Secret Invasion Episode 6 BREAKDOWN! Spoilers! Super Skrull! Easter Eggs, Ending Explained! 

I think Kevin Feige was replaced by a skrull after Endgame

Nick Fury really came to earth to leave after doing nothing but make things worse

The craziest moment for me was when, after focusing so much on the effects of radiation on humans, they showed us all the hostages in the same building, who have been there maybe for years. How did they keep them alive?

I've been defending Marvel for a long time... But I can't defend this series. The finale was atrocious!!

Plot hole. If the used Russian nuclear power plant was so deadly to humans, why were all of the humans who had been kept prisoner there for years able to just walk out as if they had been awaken from a nap, with no radiation sickness evident?

That Rhodey was really committed to the bit! His physical therapy, his conversations with Nebula about his disability, and how damaged and broken they felt was all a bluff? At this point they’re just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

This episode, especially, felt like a slap in the face to comicbook fans. Even OG MCU fans could feel insulted by this one.

The other MCU misfires especially in phase 4, have mostly been because of either artists taking big swings and sometimes it not always working out or just mediocrity. But this was the first time I legit questioned Feige. Like how could he approve this finale?

they literally gave someone nobody cares about EVERYONE’S powers, i barely remembered her name 😭 i’m livid

Once again, welcome to the frustration of every Agents of SHIELD viewer. Cool stuff in the show never crossed over into the movies, and cool stuff in the movies rarely crossed over into the show. Secret Invasion should've been a whole phase.

Leaving Gi’ah on earth is literally universe breaking. Who needs the Avengers anymore when you have her? I don’t know how that idea didn’t immediately get laughed out of the writers room when it was suggested. It should never have been allowed to happen.

Dumbest thing about the finale was how G'iah and Gravik's "Super Skrull" powers included aspects of the enhanced DNA taken like Ebony Maw's Rings on the fingers and Drax's Tattoo/brands. HOW THE ACTUAL F#@%! is clothing accessories, Jewely and Tats apart of someones Genetics?! Truly sloppy.

Every show just reinforces my belief that the MCU cannot survive post phase 3. It was great, and they really should’ve taken a long break to really plan out the next phases.

It is hilarious to suggest that there were no available planets in the known galaxy for the skrulls to settle. The Guardians movies have made it clear that habitable alien worlds are pretty abundant. And Nick Fury had twenty years, so it seems like he didn't even try. There should at least have been a scene showing us the planets that Nick Fury picked as candidates, followed by an explanation for why none of them panned out.

I'm so upset that this storyline was reverted to THIS. They should have made this at LEAST a whole phase. Imagine all the movies having hints of skrulls taking over heroes and people (just easter eggs nothing majorly shown), this leads to the Avengers movie at the end of the phase - Avengers Secret Invasion. We get an opening battle between the avengers and some other enemy, where Thor has just been stabbed and is dying in the battlefield after the defeat. The Avengers all come around him, the scene is emotional with everyone thinking Thor has died...until slowly Thor turns into a Skrull that lays there dead. Boom, Marvel logo plays! We now have the premise of the movie that culminates the whole phase of easter eggs and little storylines that have been created slowly.

i honestly hope the only people who go on from this project are the actors. I believe the writing, directing, producing and overall budget management (how did this cost way over 200 million to make) have been at best ok. Olivia Colman is the standout but all of the actors did the best with what they were given. I do hope (as a major GOT fan) that Emilia Clarke successfully goes on in the MCU though.

boy people were calling this Marvel's Andor but man, Andor had an impecable writing throught the whole thing, if you were just a little bored, at least you had interesting dialogue and characters to get invested with. Secret Invasion is just there, it exists, and it ain't good 😭😔

I think Wanda needs to bring the MCU back to basics for a bit. “No More Powers”

Yeah. Why *not* include Captain Marvel in this story? She has a relationship with the skrulls, and she'd naturally be the person searching the galaxy for a new skrull homeworld. This series was also a great opportunity to better ingratiate fans to Carol Danvers before The Marvels comes out. She could have had some great character-building conversations and struck up a relationship with G'iah, if G'iah is meant to be an MCU mainstay now. That's logical world-building.

it's incredible how Marvel expects us to catch up with these important developments in the storyline when they keep producing slop that no one watches.

