Secret Invasion, But The Good Version - Full Story

[@benpicado4138]

The Skrulls did not deserve the show, like a side story type of thing. I was expecting Marvel to, like how they did with Thanos, hint at existing characterS (MAJOR characters) being skulls. And introduce them in small open ended scenes like they did at the end of WandaVision and Spider-Man FFH, but again with MAJOR characters and having them be evil. Once I saw they were made into a Disney+ show, I knew they weren’t going to take them as seriously, but I feel like they should’ve. I honestly would’ve preferred the Skrulls to be the next Thanos equivalent big bad instead of Kang and leave Kang a little later down the line

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

Honestly, Ultron should have come after Thanos. They blew Ultron too quickly because they wanted that first Avengers sequel money. It would have also neatly recontextualised the birth of Vision, and the current MCU showed really well that Vision is perfectly capable of being a compelling character far removed from Ultron inherently.

[@allisterblossfeld9329]

@@Nikelaos_Khristianos I think Ultron as the sequel was fine, because he can always come back. But the way he was handled was pretty bad. There was no consistency with his writing. Ultron could have a much more menacing threat. One that you can never really get rid of, kind of like what they're trying to with Kang. The MCU is a much softer and easier approach to general audiences than the comics, so you're never going to get as compelling of a character compared to the comics.

[@danielland3767]

@@allisterblossfeld9329 this part people forget the title was "Age of Ultron". An Age can be a very long period of time, such as "The Broze Age", The Stone Age", etc people just want Infinity Saga again that anything it's not is bad

[@tripplesouth]

​@@animelvr99the most hilarious thing I saw on Avengers assemble, was Red skull having an invincible giant robot decimating all the avengers. So Cap A and Bucky infiltrates the robot and confronts Red skull in the control room. Red skull didn't like that, so he magnetises them to the wall of the control room and continues to beat the shit out of the other avengers. Bucky gets angry and says "NO" slams his arm against the wall, breaking it and pulls some wires. And then the robot collapses like a house of cards with explosions. Red skulls invincible robot, got destroyed from Bucky ripping some wires in the wall he was stuck to, by Red skull himself. That was some of the most hilarious cascade of stupidity I've ever laughed at. Edit: aw crap, I just found out this was from EMH S2 E21, not Assemble.

This comic made Skrulls so much more of a threat than the MCU ever did.

The show tried make up for the absence of the Avengers, the X-Men, X-Force and X-Factor by making “Super Skrulls” with Groot dna, Ice Monster dna and Extremis (Iron Man 3). While I wish they made the show just like the comics, it’s just impossible for Hollywood to duplicate what the comics have made.

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

For the record, y'all can't expect everything from the comics to be adapted. And, even if it was adapted, don't expect the same story. Captain America: Civil War is nothing like the comic book, and that's fine. Hell, it's my all-time favorite MCU movie. Even though I'm aware of the loose adaptation for the Disney Plus series, I'm personally enjoying it. Plus, who's to say that comic book Secret Invasion doesn't happen down the line? Unfortunately, the problem with you "fans" is y'all can't seem to have patience for future MCU stories or moments to pay off. You don't want to wait and see, and that's sad. Right now, currently, Rhodey is a Skrull. Best believe there will be a ripple effect as the MCU continues, and we'll hopefully get more shocking Skrull reveals. Again, be patient.

[@UnlimitedIvory]

Barely anything from the comics has been adapted within the MCU since phase 3. You could actively see where they drew inspiration from, they didn't have to be a one for one because for the most part it wasn't they did a lot of things differently. But this new phases have no similarities to charthers or stories and only takes the name and they made almost the same amount of content phase 1 through 3 has nullfying peoples fate. It became so bad that after moives they make a comic book version of the event in the mainline of comics when it should be the opposite.

[@ericrobins5188]

Is it the good version? I'm not defending the Disney Plus show. But the whole purpose of secret invasion at the time was to bury the lead on a lot of dumb story plots. There was a lot going on. The avengers were broken up. Tony Stark was acting drastically out of character. Hawkeye was dead then brought back to life with no direction. Thor was dead but was brought back to life and nobody knew. Captain America was dead but was in limbo. None of this made sense. The art was terrible It opened the door to a few things. But the one thing that it should have done was reveal Tony Stark was a Skrull but instead they made a joke about it the whole time. The cover art was good though.

[@connorharnage6697]

First: The show has indeed little to do with this comic-story, besides Skrulls and the title, but... Second: Keep watching, there are a couple of unexpected reveals in both episode 3 & 4. And...

