The show has been ok so far but I’m starting to lose interest in the skrulls. I’m hoping the show picks up and we get something more interesting than another world domination story.
Not loving this show so far. The dialogue is clunky in a lot of places.
And the carpet bombing joke was tasteless. If Rhodey isn't a skrull, that America Police attitude is bullshit.
Yeah, I found that carpet bombing joke pretty tasteless as well.
I know the show isn't perfect, but I really enjoyed the scene between Fury and Rhodey. The line about grasping power away from mediocre men who look different and ensuring it isn't held by mediocre men who look the same. Goddamn what a slap in the face to Fury.
And the closer: "I'm Nick Fury. Even when I'm out, I'm in."
How is this show so bad? I don’t get it. The scene between Rhodey and Fury was supposed to be tense and consequential, but it felt the complete opposite. It was dull and void of any stake. The plot is so shallow that nothing that’s happening in the show has any footing. The council of Skrull was terribly acted and written as well. I can’t wrap my head around how Marvel thought this was a good idea to release out in the wild in it’s current form?
I'm liking the slow burn of it. And the total paranoia that anybody could be a Skrill.
I’m still upset Hill is dead. Although I like that they showed her at the beginning and then we meet her grieving mom just to drive it home that she’s really dead and it’s not a fake out. (Or is it…?)
In any case, I’m a bit confused by Fury’s actions here. Is he desperate? His confrontation with Rhodey seemed weird. He went AWOL for years and just expects Rhodey to do him a favor? After causing an international incident? He knows better right?! It just seems out of character. like Hill said, Fury used to be a few steps ahead, but this episode really showed that he’s just trying to catch up.
Also I’m not too happy with the villain just wanting world domination. They already have the cabinet with powerful members in powerful countries. I’d be more intrigued if we follow the political route instead of war.
Pacing has been all over the place and I just do not understand the motives.
When it releases, can anybody let me know if it’s as bad as the first episode or at least worth a watch?
