🎬 In this FilmSpeak video essay, we discuss Secret Invasion - The Pitiful Collapse of the MCU and why the MCU is dead
🔔 SUBSCRIBE: kzfaq.info?sub_con...
Is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in a state of decline? In this MCU video essay and review of the latest Marvel series Secret Invasion, we delve deep into the reasons behind the pitiful collapse of the MCU and why the post-Avengers: Endgame era seems to be struggling.
Join us as we examine one of the pivotal events that seemingly contributed to the MCU's downfall culminating in Secret Invasion. This widely anticipated storyline held the promise of delivering intense action and shocking revelations, but did it live up to the hype? I mean Disney was basically calling this the MCU's answer to Andor. We'll explore how Secret Invasion may have missed the mark and disappointed fans, leaving a sour taste in the mouths of loyal viewers and another failure at the hands of Kevin Feige.
Furthermore, we'll analyze how the MCU's once-successful formula may have lost its charm in the post-Avengers: Endgame era. What factors have contributed to the perceived decline? Has the studio been taking risks with new characters and stories, or has it been playing it safe, leading to a lack of innovation and excitement? We also call into question the recent emphasis of quantity over quality and the negative effect the Marvel Disney Plus shows have had on the overall MCU. Why can't they seem to figure it out? It's really such a shame because Secret Invasion is bad.
Throughout this Secret Invasion video essay, we'll present a balanced assessment of the MCU's trajectory, the huge problem with Secret Invasion, why Secret Invasion FAILED, why Secret Invasion is trash, and discuss whether the franchise is truly "dead" or if there's hope for a revival. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Secret Invasion review or Secret Invasion series review and explains why he doesn't care about the MCU anymore, why the MCU is failing, how Secret Invasion killed the MCU, and discuss whether they should reboot the MCU or if there's still a way to fix it. Enjoy this Secret Invasion explained and ending explained video!

A while ago, I was hopeful that the MCU was going to get people enthusiastic about it again. I was hopeful that Marvel, Feige, and Disney had been listening to the criticisms of Phase 4 and would correct those failings given enough time. Even if the corporate suits at these companies didn't care, I had faith that Feige cared, because he seems like he genuinely loves the comics and wants to do them justice on the big screen. The occasional success like No Way Home, Moon Knight, and GotG 3 gave me some bit of hope that the ship would steady and get back on course. But I'm not hopeful anymore. Everything is falling apart. Phase 5 was supposed to open with our first big look at the new big villain of the MCU. And what did we get? Ant-Man 3. Probably the worst movie in the entirety of the MCU to date. A movie where Kang, supposedly the next Thanos, is treated like a generic bland villain and gets taken out by ants and a giant head who spouts lines like "My name is Darren and I am not a dick." After Ant-Man, Gotg 3 restored SOME of my faith, but I knew in the back of my mind that it was only good because of James Gunn, and that he was going to be gone after this. So, I was hopeful, or rather desperately optimistic, that Secret Invasion would be the next Winter Soldier, and would bring people back on board to loving (or at least being interested in) the MCU again. But those hopes have been dashed. Secret Invasion had one of the worst opening episodes I've ever seen for a Disney+ series, maybe as bad or even worse than She-hulk, leading into a season that was overall adequate at BEST, ending in a finale that was just downright insulting. Chalk this up with the fact that the next few shows AND movies in the MCU lineup don't seem to be exciting ANYONE, as well as the fact that the MCU's big main baddie is now embattled in a huge domestic abuse scandal, and I don't think the franchise can survive at this point. Some people think the SAG-AFTRA strike might make things worse, or better, but personally, I think it's happened too late for it to have any noticeable difference now. I'm so dejected. I loved the MCU. I've stuck with it ever since I was in middle school. I remember the days when people used to get excited over each new release and flooded the theaters to see them. With only a couple exceptions, I haven't seen anyone that excited for a new MCU release since Endgame. I even defended Phase 4 through most of its ups and downs, because I believed that SOMEONE high up at these companies would step in and see enthusiasm dipping and say "we need to do something to get people excited again!" But no. We've had three years-THREE GODDAMN YEARS-of half-assed mediocrity, both on the big screen and the small one. It's inexcusable now. They've had plenty of time. They've had plenty of chances. And now, I don't think they even care if their movies and shows stop making money. It's clear they have some bs Wall Street workaround to still make bank off of failing properties, and that's all they care about. It genuinely makes me furious. I hate these corporate pigs so much. We could have had something extraordinary! The Multiverse Saga could have been something tremendous, it could have been something never before done in the history of cinema, and it would have been such an AMAZING social experience! But no. Corporate greed killed it, like it kills everything else good in this world. Capitalism ruins art, folks. It may be a trite statement, but it's damn true. And don't ever let anyone tell you any different.

