Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion | New Official Trailer | Disney+

Leaving aside that Andor didn't have filler episodes, that is hardly guaranteed.

Yes it did. It could easily have been condensed to 8 episodes from 12 and lost the stupid slow burn and been more intense and gripping.

Well, that was kind of meh. I'll still give it a shot, though - maybe it'll pick up.

I could not disagree more. I thought the pacing was perfect, and is what made it intense and gripping. The characters and story arcs had time to develop so that I was invested and the themes meant something.

The problem with the first episode of Secret Wars was that it just didn't make me care about anyone.

I disagree with your assessment. I found a slow burn in Andor more gripping. It gave you time to get to care about the characters in slow moments, and to sit in the anxiety of not knowing how things would turn out. Which is kind of the point of how standing up to an overwhelmingly oppressive foe would feel.

I'll be honest that the first episode of Andor didn't really grip me. It took to episode three. Though I do recall the dialogue was pretty clever in the first episode of Andor.

I'm not quite sure what vibe Secret Invasion is going for yet. But I'll give it a chance.

I had the same thing with Andor. It took 3 episodes to get me invested.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Sam Jackson seemed like he was phoning it in, and it is hard to take him seriously as an action hero at this point.

At this point, he is supposed to be playing a washed up version of Fury. I don't think Jackson has the breadth of acting to pull that off very well, but expect him to look more comforable once Fury gets his mojo (and eyepatch) back.

Hey! What have you got against Moon Knight?!

A certain accent for a start...

Me too. If they hadn't put the first three episodes up at once I doubt I would have watched the rest.

Which is why they put up the 1st 3 episodes at the same time. Disney knew if they only did the 1st episode, or 1st 2 episodes, they would bore everyone and lose the audience.
