When they attacked the President a lot of the Skrulls got killed and turned back into Skrulls right in front of the Secret Service and British soldiers, so there's no more question about Skrulls being responsible for it.
But the story is they are working with the Russians. If the Russians were working with the Skrulls why would they have the Skrulls disguise themselves as RUSSIANS when they attacked the President?

BTW, that was the guy from "Black Widow" on the plane, right?

I'm going to release the video of you killing Maria so all the cops in the world will be after you. But you already have him surrounded by Secret Service who could arrest him right now and lock him away. And if you want him to get to Gravic with the harvest why have all the cops after him and take a chance on him getting caught and not getting to Gravic?

If he’d have opened a few more drawers he’d have found this shows profit margin.

This feels like desperation to get more people to watch it.
Episode 1-3 coming to Hulu for a limited time.

I know what you mean. I haven't watched an MCU show since Loki, and I defenestrated most of my expectations after Endgame.
Yeah Im a fanboy but even I have to draw the line somewhere lol. After She-Hulk.. Ive watched pretty much all the shows and specials (Halloween and Holiday) except for some of Miss Marvel Spoiler for ep 5…it didn’t suddenly become great. Lol I did go back and rewatch the trailer review you were part of last year and it sucks cuz we were all excited for this show as a return to form. Maybe capturing some of the Winter Soldier essence and running with it. Its kind of a shame that they couldn’t figure out how to tell this story properly.

How funny would it be if Mystique was hiding as a skrull who was hiding as a regular person? Bad memories of Atomic Blonde all over again lol How funny would it be if Mystique was hiding as a skrull who was hiding as a Hydra member who was hiding as a regular person? Bad memories of Atomic Blonde all over again + 1 lol

Guys i think Feige doesn't care anymore.
Maybe it's time to retire the MCU?
The only two highlights of this series for me was their take on the Super Skrulls, with using the DNA of the Avengers, Thanos and his Black Order and various of other characters and creatures from previous films was a cool way to bring it full circle.
The ending montage of the world being paranoid and killing people because they think they're a skrull. This should have been the premise of the series.
This is DCEU level of bad.
There's no post credit scene.

Uh… why lie? I liked this episode - in fact, it's my favorite one. That said, with your expectations being in the toilet like mine were, there was only up to go from there.
The finale felt like they finally understood what genre they were working in. Still, none of the mostly cool stuff I saw was enough to save a deeply flawed series.
I didn't buy into 'the harvest' concept as it makes it too easy to replicate superhero powers in universe, but it did produce some cool visuals. I also dig Gia as the Super-Skrull.
I finally got my Kree shoutout, and it was an overture for peace… That's like "rain on your wedding day."
And what's with all the big arms?

Holding my nose going into the final episode. Surprised at a glance to notice it's 37 or so minutes. I figured it be like the first or second episode, 55 minutes +. Doesn't seem like as much time as it could be for an episode to go all out.

It's fine. Predictable and probably too safe for its own good...but fine.

I liked G'iah as the superskrull type thing but it kinda took away the gravity of Fury squaring his past with Gravik. The reveal it was G'ah instead of Fury made me think what the hell! I get it, pretend to be Fury, get close, play the con, but he said some good things you'd hope Fury would say to make amends with his demons and then boom it's G'iah.
That was a nice first punch she landed though. Man of Steel would be proud.

Might check out some reviews more fully now I don’t think it’s as bad as some YouTubers and whatnot are making it out to be…but it’s not exactly good tv. I mentioned it after episode 5 but I thought to myself “Is there any reason I’d recommend this show to anyone, for any reason?” I can’t honestly say I would. Although I am glad for it introducing me to Olivia Coleman. She’s awesome.

Thats the real difference in acting

Also did Maria Hill end up getting a funeral or did she end up being a skrull somehow?

Talos was the only one to get a funeral. Released from the mind pods that were introduced in episode 1. Skrodey was the only main character to be revealed as a skrull in disguise.

I refuse to believe that. That would take away so much from his character in endgame for me. Plus Fury was on good terms with Gravik after endgame. I would need a lot more explanation for that one to make sense to me.
