Disney and Marvel Studios have been absolutely churning out content in the past few years with a ton of shows hitting their streaming service Disney+. Secret Invasion has come out after a deluge of other superhero shows and people seem to be… tired of this?
Secret Invasion definitely raises some questions. Like why didn’t the show play more with the mystery of who is a Skrull and who isn’t? Why doesn’t Nick Fury call the Avengers? If this fight is so personal, why doesn’t he actually fight it? How are all the powers in the final fight even being used?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Secret Invasion!

[@emilyhua7223]

could be coz -- unlike vast swaths of hollywood -- ryan is an accomplished writer who people actually enjoy and want to watch... so it felt an itty bitty bit strange that he included the line about not replacing writers with ai when it's trash like 'secret invasion' that they're writing! if disney rewrote the majority of its movies post-endgame with ai i guarantee it'd be an improvement.

[@Ralph_ralphster]

Even if there is a chance of it being slightly better with ai, it still puts many people out of work (even if not many of them were good writers) I think the problem is heart. Kevin said himself he doesn’t want to hire marvel comics fans. These new projects don’t have any love or heart. In fact a vast majority of these newer projects are only made to boost Disney plus and for money (mostly the shows) Ai would only take away more of that heart. Which is why projects like GOTG films and captain America films are amazing.

[@z-beeblebrox]

Imagine for a second that you're tasked with making a spy thriller for Marvel. And imagine that it will star Nick Fury, so you already have a strategic genius in the script. And imagine also that the villains of this spy thriller are shape shifting aliens, the hands-down easiest thing you can do to generate surprise twists in a spy thriller (so easy that literally every MI movie has relied on their impossible perfect face masks like a crutch). And now also ALSO imagine that this show will be named after an already well-received comic run that's basically done all the heavy lifting for you about twice, maybe even 3x over if you count the first Ultimates run. And NOW...imagine you fail to use ANY OF THAT effectively. That's Secret Invasion.

It will star Nick Fury > turned him into an old miserable man who lost his strategic mind The villains are shape shifting aliens > they revealed the identities of most of the Skrulls almost immediately I swear the writers intentionally sabotage the series because there's no way they managed to succeed at doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing

​@@SobiTheRobotthat's probably because She has brain problems ... It still was a shit idea

[@alexandregrand-pierre1981]

I can see why they did it, but it really doesn't sit right with me that we've had a character who was his right hand woman from the beginning of the MCU who we get to see briefly in almost every MCU project, but still has pretty little development. Yet despite this, she still became a fan favorite. Then when we finally get a chance to delve deeper into her character and her dynamic with Fury, she gets killed off in the first episode for shock value, funeral in the beginning of the 2nd episode where the only familiar face we get to see come pay respects is Fury despite plenty of former shield and Avengers members still being around, and then she's pretty much forgotten after that. Basically Agent Hill got fridged.

[@cutieovo9943]

@@alexandregrand-pierre1981Like it’s bizarre to me that somebody like Hawkeye, Spider-man, or even somebody like Thor or hulk didn’t make an appearance at that funeral. Hawkeye was an agent of shield with Hill, Spider-man worked for her in Far from home, and Thor and hulk are OG Avengers. The one that pisses me off is Spider-Man though. In the comics Spider-Man arguably goes through more loss and tragedy than any comic book character to date. If there is one superhero that I have 100000% confidence in that they’ll show up to that funeral, it’s Spider-Man. Not having him there feels wrong

The fact that they decided to adapt an event from the comics and immediately told the director "Don't read the comics, this has nothing to do with the comics" shows how passionless this marriage has become.

[@kayjacoby290]

To be fair, the passion on the Disney side was always for money; not the material.

[@kaltaron1284]

How could they even adapt the story from the comics when in the comics the Skrull are an intergalactic empire and in the MCU a refugee group on Earth. I know which one makes for a grander story.

[@nahor88]

The funny thing is I've seen A LOT of comments on social media saying they liked the show in response to the Rotten Tomatoes score aside from the finale. I thought it was OK overall, but felt WAY too small scale for such a huge storyline in the comics. Secret Invasion needed to be saved for the next Avengers level threat after Kang.

[@Pranaynaynay]

It's so funny that the first of post endgame MCU content, WandaVision, was so intent on keeping people guessing from week to week, not revealing too much about the plot. and NOW with the actual plot that requires secrecy and subversion and plot twists, they can't even be bothered

I will never understand how a company like Disney, with the vast resources at its disposal, access to some of the best actors on the planet, ridiculous amount of source material to choose from, decide to continually churn out hot garbage is beyond me.