I can understand most of your sentiment, but the issue isn’t all just capitalism. There was plenty of capitalism involved with the MCU during its heyday. Those films made tons of money. The new ones are not. The issue has a lot of layers. Some of the decline in quality has to do with oversaturation. But a lot of it has to do with poor storytelling and an overemphasis on woke politics. People just aren’t that excited about these new characters like they were the classic ones. There’s more to be said (and I’m very much against crony capitalism). It’s just a bigger problem than that.

The funniest thing is that there were people going on twitter and other platforms saying that Secret Invasion is the show that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wish it could have been, only that the entire series was basically a poor take on the AOS:LMD season, I was left unfullfilled, I've been feeling that way since the Disney+ shows began to happen, none of these shows really have the kind of suspense that we got from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Defenders Series. If only someone like Coulson or Daisy Johnson appeared, and bring back S.H.I.E.L.D. into the MCU, then this series would have had some kind of backbone.

Bruh they got rid of 2 of the core pre-Endgame heroes: Iron Man and Captain America. Those characters, along with Thor (which they gutted with L&T) represented the bedrock of the franchise leading up to every Avengers movie. You knew that we would get an Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor movie before the next Avengers (with Hulk showing up here), with some other ones sprinkled in. Instead of going with that TRIED AND TRUE FORMULA THAT IMO GRANTED THE MCU ITS HYPE LEADING UP TO ENDGAME, they completely abandoned it in favor of diversifying. I can understand why Disney Marvel did this. Maybe they experimented to try to find that bedrock cast to lead into the future. Doctor Strange could have been one, but then his second movie was basically all about characters besides himself... Black Widow, well her movie should have came out before Endgame. Completely irrelevant, and the worst part of this is one is that they tried to replace BW with a new one... Thereby reinforcing the commodification and/or undermining of these characters we've come to know and love. Marvel went too big after Endgame, which a lot of people probably predicted, and it's time for the franchise to shrink so that we can get back to the same grounded, intimate, complete stories that started the franchise: stories that imo were really kicked off with The Dark Knight and Iron Man.

I think the problem was that they abandoned the premise of the show almost immediately. Either that or it was a bait and switch the whole time. What I was expecting was a show that would keep me guessing as to who the skrulls were episode to episode. But what they delivered was more like 24 (but less tense). The question was never who the skrulls were, but how they were going to be stopped. The only time they really managed to keep the audience guessing was with Rhoadie, and a lot of people guessed it from the beginning, just by what a d*ck he was to Fury in the restaurant. So without that "Who are the skrulls?" hook, the whole thing becomes a generic "stop the bomb from going off" thriller, with some serum thrown in. The other problem was the small scale. I know they probably couldn't afford the salaries of the other Avenger actors, but that, too, lessened the tension. We didn't have to wonder if Sam or Bruce or Clint were skrulls. In the end, it didn't feel like much of an invasion, and it wasn't very secret.

Just setting up stuff with no follow up is just dumb. Atleast in early MCU, most set up were infinity saga oriented. Now, each set up is seemingly its own thing. The Mandarin rings and Kamala bangles' cosmic connection, Multiverse set up by a) Doc Strange, b) Loki show, c) What if series; Kang set up for the upcoming Avengers... Nothing is connected and no follow up is given. It's all gone to shit

It's crazy how the MCU has lost so many people's interest, including mine. The last MCU anything I watched in cinemas was Spiderman No Way Home, and GotG 3 is the only movie I'm interested in seeing eventually since. And for the MCU itself, there's been comparisons for it's current development to Marvel's back in the day with good reason. It doesn't seem that they learned from their mistakes but just took their time getting there.

