I feel like this should’ve came out years ago tbh because to me Fury doesn’t have that badass aura he use to have especially after losing his eye to a damn cat
I really dunno why EVERYTHING has to be a joke or a subversion of expecation in the MCU. They they have to poke fun at everything. Even the disappearance of half the population had it be called “The Blip” and brought up in a high school announcement video in Spider-Man … are they for real
And the third episode of this pretty much killed his cool factor by having it so he didn't work his way up the ranks of SHIELD but had the way cleared for him by Talos' group of skrulls.
In the comics he takes a hit for the team he was leading in a battle and gets injured to save his teams lives, in the MCU he fucking loses his eye to a god dam fucking Cat.
I know it’s kind of impressive in a way But honestly that’s Disney at this point right… somehow managing to burn money despite the massive properties that they have access to!
Secret Invasion should have a massive impact on the MCU but it just feels like a self contained series that will resolve itself by the end. Especially as we seen Fury looking more like his oldself in the Marvels trailer.
right the skrulls could've been its own saga in the mcu and for it to not get the budget of a movie is rude asf. A compromise they shoulda done s the wandavision drstrange throughline thing. Set up the building blocks in the tv show and make a finale in a big budget movie or two.
Yeah it honestly lowers the stakes for the secret invasion. They even have a line that kinda confirms it. Rhodes asks if they should get their friends and fury is like no they will find theme selves fighting among themselves and find themselves a terrorist. It’s kinda dumb imo. Even if it’s an okay spy show, in this universe it doesn’t have that much weight.
honestly, none of the TV shows captures any of the epicness of the comics. the TV Series were just horrible in my opinion. they are just slightly better in terms of soap operas production wise, but story wise, they are terrible.
@@ShadowSonic2 ah yes the show about a group of aliens who wabt to cause the us to attack russia by blowing up dirty bombs (when they already know its not russia and their way of handwaving is kreemachine saying the president wont know i wont tell him .... why not... just have a kree president?) . but we cant find them because they are in a nuclear power facility that no one knows about that still has fissible material. brilliant. either everyone in the mcu had a full frontal lobotomy or the plot contrivances are now writing the plot.
@@Senorbenignhillarity It's smarter than most of Phases 1 and 2's plots. Just because the Skrulls are immune to radiation doesn't mean the first thought would be "they must be hiding in an abandoned Russian Nuclear Site!". Why not have a Kree President? Because that would be too obvious, instead make it others below him blocking information.
@@ShadowSonic2 obvious to who lol..... they literally say "they are hiding in a nuclear facility" "we dont know where it is" and then the next sentence is " do they have fissible material". ya reall bang up writing yall.
You know you’ve hit rock bottom when you have Sam Jackson being the main character and not only do I have no feeling to watch it; I didn’t even realize it came out until a couple days ago.
It’s not bad though in my opinion🤷♂️compared to the rest of the mcu shows this might end up being one of the best ones. The villain is pretty good as well
I'd say it's because as far as the MCU Disney is seeing the writing on the wall and know that they have gotten all they were going to get profit wise and are now just doing the projects they have obligations to do or have spent to much money on so they have to put out
@@addex1236I’d have to disagree with that man… let’s be real, there is ALWAYS more money to be made. Whether it’s subscriptions, toys, other merch, tickets to Disney land, movie tickets whatever.. there is always more money. And Disneys number 1 goal is to increase shareholder wealth. So they are legally obligated to try to generate as much revenue on the lowest amount of spending haha. Disney is one of the most money thirsty companies on this earth, and tbh they are good at making money. It’s a different monster than what Walt had in mind I think but yea I definitely disagree that there isn’t more money to be made
@@Flowerz__ dude how many people do work with are still watching the MCU hell how did Gurdians 3 do in the box office or for the that matter any from last year the cold realitiy the general movie going public stoped caring about the MCU and while yes there I always new things MCU adjacent that Disney is trying to sell it doesn't mean people are buying them like hell were was the marketing push for this hell I didn't know it was out until it came out and thats not uncommon yah the MCU is dead man
@@addex1236 guardians 3 did basically the same about guardians 2 did and is the 2nd highest grossing movie of the year. I do agree that things have honestly slowed down but I believe that’s because ppl are struggling right now. Put groceries in the fridge or go to the movies?? Even did 3 did just as good as 2. Making 5-600 million on a movie is damn good and j belive Disney or any company will take that all day long. The marketing for secret invasion wasn’t INSANE. But it’s a tv show not a blockbuster movie. There was marketing and me and my gf knew it was coming out. IRL there does appear to not be much hype about it. I’m not totally tapped in with all social circles tik tok to know for sure tho. Maybe you’re right and Disney sees something where it’s not worth it idk.. I just don’t think the reasoning is “there’s no more money to be mad” a show obviously has a smaller budget all around including marketing. One reason there may be less marketing could be the fact that Disney marvel is already huge, honestly it practically sells itself. Id say guardians 3 didn’t feel like it had a ridiculous push and tht movie still did what I think would be considered very good in a shitty economy. Last thing I’ll say is the MCU has been dry. Thor sucked, antman was OKAY. Black panther was ok. Doctor strange was good but didn’t live up to the hype. Last great movies were no way home and Shang chi IMO. So I think marvel fans are a bit tired but that means there’s actually a HUGE amount of money to be made to pull those fans back in.
