That was... Not great. Despite everyone having dealt with Skrulls, they sure don't bother confirming anyone's identity. I kept waiting for Fury, Hill, and Talos to have some sort of code words or something, but no. Plus, Fury both didn't question that his old friend Sonya forgot his preferred drink (Skrulls, to his knowledge, can't copy memories, it was a pretty big plot point of Captain Marvel) and how the random guy in the bar knew who he was. Even a bit of suspicion and boom, they got the bad guy. I also feel like they wouldn't have trusted Gaia so easily, but I guess it's Talos's daughter, he'd think the best of her.

But that ending. You cast the amazing Cobie Smulders for Avengers, have her be a side character with almost nothing to do for over ten years, and kill her one episode into the first story she's actually a part of. Why? What a waste of not only Cobie, but Maria Hill. One of the only other movies she had anything to do in was Far From Home, and that wasn't even actually Maria (speaking of, where was real Maria during FFH? Real Fury was in space, but real Maria was presumably on Earth).

Overall, a fairly frustrating watch.

That was real maria in FFH. Talos was cosplaying Fury because Fury left Earth after the blip (probably after Tony’s funeral).

Maria and Fury both shapeshift into Skrulls (Talos and Soren) in the end credits scene of FFH.

Oh wow, my bad. Can’t believe I forgot she changed too. I’ll try to be less confident with my incorrectness in the future.
