Didn't they announce an Avengers Secret Wars movie?

Also, Rhodey was in a hospital gown. Unless I'm missing another time is that them trying to tell us, without actually telling us, that he's been a Skrull since Civil War?

Poor Rhodey is gonna be sad as shite when they tell him Tony died.

They did, but Secret Wars and Secret Invasion are not the same thing. Truthfully though, the MCU has just used event comic titles in name only.

This episode was really weak. In fact, the whole series was weak. The premise was great. There's a million shape shifting aliens on Earth. Who exactly can you trust? But really it seemed like nothing came of that. Rhodey was a Skrull, that's it. That's the only reveal. SN: WTF position does Rhodey have now? I know he was in the Air Force. But how did that transition to him being one of the people closest to the POTUS, directly informing him of the need to declare war. Maria Hill and Talos seemingly died for nothing.

Judging by the real Rhodey being in hospital garb and not being able to walk. Does this mean the Skrull has been impersonating him since the incident in Civil War?

The entire premise of this show was Fury did not hold up his promise to take care of and look after the Skrulls. That's why they were pissed at him. So what is the resolution of this show? The POTUS is declaring war on Skrulls, and Fury dips out to space like "oh well, not my problem"

Wtf is up with Giah now. Is she basically the strongest Avenger now? Is she even a good guy?

The Harvest came after Endgame so he was himself up through the end of that movie (using the leg braces), but probably not in Falcon/Winter Soldier I guess?

Most of the MCU series seem to start off with promise but then fizzle down the stretch

Very dull finale that went about as expected

Agreed.

My favorite MCU series so far has been Hawkeye by far.

Disney just sucks at story telling now it seems like, the big fight was just awful. You have all the powers of the all the superheroes and thats all we get, just weak.

So many questions left unanswered. Not a very good finale. But with that said, hope there is a second season to wrap some of this stuff up

Boring, bland finale. Solid show though.

I don’t understand the 35-38 minute run times. Make them all an hour and over the course of a series, you can wrap up some things.

I cannot see there being a season 2. This should have been a phase in the movies.

Don’t understand the point of this. So this chick is going to be the most powerful being in the universe? Don’t understand what killing Gravik does other than having a girl kill guy for women power.

Emilia Clarke killing Gravik doesn’t mean much either way. The lack of answers to what all of this was for is the biggest issue.

Fury got Gravik killed and avoided WW3, but now apparently there will be a war between humans and Skrull and Fury is back off to space. What was accomplished?

Interesting story, not an amazing show but not bad either. They bit off more than they could chew with the final fight given the powers that the characters had.

Why did she give gravik the DNA anyway ? Couldn’t she have just rolled up as a super duper skrull and just kill him?

The fury fake out was dumb and you could see coming from a mile away

They don't even have to do anothe Avengers movie for the Super Skrulls and Secret Invasion, they could have just done a well made animated version movie like the DCU does all the time with the Justice League. DC is always putting out great Justice League animated movies, so, I don't understand why Marvel can't do more of the same with the Avengers.
