Also on another subject… {Spoiler}{Spoiler}When did the Skrulls kidnap Everett Ross? Between the time we met him in Civil War and now or has he always been a Skrull using his rank and power to try to take power out of the Avengers hands and to get closer to Wakanda? {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I was wondering the same thing. Based on them saying the show is in "Present Day", he was either captured after the events of Wakanda Forever or he has been a Skrull the entire time. Hopefully that gets explained.

I’ve seen literally every thing in the MCU but a few episodes of AOS.
This is just kinda boring. I would be slightly more interested if weren’t just meeting most of these characters for the first time. Oh some shady new character… ohh I bet they’re a skrull.. yep.

I was considering watching this, but honestly--other than Nick Fury, I've never heard of most of the characters. And I am somewhat familiar with Marvel comics, although admittedly quit reading regularly partway through the initial secret invasion story.
Gravik, Pagon, Talos -- who the f*** are these schmucks?

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I really hope we get some sort of establishing timeline as to WHEN the Skrulls started kidnapping these more notable named people...Ross is a big one everyone has a theory but no concrete answer and with only 6 episodes in total not a lot of time to keep it all a mystery...same with the question above when and how did they get the DNA of Groot , obsidian , and frost beast.

{Spoiler}How did the Skrulls get Groot, Cull Obsidian and a Frost Beast's DNA? {Spoiler}Cull Obsidian left half an arm in New York after his fight with Tony, Peter, and Wong.
A frost beast is last sean roaming London after the events of Dark World.
The Guardians stuck around Earth for a little while post-Blip, giving the Skrulls a window to get a Groot sample.

If only there was something that tells you who these characters are? Oh, wait. There is. Never heard of that TV show. It’s a YouTube video featuring their most important scenes from the Captain Marvel movie they were in. That said setting up the skrulls was the like 6th most important thing in that movie. So I’m with you Since all of this in the trailers I don’t think a spoiler tag is necessary, and I’ll be vague. Also this show the inciting incident, instead of the government saying “yes they got intel about the attack and tried to stop it, but they were working on their own accord” they just get super vague about it, which makes everyone look horrible, then just make some stupid decisions because we have to stretch this thing out to six episode. But I guess you have to build up some drama when they finally reveal Rhody is a skrull because that guy is totally a skrull. The switch happened between Civil War and Infinity War remember when his feelings on the accords just flipped with no explanation why. That’s when it happened.

Just a thought {Spoiler} they're building super skrulls, Groot is the Mister Fantastic, Cull is the Thing, Extremis is the Human Torch, so does that make the Ice Beast Sue?

People know me, I’m a fair man. I don’t like forcing myself to see the negative in things and I can enjoy things with flaws.
Man, this thing is so slow and bone dry, it’s almost criminal. Everyone’s acting well but everyone feels so wasted and moving towards a goal that nobody can possibly care about. Olivia Colman’s the only one so far coming out of this unscaved but she’s an award winning actress that can make the dullest projects have 65% more charm so she almost barely counts.
I’m one of the people who liked Talos in Captain Marvel because he was quirky and snarky and hey, liked he was Fury in Spider-Man Far From Home but nothing was done with that and Mendelsohn (along with everyone else) deserves better.
And I haven’t even seen episode 3 yet!

It really doesn't feel like this show has much buzz, at least compared to even previous Marvel TV projects.

It really doesn't feel like this show has much buzz, at least compared to even previous Marvel TV projects. It was always going to be hard to pull off outside of something like animation or any medium that isn't reliant on having actors actually appear on screen. Because the way you make something like this work is either involve characters we know more about on a ground level (and Talos isn't a bad one to include for obvious reasons) or basically set it up throughout the last year of the MCU that some people were acting out of character and were revealed to be skrulls across different stories pre and post blimp which a) seems like a lot of work writing wise that you have to keep a real track on and b) would be really, really expensive to pull off from acting talent alone. Especially considering the chances of Robert Downey Jr coming on a Disney+ show to smile and wave and captured by the skrulls for many years, as an example, seems really, really minimal at best.

It's pretty good. It's just that most of the big reveals make you go "oh ok". Like you could see that the Maria Hill and Everett Ross plot points are both supposed to make you go "whoa!". and instead they're just kind of flat
Well acted show though.