@@addex1236 and actually I think I made a great point there. The best selling marvel movie ever did almost 3 billion I think with end game. So if movies are doing 600-800 million so to me… there seems like a ton of money to be mad and they should be striving to get back to that cultural phenomenon level. Unless they are just conceding defeat but again with Disney I highly fking doubt tht lol.
@@JackEverton101pretty the opposite. You have to turn your brain on to enjoy this. You prob called andor boring as well. So many need brainless explosions now days smh
I love any comic adaptation written by people who have never read the original comic and openly dislike the fans of those stories and characters. Fantastic stuff👍👍
@therotten6152 Disney doesn't hate fans. Disney simply knows that a franchise that isn't willing to stab fans in the eyes is not a good franchise to have.
Realistically, it wouldn’t really work with the heroes unless they were replaced IN that movie’s timeframe. Shapeshifters pose a problem for the MCU since there aren’t decades of comics beforehand that can make it a pretty clear cut to insert a copycat into the story. You couldn’t make any significant hero a skrull aside from maybe War Machine or Hawkeye (but Hawkeye would have to not have been replaced for very long). The Guardians aren’t on Earth, Doctor Strange is too mystical, Hulk could maybe be a skrull.
@@superjlk_9538 I don't see how it couldn't work the MCU has been going on since like 2008 and has dozens of heroes who jump all over the place. Like you could easily have Thor or Captain Marvel replaced since they go off planet most of the time anyway.
@@Sol-Butkis Directed, yeah, but they weren't the writers. Listening to some of the interviews, it doesn't really sound like they understand the finer details.
There is a serious lack of paranoia in this show so far. They have the perfect way to do that but it’s just taking so long to get there. Agents of shield did this exact storyline in season 4 and it was absolutely amazing, anyone that hasn’t watched that show should 100% give it a chance and check it out.
@bobross8585 Captain Marvel was a middling movie with a rabid aggressive group of people attacking anyone who didn't like it (as is evidenced in the replies in this thread). So this show being heavily marketed as tied into that movie hurt a lot of interest
Part of me feels like this storyline could have been an avengers movie on its own, like its implications are way too important to not involve them. Doesnt feel believable that Fury is the one to take all Skrulls down
I love you AJ, but "okay Alex tell us what happened", Alex starts- and AJ be like "OKAY SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS" lol :P I really do love all of you guys, I just feel so bad for Alex for always being interrupted in any and all clips we see you together in. And you do always say "I see you guys mentioning me interrupting him constantly, and okay I'm gonna let him finish from now on", then you do for like one episode and it's instantly back to good old interruptions again :P
@@orochinagisIn case you don't know, but Angryjoe is taking more than one beer before these reviews. There is no way he is sober on this review. If He is sober, he has ADHD and he cannot Concentrate into anything over 5 seconds.
Im only watching this due to my love for the Secret Invasion story from the comics. As a casual marvel fan, im cool with the show. Sure alot of misses but its not swerving off the road and crashing. Ben Mendelson is hardcore carrying this show as of now lmao
@zoso1up905 its different, BUT not like a 100% difference, more like they changed some things. For example, in the OG story, a lot of the heroes were skurlls, but in the show....as of now, no skrull Avengers to be seen. Hopefully that changes though because id at least like to see that call back or tip of the hat. Also alot of the lines/actions dont make sense or is out of character as AJ had mentioned
@@a_waff1es_0pinion76 honestly that wouldve been best, and just fit in the other marvel shit as the story progresses, but gotta take what we can get lmao
Gravick healing is because he has extremis. A lot of the old villain tech makes a mention on a screen next to a photo of the doctor in the lab during episode 2 I believe.
Ben Mendelsohn is giving a 10 / 10 performance on some 6.6 / 10 material. If you like him, watch that show "the Outsider" its one season and done, with a satisfying (albeit nhilistic) ending, Ben is outstanding in it and the show drips with dread.
I feel like shows or series should not continue the major storyline. That should be kept for the movies and the series and shows can be kept for explaining and expanding details between the movies when the heroes are on their downtime and have their own personal stories and adventures.
Exactly this, man. The big movies should be events, that continue the story. But give the characters the time they need to make you love them, use small stories and crossovers for that, stuff that keeps you interested, without making you feel that if you miss an episode or season, there's no point in even showing up for anything afterwards anymore.
@@MioRaem the guardians christmas special was a perfect representation of what disney+ should be. It makes you love the characters more without adding much to the story
