree would be open to redeeming themselves of their Skrull genocide. After Captain Marvel defeated Yon-Rogg and The Supreme Intelligence and exposed their lies and manipulation to the other Kree, I could see new leadership looking to rectify their past transgressions against the Skrulls.
Doug: Why can’t the Skrulls go live on that planet Thanos went to after the snap?
Because that’d make too much sense.
So anyway, in The Marvels we’ll be meeting a new villain, Dar-Benn. In the comics Dar-Benn was very displeased with the Kree’s new leader and attempted to assassinate him and place the blame on the Skrulls.
I think this is EXACTLY what we’ll be seeing take place in The Marvels. A wartime character like Dar-Benn will be very critical of the Kree’s new leader as well as Carol Danvers Captain Marvel who she calls [clip]
She likely holds a big grudge against Captain Marvel for destroying the Supreme Intelligence and helping the Skrulls. So when Dar-Benn learns that the new Kree leadership is considering peace talks with the Skrulls, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see her assassinate the new Kree leader and try to pin it on the Skrulls, as well as Earth and Captain Marvel. Thus putting a stop to any peace talks.
And it’s worth mentioning Dar-Benn’s resemblance to Ronan the Accuser, both wielding these pretty badass hammers.. [clip]

[@AirForcePararescuer]

Okay so im still particularly confused on when Gravik turned on Fury, when Rhodey was taken, and how did any of the humans survive being in that radiation for years?

[@AirForcePararescuer]

It seems a pretty fast turn for Fury to come back after the Blip, get the skrulls together and collect DNA (presumably half of the skrulls dusted too?). Then within that time Fury goes to space and Gravik starts abducting people? Or Gravik turned on Fury before that, and still went to collect DNA, but didn't steal it at that point?

[@AirForcePararescuer]

​@budgiecat2885 I just WOW! I had to read that three times, how long did that take you to write? That's probably one of the best, and most concise wrap ups of pre/post endgame MCU, also have me some good laughs. There's still appears to me that there's A LOT more in terms of plot holes throughout phase 4 than I originally realized.

[@AirForcePararescuer]

​@budgiecat2885so overall about a 3-4 year period where Gravik could've turned on Fury and started abducting people, still stands how did the humans survive in the radiation? How long was Rhodey a Skrull?

[@muchanic]

@budgiecat2885 That is really comprehensive and long summary of the phases 4 and 5 so far. Just a nitpick (or two), it would be better if you used paragraphs and fullstops as this one long-ass sentence is difficult to read. Second thing, it was not Gravik but Talos impersonating Fury in Far from Home. Still the timeline on Secret Invasion is not known, when was Rhodey and Everett Ross replaced in MCU?? Rhodey was wearing hospital gown which would imply that it happened during or after Civil War and that during Infinity War and Endgame it was Skrull Rhodey fighting with Avengers. But also Fury made Gravik and his team of Skrulls collect DNA samples of all the Avengers and villains most likely after final battle in Endgame. So was Gravik still loyal to Fury or he was secretly plotting this for years? So many questions that remained unanswered in the series. Is it really late 2026 during events in Secret Invasion?

[@Wezqu]

@@AirForcePararescuer I would say the real Rhodes was last seen in the Falcon and Winter Soldier series first episode as thats clearly Rhodes when he talks with Sam in Steve's museum exhibit. Why would a Skrull try to convince Falcon to reconsider his choice of not taking up the mantle. He does not straight on say it but he clearly states when Sam says "that nobody was carrying the shield in 70 years while Steve was in ice" answering "it was a different time". Then keeps saying how unstable and dangerous the current political climate is. The Skrulls really chose the right man to replace as Rhodes seemed to be the one man who knew that things are going to go worse and him being out of the game just made it easier for them. This also most likely straight influences the events that lead to Armor Wars because most likely the Skrull Rhodes did not care about who got their hands on Starks armors. So Rhodes was replaced somewhere between the two years of the events of Falcon and Winter Soldier and Secret Wars

Secret Invasion could have been a bigger show with higher stakes, but with only 6 episodes it was an almost impossible task. That said, I liked the ending, and everything that happen in the past 5-10 minutes will lead to pretty big things in upcoming MCU projects, which I like. The world being in chaos, countries (or governments) messing things up and everything being polarised is something *very* realistic, all things considered.

