Marvel’s newly released secret invasion gives a fresh take on the web series that is released by Marvel Studious, it’s not a generic and vibrant Marvel web series, For the last few years Marvel has been exploring the cosmic and mystical side of the MCU there were no grounded project as like Captain America: Winter Soldier but the new Secret invasion web series follows a serious tone and goes deeper in exploring the ground reality of the MCU, It’s a complete thriller series which will hook you till the end, This series is Dareker than the other marvel projects which is good because it follows a serious tone. Fans wanted a grounded and good Marvel project since Falcon and the winter soldier which was set in phase four but after a long time they are getting it in the form of Secret Invasion and it’s the first Mature and grounded project from Marvel in Phase 5.
The Premise of the Story
The story of Secret Invasion is loosely based on the comic book crossover event named “Secret Invasion” which had a run from June 2008 to Jan. 2009, After the things that happened in the Captain Marvel movie, The Skrulls were promised a home where they can live peacefully but the promise was never fulfilled and when they felt that there are being ignored they started Sneaking in the government and taking big positions, staying undercover for a long time now they are going to start a war between America and Russia so that they can take over the world while the people are busy fighting Wars, And Nick fury is trying to prevent it from happening.
Nick Fury’s Role in the Secret InvasionÂ
Nick Fury is the main lead of this web series and he does a pretty great job acting wise, His expressions show the seriousness of the series, In the series Nick Fury goes on a journey to find out more about this Invasion which is done by the Skrulls and he searches for his former associates and makes a team to put a stop on this Invasion immediately, Nick fury has emerged as a leader in this Web series who takes matters in his own hands and solves, Sometimes in the series he becomes ruthless and violent.
The Ideology of Skrulls
Skrulls are beings that can transform their face and body shape and make it look like whatever person they want, This is the level of threat they possess, In the series Secret Invasion The Rebellion Skrulls led by Talos want to conquer the earth while some are still on the virtuous side there is a bigger threat of Super Skrulls, These Skrulls can mimic the powers of other Superheroes which is insane considering the fact that in MCU’s earth, there are a lot of super-powered beings, overall the ideology of the Skrulls is that they want revenge because what they were promised is forgotten.
Difference Between Secret Invasion and other Marvel Series
Secret Invasion carries a tone that no other Marvel series had in the past, Its cinematography is somewhat similar to that of Captain America: Winter Soldier, Also Emilia Clarke’s character G’iah who is the daughter of Talos, In the trailer we have seen a glimpse of Talos which is Also portrayed as a serious character sets the narrative that there will be no jokes and comedy in this series. Its CGI is also better and it has a graphic scene showing torture. Even though a lot of kids watch Marvel movies this is not the one they should watch.
Final conclusion of the series
Overall this is a grounded series, Nick fury is not an overpowered or mystical character like – Captain America, Iron Man, and Ghost Rider, But still, This series gives a fresh new take on the current ongoing situation of the MCU, There are some errors like the motives of some characters don’t seem well written except Nick fury. And the first two episodes don’t have a lot of paranoid stuff simply because they are likely building up for the Upcoming episodes. Overall this series deserves a 7.5 out of 10 points. My take is that you should definitely watch this the director Ali Selim did a fantastic job capturing the serious side of the Marvel cinematic universe.
