The show feels like it's...half done. Like the Secret Invasion is basically just about 1 Skrull who wants war? It's supposed to be invasion in our whole lives right? How about all the Skrulls who've been in society and high in government? Was that not the invasion that we were supposed to watch? Who cares about this Gravik guy really...
I don't understand Ritson's response at the end. War...against aliens on earth? Shouldn't people be somewhat comfortable by now with aliens on earth? Are they gonna try to kill Thor next time he's on earth? And he says "we know how to find you" even though they really don't? The only thing that I thought might make sense is if he's also a Skrull somehow but is he just another dumbass human president? And Fury fucks off back to space when the war is started by humans now? As long as it's not a Skrull starting it I guess a war is fine...
They threw together so many different plot elements like super skrulls and Fury's wife and outer planet politics and the history of skrulls and being a spy genre and fury being old and on and on
Too much stuff, not enough time to let any of it work together. Now we have a new world war starting, an interplanetary peace summit, SABER, and a new ultra super powerful being. That's so much world altering stuff. Will any of it be addressed in the next movies?
Yeah that's how I felt too. There's so much but the whole show seems to be focusing on just 1 small part of it, and it feels like at the end they resolved nothing.
Remember the giant statue of a being appearing in the ocean? Or the equally giant figure who appeared briefly over London? That's just one movie and they've never addressed it again.
There's a rumor going around that the celestial in the ocean from Eternals is going to be a plot point in Captain America: New World Order, but who knows.
At this point my working hypothesis for explaining why these catastrophic events keep getting ignored is that the Eternals etc all happened in an alternate universes.
So much of the order of these films and series got thrown off track by COVID. Nothing has been released in the order originally intended, so addressing some of these significant events may be left up to the next wave.
And I don’ mean this to excuse the other elements of these projects that have been bad or poorly thought out. I just genuinely believe that the last three years have not gone AT ALL as originally intended by Marvel.
I was so surprised that there wasn't a reveal after Ritson's speech that he was actually a skrull and that he was purposely ruining any chance of peace to continue Gravik's crusade. But no, just terrible writing and inexplicable character choices.
