Caution! Secret Invasion episode 3 will be discussed further, which may contain spoilers. Fans are left in shock after witnessing a major character's demise in Secret Invasion episode 3. Marvel Studios' latest Disney+ series reaches its midpoint with yet another intense episode. "Betrayed," the third episode of Secret Invasion, adds to the intrigue surrounding Gravik's plan and appears to bring a significant loss for Nick Fury and Talos the Skrull.
Following the release of Secret Invasion episode 3, fans took to Twitter to express their reactions to Emilia Clarke's character, G'iah, meeting her end. Take a look at some of the tweets below:
The death of Maria Hill in Secret Invasion episode 1 was a painful blow, and the sudden demise of G'iah, especially considering Emilia Clarke's prominent role, added to the emotional distress. Are the writers of Secret Invasion secretly driven by a thirst for blood?
Observant Marvel fans immediately recognized a larger issue with G'iah's death - it reinforces the pattern of female characters being sacrificed to further the development of other characters. It's now becoming a recurring theme, as both Nick Fury and Talos have lost their closest allies and loved ones, solely to propel a revenge plot in the latter half of Secret Invasion.
The Marvel fanbase vividly displays most of the five stages of grief, including bargaining, depression, and notably, anger and denial. This is particularly evident due to the way superhero movies and TV shows tease viewers with false character deaths, feeding into the denial aspect.
In the concluding moments of Secret Invasion episode 3, an intense confrontation unfolds between Gravik and G'iah. Displaying his merciless nature, the villainous Skrull shoots down G'iah, leaving her to perish on the ground.
Is Emila Clark's G'iah Really Dead In Secret Invasion?
Iron Man's death in Avengers: Endgame was four years ago, and now the Avengers face another devastating loss with the demise of Maria Hill in the Secret Invasion premiere. Nick Fury and Talos have been working tirelessly to thwart Gravik's plan of taking over Earth. Along the way, there have been numerous unexpected twists, including the introduction of Fury's wife.
Hill's death serves as a catalyst for Fury's determination, and it appears that Marvel Studios isn't using fake-out deaths in this instance. While her loss isn't new to Secret Invasion, it is surprising that G'iah is killed off with three more episodes yet to air. However, promotional materials for the Disney+ series hint that Talos' daughter may not be truly gone, with glimpses of her potential return in the trailers. Unless those scenes are misleading, it is likely that Clarke's character will make a comeback in the MCU.
If G'iah is indeed alive, her reappearance in Secret Invasion is intriguing. To maximize the emotional impact of her absence, Marvel Studios may choose to delay her appearance until the final two episodes of the series. It's important to mention that Talos is unaware of what happened to her daughter. The explanation of her return by Marvel Studios will be captivating, especially considering her transformation back into a Skrull after being shot by Gravik.