Yeah definitely half of the fan base isn’t gonna get Disney + and not everyone likes tv shows idk why they decided to put this in a tv show with no advertising
The question is, are they going to make it worth it to tear down an awesome character like Nick Fury? Because that's what this show has been doing (it started in Captain Marvel). It's become a bad trope. I have my doubts.
I agree, first 3 episodes I was like damn this isn’t the same fury but they talk about that in the writing. They say he wasn’t the same since the blip. But at the end of the 3rd episode you’re kind of like ok old fury is back a little bit and he’s gotta stop this nuclear war. I think Rhodey is a skrull and fury will die at the end
Should've made it a movie. The TV series of MCU is really killing MCU, but I get it - they want the monthly subscription for Disney+ to succeed. But in doing so, they're pumping out mediocre projects that frankly speaking doesn't entice people to resub.
They look mediocre and they feel mediocre. Only the Loki show had semi-impressive visuals. Falcon and Winter Soldier was decent looking too. I wasn’t bored by that show but mildly disappointed at the lost opportunities.
Once again, I agree with Alex's assessment. For all the good (high production value, well-shot, great acting from Mendelson), there's also bad (awkward acting, awkward editing, cheap sets and visual effects). The rumors out there suggest that the series underwent major rewrites/reshoots, so it's possible that's why acting, editing and overall production value seem mixed.
I don't think anything can top avengers earths mightiest heroes as a show that adapts the secret invasion storyline. Avengers EMH will always be my favourite animation series just for how they handled many of their characters.
Sam Jackson is 74 years old. He should have been playing old man Fury 20 years ago. I dropped the show on the second episode because I was just bored. The action was boring, the dialogue was boring and preachy at times. The cast seems tired delivering their lines. The material is just not good.
Hold up, wait a minute, at the end of captain Marvel, she flew the ship with the skrolls off, away from earth, to go find them a new planet, she did that in the 90’s remember? Did marvel forget? How is that Nic Furys Fault?
42:05 I think what you guys missed there is that it wasn't just A mans voice, that was straight up rhodey speaking on the phone to her about gravick....
Yes I love when one of the most iconic marvel storylines gets turned into a muddied ass boring modern racial message where they discuss the merit of the term “spook” as an appropriate moniker for spies because it might also be something mean said about black people.
Honestly it's a meh out of 10 for now. I don't like the disrespect that they doing to Nick Fury. Too much retconning and reimagining of the comics for me because so many characters that are in the comics aren't in the show. It just seems like another Disney plus watered down version of a really good story from the comics. 😢😢😢
For myself, Marvel has lost that magic and I have lost interest in the franchise. The magic, for me, ended with END GAME. Anything after that the interest isn’t there anymore for me. Glad you guys are still supporting and enjoying the subject matter.
This show has just felt boring to me. There are some things that are okay, but in terms of pacing, it feels like it's going at such a slow rate. It really doesn't help that I'm having trouble connecting with some of the Skrulls that they try to paint as sympathetic, and it makes it even worse with the fact that some of the older and established characters have been kinda beaten down or killed. It's just disappointing that the story feels dull, because this show did feel like it had potential to be better.
I'm 3 episodes in and my verdict is...meh. I'm getting real tired of having to say that about most Marvel shows/movies now, but it's true. GOTG Vol.3 thus far has been the only P5 outing to break that mold. This show is just...meh. It's not awful, but it's certainly not good.
I wanted winter soldier with skrulls. I mean you have Sam Jackson doing A TV SHOW. That by itself should be cause to set up your game. I felt like nothing happened from beginning to end. It’s a self contained story with no implications to everything else. What if, hear me out, they brought in Shang chi? He doesn’t have a movie for awhile bring him in after Mariah dies as his muscle. Since he has the rings his powers can’t be replicated and his rings make him not so easy to overpower. Idk wild idea but anything would’ve been better than this.
Gravik got a Extremis upgrade (from Iron Man 3). Skrulls are mentally linked with the subject they impersonate, maybe thats the reason that the submarine commander in the house couldn't let anything happen to the son of the takenover subject. A logical parental response, just technically speaking not by the skrull, but by the human and those emotions can sometimes overtake the Skrull handling.
I miss when the MCU were well written and directed movies that always felt like the next step and event towards something massive, now its just disney plus shows and half assed mcu projects that tor the most part haven't amounted to anything super significant compared to the first 3 phases of the mcu
I've seen the first 3 episodes It's boringly average and worst of all Nick Fury talks non stop about racism. It doesn't feel like Nick Fury at all. "Mama and I road in the black car of the train" "I'm black so I know how you feel green alien" "We're both black so have my back bruhtuh" - Nick Fury.
Oh yeah this is definitely something that people should spend their time and energy watching…. A crappy knock off of a superhero film that preaches at you
The son is Not a Skrull. The longer they copy a person the closer they become to them. Hence the reason all the memories when she got the code had the boy involved.