GotG 3 was the last great movie from the MCU, but that's mainly because it's more of a James Gunn movie than an MCU movie. The corporate pigs kept their grubby greedy mitts off of it, because at that point Gunn was just too big of a name to fuck with, I guess. So he got to make an actual film as opposed to just an installment. But I think that was the last gasp of creative integrity from this studio. Definitely give it a watch-it's dark and mature and emotionally hard-hitting-basically, everything the current MCU no longer is.

The issue is that they are watering down the source material. Since Disney owns it, they have to appeal to a whole audience that kids can watch. Most these marvel storylines are mature, and watering it down and making it kid friendly. This has to be a wake up call so they can finally stop making things kid friendly and give us MA content. Watering down violent character like moon knight set my expectations that Daredevil, Blade, and the punisher will be watered down. If deadpool does very well there might be hope

I think it's very unlikely that it will turn out Rhodes had been a Skrull for that long, a hospital gown is not something people wear that rarely in their lives, especially someone disabled of a certain age. As others have pointed out, the leg braces (that he's not wearing in Falcon and the Winter Soldier) are a better clue of when that change might have happened. But yeah, I agree that it was at the very least a bizarre choice to put him in a hospital gown of all things. Maybe it was meant to signify that he was kidnapped while under anesthesia for a procedure and therefore without access to his War Machine gear? It certainly left things a lot more ambiguous than they had to be at this point.

According to the director, he's been a Skrull since he was injured in Civil War. Meaning that he was a Skrull for longer than he was himself in the MCU timeline (MCU starts in 2008 - 2026 with civil war being in 2016)

@@VexdinLord The director's most revealing quote (that I could find, at least), was in a ComicBook interview where he said "I think his legs not working in the end of episode six and him being in the hospital gown points to [Captain America: Civil War]. And, from there, does it have to be definitive, or is it more fun for the audience to go back and revisit every moment, every Rhodey moment and look at it with a different lens now that they think, 'Oh, he might've been a Skrull there.' And make the decision for themselves, or it'll be answered in Armor Wars." When Insider asked whether he had a definitive answer to that question, he answered "No [...] for those definitive answers, I defer to Kevin Feige or I defer to the fans." So while I agree that he probably meant for the gown to indicate Rhodes had been a Skrull since the end of Civil War, he seems to be trying very hard to not commit to that. Whether that decision wasn't properly communicated to the higher-ups beforehand or they all realized only after the backlash how many contradictions it would create for the character, I do hope they use the ambiguity of the gown as an opportunity to not make that canon.

They do so much more to make the Skrulls evil to the point where i dont think the writers realize how evil they are. For every skrull that looks like a human, there is an actual human locked away in some warehouse and rendered unconscious for the Skrull to take their memories whenever they need them. Thats over a million people help captive just so another group of people can wear their skin. Remember, the show says they need to copy a person, they cant just create a unique disguise. Its horrible to think that they just showed up to the planet, kidnapped a million people to replace them, and the show tries to make them seem like the victims.

just want to talk about one of my favorite scenes from the secret invasion comic. this was in the lead-up to the main event, we see nick fury on a date with contessa (who has been introduced into the MCU), and after having a completely normal date, he stops her and asks “so who are you really?” she responds with confusion and he immediately shoots her to reveal her turn into a skrull. in that ONE scene, we have the concept of this show executed a million times better. not only doing justice to the intuitive nature of nick fury’s character, but how easily the skrulls can blend in. this show does neither, so they don’t come across as a threat, and nick fury figuring out who is a skrull doesn’t seem impressive.

I'm not happy people are starting to realize that Endgame was well, the endgame. The MCU's peak and endpoint of the MCU's 22-movie plan and is now rudderless. And making Rhodey a skrull retroactively undermines his character.

Furthermore the more the lazy and bland writing also adds to this reoccurring problem, what’s fury arc? Why do we care about the skulls infiltrating earth as humans? Where is the tension and fear felt when an individual can where your face? How does this change fury or how’s this break him? What does the show do for fury’s character in pushing him as a human being? Those themes and excellent character writing pushes projects such as these to success. The mcu has really felt displaced and lost in their identity, what was the point of this show? Where are we going cause thr where Kang is going? And with the multiversal storytelling of the mcu leaves a lot to be desired and personally l am not excited.