HER ENTIRE SPECIES IS BEING EXECUTED.

@@VioletAeonSnowfield Whoa dude. The problem with your theory is that you're thinking as her character. Yes, those are possible thoughts that the character could have. The reality is that what characters we see in the MCU again, is determined by what Marvel, Marvel Studios, and the writers and directors of the film want. As I stated before, I don't think they can bring her back in her current form - who would enjoy a movie or TV show where one character can conquer every antagonist presented to them? It's the same reason why Superman has kryptonite. There would hardly ever be any drama without it.

The writing priorities these guys have is just stoooooopid! For example the most interesting part of the show… when the world finds out about Skrulls and start an all out war against eachother we get like 2 scenes… instead of the whole series being that. And the lead up to the next series events is just a line by Fury, ”That’s a real 1 term move, Mr. President.” Just with that they will think it’s acceptable to just SHOVE RedHulk in with no build up and everyone is just supposed to go with the flow.

[@Ialreadyhaveaname2]

I dunno, if they don't give her a weakness, G'iah is probably going away for a while. There is no point to her character. She can defeat anyone at anytime with no problems. Apparently even if another dude has the EXACT same abilities... or maybe she just used her Disney plot girl power to defeat Gravik? Either way there is no point to her character, she is Superman without the kryptonite weakness. They did the same thing to Captain Marvel, waited until the end of her movie to give her a power that is basically God Mode, then you don't see her do anything of significance until End Game (where she completely demolishes everything in her path, including Thanos until he uses an infinity stone against her, and even that is temporary). Then she disappears again, occasionally calling to check in. It took them 4 years to come up with a plot device that could even slow her down (switching places with other people in the galaxy at random). Hopefully they can come up with something good cause I like Emilia Clarke and would like to see her character develop a bit more.

[@slack__]

shes prob gonna go full on daenarys and mad with power. but only small parts of a large set of powers. so a teamup of more experienced characters can take her down. shes a jack of all, master of none - and will prob get the whole menu thrown at her while she just has the sample tasters xD

Good video even while on vacation. With Ritson being so publicly rash with that message (such a terrible scene and low point of the MCU), I think it's likely he's assassinated at the beginning of Cap 4 and Ross takes over. Ritson won't be voted out. He'll be taken out. I see it as foreshadowing

What I'd like to see is MCU screen adaptation of Sorcerer Supreme of the Galaxy. I think that even this ending sets up some ground for that, because in the comics Skrulls are said to kill humans on sight and this ending clearly starts a war between humans and Skrulls; plus we have machine to create super Skrulls, so we can have Doctor Strange fighting a Super Skrull... I just think it would be super cool to see Doctor Strange traveling through the galaxies and learning alien magic

[@jasonwells8745]

I think Fury is lying yet again and there is no talks with the Kree and is why he mentions his wife being a great diplomat. His plan is to take her to them and hope she figures something out with them. Also why did she say she couldn't leave and then follows Fury 2 seconds later.

I think the problem with marvel right now. Is that the balance of set up and pay off is so uneven. Phase 1 was about these different heroes and there story’s. And the tease was that hey all of these hero’s are going to team up. And they did. Now it’s about. Multiverses collapsing, the fallout of the snap, alien invasions, oh and there is a bad guy that has nothing and everything to do with the other things that are happening. His name kang the conqueror. I wouldn’t have a problem if it was one of these threads that they are following. But they are literally doing everything at the same time.

That final battle was awffffffffful. The CGI was atrocious. The series, overall, was a disappointment. The high points were, by far, Kingsley Ben-Adir and Olivia Colman.

Sam = cap idiology Rhodi ( skrull captive) last fight was siding with iron man in civil war = iron man ideology. = armor wars cap Sam Vs war machine. Over idea of peace and accepting aliens. 2. This hate of aliens will be the catalyst that will make human less accepting of myutants as a whole. Which will lead to the mutua y persecution and the rise of magneto. 3. The cree, skrull class will draw out the appearance of silver surfer. As he will deem the planet good for harvest. 4. Creation of the midnight suns will start forming with m-13 as a base for the team meeting. 5. Thanos wil be coming back.

It really seems the mcu has lost their way completely. What made these movies so beloved in the past is you had simple storylines and likable characters that were developed over a course of time. The good majority of these characters currently have no real relatable traits, and you have no need to care about their story because it will be irrelevant shortly anyway.