I was planning to watch this, but then Samuel L Jackson had to open his mouth and just insult a sizable portion of the fanbase by calling them incels just because they don't like Brie Larson.
Why do you give a crap about what an actor says? I could care less about what they say or do I just watch the movie/show and judge that. Stop being soft lad
The MCU is different from the Comics universe, this has been stated MANY times over the years so people need to calm down with this “🤓 It’s not accurate to the comics 🤓” stuff. Across the spider verse confirms this 10 fold. The show is good…. So far and people seem to be hating just to hate, stop nitpicking and try to enjoy things for a change. It is a very nice change of pace from the recent crap Marvel has put out.
Secret invasion should have been the plot line for phase 4 instead of multiverse. It being a self contained series seems too small scale for how cool of a story it is in the comics.
Thats exactly what I thought, but I feel like Gravik is being set up as a pretty evil guy (hopefully). I just hope they can actually follow through with his cruelty all the way till the end. Still sucks that he is just a made up character for this show though.
Let's not forget those launch keys were a foot apart. Isn't the whole idea to have two people turn the keys. Unfortunately, those keys were so close together that it only takes one guy to turn both keys.
Eeee I can't believe anyone is saying ANYTHING positive about the intro for Secret Invasion let alone Angry Joe. I don't know if he knows they're AI generated, I'm gonna assume he doesn't know.
I loved the dialogue between talos and fury on the train.talos telling nick that theres a million of his ppl here but what did you expect him to do? He blipped for 5yrs then even when he came back he couldn't even talk to him about anything then fury chooses to leave this time and doesnt help the skrulls. Fury saying you cant have a million skrulls acting like humans.thinking they can share earth when not even humans can get along with each other much less any other species. Also dont think you guys realized but when furys wife wanted to talk to gravik that was actually rhodey on the phone meaning rhodey is a skrull.
For a series that is supposed to be as earth shaking as Secret Invasion. It feels like 6 episodes on Disney Plus doesn't do it any justice. Because it signals to the fans that the higher-ups don't believe its important and the investment isn't there. It's a good show, but it is definitely hurt by the budget constraints of needing to be a show instead of a huge event movie/saga of movies.
they made the skrull sympathetic , then ,ade the the villain, then try to make humans the bad guy. you come into my house kidnal y daughter then pretend to be her then you mad at me for not letting you stay in my house.....the show plot basically
Man, the lack of energy of Joe in this review feels like they are being held at gunpoint by someone behind the camera to praise and talk about the show. Haha
funny how the cartoon of earth´s mightiest heroes ACTUALLY captured how scary skrulls were introduced while the mcu version try so hard to be "victims" and they are just a bunch of terrorists just like the flag smashers
This is the most okay thing ive seen in a while. Feels about on par with Falcon and Winter Soldier. Not bad. Not great. Just okay. Probably going to be forgettable. I doubt its going to get amazing, but maybe im wrong.
@therotten6152 I definitely agree with the karli being a terrorist and sam not getting a loan part. Racist cop scene was fine since i can totally see that happening IRL, classism speech was whatever, didn't need to be in the show, but didn't irritate me as much as it seems it did you. the one "social nonsense" thing i did like was jaded old black super soldier.
@therotten6152 "it's probably the best thing Marvel has released in 5 years, it's still only a 4/10." I hope you're just talking about the shows cause this implies you think Guardians 3, No way home, and Shang-Chi are less than 4/10s
@therotten6152 I’ve lived in basically every big city in Texas at one point. The Galveston Houston area, the Dallas Fort Worth area, San Antonio, Central TX area. Good luck avoiding them all.
They wrote Fury too soft. Whatever he was dealing with it didn’t dull him that much. He’s mentally a Batman yet he’s getting stumped and beat out on all these interactions with a bunch of factions. I don’t buy it.
I’ve already made 2 videos on the show, one for the first episode and another after watching the third episode detailing half the series. In essence the show is boring, poorly adapts the source material and makes our heroes feel incompetent and borderline useless in the grand scheme of things. The main villains argument is sound however how it is set up due to fury’s failure and Captain marvels failure doesn’t give me much hope for either character in the mcu. Much of what the show expands upon us how integral the skrulls have involved themselves with humanity not even to take over at first but to just live. Skrulls are even in charge of important government positions around the world which fury knew about and if not makes him even more incompetent. The fact they added that the skrulls are the reason he climbed the ladder at shield kills the super secret agent character for fury a bit. Which was a massive part of his character. This show is really struggling to even be entertaining and for spy drama type show and my hat just kills it for me.
Oh you knew about the source material… I’m so sorry for your pain! You probably really enjoyed the part where the aliens with shape shifting powers with access to infinite number of worlds and who are already comfortably living on a planet with other people decided to randomly commit genocide…
@@JackEverton101 in the mcu they aren’t conquerors that was a decision made by the directors. In the context of the mcu skrulls they aren’t a bad species. However due to the inaction of fury and Carol they have decided to take over earth. Doing exactly what the kree who told a very convenient lie that they will conquer planets by slowly taking it over with its own people and it so happens to be the plan here in secret invasion. Love your sarcasm tho.
@@JackEverton101 now you see my point of view lol it is pretty painful man. If it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it. Will make a full review when the series ends. Being a fan of comics hurts bro because these stories that are popular for a reason there story telling makes them amazing. Even recent comic stories are hit or miss. The quality of story telling is dropping, and it’s clearly seen here in secret invasions!
@@SinnerMann I consider myself incredibly lucky, thanks to an amazing relative when I was just a wee lad (end of high school over a decade ago) I was exposed to anime and nowadays thanks to the terrible decision making going on in the comic book industry and piss poor effort/decision making from Hollywood…. in several of the stores that I go to the anime/manga Selection is 2 to 3 Times the size of the comic book section… and i live in America! I just don’t get why they can’t figure this out… they used to be printing money and now Disney alone has lost billions of dollars with a B!
One thing I love about this show. It feels like it's written by adults something Marvel's been missing for a long time. They need more movies and shows like this that take themselves seriously.
I am so uninterested in the MCU. Use to be a big fan. Only recently i only love Guardians of the Galaxy 3. But all their shows don't even compare to season 3 of the Boys 😅
Excluding the Netflix shows, the only thing I still find really worthwhile is Agent of Shield. Good thing it ended with an spectacular ending instead of dying like the MCU did.
Trying to start a war with the US and Russia….wow so original. I’ve never heard/seen that concept done in any body of work. Blew my mind. And in a completely different subject why is the audio for this channel getting lower and lower with every new video.
Yeah, they need a hero, vigilante, or super soldier to do some hand to hand combat with the Super Skrulls in this show so we can atleast have some action scenes in the show smh. U.S. Agent would've work well here too. Nick Fury and Talos are looking to old and frail to get down and dirty lol.
I think it's good, more engaging than most Marvel TV. A terrorist actually succeeded with his terrorist act. This series has a harder edge on it, characters are dying. It at least has stakes, which is always lacking in Marvel TV. This is certainly way better than Falcon and Winter Soldier. People want old Fury to act like young Fury. Fury and Talos are past their prime -- that's the point. If you de-aged them, people would complain. If you tried new characters, people would complain. This is definitely above average.
Secret Invasion has some annoyances so far, such as people whining over Maria Hill’s “death” when I’m sure she’ll come back somehow and Marvel having a good show in a while imo, but it’s incredibly interesting so far.
I feel like this should’ve came out years ago tbh because to me Fury doesn’t have that badass aura he use to have especially after losing his eye to a damn cat

