So apparently following in the ongoing "Hey Hollywood where did all that f***ing money go to" tale.
This cost 211 million to make.
Idk about anyone else but I would like to know where this 211 million dollar show is because what I have watched would barely if at all scratch a 10 million dollar budget.

Unless I've missed the point, it feels like, so far at least, they might have failed to capture the real threat of Skrulls as antagonists?
IMO it shouldn't be so much 'anybody could be a Skrull'. If the Prime Minister's a Skrull, big whoop, who cares.
It should be more 'a Skrull could be anybody' if that makes sense, like Fury racing around trying to track down Gravik who could be hiding anywhere in plain sight. Yet 90% of the time Gravik's Kingsley Ben-Adir so what's the f***ing point.

Yeah, I agree with this. It’s a very engaging show when it’s just two folk talkin’, but the actual main plot and everything else is just okay I thought Ms Marvel was a terrific story about a Pakistani-American teen finding her own voice while remaining true to her culture with some really lame superhero action slapped in every once in awhile. It feels like the dialog pieces and the writing has shined more than the action in a lot of the new TV shows. Haven't watched it in a while, but it felt like Loki was strong in both areas

You'd have thought that in the decades since Captain Marvel, SHIELD would have come up with an easy, quick and reliable Skrull detection device.
I'm kinda enjoying the show, the chemistry between Jackson and Mendelsohn is superb, and I love the quirky nutcase MI6 agent Sonya Falsworth.

I'm enjoying watching it... but it doesn't seem AS GOOD as I was expecting. I think the issue is more on my expectations than the show itself.

I'm kinda enjoying the show, the chemistry between Jackson and Mendelsohn is superb, and I love the quirky nutcase MI6 agent Sonya Falsworth. The only thing I can think of is Fury and Talos did try to come up with a way but the Skrulls’ biology is in such a way that it was impossible as long as they’re in another form to detect it. This is a guy that knew aliens were a threat to the universe and saw what happened in Thor as well so you know he looked into it. He even had a backup plan to override Alexander Pierce. My biggest problem is that the show makes Fury and Talos look like complete goobers. So Fury never had Skrulls planted as spies within SHIELD itself? Why did not a single one of these undercover Skrulls discover Hydra was still around? Sloppy ass work. Also unless Gravik was snapped then why didn’t Skrull Rhodey try to stop the Avengers plan unless it was in the Skrulls’ best interest to get the rest of them back?

This is a show depending on its gimmick and not really doing much else within it and considering they established there is atleast a million skrulls on the planet, this should be a way way way bigger issue within the world.
But nope only 6 episode show that will have little to no effect on the movies.

The show continues to make Fury look like the worlds biggest idiot.

I feel like at this point {Spoiler} This whole thing is either leading up to Falsworth being a Skrull or something to get the tech and DNA for her own scheme, or she'll want the same thing to make sure Britain has what America has and this will be a backdoor pilot to a potential Captain Britain debut. I can't see why you spend the money on an Oscar winner if you dont plan for them to be something a bit more/lead to something else. MI:13 is a series begging to be adapted anyway. It isn't a very good series over all, though occasionally individual actors in it get some great scenes to at least make it clear it isnt any of them dragging it down. Except maybe Ben-Adir whose villain is pretty terrible and he doesnt seem to know what to do with him or what 'type' of character he is.

Given the potential delays via the writer/actor's strike, this is not exactly the most ideal way to go out before a long gap between MCU media.

Maybe your definition of a long gap is different to mine (in Marvel terms, I'd consider six months a lengthy gap), but we've still got a decent amount coming fairly soon. Season 2 of Loki premieres October 6th, The Marvels on November 10, and Echo is released November 29. In terms of work covered by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, all are finished. If the strikes go beyond that, then yeah, we'll be looking at a long stretch without anything from the MCU.

I’m at the damn point where this damn series has been so poorly written along with the rest of the Phase so far that the only thing that will save this mess in my eyes is if my boy Phil and his crew show up to help kick Gravik’s stupid ass. But no we’ll probably get stupid Gravik vs Gi’ah in a stupid Super Skrull vs Super Skrull brawl that I don’t give a crap about.
It’s all MEPHISTO’S fault.

Gravik is one of the best parts of the Barbie movie. Dude and everyone else had a blast making that movie. I wish he got to show some character here.