I think the issue is mostly KF hiring directors who refuse to watch the Disney+ shows to keep everything connected.

I fear everything that happened in this series will be of little consequence 😔

There was already a major problem was captain marvel etc being too powerful so marvel thought I know let’s make giah have the powers of all superheroes including captain marvel. What’s the point of the avengers now when giah most likely could handle anything thrown at earth except major threats like galactus. It makes things feel like less of a threat when people like her exist

Let's pretend this series didn't happen and Maria Hill is still alive, which is still probably the most upsetting thing to me - that she died in this mess of a show.

They telegraphed who were scrulls( In the first couple of episodes) which defeats the purpose of secret invasion. Secret invasion should have been a show about paranoia nothing more nothing less

Why was Gaia transforming into all these (super scrolls)abilities? But chose to keep her human face.

Despite its good moments, I just think this show was overall a complete waste of the 'Secret Invasion' name. The comics storyline was just phenomenal and so it's a shame that the MCU could not replicate that.

Can’t believe this ended like that. Makes you miss “Marvel Television”. Can’t believe we went from WandaVision, FTWS and Loki to Ms. Marvel, She Hulk and Cheaper Invasion 🤷‍♂️ You should take a moment to watch the 4th season of Agents of Shield at least S4 E14-15, that was truly a well written Secret Invasion 😢

I think this finale was very rushed and lackluster. How did Giah get the powers of ghost if she wasn't at the battle of earth? Also, Ritsons speech threatening all alien life on the planet can easily be directed at new asgard as well, I wonder if the US will attack them too?

I really want them to flesh out G'iah because of how much I love Emilia and her performance as Danaerys

I've been waiting ALL DAY for your review, Grace and I'm so thankful you feel the same way. this entire show was so sloppy and the finale really cemented it in what I thought was the worst finale I've ever seen.

I think 6 episodes just doesn't work, it needs to be at least 9 to complete the whole story without shortcuts, rushing or unresolved plots.

Anyone else feel like "The Secret Invasion" should've been a Captain America story? Like, Captain American learns from national security about a threat that intends to replace important goverment officials and influential figures to coax world leaders into passing new laws. It already sounds like a spy movie, which is the perfect genre for Captain America.

seeing Emilia clark with drax’s arm made laugh for a good minute it was so funny looking! Game of thrones curse lives…

This show really needed more episodes to flesh its story out properly. The way they rushed through everything (epsecially in this episode) made me feel disengaged from what was happening.

This is one Secret Invasion that should have stayed a secret 😂😂😂

I don’t understand what the point of Gi’ah was…

The episodes need to be longer. Marvel promised us six 1h episodes but they haven’t really delivered on that especially not with Secret invasion. Look at Loki and how well that did with a more fleshed out and not rushed story. Very disappointed in Marvel with these 37 min episodes…

I’m just really sad at the state of Marvel now.

I feel like they are going to significantly nerf her powers if she shows up in any further projects. I also don't totally get how they got powers from some of that DNA. Seems like some of them have abilities that aren't part of their DNA.

Emilia Clarke has an adorable and bubbly personality and I was hoping she might have the chance to demonstrate that in this show but they insisted she act as stoic as possible. She could have easily becomes one of the most likable new characters of the MCU but instead Gi'ah is the new face of the "m-she-u". Feige is responsible for this.

Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars is just going to be G’iah soloing the villains😂

This show is Kevin Feige’s mid-life crisis

Giah is now literally the most powerful. She literally has Carlo's powers and probably Wanda's as well. Not to mention every other hero and villain... if they don't address that it's gonna be stupid

for some reason it seemed to me that show was rushed and not given the care it needed considering how amazing comics were but enjoyed your breakdowns Grace as always😁

Every aspect of Disney is self-destructing

Does this mean G’iah will be switching places with captain marvel when she uses those powers? Seems to be the plot hole for the next film 😳

The vfx were alright. I don’t why they kept just changing arms. The drax arm looked weird in Emilia

Love Emilia, hope they use her going forward and make her fun/happy, her best features as an actor!