And the third episode of this pretty much killed his cool factor by having it so he didn't work his way up the ranks of SHIELD but had the way cleared for him by Talos' group of skrulls.
So pussy does change everything
They CHANGED his eye scar too since Captain Marvel came out and it bothers me SOOO MUCH because his eye is out for 90% of this show.
In the comics he takes a hit for the team he was leading in a battle and gets injured to save his teams lives, in the MCU he fucking loses his eye to a god dam fucking Cat.
They did the impossible, they made a spy thriller about shapeshifting aliens vs superheroes utterly boring.

Whether it’s subscriptions, toys, other merch, tickets to Disney land, movie tickets whatever.. there is always more money. And Disneys number 1 goal is to increase shareholder wealth. So they are legally obligated to try to generate as much revenue on the lowest amount of spending haha. Disney is one of the most money thirsty companies on this earth, and tbh they are good at making money. It’s a different monster than what Walt had in mind I think but yea I definitely disagree that there isn’t more money to be made
@@Flowerz__ dude how many people do work with are still watching the MCU hell how did Gurdians 3 do in the box office or for the that matter any from last year the cold realitiy the general movie going public stoped caring about the MCU and while yes there I always new things MCU adjacent that Disney is trying to sell it doesn't mean people are buying them like hell were was the marketing push for this hell I didn't know it was out until it came out and thats not uncommon yah the MCU is dead man
@@addex1236 guardians 3 did basically the same about guardians 2 did and is the 2nd highest grossing movie of the year. I do agree that things have honestly slowed down but I believe that’s because ppl are struggling right now. Put groceries in the fridge or go to the movies?? Even did 3 did just as good as 2. Making 5-600 million on a movie is damn good and j belive Disney or any company will take that all day long. The marketing for secret invasion wasn’t INSANE. But it’s a tv show not a blockbuster movie. There was marketing and me and my gf knew it was coming out. IRL there does appear to not be much hype about it. I’m not totally tapped in with all social circles tik tok to know for sure tho. Maybe you’re right and Disney sees something where it’s not worth it idk.. I just don’t think the reasoning is “there’s no more money to be mad” a show obviously has a smaller budget all around including marketing. One reason there may be less marketing could be the fact that Disney marvel is already huge, honestly it practically sells itself. Id say guardians 3 didn’t feel like it had a ridiculous push and tht movie still did what I think would be considered very good in a shitty economy. Last thing I’ll say is the MCU has been dry. Thor sucked, antman was OKAY. Black panther was ok. Doctor strange was good but didn’t live up to the hype. Last great movies were no way home and Shang chi IMO. So I think marvel fans are a bit tired but that means there’s actually a HUGE amount of money to be made to pull those fans back in.
@@addex1236 and actually I think I made a great point there. The best selling marvel movie ever did almost 3 billion I think with end game. So if movies are doing 600-800 million so to me… there seems like a ton of money to be mad and they should be striving to get back to that cultural phenomenon level. Unless they are just conceding defeat but again with Disney I highly fking doubt tht lol.