[@abhikmoj5853]

You've managed to put words to my exact thoughts since 2020!

[@Doomzdeh]

It’s because they lack passion. They used to put passionate people on these projects and let them work out a project. Now, they’ve lined their forces with “reliable people” who know every cliche in the book. Disney no longer takes any chances at all and doesn’t think of what messages they want their products to send. Instead, they think up stereotypical plotlines, punchlines, generic fight sequences, diversity checklists, and how much money they will make. Take Puss in Boots: Last Wish as an example of a recent Dreamworks product that exceeded expectations. You can tell that it was made with passion, from the animation style to the movements of the characters to even their roles within the story. Each part of the movie seems to serve a purpose and character interactions serve to get the movie’s message across. Disney used to understand such things; now they just understand profit.

[@Bleg94]

@@scorpionlord9175 this also did you look up the demands? they include things like "for every project there need to be a certain amount of writers hired, no matter if they are needed or not" and if I understood that right they also basically want showrunners to be banned from the set so that the writers can make the fine-tuning in case the weather doesn't fit or whatever

Although, that makes me think; why did they not take over the President? Sure, it would not be easy, but Skrull-Rhodey could slowly but surely make sure all of the bodyguards get replaced by Skrulls, and then they basically have a free shot at the President. No need to do the big plot of starting world war 3, when they can litterally just replace someone high up and nuke the world like that.

[@PinataFreaks]

The weirdest part about this series is that it shows that the Kree, the villains of Captain Marvel, were kind of right about the Skrulls. Because in this series they do everything that the Kree (according to the movie wrongfully) accused them of.

[@anonanon6741]

Yes, and their behaving like that is unearned considering as Ryan said there was so many other options. They never explained the "we gave up after two years" or why a settlement was out of the question considering New Asguard's existence and that they like/have no probable with cold or freaking radiation. The US government have ever reason to kept them happy, considering how they contributed to national defense. Dumb. They also don't go into the history that kicked off the Skrull genocide. The Secret Invasion should have been a small terrorist group of Skrulls obsessed with their "proud history" as world conquerors or looking for blood retribution on the Kree home world. What they did made Nick and Carol look lazy/dishonest/stupid, almost all Skrulls at least passively evil, and the Kree 100% right. Oy.

Two things to point out: - The Skrulls apparently blame Nick Fury, the guy without powers and working with inferior Earth tech, for everything yet don't seem to blame Captain Marvel, the "Most Powerful Avenger" who can fly at lightspeed and left with them at the end of her movie to find them a home. - If Rhody has been a Skrull in disguise since before Endgame, then that Skrull would have already been to the perfect planet for them to inhabit: Thano's farm world.

[@BradleyThomas-oc8nm]

It's noted in the series how fury basically used the skrulls to gain intel and kill off targets and what not while knowing he apparently could not a find a home for them. So basically strung them along on a false promise and used them. The main evil skrull explained how every time he killed for fury a piece of him died. His human form was also the first person he killed. Explaining how this guy had a family and what not. Guilt and rage consumed him. It has to be noted aswell as fury was a victim of the snap he probably has no idea about thanos's farm world. Captain marvel on the other hand did, so no excuse there!

@@richmcgee434 youre right I hadnt considered this. This saves the show for me, phew

It's like Talos was the one who formed the Avengers as Nick Fury because Nick Definitely didn't care about his fallen Comrades.

Best thing about post-Endgame MCU are the pitch meetings. Thank you, Gyan Reorge!

[@tiredoffools8929]

@8tonystark8...I'd argue best thing post Infinity War. MCU has continued to get worse ever since. Endgame is massively overrated.

Just missing "Also, it would be too expensive to bring in the Avengers." "So what kind of budget are ya thinking of without them?" "About $212 million." "Wowowow. Wow."

[@nesatzuke]

You nailed it precisely as usual. Great job!

[@LuisFigo4]

I rarely watch any of these shows or movies anymore, just wait for pitch meeting

[@dont-touch-mepg1392]

Lol same. Same.

[@mikeontheisland]

DITTO!

[@TornAaPaRt]

Hey same here 😅 sometimes I look more forward to the pitch meeting than the actual show/movie lol

[@extantsanity]

Same.

[@mattc9598]

i think most people stopping watching the MCU after the MCU ended... with Endgame... but Disney saw $$$ and decided to continue the MCU despite almost every important character retiring