The Skrulls aren’t the only aliens. Did everyone forget about Asguardians?

My prediction; Gaia goes out and does what Carol was supposed to snd finds a home for the Skrulls, and goes way way out where Feige doesn’t need to adress her

Gaia Super-Skrul is definitely a total mistake, there shouldn't be such an OP character. I hope they can come up with an idea like (what is given can be taken away) or something like that to nerf her.

MCU is all over the place. The consequences of this series will be all but brushed aside for the foreseeable future

This was the MCU most anticipated show since Loki. But after mid shows and movies, fans were exhausted by mediocrity. No one watched this show and it was another mid show. I believe this was the last chance for diehard fans who patiently stuck around since phase 4

“Mantis was a nice touch” - Zing! 😂

Man, i have loved and defended Marvel for a really long time now. But this was it for me, i totally agree with you Grace, i dont think they will ever do something witj these storylines. And i wonder where we are going to see G'iah again.

Just finished the episode. The last... 10 minutes or so of the show feel like a prelude to the show we should be watching with the paranoia about who is who and the President outing the Skrulls like that probably shows how Ross (Harrison Ford) ends up being as President. It feels to me that the show went through a couple of MASSIVE rewrites to the point we got this version. This should've been D+ movie at most (which is what they're doing with Armor Wars as a cinema release, but I can see them actually making it so that it's a D+ movie release).

It's actually very sad that due to the poor response to this show I don't think we will ever see Clark again in the MCU. Maybe this strike will give the people behind marve timel to think about how they are planning these Disney shows.

That was a missed opportunity. This should be a saga. Imagine every post-credits scene we see someone from that movie replaced by a Skrull, for example Ned (Spiderman's friend). So in an Avengers movie we find out that the Skrulls approached the Avengers to exchange them. So we would have some heroes fighting Skrull versions of other heroes. Like a Spiderman Skrull. And the big villain would be the Super Skrull, who is powerful enough to face the Avengers.

Gaia also has Thanos power 😅 she is the most powerful being in the MCU now.

They should have included Guia in The Marvels I think not having her is a huge mistake and underscores how Secret Invasion really won't have that many effects in the overall MCU outside this series.

Unless they're going to publicly announce that they're going back to the board with the shows and redoing completely the approach, MCU is done. Those shows are being released purely for the sake of baiting people into subscribing and nothing else, we can forget about coherent and continuous story, references, easter eggs and whatever. I'm surprised that Feige, a person that has build this whole thing from the ground up is tolerating something that has been happening since Moon Knight. I've lost faith in this whole thing. Daredevil will most definitely be a bust, Loki after so long has passed since season 1 is questionable at best, Echo is a show that nobody wants... and instead of at least building up on what they've created they continue to push new projects with the same six episode mold with budgets that barely shines on screen? Get out of here. It's astonishing how much MCU fell. Fingers crossed for Gunn and his project, maybe his success will finally revlitalize MCU as a whole.

7:06 It was Korg, Thor's friend. Gaiah also uses Thano's and Drax's arms.

Giah is literally a nobody in the MCU, why would they hand so much power over to her?

I thought the rock powers were from korg. But how did they get ghosts powers when she wasn’t in endgame

giah never even met mantis... how does she even know what powers she might or might not have?

The other Rock power that you're probably thinking of Grace is the Kronans (the species that Korg from the "Thor" films belong to). Such a shame that both Talos and Maria Hill were killed off in this series without any future ramifications outside of G'iah now working with Sonya Falsworth. This show had potential but was just average in its execution at every turn. No disrespect to Kingsley Ben-Adir, but Gravik was just a one-note evil villain who would murder his own people without a second thought. I totally agree that we could have been more sympathetic to his plight if we had gotten to see the man whose life he overtook. The best parts were getting to see Fury's love life with Priscilla/Vara, and their chemistry was fantastic. Definitely one of my least favorite of the Disney + Marvel shows thus far. I still have faith in future MCU projects and am looking forward to "The Marvels" as I quite enjoyed "Ms. Marvel". Keep up the good work Grace! :)

She-Hulk's finale was literally a commentary on what this show did. It's baffling that this was approved.

