Secret Invasion Unleashed: How Disney Marvel's Latest Misadventure Shook the MCU

When Super Scrolls and Broken Promises Collide – A Hilariously Disastrous Tale

By Mr AugustPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

In the ever-expanding realm of Disney Marvel, where superheroes and supervillains duke it out for supremacy, we thought we had seen it all – but lo and behold, along came "Secret Invasion." Hold on to your capes, folks, because this new D Plus show has managed to blend bad acting, questionable writing, and some seriously mind-boggling plot twists into a perfect storm of entertainment disaster. If you thought Disney was having a rough year already, they managed to drop this gem right when we needed it most.

Remember the good old days of Marvel movies, when we were treated to cinematic masterpieces like "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3"? Well, hold onto those memories, because "Secret Invasion" is about to shake your faith in the MCU. Sure, it might be considered a follow-up to "Captain Marvel," but without Captain Marvel – talk about a recipe for success, right? With all the subtlety of a supervillain's monologue, this show demands you watch three other series just to keep up with the "plot." That's right, "WandaVision," "Miss Marvel," and "Secret Invasion" are here to remind you that being a true Marvel fan requires a level of commitment that even Thor's hammer couldn't muster.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves; let's dive into the maelstrom that is "Secret Invasion." Our adventure begins with the infamous Nick Fury, who's been demoted from the cool super spy we once knew and admired into a sad, broken man. Apparently, his misfortune started when he broke a promise to a scroll named gravic when he was nine. Yes, that's right – the fate of humanity hinges on a broken promise to a genocidal maniac with deep-seated scroll issues. Disney Marvel, always hitting us with the hard-hitting topics!

Not to be outdone, the show's creators decided to shake things up even further by rewriting Nick Fury's character arc. Forget the seasoned veteran and spy extraordinaire; now he's just a glorified pencil pusher who lost an eye to a kitty cat. Yes, really. But hold onto your Cap shields, because it gets worse. Enter Emilia Clarke's Gaia, a character so powerful that she can give Thanos a run for his money – and she doesn't even need the booster seat she uses to drive around!

Let's not forget the baffling decision to make James "Rhodey" Rhodes a scroll since the days of "Civil War." Because apparently, this show decided to upend the MCU timeline and throw continuity out the window with the grace of a Hulk smash. And speaking of Hulk, remember the super scrolls? They're back, and this time they've got a magic machine that turns them into hybrids of every superhero in the universe. Move over Avengers, the super scrolls are taking over – and they're led by an angry scroll who's still holding a grudge from a broken promise made during his childhood. The MCU, folks: where even the intergalactic threats hold grudges like teenagers.

But wait, there's more! The show also brings us the delightful message that love and friendship are overrated, as the characters wander around with as much emotion as an AI-generated script. Gaia, the all-powerful scroll, takes center stage in a CGI-filled showdown that's about as thrilling as watching paint dry. And don't even get us started on the unexplained plot holes, the rampant character inconsistencies, and the general confusion that seems to pervade every scene.

In the end, "Secret Invasion" manages to accomplish the near-impossible: it solidifies itself as one of Disney Marvel's biggest blunders yet. With bad writing, worse acting, and plot twists that would make Loki blush, this show could easily serve as a masterclass in how not to adapt beloved characters and stories. If you're a die-hard Marvel fan, you might want to watch it just for the comedic value – because even the creators seem to admit they were still figuring out the story as they aired the first episode.

So there you have it, dear readers. "Secret Invasion," the show that managed to turn Nick Fury into a sad sack, Emilia Clarke into the most powerful being in the universe, and the MCU into a head-scratching mess. If you're in the mood for a rollercoaster ride of bad decisions, broken promises, and bewildering plot twists, this show is definitely for you. Just don't be surprised if, after watching it, you find yourself pondering the real meaning behind that wise old saying: "With great power comes great responsibility – and a whole lot of confusion."