I wish that secret invasion was what phase 4,5 and 6 had built itself around instead of this miniseries because that would have done it justice
Realistically, it wouldn’t really work with the heroes unless they were replaced IN that movie’s timeframe. Shapeshifters pose a problem for the MCU since there aren’t decades of comics beforehand that can make it a pretty clear cut to insert a copycat into the story. You couldn’t make any significant hero a skrull aside from maybe War Machine or Hawkeye (but Hawkeye would have to not have been replaced for very long). The Guardians aren’t on Earth, Doctor Strange is too mystical, Hulk could maybe be a skrull.
I kinda wish they did not turn Skrulls into sympathetic characters in the Captain Marvel movie.
@@superjlk_9538 I don't see how it couldn't work the MCU has been going on since like 2008 and has dozens of heroes who jump all over the place. Like you could easily have Thor or Captain Marvel replaced since they go off planet most of the time anyway.

For example, in the OG story, a lot of the heroes were skurlls, but in the show....as of now, no skrull Avengers to be seen. Hopefully that changes though because id at least like to see that call back or tip of the hat.

Gravick healing is because he has extremis. A lot of the old villain tech makes a mention on a screen next to a photo of the doctor in the lab during episode 2 I believe.
Ben Mendelsohn is giving a 10 / 10 performance on some 6.6 / 10 material. If you like him, watch that show "the Outsider" its one season and done, with a satisfying (albeit nhilistic) ending, Ben is outstanding in it and the show drips with dread.

