Disney+ has officially lost all credibility with me. This show was supposed to be marvel’s Andor from the way people were hyping it up and so far it’s exhibited some of the worst writing and direction of the entire mcu. It’s completely soulless and uninspired, even Sam Jackson seems like he doesn’t wanna be there in every scene. I’m usually the most positive person in my circles when it comes to new shows and marvel stuff but there’s no excuse for how bad this is - I wanted to like it so bad, especially after speculating about secret invasion making it to the mcu for the better part of a decade. How hard is it to just ditch the writers room and let 1 or 2 strong creators who are familiar with the content take the lead? It’s also so short that they could have absolutely afforded a director who could bring the content alive. Disney is incapable of making quality content at this point as far as I’m concerned and I think I’m done with Disney+ mcu shows in general now.

If folks wanna discuss specifics, I’m happy too, but the overall package is so poor I had to express my general feelings above.

The Disney+ shows really have seemed rushed in general, outside of WandaVision and Loki. Secret Invasion, especially, feels like a first draft they shot anyway. I can't believe we're at the end of the season/show already. Seems like it should have been at least ten 50+ minute episodes to get the story told. It just feels empty so far.

Those two mentioned shows were good but even then should have been the lowest bar that the subsequent shows continued to improve upon. It’s honestly sad that they seem to have gotten worse with each new entry.

I didn’t even realize we were in the penultimate episode until I looked up the episodes reception after, that’s how poor the pacing was for this episode. Plus Fury exclaiming something to the effect of “let’s end this” made me literally laugh out loud with secondhand embarrassment.

Secret Invasion IMO should have been a massive crossover of multiple shows and it’s effects should be touching every corner of the MCU. Using it as a vehicle to ultimately just say what Fury has been up to behind the scenes of the mcu and deliver more info about his personal life is such a baffling choice.

Oh very much agreed. Secret Invasion should be a much bigger event than what we are getting. I'm not opposed to learning more about Fury, but it should definitely be a side plot to an overarching story in this series.
