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

[Umbran]

Eh. The first episode didn't thrill me. A whole lot of people in dark places punching each other.

I understand that darkness is "appropriate" for spy work, but it isn't a great choice for home presentation.

I checked a few sites and while there doesn't seem to be agreement on everything, it seems that SI comes after both Quantumania and Marvels, at the end of the current timeline.

The Marvels happens after SI

as far as I can tell set in 2025 so far we have

1. Moon Knight
2. She-Hulk
3. Ms Marvel
4. Thor: Love and Thunder
5. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
6. Werewolf By Night (maybe?)
7. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
8. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
9. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
10. Secret Invasion

Two episodes in and it's still not grabbing me. That's rare for me, when it comes to Marvel.

I think The Marvels is going to cross over several time frames and the finale may come after SI. Remember that it has to tie into Monica being called up the the space station at the end of WandaVision and the end of Ms Marvel ties directly into some point in the move. Also, that article I posted earlier about Maria Hill appearing in The Marvels may be wrong and it was that the writers were going to include her and then dropped the character from the script, which clears the way for part of The Marvels to take place after her death.

As for the year, I have not seen anything that says other than the MCU is staying about 4 years ahead of real time, so it should currently be in 2027, though with all the covid delays for shows and movies, they may be trying to have the MCU year and real year be closer.

Infinity War happened in 2017 and Endgame is set Five years after in 2023(!).
WandaVision occurs a short while after but still in 2023. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier takes place six months after Endgame and Far From Home is set eight months after Endgame in the 2024 Summer Vacation. Spider-Man: No Way Home Continues to Christmas 2024 and overlaps with Hawkeye.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness follows in 2025.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Love and Thunder and Quantumania all occur at the same time in 2025 (6 years after Nakia left Wakanda after Infinity War).
Assuming the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is set Christmas 2025, Guardians 3 is 2026 so SI might be 2026 too

be interesting to see if The Marvels does cover multiple years…

I did enjoy the second episode better than the first. The torture lady was a lot of fun. (That's a sentence that probably doesn't get used a lot.)

In certain circles, though...

The "torture lady" is Academy Awards Best Actress Olivia Coleman, so yeah, she classes up pretty much anything she is in. I agree that episode two was much better than episode one.

 

[Stalker0]

Third episode is alright. For me the best part of the show is the slow reveal of nick fury's background. That character development is far more interesting to me than the plot itself.

A few spoilers

Spoiler

Surprised that Emilia Clarke's character was killed so quickly. Its possible the "actual human" comes back and she stays in the show that way. But yeah, its always interesting when I see people take on mostly bit characters in the Marvel Universe, because you are preventing yourself from getting any of the big roles.

Now maybe people don't want to commit that long (Emilia probably has plenty of money from GOT), or maybe she isn't finding the work she once did. Or there is less faith that the train will be a long road, that Marvel is starting to "burn itself out". Hard to say for certain.


To me the most interesting part of the episode was Talos talking to Fury, when Fury asked him why he didn't go with Gravik. And the answer was not...."its wrong", or "I don't believe in genocide". It was "I have loyalty to you".

That's a very understandable motive, but again really puts the Skrulls in a bad light. Talos was setup as the moral center of the Skrulls, and if even he is basically saying "I am actually comfortable with human genocide at this point".

Are we at #KreeWasRight yet?