MCU Is not dead and neither is hyperbolic clickbait. The MCU has had way more hits than misses and it's likely to continue that trend. Now if you wanna talk about the DCEU, you'd be correct. Crossing my fingers that the resurrection is successful with James Gunn..... the guy that just had a hit with Guardians of the Galaxy 3..... an MCU film.

This is why Disney needs to change by giving their filmmakers full creative freedom so we can have great movies with distinct visual styles, different tones, creative and consistent stories and character development again. Every single MCU project looks the same with the bland earthen look, aspect ratio, the generic quips and cringe jokes, tonally inconsistent stories, excessive CGI and toxic female characters where the DCEU's movies, while not all of them are great, each have a filmmaker's style. The MCU needs more experienced directors like Sam Mendes, Bong Joon-Ho, Guillermo del Toro, Christopher McQuarrie, the Daniels, the Wachowski Sisters, the Coen Brothers, Peter Jackson, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, Kathryn Bigelow, Matt Reeves, Boots Riley, Matthew Vaughn, James Cameron, David Cronenberg, Ridley Scott, Gore Verbinski, Neill Blomkamp, Andy Muschietti, Alex Garland, Guy Ritchie, David Yates, James Wan and Leigh Whannell so each movie has its own distinct style. For example, I want Christopher Nolan to do an MCU project. The writing in his movies is always great, a distinct visual style, quotable dialogue and amazing practical effects. As we all know, Nolan likes to do things for real. If you watch a behind the scenes video of Dunkirk, you’ll learn those were real planes flying above the actors. I really want him to make a Daredevil movie, I want a far darker, serious and more realistic tone compared to other MCU films and TV shows with no generic quips or cringe jokes, have it filmed on location, including in the actual Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, no science fiction elements, no fan service, beautiful cinematography, Nolan’s visual style, awesome stunts from the actors and a huge emphasis on story, characters and practical effects. The MCU also needs to hire composers such as Hans Zimmer, John Powell, Harry and Rupert Gregson-Williams, Tom Holkenborg, Benjamin Wallfisch, Klaus Badelt, Lisa Gerrard, James Newton Howard, Steve Jablonsky, Mark Mancina, Trevor Morris, Atli Örvarsson, Heitor Pereira, Trevor Rabin, Marc Streitenfeld, Joseph Trapanese, Alexandre Desplat, Steven Price, Thomas Newman, Howard Shore, Carter Burwell, Jed Kurzel, Dario Marianelli, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Sarah Schachner, Michael Abels and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. And finally, we need more R-rated MCU movies.

For people who claimed this is the Andor for the MCU, let me ask you something. Do you honestly think creator and writer Tony Gilroy would make a show *this* boring, meaningless and anticlimactic as Secret Invasion? Btw, Andor is a masterpiece and it's worth your time.

Honestly i liked where it was going. Interesting villain. Good protagonists. Nice twists. And more mature than i expected. Really pushing the PG13. The interrogation scene was...YIKES! But MY GOD! Why can't Marvel ever stick the landing? They always had problems with their 3rd act. The Last episode could've been something. HECK! I would've been okay with Nick Fury dying and The Skrulls actually take over. Gravik was a great villain. But maaaan. I dunno what happened to him in the last episode.
@arjunacharya1627
@arjunacharya1627 10 ай бұрын
if skrull's actually took over, and this is just my opinion, it would be so much better. People like to watch heroes lose once in a while and this would genuinely bring a piece of that infinity war feeling. Nick could've just been gravely injured instead of dying.

I didn’t think it was terrible but I didn’t think it was great either, it was just fine. I can agree with every criticism one may have with this show because it’s understandable and it is definitely my least favorite MCU show so far but not enough to make want to give up on the whole franchise just yet. When they put out something on the level of Halle Berry’s Catwoman or Ben Affleck’s Daredevil or X-Men: Last Stand/Origins: Wolverine/Dark Phoenix is when I’ll consider it

I watched it week to week, until I forgot to tune in after ep 4. I remembered I was watching it and then checked out the final episode. It was only after a breakdown on YT that I realized I skipped the whole of episode 5. I think that says a whole damn lot about how useless most of the show is. You can seriously watch ep 1, 2 & 5 if you want to save time catching up before the next canonical release.
