No idea, but other sites like screenrant, cbr and nerdist are reporting it.

Then again, they could all have the same source so who knows.


i do think that Secret Invasion is coming though in light of Captain Marvel 2 possibly having Veranke as the villain

This actually looks like it might be good.

Pretty shocking considering how bad most of their other shows have been.

BruceSkywalker
looks pretty good so hopefully it will be

jaden_2.0
Yeah looks like much more in line with Winter Soldier in terms of it being a spy thriller type of thing and Winter Soldier is easily in my top 5 favourite MCU movies so I'll probably give this a go.

It barely looks like a Marvel show.

And that's probably the best thing it has going for it.

tkitna
So its pretty much a Fury solo flick. Ehhh

Kinda looks good tbh.

TheVaultDweller
The MCU really needs something that takes itself a bit more seriously at this point. They've leaned so hard into the quips and jokes in recent times that they're falling into self-parody.

Like most comic TV and film stuff, it will be watchable, pointless and forgettable. Am I the only one who kind of has all this rubbish melding into one load of shite in my memory, yes, that makes me a dc/mcu shit head, no doubt.

Have you read the comic event? It was awful imo.


A lot of comic book events tend to be though, MCU actually did make better shows from bad material.

Except for Iron Fist sadly, not sure how it could have been better. Fact is Finn Jones was a good Danny characterization wise, he nailed the "spiritual flake" that embodies his comic book counterpart. Perhaps the truth is the movie audience simply would not like an Iron Fist, no matter how well made.

Shang-Chi was accepted and he's basically a more boring version of Iron Fist. Iron Fist failed because Finn Jones was awful playing the character and the writing and story sucked.

cdtm
Finn acting was spot on, the casting was perfect there. Read Immortal Iron Fist or anything since Matt Fraction and Ed Brewbakers run, he's as devil may care as Finn made him.

Spot on, although I enjoy Mando even now more than most mcu drivel.

Shows these days don't compare to what came past.

They have a lot of classics on Archive.org, introduce your kids to AI upscaled Gargoyles or Invader Zim...🥰

Even an AI upscale Xmen animated series.

BruceSkywalker
first episode was surprisingly wondrous. that is coining from someone who hardly ever watches espionage stuff...

tkitna
I enjoyed the first episode.

Robtard
Not bad for a 1st ep.

BruceSkywalker
2nd ep was impressive..

enjoying kingsley ben-adir as the heel

didn't know chrlayne woodward's character was going to be a skrull


also i suspect the super skrull might be hinted at by the 6th and final episode

tkitna
2nd episode was even better than the 1st. Glad to see Fury finally getting out of the gate.

carthage
This show is boring as ****

Robtard
Show focuses more on plot than spandex. Probably why.

Anyhow, ep2 was better than one.

BruceSkywalker
i just wish this show was gonna be longer than 6 eps but I've enjoyed it..


also Gravik might be the Super Skrull

I believe he is after the restaurant scene.

I'm liking this show more after every episode and I didnt think I would.

It looked like he has Extremis. The glowy red/fiery regeneration is one of the abilities it gives you and I noticed it mentioned on the list on the pc from the scientist's lab (along with notes on Cull and some others) in a previous episode.

Galan007
Yeah, Gravik was definitely using Extremis to heal there.

The computer in episode 2 listed: Groot, the Frost Beast, Cull Obsidian, and Extremis.

My opinion:

Those traits will be used to sorta/kinda mimic the Super-Skrull's abilities from the comics.

-Extremis will glean something akin to Human Torch's flames, given the heat-based attacks we saw Killian use(and you also get the added bonus of regen.)
-Groot's genetics will glean something akin to Reed's elasticity, given that it can be used to extend/enhance limbs and whatnot.
-Cull's genetics will glean something akin to Thing's super-strength.

The only "?" is if we'll see something akin to Sue's invisibility. I guess that *could* be where the Frost Beast's genetics come into play, but I dunno... /shrug

Robtard
The others make sense, but how in the **** did they get Frost Beast DNA?

Galan007
Wasn't there one running around on earth after Thor 2?

I don't recall, would make sense.

BruceSkywalker
episode 4 was nice and fast paced

Emilia Clarke being alive was not shocking at all

Talos dying was sad

said it b4 so shall again Kingsley Ben-Adir has been killing it

BruceSkywalker
episode 5..

good words between fury and olivia colman who is a hoot btw...

also great scenes with fury's wife and Gaia

BruceSkywalker
just watched series finale

i like this series a lot especially since i do not care for espionage stuff

looking forward to more of Gaia, but I;m sure when she'll return

NemeBro
Heard this series blows ass, that accurate?

Galan007
Pretty much, yeah. thumb up

Could be worse. Could be stuck watching movies like the Flash.

I dont know man. There's a reason the Flash is the biggest superhero movie flop of all time and it wasnt because it was better than a lot of other movies. It was a pile of dog crap. GotG 3 was average and it was a million times better than Flash, but to each their own.

That's phase 5 not fave 5 btw.

It showed some potential at the start IMO, but then it just fell off a cliff after a few episodes.

Most of the superhero shows and films have ranged from mediocre to dog shit in the last couple of years.

I think its because they are now making movies about characters that not many people care about. You can only rehash the same old characters so many times, but a lot of the newer stuff have characters that are irrelevant to most people and that makes it hard.

I'll be honest, I think they are mostly bad films and the characters barely resemble their comic counterparts.

Not arguing about the poorly written part, but honestly, the part about the characters only resonates with die hard comic fans and i'm not sure thats the intended audience anymore. I think teenagers and kids are the primary audience and thats why the majority of the films rely on goofiness and large acts of CGI.

This Skrull thing reminds me of that story where a male skrull was stuck in female form.


Wonder how that works for Skrulls. Is it purely cosmetic like our surgeries, or are they fully functional in ways the Trans community can only dream?

Nuke Nixon
They're accurate down to the DNA level. So the skrull lady playing Rhodey was trans, sneaky bit that.
