And so, the old “everyone calls me Wrath, not Nicholas, not Joseph, not Nick” rule of Skrull identification holds the perfect record in this department (more or less). Secret invasion Confirming what particularly paranoid viewers have suspected for two episodes: Don Cheadle’s James “Rhodey” Rhodes is a Skrull. How much time does it have? Was he a Skrull? Is the real Rode still alive? We have no idea, and Secret invasion He has no interest in answering any questions… at least in this episode.
what we do Find out that it was Rhodey Skrull who spoke to Priscilla Fury in the last episode, as he meets her here in the church to give her a new order: kill your husband. It’s nice to see Cheadle rocking a full beard in this episode, though it doesn’t get any worse until later, and if nothing else – that’s fine. Secret invasion It’s giving some underrepresented MCU actors more opportunities to flex their muscles than their films allow them to.
Unfortunately for Roddy and Priscilla, Fury has a problem with… something (after all the excitement they’ve gone through with the owl, it’s amazing they didn’t explain it unless I missed it) and they’ve been eavesdropping. their speech. This means Roddy knows she’s a Skrull and that his wife has been ordered to kill him, although Fury tries to talk him out of it by reminding him that he’s lost his edge and will probably die on his own soon (as you can remember from every episode of this episode).
Meanwhile, we see some quick flashbacks of Jiah using the Super Skrull machine on herself before being shot and recovering from last week. A seemingly fatal injury With help Iron Man 3Extremis Tech. She And Talos later discussed what appears to be a different version of the law Avengers: Endgame On the bench, Gyah refuses to turn her back on the battle and begs her father to tell her what the plan is, because Gravik is actually it has Plan and maybe it will work.
And, unfortunately for her and him, Talos’ plan is cruel; He and Fury single-handedly put down the Gravik and Skrull rebellion, then go to President Dermot Mulroney to demand a reward. Gracefully allow all one million Skrull refugees to remain on Earth disguised as humans. Talos shows that if the Skrulls keep doing good things, humanity will accept that they are good. Gyah rightly tells him that this is foolishness and a storm.
Back at the Fury household, Priscilla Fury comes home making tea and doing something strange. He was telling her that she was the biggest mistake of his life, but even knowing that, he probably wouldn’t have done anything different. It’s sad and sweet, especially since he knows she’s there to kill him. The two talk about their relationship a little bit (at least to the audience) as if their marriage was a plan to get closer to it, and they released their favorite Raymond Carver poem “Late Fragment” together. Their respective guns and shooting.
They both miss him on purpose, he jokes that he doesn’t know if this means a divorce or renewing their vows, and before he leaves – warning that Gravik is now coming after her – Priscilla asks Fury if he still wants her. He loved her for being her “true self.” “I guess we’ll never know,” Fury says. Samuel L. Jackson plays him very well, although the timing is a bit rushed. We’ve only just met Priscilla, but clearly she means the world to Fury, a character we clearly love if we’re watching this stuff, and it’s nice to sit through the fallout a bit.
Fury, newly single and ready to party, grabs a $5,000 bottle of Pappy Van Winkle and meets Roddy in his hotel room, saying he wants to settle their beef. Roddy, a new shower, doesn’t really buy it, especially when Fury starts telling him that the Skrulls have infiltrated the US government and that there’s even one close to President Mulroney (I don’t care what the character’s real name is, though I know it’s Ritson). Roddy, lulled into a false sense of security (as you may remember from all the previous episodes of this episode) knowing that Fury is on the loose, laughs and threatens to release the security camera footage of Gravik shooting Maria Hill. Rage if real rage doesn’t throw out conspiracy theories. Rodney hits the rest of the bourbon as Fury leaves and reveals to Talos that he has a “liquid activity tracker” in the car outside.
Talos and Fury tail Roddy in a meeting with President Mulroney (who smells the booze on Roddy’s breath, a nice little detail), preparing for a big conference with the Russians about the terrorist attack at the premiere. But, on the way, Roday summons Gravić’s goons and they attack the president’s convoy, making a point to shout so many things in Russian that any survivors will think it’s a Russian attack.
i thought This shootout was well choreographed, with the various helicopter crashes all looking like a realistic part of the action and not just plain CG stuff, although it does seem a bit odd to see such an extended gunfight in an MCU thing. Anyway, Fury and Talos arrive with some soldiers and rescue President Mulroney, but as Fury tries to escape, Gravik sneaks up and stabs Talos. Unless he uses the Super Skrull machine when we’re not looking, it could be for Ben Mendelsohn and Talos, which should hit harder than I imagine.
Maybe it’s because not much happens for 2/3 of the running time and then it turns into a scene where someone gets killed or we find out someone has a secret wife (the two ways a Secret invasion scene might end), it seems a bit rotten since we don’t have a real sense of how Fury intends to save the world. He’s sliding through every room, doing his best, ie cool Because Jackson is always compelling in every role, but I want to get some real meat at some point.
Incorrect observations
- I, again, dropped the episode a whole letter above the AI introduction. I think artificial intelligence is a scourge that must be eradicated immediately if we value art and culture. The option to do so becomes even more enticing to greedy executives who hate what makes them rich over time. I continue to be amazed that this company, I mean Disney, is trying to use technology that is inherently toxic for the work it produces, and I hope sanity prevails in the end in the face of this idiot. , stupid snake oil technology fad.
- So when did Roddy become a Skrull? It was his last appearance before Falcon and winter soldierI believe he was already working in some high government positions. Before that, Raccoon was striking Thanos’ spear while riding on his back. It would be nice and crazy if we found out the switch happened a long time ago, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. To be honest, I really have a hard time Care About this without knowing when he was replaced (just like Martin Freeman in the premiere).
- This was a surprisingly short episode, coming in at a full 20 minutes into the nearly hour-long second episode. I wonder if something is cut? There are a lot of things here about Russia and America going to war, and we don’t see any Russians. Marvel would probably never admit if something was cut, like a viral story rumor was removed TFATWSbut it’s a little weird.
- And what did you get?
Do you want this life, even then?
i did.
And what were you looking for?
To call myself popular, to feel myself.
Favorite on earth.
