#SecretINvasion #Harvest #Episode5
This is messed up for so many reasons. We are going to talk about why Fury did this, what his plans were, and how we think all of this is going to lead up to Captain america: Brave New world.
Doug: What was that?
I saw nothing. So, just to catch you up, after the battle for earth at the end of Avengers endgame: Nick Fury sent skrull agents into the battlefield to meticulously collect the DNA of all the heroes. And he called this, “the harvest.” Now that name is incredibly dehumanizing. It implies that the heroes were nothing more than resources to be gathered up and used for later. And maybe, that’s how fury has always been the heroes: as living weapons, to be used to defend earth.
Doug: Man that’s creepy. Why would Fury treat the heroes in such a way?
Well, let’s go back and look at Fury's personal history, both before and during phases one through 3. Then we’ll understand where Fury is coming from, and we can figure out what his end goal really was, and how it leads the way forward for the Marvel cinematic universe.
Fury grew up seeing the worst of humanity. He grew up poor, in the segregated south-much like Samuel L Jackson who was born in 1948 and grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It's interesting that his past mirrors his charters' so closely. Samuel l Jackson loved comic books as a kid-and to this day-and I wonder if Nick Fury grew up reading those Captain America comics we saw in the first avenger.
In this series we learn a bit about Fury's upbringing, how not only did he have to ride in a different train car than white people, but they weren't even allowed to buy food [clip]. And we see this worldview reflected when he lectures Talos about the skrulls [we can't get along with each other].
You have to think how hard it must have been for him to climb the ranks, as a black man in the 80s and 90s. [talking to Rhodey, people like us] But like Talos says, the skrulls were responsible for his rise to power [talos speech]. Not that they did all the work for him, not necessarily. But the appearance of the skrulls and kree gave Nick Fury a purpose.
After meeting Carol and seeing Kree warships, he realized that humanity was outgunned, and needed help for heroes. This is why, at the end of the movie, the authors of the Avengers initiative. In doing this, he admits that humanity is not enough to fight these threats. As he puts it, the heroes are there [fade, to fight the battles that we never could].
At least, that’s the sour he told the Avengers. The real story is, Fury has always been building up contingencies, like the harvest. In case the heroes failed.
So back to Fury. He always has a contingency. Kind of like hsi secret eyeball that had backdoor access to the Shield systems [clip, winter soldier]. Fury’s first contingency was the skrulls themselves. As we covered in this video, it might have always been Fury's plan to never find the skrulls a home. Otr at least, he lied about how easy it would be for other planets to overcome their anti-skrull, anti-s-shapeshifting sentiment and allow the skrulls to settle on their worlds.
But Fury had no problem using the skrulls to make Shield a global power so damn ain't that it reported to the world security council.
So in many ways, a bolstered Shield was his first contingency, as he sought out superheroes. In the early days, his options were limited. Banner’s hulk was too unreliable, hank pym was a retired loose cannon, and Carol [ffh, don’t invoke her name] is very far away. So while he spent years waiting for more heroes to become available, he gathered alien tech, Hydra weapons-anything he could use in case a larger threat arrived.