I like him so much
yeah outsider was a solid watch
He’s really good in bloodline also

I feel like shows or series should not continue the major storyline. That should be kept for the movies and the series and shows can be kept for explaining and expanding details between the movies when the heroes are on their downtime and have their own personal stories and adventures.
Exactly this, man. The big movies should be events, that continue the story.
But give the characters the time they need to make you love them, use small stories and crossovers for that, stuff that keeps you interested, without making you feel that if you miss an episode or season, there's no point in even showing up for anything afterwards anymore.
@@MioRaem the guardians christmas special was a perfect representation of what disney+ should be. It makes you love the characters more without adding much to the story

Leonardo Dicaprio is a legend for not filming superhero crap movies

Nah, he's pretty predictable.
The question is, are they going to make it worth it to tear down an awesome character like Nick Fury? Because that's what this show has been doing (it started in Captain Marvel). It's become a bad trope. I have my doubts.
I agree, first 3 episodes I was like damn this isn’t the same fury but they talk about that in the writing. They say he wasn’t the same since the blip. But at the end of the 3rd episode you’re kind of like ok old fury is back a little bit and he’s gotta stop this nuclear war. I think Rhodey is a skrull and fury will die at the end
You mean, they made Fury human instead of the flat archetype he was before?
@@Flowerz__ hes in the ms marvel trailer that happens after this show. soooooo... prolly not
Should've made it a movie. The TV series of MCU is really killing MCU, but I get it - they want the monthly subscription for Disney+ to succeed. But in doing so, they're pumping out mediocre projects that frankly speaking doesn't entice people to resub.
They look mediocre and they feel mediocre. Only the Loki show had semi-impressive visuals. Falcon and Winter Soldier was decent looking too. I wasn’t bored by that show but mildly disappointed at the lost opportunities.

If by "lightning" you mean schlock.
Once again, I agree with Alex's assessment. For all the good (high production value, well-shot, great acting from Mendelson), there's also bad (awkward acting, awkward editing, cheap sets and visual effects). The rumors out there suggest that the series underwent major rewrites/reshoots, so it's possible that's why acting, editing and overall production value seem mixed.

Honestly it's a meh out of 10 for now. I don't like the disrespect that they doing to Nick Fury. Too much retconning and reimagining of the comics for me because so many characters that are in the comics aren't in the show.

This show has just felt boring to me. There are some things that are okay, but in terms of pacing, it feels like it's going at such a slow rate. It really doesn't help that I'm having trouble connecting with some of the Skrulls that they try to paint as sympathetic, and it makes it even worse with the fact that some of the older and established characters have been kinda beaten down or killed. It's just disappointing that the story feels dull, because this show did feel like it had potential to be better.
I'm 3 episodes in and my verdict is...meh.
I'm getting real tired of having to say that about most Marvel shows/movies now, but it's true. GOTG Vol.3 thus far has been the only P5 outing to break that mold. This show is just...meh. It's not awful, but it's certainly not good.
I wanted winter soldier with skrulls. I mean you have Sam Jackson doing A TV SHOW. That by itself should be cause to set up your game.
I felt like nothing happened from beginning to end. It’s a self contained story with no implications to everything else.
What if, hear me out, they brought in Shang chi? He doesn’t have a movie for awhile bring him in after Mariah dies as his muscle. Since he has the rings his powers can’t be replicated and his rings make him not so easy to overpower. Idk wild idea but anything would’ve been better than this.
Mendo is awesome in everything he's in.
Gravik got a Extremis upgrade (from Iron Man 3). Skrulls are mentally linked with the subject they impersonate, maybe thats the reason that the submarine commander in the house couldn't let anything happen to the son of the takenover subject. A logical parental response, just technically speaking not by the skrull, but by the human and those emotions can sometimes overtake the Skrull handling.

Secret invasion should have been the plot line for phase 4 instead of multiverse. It being a self contained series seems too small scale for how cool of a story it is in the comics.
The show is so sad that they are already setting up another "sympathetic" backstory for a horrible forgettable villain
Thats exactly what I thought, but I feel like Gravik is being set up as a pretty evil guy (hopefully). I just hope they can actually follow through with his cruelty all the way till the end. Still sucks that he is just a made up character for this show though.
Its a Disney pattern at this point.