This show needed more than 6 episodes even tho I struggled to get to the finale

I really thought once I saw the series trailer that THIS would be the show to get Marvel back to it's Phase 3 level gold

Unless Giah poses as one or many avengers (at different points in time) in any upcoming projects.. I see literally no use for giving her all powersets.

If getting everyones powers is this easy it kind of makes having super hero teams pointless. Gaia is just too OP & how are they gonna explain this through the movies?? Cmon wtf is Marvel doing

I now forgive She-Hulk. It parodied this show before it even came out! Kevin-Bot needs a system update

Excellent analysis! I couldn't agree more with you. Thanks for the video. BTW, your coughing action is priceless. I'm going to use it for my ring tone. Thank God you're not asking for loyalty payment. Ha, ha!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the cough you did is the cutest & funniest thing ever

Grace do you not remember Rhodey losing the ability to walk on his own. After Civil War he used bionic legs to walk, did you notice that in the 1st episode.

If Giah was secretly the villain in The Marvels that would actually be interesting, but I expect wherever they take her character it will be underwhelming.

Thank you for mentioning Hulking's connection to this corner of Marvel cosmic! For as weird as Empyre was (the celestial messiah/coatati stuff), I really loved seeing Hulking fufill his cosmic destiny. Wiccan has the Children's Crusade and the demiurge stuff which hasn't even been explored that much in the comics yet. The MCU does not need to keep rushing storylines and characters when there are still major comic points that need to be established.

gotta love nick fury's logic too. i don't need superheroes to deal with this global threat and proceeds to send a SUPERskrull to do the final boss fight. real nice writing there

We went from WandaVision to this…

So... Shouldn't all the prisoners Gravik held at Chernobyl have died from radiation poisoning? It was weird how they were all fine after we saw "Fury" coughing and wheezing the entire time, and he was there for just a few minutes when they were there for months at least 🤷‍♂️

the finale with these two super skrulls was RIDICULOUS!

For a invasion I was expecting a whole lot more

It’s good to see that you somewhat enjoyed it. The ending with the president and his hate and paranoia of aliens could be some interesting foreshadowing for the government paranoia of the mutants.

Now that Secret Invasion is over and done with it’s time to move to Ahsoka ⚔️

The other rocky superhero power/person was Korg. He was also present in the Battle for Earth at the Avengers compound. (although I didn't know he had blood that could be "harvested". Thor :Love and Thunder seemed to refute that notion, given what he went through in that movie)

They really called this “Secret Invasion” and sold us solely based of the name. What a slap in the face to the source material.

The only good things I can say about this finale are the FX looked good and the episode was short.

I thought perhaps Carol would make an appearance...and she kinda did! I very much enjoyed seeing the many sides to Nick Fury. Charlayne Woodard and Olivia Colman were absolutely fantastic throughout.

Rody has been a Skrull since after Capt America Civil War. This explains in Armor Wars how Rody has to clean the mess his impersonator has done with Stark Technology.

The promise of the MCU was connective tissue. Yet somehow since as far back as civil war, that feature that made the mcu unique has been eroding away.

all the excitement of Emilia Clark to be in the show and marvel drops the ball with there character

Whatever power may be in the skies above, please spare “daredevil: born again” from this wretched curse you have placed upon marvel studios television 🙏

Have the MCU shows proven Kevin Feige can’t produce television?? Whoever were the people behind the Netflix shows and even some of the other tv at least had some degree of consistency in what they were making

Marvel needs "show don't tell" at the TOP of their notes for anything phase 4 or 5 from now on

Knowing Kang knows how the timeline ends, I could see Kang just kill G'iah out of the blue in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, showing that a mere human like Kang is able to kill an OP God like Dragon Ball Z Cell character in G'iah.

I have no idea what’s coming next after all this.

What was the point of the series if the Skrulls don’t even get a new home in the end

Ghosts phasing ability made no sense because its not a power.

Kevin needs to stop hiring writers from Project Greenlight
