Mind-Blowing Marvel Easter Egg Points to Secret Invasion's Jaw-Dropping Ending: Fans Go Wild!
Marvel Fans Divided Over Secret Invasion's Unexpected Twist: Did the MCU Mock Its Own Finale?
Summary
Marvel's Secret Invasion finale has sparked controversy among fans due to its rushed narrative and unanswered questions. The final episode brought in major alterations, yet the true meaning and impact of these developments remain uncertain.The Secret Invasion's ultimate fight mirrors the exaggerated brawl parodied in She-Hulk, leaving fans both puzzled and let down. Fury's choice to depart Earth after his defeat and the emergence of G'iah's newfound power raise concerns about the MCU's course, as some view these unexpected turns as better suited for a mid-season storyline rather than a grand finale.
Marvel's Secret Invasion episode 6 is now available for streaming. Fans have noticed similarities between the divisive finale and a storyline that She-Hulk mocked last year. Secret Invasion follows the events of Captain Marvel, which took place in the 1990s. Despite previous promises made by Nick Fury and Captain Marvel to find a new home for the Skrulls, they have failed to fulfill their pledge. As a result, a rebel group of Skrulls, led by the ruthless Gravik, is now determined to eliminate humanity and claim Earth as their own.
One of the shocking moments in the Secret Invasion finale is the introduction of the most powerful Super Skrulls ever created. Gravik and G'iah, armed with The Harvest - a collection of DNA from all the superpowered beings who participated in the Battle of Earth in Avengers: Endgame - engage in an intense battle, incorporating the superpowers of various MCU heroes and villains. This climactic showdown seems disconnected from the slow and gradual build-up of the Secret Invasion storyline, closely resembling the DNA-stealing finale that She-Hulk ultimately parodies. Fans have expressed similar observations, as shown in the reactions below.
NovaMania17 shared a tweet featuring a picture of Hulk battling Abomination in the She-Hulk finale. They pointed out that the episode humorously parodied unexpected and excessively intense fights.
RICHARDLNEWBY expressed their bewilderment regarding the sudden and chaotic climactic battle, humorously suggesting that She-Hulk should have appeared and altered the storyline.
TravisBSnell points out the amusing irony of Marvel consistently featuring extravagant, computer-generated final battles in their projects, immediately after mocking them.
On the other hand, McBDirect raises broader concerns about the conclusion and effectively highlights several common fan responses, such as dissatisfaction with the abrupt nature of the final fight and Fury's departure from Earth and the Skrulls.
Secret Invasion's Ending Splits Marvel Fans
The ending of Secret Invasion has sparked mixed reactions. On one hand, it felt rushed and missed opportunities to delve into important storylines earlier. The final episode answered some questions too quickly, ignored others completely, and left the MCU with perplexing cliffhangers that may not be resolved anytime soon. While the finale introduced significant changes to the MCU, their true impact remains unknown.
One particularly puzzling aspect is how Fury walks away from his failure and abandons Earth to handle the consequences alone. As he departs for space, humans actively hunt Skrulls and consider all aliens, including Asgardians, as enemies. Moreover, G'iah possesses unimaginable power, harnessing the abilities of numerous Marvel heroes and villains. It is unclear how future conflicts can pose a genuine challenge with her presence looming. These plot twists are not inherently negative, but they feel more like developments in the middle of a season rather than in a conclusive limited series finale.