The opening is made with AI without the artist knowing their work would be used in it 💀
And it also looks like shit. I don’t know what they’re talking about when they say it “looks alright”. It looks fucking trash.
I loved the dialogue between talos and fury on the train.talos telling nick that theres a million of his ppl here but what did you expect him to do? He blipped for 5yrs then even when he came back he couldn't even talk to him about anything then fury chooses to leave this time and doesnt help the skrulls. Fury saying you cant have a million skrulls acting like humans.thinking they can share earth when not even humans can get along with each other much less any other species. Also dont think you guys realized but when furys wife wanted to talk to gravik that was actually rhodey on the phone meaning rhodey is a skrull.
For a series that is supposed to be as earth shaking as Secret Invasion. It feels like 6 episodes on Disney Plus doesn't do it any justice. Because it signals to the fans that the higher-ups don't believe its important and the investment isn't there. It's a good show, but it is definitely hurt by the budget constraints of needing to be a show instead of a huge event movie/saga of movies.
they made the skrull sympathetic , then ,ade the the villain, then try to make humans the bad guy.

They wrote Fury too soft. Whatever he was dealing with it didn’t dull him that much. He’s mentally a Batman yet he’s getting stumped and beat out on all these interactions with a bunch of factions. I don’t buy it.
I’ve already made 2 videos on the show, one for the first episode and another after watching the third episode detailing half the series. In essence the show is boring, poorly adapts the source material and makes our heroes feel incompetent and borderline useless in the grand scheme of things. The main villains argument is sound however how it is set up due to fury’s failure and Captain marvels failure doesn’t give me much hope for either character in the mcu. Much of what the show expands upon us how integral the skrulls have involved themselves with humanity not even to take over at first but to just live. Skrulls are even in charge of important government positions around the world which fury knew about and if not makes him even more incompetent. The fact they added that the skrulls are the reason he climbed the ladder at shield kills the super secret agent character for fury a bit. Which was a massive part of his character. This show is really struggling to even be entertaining and for spy drama type show and my hat just kills it for me.
Oh you knew about the source material… I’m so sorry for your pain!

No, it's not. You gonna watch Sound of Freedom? @AngryJoeShow
Trying to start a war with the US and Russia….wow so original. I’ve never heard/seen that concept done in any body of work. Blew my mind. And in a completely different subject why is the audio for this channel getting lower and lower with every new video.
Here is me thinking "wow, finally a Marvel that is not action-dum-dum" and the comments like: "boring, me want boom boom"
Here I am hoping AJS crews opinion about The Sound of Freedom. Hopefully soon.
Joe likes what marvel has been doing? What has he been watching?
I wish At least Daredevil or Punisher was in this. Someone Street level
Yeah, they need a hero, vigilante, or super soldier to do some hand to hand combat with the Super Skrulls in this show so we can atleast have some action scenes in the show smh. U.S. Agent would've work well here too. Nick Fury and Talos are looking to old and frail to get down and dirty lol.
I know this isn’t the right spot to do this but are you guys going to watch and review the sound of freedom
Its disturbing to me that Alex thinks this abomination is actually good.
Joe has been slowly corrupting him for the last couple of years…
It's better than the Boys
It's disturbing that you actually exist
@rowanstuart7150 🤣🤣🤣Agreed. Thanks for the response. I finally feel validation and so should you. 👍 keep up the good work buddy
Kinda overthinking the pods but everything else was spot on
Is there going to be a Sound of Freedom movie review?
Or maybe the stolen memories are strong enough for him to have compassion for the 'son ' even though it's not really his
Epic fun fact : The opening is AI generated.
Make of that what you wish.
No one cares, why do people like you feel the need to constantly bring it up when it's not relevant?
I think it's good, more engaging than most Marvel TV. A terrorist actually succeeded with his terrorist act. This series has a harder edge on it, characters are dying. It at least has stakes, which is always lacking in Marvel TV. This is certainly way better than Falcon and Winter Soldier. People want old Fury to act like young Fury. Fury and Talos are past their prime -- that's the point. If you de-aged them, people would complain. If you tried new characters, people would complain. This is definitely above average.
I wasn’t even that big a fan of the storyline in the comics, but this series would’ve done better to stick closer to that.
Secret Invasion has some annoyances so far, such as people whining over Maria Hill’s “death” when I’m sure she’ll come back somehow and Marvel having a good show in a while imo, but it’s incredibly interesting so far.
I hear it's not doing too well.
Can’t imagine why
@@JackEverton101 I know no clue at all 😌
It’s a decent show the marketing was non-existent though
@@cancerstinks1 they could've or should've marketed it more, what happened?
@@blessanabey8386 they read the script…
The intro was made by AI due to "losing hundreds of artist"
The energy from Joe when he said 8/10 for ep 2… makes me question what 8/10 even means.
Alex's first words "I don't like".... Wow, I am very surprised (sarcasm)
I'm surprised Alex likes this show.
@@beg4mercy890they told you that?
