Here is My Tv Show Review of Secret Invasion
So basically what happens is that you have Nick Fury and he is learning that a secret invasion is coming to Earth it is the Skrulls. So he has to team up with all his allies to take down the scrolls and save humanity and that is basically what the story is for this show. To be honest I was never really into the story . I think the story is out of all the Disney Plus Marvel shows; this is not as bad as She Hulk. But that being said it is a rather boring storyline to follow.
Now the acting in this show Is awful in fact I will go as far to say that this is the worst acted project in the MCU because as much as I find black Widow not that interesting at least that film it had okay acting in it the actors were at least having fun as their characters. But with this nobody aside from one actor is doing a good job. To be honest I would say that the acting in the show is up there with the acting in Daredevil 2003 And turn the the worst acted Marvel project of all time. Even some of the other comic book movies that people have said that the acting's really bad like in Constantine, Eternals, Birds of Prey none of them and I mean none of them were as bad and the acting in this show.
Now I will give credit to one performance Samuel L Jackson does a relatively great job as Nick Fury even in parts of the show that are really boring and and really stupid I can tell that he is trying with the material he's given. Now the character of Nick Fury is pretty interesting. I like how in the show he Is Reunited with his wife Varra Is probably the most interesting thing about this show because you can tell that they really like each other and the scenes when they are bonding I will say they are some of the more horrible moments of this show. But that being said there is one moment with him and towels which felt kind of like a comedy movie where they are just have Nick Fury and Talos yelling at one another about if Skrulls are good or evil and it's supposed to be this really serious moment but I just found it kind of laughable and stupid. The chemistry between him and Ben Mendelsonh, Don Cheadle, Kingsley Ben Adir, and Cobie Smulders Is decent.
Ben Mendelsonh Plays Talos in this show. But much like I said multiple times I don't think he does a great job as the character I just find his performance really bland. I just feel like he has been wasted in the MCU too many times. But the character of Talos is even worse because this show tried to make you feel bad for him because his race has been killed. But to be honest I don't feel bad for him because I don't really like the skrulls as characters. To be honest I felt more bad for Namor In Black Panther Wakanda Forever because his kingdom was getting destroyed by the government so he has a reason to retaliate and fight back to save his people. Also when Talos died I didn't care because he is such a brand and flat because the MCU didn't even develop his character really well. I just didn't really feel anything when he died. The chemistry between him and Samuel L Jackson is fine.
Cobie Smulders Plays Mariah Hill In this show. Now I like her in the movies. But in this show her performance was so flat and underwhelming. The character of Maria Hill I do think is not as terrible in this show but that being said I understand what the show tried to do with her the character but they didn't really do much and they kill her off and that was a big middle finger to the audience because if you were going to kill her off you do it in like maybe Avengers secret wars that is the best place to kill off the character not in a TV show. Also when Nick Fury Is crying over her being killed I just didn't really care for that either because her death was so out of nowhere. It did not have any buildup whatsoever like M.O.D.O.K´s death in Ant-Man the Wasp Quantum Mania because I think the way he dies was a lot better because he died because he wanted to redeem himself and his death is cringe worthy but it is really funny but yet it was really emotional. I think that was a better death than Maria Hill´s death. The chemistry between Her and Nick Fury was average.
Now I thought the one redeeming quality of the show would be Don Cheadle as War Machine. To be honest I think he does an okay job. But I just feel like he is sleepwalking through his performance at the same time. But the character of War Machine is so awful and what's really disappointing. I liked him in the other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. But in the show he is so boring and he's just here to give Nick Fury exposition and that's all he does. But the thing that really pissed me off is the twist reveal that War Machine was a Skrull the whole time. This is probably the worst twist reveal since the Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3 and that's how bad this twist is so basically a Skrull has been War Machine since Captain America Civil War. People say that this is the worst twist reveal in the MCU and I have to agree with them because even if you did not like the twist with Ikaris in Eternals that he was the villain at least with that twist they build it up really well but with this it felt like it came out of nowhere for no reason. The chemistry between him and Samuel L. Jackson Is okay.
