![]() ![]() President Ritson barely had a line in the show before this episode, so I didn’t really feel much jeopardy when he was lying in that hospital bed, and I am surprised there was no big reveal of a Skrull in hiding before the credits rolled. Better than last week’s, for sure – but by this point, there’s not a lot it could have done to make me care about the characters. ![]() But then how are you supposed to be thoroughly disappointed by Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania if you don’t pay £22 plus pick n mix to go to the Imax to see it? Marvel wins either way, and a knock-on effect is a will-this-do? attitude seeping through everything else it produces.īack to the Secret Invasion finale, then. Which makes me part of the problem, I suppose. Actually, who am I kidding? I will watch anything Marvel releases, the second it’s released, normally in an expensive cinema. If I wasn’t writing these recaps, I can’t guarantee I would have tuned in for it. I must say I wasn’t exactly looking forward to this finale after the rather limp penultimate episode. We’ll see what he does next when The Marvels comes out in November, which will apparently pick up things right after the events of this series. I never had Fury down as a forgive-and-forget kind of guy. ![]() They’re going to live happily among the stars, negotiating peace between Skrulls, the Kree and humans. And then, in a scene reminiscent of the ET finale, Fury summoned a spaceship and escaped to his Saber space station, with Priscilla, now Varra, in her Skrull form, in tow. And, looking at the way Ritson’s driver was kept out of shot, Skrulls could be a bit closer than he thinks.įinally, Falsworth and G’iah discovered another stack of hibernating humans. His words were enough to inspire vigilantes all over the world, though, with some deceptive Skrulls (goodbye Shooter McGavin) and innocent humans, such as the UK prime minister Pamela Lawton (Anna Madeley), killed by gunmen and Shirley Sagar (Seeta Indrani) attacked by masked men. I don’t think several armies could take her down now. G’iah helped release the people trapped in the Skrull bunker, including a very worse-for-wear Rhodey – is the intimation that he’s been held hostage longest out of all of them? And just how long ago did that happen? Ritson then issued a rather ill-advised message that all aliens will now be considered enemy combatants and killed on sight – good luck with that one, especially as one of them now has all the superpowers contained in that vial.

It all came together just in the nick (Nick?) of time, with G’iah killing Gravik, Fury killing Skrhodey and Ritson calling off the nuclear strike in perfect order. He also had some truth bombs for Ritson, filling him in on the fact that Skrulls had been impersonating a host of world leaders and superheroes, and that the real people were in suspended animation beneath the Skrull compound Ritson was proposing to destroy with a nuclear missile. They then had a superpowered scrap, which I don’t feel outstayed its welcome – CGI punch-ups are an occupational hazard, but this stopped some way short of being overblown.īack at the hospital, the switcheroo now complete, we realised that Falsworth hadn’t been lying at all – Fury and his dart gun were coming for Rhodey. Better to have two superpowered monsters, one good, one bad, than just one evil one. It made a lot more sense when you consider that Fury’s plan was to hand over the Harvest to Gravik and then presumably drop dead from radiation poisoning. When Fury and Gravik finally came face to face, in the Super-Skrull machine, they exchanged barbs, and then the penny dropped – that wasn’t Fury at all, but G’iah in disguise there’s no way the real Fury would sacrifice another planet just to save Earth. Falsworth (Olivia Colman), meanwhile, was on decoy duty, telling Rhodey that Fury was coming for the president and that he must be moved. Over at New Skrullos, Fury’s Geiger counter was doing overtime as he staggered around, coughing and spluttering, and saw all the soldiers Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) had killed. ![]() She said false flag, Rhodey said all-out assault on the American republic. Rhodey (Don Cheadle) was at the bedside of President Ritson (a wildly underused Dermot Mulroney) doing his best to convince him that it was in fact the Russians who orchestrated the attack on his motorcade, despite what the Russian president and the US security adviser were saying. ![]()
