I think they may have used AI for more than just the opening credits, they probably used ChatGPT to write the script.

I’m feeling really underwhelmed by the show. I like Samuel L Jackson, Ben Mendelssohn, and Emilia Clarke, but there’s so much unwieldiness and awkwardness about the show.

Mostly it seems to suffer from Marvel’s #1 flaw: weak villains. It’s like a repeat of Falcon & Winter Soldier, but with none of the charm of Bucky & Falco BSing each other. The apparent main villain is just some guy and the Skrull “invasion” was already done in Capt Marvel, there hasn’t really been that feeling that “it could be anyone, trust nobody”.

If anything, Capt. Marvel is the real villain here because in 20 years she couldn't find another planet for the skrulls. Instead she seemed to be taking on extra sidequests like she was in a Bethesda game. What was Fury supposed to do, look through Hubble? The skrulls have more advanced tech than him, they're the ones that needed to help find another place, all Fury could do is just try to integrate them into Earth society as best he could. He even took a skrull as a lover, making it more of a personal mission for him, then Talos stabs him in the back by inviting an armada of skrulls in without consulting anybody.

The plot feels hacked together and things just sort of happen without reason. I get the overall scheme for the most part, but it just feels, blah.

The highlight of the episode was the British torture lady, everything else was meh.

That's Olivia Colman, please show our queen some respect!

Agreed. It really doesn't have the tension it should.