But probably the worst performance in the entire show is Kingsley Ben Adir as Gravik. He is so over the top and cheesy and I can't take his performance seriously at all. But the character of Gravik is the worst phase 5 Marvel Cinematic Universe villain his whole motivation is that all he wants to do is to have the skrulls take over Earth and kill people that is his motivation It's so boring It is probably the worst MCU villain motivations and it is right up there with Aldridge Killian's motivation in Iron Man 3. Also the twist revealed that Gravik is the Super Skrull that was another middle finger to the audience because I felt like this show does everything backwards because The MCU Should have introduce the fantastic 4 and then the Super Skrull but this show introduces the Super Skrull first. I thought that was really terrible of how the show did that. Also the CGI on Gravik when he is The Super Skrull looks way worse than the CGI on M.O.D.O.K from Ant-Man Ant-Man the Wasp Quantum Mania because at least with that character they got most of him right from the comics with a few changes which I was happy with. But with the Super Skrull they got everything wrong. I'm going to say this Gravik Is the most boring Marvel Disney Plus villain because a lot of people say that Arthur Harrow from Moon Knight is the most boring MCU villain. But I think people have been watching this show. I think they now think Gravik is a more boring MCU villain because at least with Arthur Harrow Ethan Hawke gave a tremendous performance and he had an on-screen president and had great motivation because he wanted to kill Mark Spector so he can become Moon Knight again because he was the original Moon Knight until Mark Spector became Moon Knight and took all of it away from him. So that is why you understand why Arthur Harrow has such a burning hatred from Mark Spector/ MoonKnight. Also I'm going to say this Gravik Is probably one of the worst MCU villains of all time because his motivations are so boring and so stupid and not to mention he is so terrible that i actually gained a lot more appreciation for Taskmaster from Black Widow and you should know that Taskmaster is a villain that I don't even like but somehow he ended up being worse because at least to a Taskmaster she did have some fun moments and I did feel bad for her because she suffered through loneliness and depression. But with Gravik I didn't give a shit about anything about this character and to be honest he is up there with bullseye from Daredevil 2003 as one of the worst comic to scenes adaptations you will ever see.
The directing by Kyle Brandt Street is really bad because I don't know what he wants this to be that he wants it to be a sci-fi show or a drama show and the things he tried to do drama with like when Nick Fury and him coping with Maria Hills death it just doesn't work I didn't feel anything when he has crying near Maria Health dead body. I thought that was a really dumb thing of what he did with the show. I also don't think he understands who the super Skrull really is because in the comics he harnesses all the powers of the fantastic 4 and that's why he is so powerful. But in this show he has the powers of the Hulk, Scarlet Witch, and Groot It is just really dumb.
So in conclusion This is my all-time least favorite Marvel show because the storyline is just so boring and not only does it suck from an acting point of view it also sucks from a writing point of view because all this show does is that it reckons a lot of stuff that was established in previous MCU projects like making Roadie a Skrull which is what the dumbest twist reveals in all of the MCU because look I hated the Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3 i still think it's a big middle finger to people who are a big fan of the Mandarin from the comics But at least it was relevant to the story and they fix it by introducing the real Mandarin in Shang Chi so they essentially fixed that problem. But this they just said oh we're going to just reveal Roadie is an alien and it could be okay. I'm like no it was the biggest spit in the face to MCU fans who like that character. Also I'm going to say this I think what this show has done to Nick Fury as a character is way more dumber than the way Disney handled Luke Skywalker in the newer Star Wars movies yep it's even worse than that because at least I can say as much as I hated the way they character assassinated Luke Skywalker at least Mark Hamill did a decent job as the character despite the horrible writing. But with Nick he's just a bum about this whole show he's just an old hermit that's all he is in the show took a perfect MCU character assassinated and made him lame. Also Gravik is one of the worst MCU villains of all time because as bad the other MCU villains are like Taskmaster from Black Widow. Ultron from Avengers A of Ultron. The supreme intelligence from Captain Marvel. All had redeeming qualities about them. At least Taskmaster had some really fun action sequences and you did feel bad for her. At least with Ultron he had a brilliant introduction scene. Even with the Supreme intelligence Annette Bening did try to give a great performance. She was just really boring and the character. But Gravik there's nothing that is fun or memorable about this character. Also I'm good to say this The Void from Thunderbolts is way more scary than this piece of shit villain because with Void had a memorable personality the way he wanted to torture Bob and kill the Thunderbolts and his monologue where he says to Bob in the climax you think you were going to be some great man. Some savior. Can't even save yourself. We will always be alone. But again Gravik is a pathetic and really boring and terrible MCU villain. Seriously I can go on and on as to why I hate the show but in the end I'll leave you with this the show flopped on Disney Plus and nobody watched it and I'll say this just skip this show and go on stranger things it has much better acting way better storyline and the vecna Is a million times more memorable than the villain in this shell because Jamie Campbell Bower is intimidating and he had an on-screen presence at the character. Also the characters are much better written and the show doesn't character assassinate any of them they all stay the same and they get developed perfectly. Also go watch marvel's demons because it has better acting and Supply the way much better affects than this show because this show has very cheap special effects well at least with Marvel's The Inhumans looks like a TV show and it has decent special effects. Also the acting is way better. Also Maximus and a villain is a lot more threatening and a lot more Entertaining to watch than the villain is in this show. You know what go watch Thunderbolts I had the bear characters better dialogue a much better climax and The Void is one of the best and one of the most scariest villains in the MCU. You know what screw it this show gets 1/10. I knew the show would go be stupid and I always said that the MCU have been going downhill with their dumb jokes buy this show did more damage to the MCU than eternals do.
