World class actors, a writer from Mr Robot being a showrunner, unlimited budget for stunts and action scenes

But I'm not enjoying it, it started out promising, abit of a slow burn but isn't going anywhere or as epic as it should be.

The main villain Gravis is a bit of a joke, he isn't scary, menacing or emphathetic. There isn't time to build chemistry between Talos and Gaiah. Fury doesn't seem to know what he's doing, just reacting to events, just same vague idea of stop the Skrulls.

There isn't any suspense to who is or isn't a Skrull, no paranoia which was basically the entirety of Mr Robot.

The Skrulls also haven't really succeeded in much, the first bombing resulted in a boring hearing where the Skrulls grilled another Skrull.

They kinda threw away a surprise Skrull reveal very early on. Where Martin Freeman, someone who never interacted with Fury is a Skrull and gets killed off and doesn't affect the plot. But Maria Hill who's been with Fury since the first movie isn't a Skrull but is killed off for some reason. It would have been super cliche, but also built on the sense of paranoia that Fury didn't know how long Hill had been a Skrull over the years. Now Fury's only ally is already a Skrull. There's no suspense at all, no Among Us, who's the imposter

I agree with you in principle but that's what they did with eternals and that also sucked

I think they gave the project to the wrong filmmaker though. She is more of an indie filmmaker, not a blockbuster one. You know who would do a good blockbuster, even if they only have 1 feature film on their belt, and only a handful of short films? The two brothers who did this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_(2019_film) They made their film for only $7k, and they made extreme efforts to feel like an Amblin-era Spielberg blockbuster. For $7k. I can't even grasp what they can do with $100 mil!
