{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}So who was Fury talking to at the end of the last episode? We know it's not going to be Quake because she is the "Mephisto" of this series. I was thinking maybe Monica Rambeau... but it's probably just Gravik, right?

Of all shows... LOL I mean, I don't hate it, but it hasn't been as strong as I was expecting.

So are we going to get any surprises when everyone is released from the Skrull cocoons? We know Rhodey and Everett Ross are in there but are we going to discover anyone else was one we never knew about?

Haven't been watching but just learned the season wrapped up and poking around on opinions on it seems like everyone is just wildly underwhelmed.

Having not watched it yet, sort of weird to hear there’s no post-credits?
Like, we all know Fury lives because he’s in The Marvels so you couldn’t do something to set him up in that movie? What was the point of the series, then?

Honestly in a weird way it's kind of impressive managing to make a story entirely about a secret shapeshifting invading force that's been unknowingly replacing people for years amount to basically nothing important happening.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}No Abigail Brand reveal
Fury never once interacts with Gravik in the entire finale
Sonya recruits G'iah to protect earth from skrulls only to upend this entire thing when we learn fury brokered talks between the kree and the skrulls anyway.
This finale sssuuucccckkkkeeeddd and upended its own finale by up ending one its ending plot hooks lol.
Poor Emilia Clarke terrific actress but she has the worst f***ing luck esapecially with TV finales.

I should have known, if I wanted to watch a good Marvel spy show I should have rewatched Agents of SHIELD or Agent Carter. This was got-dang boring.
Sonya was great and should come back in a better show.

Well that certainly was a television show.

They could have done some set up for the Armor Wars show by having Skrull Rhodey be shown giving Tony's tech to hostile forces etc, making real Rhodey feel guilty his best friend's legacy was stolen by someone wearing his face.
As is, Rhodey just got a long nap.
They'll probably pay some lip service to something like that in the later show but could have laid some groundwork here

What a steaming pile of shit. The TV shows aren’t hurting the movies because there’s too many of them…they’re hurting the movies because the quality sucks ass a lot of the time. This series needed better writing and about 2-3 more episodes.

Any time I hear about super hero fatigue or star wars fatigue or whatever, I just think "no, it's shitty writing fatigue" {Spoiler}Noe Gi’ah is the most powerful character running around the MCU and instantly knew how to use her Super Skrull powers and instantly knew how to use all of the Avengers’ powers. C’mon man. I’m not even mad our favorite Agents didn’t cameo because at least they didn’t get wasted on this turd. Hill and Talos got killed for stupid reasons. Gi’ah’s death was a giant fake out. They shat all over Rhodes’s post Civil War character arc. Never revealed when they got Ross or if Okoye was a Skrull when she broke him out. No Abigail Brand reveal when the Skrulls’ prisoners were released. No setup for Armor Wars and Captain America 4 which would be unheard of back in the day. That and Gravik could have been such an evil son of a bitch but the writers suck. I’d have had him out there playing the ultimate mind games with Fury and taking Hill, Talos’ and Coulson’s forms to show he cant save anyone close to him.

Need to get to the last two episodes, but I can definitely get jiggy with the idea of having longer seasons. Six episodes to tell an entire unique story is just not enough time. Disney Plus should be the venue where they can stretch their legs out and tell a longer, expansive story. We'll see, I suppose

Like…I don’t see a reason why Echo would need to 10-12 episodes. Secret Invasion is that sort of storyline where the storyline is so big it needed that extra space to up the stakes. It came off rushed with no real stakes other than pissing some fans off. It’s Stephanie Meyer’s “Secret Invasion” and Gi’ah is Bella. It’s some shitty fan fiction bullshit.

I mean, I'm only up to episode two so far, but my initial impression is not that this series needed more episode, but less. Honestly it feels like it would've worked better as a two hour or so movie.

Yeah I don’t think this needed more episodes at all
Maybe if it was a better more interesting one where something worthwhile happened then sure but to take the whole premise of some of the biggest heroes are secret aliens and replace it with “Some politicians are” is certainly not worthy of more episodes
