Warning ! This post contain SPOILERS forSecret Invasionand The Marvels
Summary
TheMCUalready has the perfect chance to rebootSecret Invasion , 2023 ’s most disappointing crossover . Unfortunately , the show starringSamuel L. Jackson ’s Nick Furydid very little to subsist up to its namesake from the original Marvel Comics . However , there is a chance for Marvel Studios to correct their error thanks to the show ’s finale and some cardinal elements featured inThe Marvels .
bring up after the iconic comics crossover where Marvel ’s superhero community of interests run rampant with paranoia due to a massive Skrull invasion within their own social station , expectations were high for theon - screen version ofSecret Invasionfocused on Nick Fury . It certainly seemed as though Fury would have been in a place to forestall the same sort of percolation from encounter in the MCU . However , the series itself prove to be a much smaller thing with very lilliputian tension or surprisal one would anticipate from a serial about shape - shifting aliens hide among humanity . However , The Marvelshas hopefully fix up a far more interestingSecret Invasionstory in the MCU ’s time to come .

The Marvels Made A New Secret Invasion Possible
More Skrulls Are Coming To Earth (Thanks To New Asgard)
The MCU’sSecret Invasionfeatured the major reveal that the Earth is currently home to over a million Skrulls hiding in surreptitious , have no other world to call their own thanks to theKree - Skrull Waralong with Nick Fury and Captain Marvel ’s 30 - class - old broken promise to get them a new homeworld . However , Fury ’s large Skrull ally Talos did unveil that there was a colony of Skrulls traveling through the stars under the leadership of Emperor Dro’ge . To that end , this refugee dependency is featured inThe Marvelswho were residing on the planet Tarnax IV in the hopes of making it their official home .
After Tarnax IV is tragically decimated by theKree Supremor Dar - Benn , those who were evacuated and saved by Captain Marvel , Ms. Marvel , and Monica Rambeau were then escorted to Earth by none other than King Valkyrie of New Asgard . Because the Asgardians are also refugee aliens exist on Earth following the end of Asgard as picture inThor : Ragnarok , it ’s consistent that they would be benevolent to the plight of the Skrulls . However , this also opens the room access for a brand - novel adaptation ofSecret Invasion(one that could be much bigger ) .
Valkyrie taking the Skrulls to Earth effectively resetsSecret Invasion’sendingwhere they ’d have to hold out in mystery again . what is more , Captain Marvel ’s action lead to more of them dying via Dar - Benn ’s approach on Tarnax , so there could also be new element of concern and growing mistrust among the Skrulls . This could perhaps lead to another rogue cabal seem to pass through and take over Earth , albeit one that ’s grander in scale and focus on the replacement of actual superheroes as find out on the page ( unlikeSecret Invasion’svillain Gravik who simply tried to depart WWIII and release himself into a Super - Skrull ) .
The MCU Already Set Up A Better Secret Invasion
The Finale Teased A Far More Interesting Story
Secret Invasionended with human vigilantes attacking surmise alien following President Ritson ’s address and his hand brake bill point all"off - world born species"as foeman combatants . As such , this would for certain apply to the residents of New Agard as much as any Skrull hiding as a human on Earth . The berth is now even more complicated thanks toThe Marvels’confirmation that New Asgard is now harbor Skrulls as well .
Skrulls on Earth are being hunt , essentially alternate the comics’Secret Invasionstory while still delivering on the melodic theme that Earth ’s heroes ( and the general universe ) will be in fright of those who might have been supersede , specially if there are both good and bad Skrulls . Overall , the foundation for this next thought is far more interesting . Likewise , Nick Fury and Gi’ah stopped Gravik ’s Super - Skrulland prevented WWIII but controversially lead the Skrulls in a site where they were arguably worse off than they already were in the MCU . A newSecret Invasionseries demand to be made so that a bad storey can be order with a strong firmness .

Why Secret Invasion Was Such A Disaster For The MCU
The Show Didn’t Live Up To Its Name
Unfortunately , the MCU’sSecret Invasionsuffered from challenge tempo and a want of meaningful scale . This was combined with very little being offer in the way of surprises from a show that was look to have been full of tenseness , paranoia , and ongoing whodunit smother Skrulls and whose faces they might have taken ( not to mention the show ’s controversial use of AI).Secret Invasionshould have been a full - on crossover voter with multiple superhero appearances , not unlikeCaptain America : Civil Warwhich many refer to as " Avengers 2.5 " . With any luck , a newSecret Invasionstory in the MCU will have the same level of intensity and weighing machine , picking up the thread go away by the originalSecret Invasionfinale andThe Marvels .
