Really should’ve killed off Fury like ten movies ago. He hasn’t been relevant since Winter Soldier.

Not much more to chew on since the last trailer.
But…
I think. I saw. A Super.
Supers on the field.
Yes.

And...

Hopefully it will be better than the last series.
Still wish they used Secret Invasion plot for a movie.

More than middling reviews, flagging box office and and growing ambivalence within the so-called fandom - personal expectations are killing this franchise.
And it's a slow death.

People should judge what they get on ita own merit and not set a golden standard beforehand. That way you enjoy stuff more often than not. Not everything can be Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings.

Talk Secret Invasion spoilers here. So no Skrull reveals in the other thread.

A thought...
What if they retcon the recast of Rhodey into him being a skrull?

Indeed. Instead, expect everything to be on par with, better, or worse than the Hobbit trilogy. Slightly more accurate.

There doesn't seem to be much hype for those film.
Guys...I'm worried about the MCU...
Is the end approaching?

Saw the first five minutes (of the first episode) of SI, and the writing seems weak out of the gate. Writing is key in an espionage thriller. I am not as big a fan as most of Secret Invasion in the comics. It was very Scooby Doo to me. While the comics created an atmosphere of paranoia and confusion, the Skrull Invasion itself lacked any real motivation or an actual goal (other than "because conquest"). You can certainly argue that you don't need motivation in comics, but for me, it's the difference between classic storytelling and crossover-of-the-minute stuff. The marketing campaign was certainly a master class in how to get nerds to buy more comics.
I'm hoping the Disney+ series is somewhat more sophisticated.

Honestly not a great starting episode. They probably should have dumped all 6 episodes today.

My opinion is decidedly neutral, but I am intrigued. I'm glad they took some time to set up the drama, but we will have to move things along faster from here.
After getting a sense of what they're aiming for with the series, I know it's definitely going to disappoint most fans' expectations. Unlike the comic, this adaptation has no superheroes.
Strangely enough, I find myself liking this scenario better than the original comics. The invasion of the comics really had no point or reasoning behind it. It was just one Scooby Doo-style reveal after another.
It seems like Disney has cut back on the budget for these shows. The production value feels a little lower than what we've seen in previous series, which is somewhat disappointing.
They should lean more into the espionage genre. This verion of 'Secret Invasion' is about spies in the same way 'Mission Impossible' is about spies - that is to say - not really.

Oddly enough, they're taking major hits for what appears to be an AI generated intro. The Secret Invasion is turning into a public fiasco. The series is essentially D.O.A.

Maybe public opinion isn't there yet. I've my doubts too because I haven't yet reconciled AI as a tool, perhaps the tool it should be. As long as a human mind is its engine than it's more/less benign, but in practical terms who gets the credit? Is it AI doing a human's job or is it a human using AI to their job?
I'm on the fence about who does it better too. It's getting so advanced I feel we're all a Turing Test away from failing to tell the difference.

All the fear-mongering and hype surrounding AI by the media and the tech industry is the equivalent of Y2K madness. AI will not supplant the human race. It's a tool that can only act with some kind of human intervention. All this punditry regarding AI makes for clickable headlines but not much else. And I get that people who were heavily involved with the creation of AI are troubled by some of the near and far-term implications of AI on our society. I truly understand, but they act as if we're perfectly defenseless against our own creation. The only thing to fear is that information presented in the digital world will no longer be trustworthy, and that's really nothing new. Just ask our comrade on the bridge. Now you see me…

I feel like calling them phobias punches down on people's insecurities, which I am reflexively against doing. I do generally agree with you though, and I think the pushes against it are the metabolism of the universe before change.
It does seem like there's a million deepfakes out there and it is concerning, but people with talent (and or ill will) will find away. We're not exactly short of increasingly sophisticated cons without AI, but AI put to good use may also be a significant line of defense against its misuse + its other advantages.
Brave new world. Human error is the caveat in every disaster I've seen applied to AI run amok. Like Ultron, who Wanda feels can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it because he inherited that from Tony Stark.

I actually dig the first episode quite a bit. They laid a lot out there plot wise. It’s more tense cat and mouse than it is high intensity action, but I think that works with the overall tone so far. I’m pleasantly surprised.

So, is Martin Freeman dead and he was a Skrull all along or is that a imposter?