This was fantastic! As always Comicstorian does a great job with these videos!... OF COURSE the comic version is way better than the TV show... But with that being said I actually enjoyed the show for what it was. I'm not saying everything they drop is great (because there sure are stinkers in the MCU) but I personally enjoy Nick Fury/SHIELD centered content (i.e. Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, etc). I'm drawn to the espionage, political/intrigue-esque themes. I think what avid comic readers need to understand is that Marvel/Disney is going to use iconic titles to draw people in, but you have to learn to lower your expectations and realize that nothing they release will EVER be source material accurate. Civil War was great but it was nothing like the comic story, same with Age of Ultron, Infinity War was not nearly as epic as the source, etc. Take it as a completely different universe and a different way for the mainstream audience to consume comic related content. For them to produce an accurate Secret Invasion program they would first have to spend YEARS introducing and establishing all of the characters in this and hope that people would follow it all to understand who Starks, Reed, Wolverine, Spider-man, SpiderWoman, Fury, Mar-Vel, No-Varr, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Pym, Hawkeye, Ronin, Black Widow, Jarvis, Galactus, Watcher, Sue Storm, Bishop, Changling, Patriot, Thor, etc etc etc are, and that's A LOT just to lay the foundation for something this epic! You don't have to like it all but just try to lower your expectations when it comes to comic movies/shows. They're never gonna get it exactly right, but sometimes it's a banger even if it's wrong!

Disney could never put out a movie this good. So many movies would be great if they just honored the source material.

[@EdertheJust]

The writers for the TV show just saw the title and didnt even read the comic book.

who drew this? Looks like the Superman: Birthright style. Love that artwork edit: After googling it's Leinil Francis Yu, the same artist that illustrated Superman: Birthright. I knew it. The way he draws his eyes and pupils is so capturing to me. Clark's pupils in Birthright... I don't know how to explain but as an illustrator myself it's a thing of beauty.

Secret invasion on Disney plus is the legit version of Kid: * mom I want secret invasion * Mom: * we have secret invasion at home * Secret invasion at home: 💩

Thank you so much for doing this

I mean... I think the comics will always be better than the shows/movies until, and I doubt this will ever happen, the shows/movie directly correlate with the comics. I think people like to believe that the shows/movies are better simply because they're live action or animated. If you look at them strictly for the story, comics prevail.

These costumes is crazy man like racks a big ole 🤣

I feel to be fair with the TV show they have limited resources on how much money they can have for their actors for a limited series show, unlike comic books that have unlimited budget and can do whatever story you really want to see. Maybe would've been better secret invasion was never made as a show and just a Part 1 Movie to Secret Wars (which it kinda is)

[@itsrachelsummers]

Thank you so much for this!!!

Comic is MILES above the TV show.

[@nyekomimi]

I never expected to see Cartman in Marvel comic

[@anthonys8400]

Wakanda was dope during secret invasion. Should do a 1 off of that.

[@katarn101]

Wait so when Maria Hills gets shot I the comic she was actually an LMD? That would be an interesting twist for the MCU version but I don't think they're gonna do it.

[@justinrodriguez5957]

And then T-rex! Jesus that was amazing. 😂

[@Jyoelmejor]

Thank you for doing this, the tv show has been so horrific, it's been giving me depression watching it. Disney needs it's Marvel license revoked asap!

[@Kirasfox]

Quite dramatic, the MCU is its own separate thing. won't be the exact replica of the comics

[@Kirasfox]

@@greatblah1202 they're fine, something was said phase 1 and 2 but eventually y'all suddenly liked it again.

[@creeorth2505]

@@Kirasfox Right its so funny to see all these people saying the MCU is awful now. Sure there are some misses but they just completely ignore all the awesome things that have been done.

[@GallowsBound1]

I think they struggled with the idea of making the TV show anything like the comics. First of all it would have needed to be a movie, and second it would have taken away from a lot of the major moments in the movies. The comics can say that a superhero has been a scroll for a decade and it's not a big deal because there are still decades upon Decades of that Superhero proving themselves to the reader. If you say that the Avengers in the MCU have been Scrolls for 10 to 20 years, that's literally going into their origins. And even if they didn't go back that far and they just said they've been Scrolls for a few years, that would still cut into a lot of the major heroic moments that they had in the movies and take away from the characters and their development

8:37 No worries, Mr. Fantastic gets better.

[@317cmrogers]

The show is what I had expected it to be from the trailers🤷‍♂️ just loke Civil War was on a much smaller scale than the comics, I never assumed the series would be anywhere near the scale of what they did here(no MCU Osborne, Spiderwoman, Tony & Cap are gone, etc) The Infinity War story was also very different and I'm assuming Secret Wars will be too..
