Secret Invasion (Marvel Series Trailer)

Thoughts:

1. I love Samuel L. Jackson, but Marvel has shown a lot of capacity to waste good talent with terrible writing. She-Hulk has a couple of talented folks in it but you'd never know it. I will still give this one a try, I think, but I can definitely understand if some folks won't bother.

2. It would be great if some folks would make cameos. Spider-Man's identity might not be known, but him and Daredevil make great street-level heroes. It's dark, so getting an appearance from She-Hulk in something that isn't a non-stop joke fest might be interesting as well.

3. *IF* they can not freaking quip every 15 seconds, I would love a dark Marvel series. They haven't had a truly serious one since they ended the Netflix Marvel series (the best Marvel actual series, IMHO, are still Daredevil seasons 1&2, Jessica Jones season 1, and Luke Cage up until they killed off Cottonmouth).

On a side note, that was a pretty amazing string of great villains during those series:
Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin
David Tennant as Kilgrave
Mahershala Ali as Cottonmouth

I doubt Marvel will have a string of villains that good ever again, even if the writing gets better.


4. Secret Invasion is one of the best comics that came out during a run of REALLY good comic series by Marvel. If you haven't read them they are (in order - best reading to understanding the catalysts of each):
Avengers Disassembled
House of M
Civil War
Planet Hulk (Occurs at the same time as Civil War)
World War Hulk
Secret Invasion
Dark Reign
Siege


As it stands, if there ever is an "House of M" it will look drastically different. We already got Civil War, are getting Secret Invasion, and they're setting up Planet Hulk.

Dark Reign is heavily focused on Norman Osborn, who is unlikely to ever appear in an MCU movie at the rate they and Sony get along with each other, so that will probably look different.
