Love how Fury says that he and Captain Marvel knew there was no planet for the Skrulls when at the start of Avengers: Endgame we see Carol ON a lush and perfectly verdant planet who's one inhabitant gets killed, leaving it empty.

Interesting moment, but the pro alien slant felt a little forced. They were going for "look how hateful and intolerant humanity is", but then contrasted with how the Skrulls were perfectly willing to nuke us into oblivion, the xenophobia is more then understandable. I'd have prefered for the ending to be a bit more balanced, with the uncertainty and paranoia extending into the next project (but given how disconnected all the current MCU stuff feels from each other, thats highly unlikely).
When Winter Soldier, and Agents of Shield do spy thriller right years earlier.. why can't we tap into that type of energy again? Oh yes, I'm calling Agent's of SHIELD canon.
This is exactly why we need a strong writer's room. The one primary guy seems like he's done good things in the past, but everyone else seems like they lacked the experience for something that would requires a lot of depth to be done well. I think they were out of their depth.
They should have just said that the longer a skrull maintains a face the harder it is for them to shift to other ones for any period of time. That would give them a good excuse to keep using the same actors.
@16:51 or the planet where Thanos was farming in the beginning of Endgame. Literally perfect. And now, doesn't even have Thanos on it.

It was also awesome how she immediately knew how to instinctively use all of the dozens of powers from different alien species.
Isn't alien threats to Earth the EXACT reason that Fury formed the Avengers in the first place?

I'll say it again, I trust Gilroy and his writers to do Star Wars right. Give them the reins in mapping the future, or at least 1/2, like DC gave to James Gunn.

The discussion on what place the skrulls could settle in was the best 😂👍
re: VFX artists, it's not the artists themselves who are looking to unionize, it's the on-set VFX production crew (ie: the people who set up the blue screen and capture images, etc.) They're much more trades people than artists so unlikely to have much effect on the actual look of the CGI. (Dan covered this in a video on his channel for anyone interested).

It's wild that I keep hearing "Loki season 1 was pretty good." It was my least favourite so far. I must need a rewatch because I must have missed something...
Clark didn't even pretend to want to be there. She was so checked out the whole show.
One quibble re Foundation - there have been some scenes on a total water planet that seemed very unrealistic (no wind, etc) and like it was two people on a soundstage. Regardless though, it is still gorgeous like everything else is. I’d be willing to bet Foundation’s relative budget efficiency is due to more planning and devoting the time to making CGI stuff look nice, with less changing things around in the 12th hour like Marvel Studios is apparently prone to do.
17:00 the planet where Thanos hung out after the snap seemed nice. Gotta clean up the body and head, but otherwise that seems like a great place to start.

The skrulls were wasted im the MCU. They were the reason Peter Parkers identity was revealed because Fury couldn't be bothered to give the glasses to Peter.
wish you talked more about the sharon carter line
One thing I really disliked about Secret Invasion, was that the bad guy's plan was a crap plan. He kept trying to start wars in an effort to destroy humanity. World War 1 lasted for years and ended up killing about 2% of the world population, World War 2 again lasted for years, and saw large leaps in war technology and killed about 3% of the world population. So, even if the Skrulls some how were successful in starting another World War, it would likely not wipe out the whole of humanity. Plus, it wouldn't take much to have Fury or someone else tell the world and show them proof of Skrulls. Then there are blood tests or whatever at every government installation. Starting a nuke war is really difficult, because NO human wants that. They have space ships, just leave Earth. Fury didn't know about the million Skrulls that came to Earth. How did they get there? Why didn't they just leave? Why did the Asgardians get a chunk of Norway and the Skrulls got nothing? Also, the two people with every power ever, wasn't exciting it was boring. This is another example of people taking the name and premise of a well known comic event and doing a quick adaptation. In the comic it was this sweeping thing that shook the superhuman community. The story involved the Avengers, Fantastic Four, lots of heroes. This show had War Machine, minus the suit and Nick Fury. NO other hero even gets a cameo.

I think the fact they are skrulls, along with the machine and the dna is why they could get the powers, so you couldn’t give these powers to everyone.
If they have amachine that takes peoples memories, couldn't they just take Nick Fury's memories and find out why he didn't find them a planet?
The real tragedy is that they could have just stopped at End Game (which is where I got out), and it would have been the perfect ending. But they just thought 'money!' and kept going.

For me, please show you are not Skrulls, care about humanity, and do Ski School 1 and 2.

I'm surprised no one is pointing out that Roady didn't send his Secret Service man home after Fury broke the man's arm.

I normally agree with Spencer and Lon on their opinions of movies, but I still think Winter Soldier was a mediocre movie. The Hydra soldiers were beefcake Keystone Kops, and that made Hydra a silly villain.

21:16 Well.......considering the 5 year blip and how Rocket Raccoon and Nebula were working with Tony Stark.........maybe some files were shared about who attacked who. Plenty of time to put indexes on "Ok, who was that big guy Bruce fought with the anchor and what was Squidward's name?". Yeah, they had time to collect names.
So the whole time a skrull was in the black panther movies??

I think Gaia will be used to demonstrate how powerful the next big bad is, and will be swiftly done away with in a single scene. And it's kind of sad that this was such a crappy show that noone will shed a tear about it. It felt like it was written during the strike like those weak seasons and movies we got after and during the previous one.

WandaVision: Wanda does a terrible thing and yet Monica says "They'll never understand what you sacrificed" so i kinda hate them both now Loki: Loki sucks and constantly gets his butt whipped and lady Loki is amazing at everything! Hawkeye: Eh let's replace Clint with a lady! Hey at least she had some struggle and isn't perfect so this is probably my favorite of the bunch Falcon and Winter Soldier: Trashing on Steve saying he doesn't understand what he thrust upon his friend before making up a bunch of biases that don't even make sense (who calls him Black Falcon?) Because hey it's easy to Teflon yourself from criticism if you say some racists are bad stuff and act like that's bold. Who cares how clunkily it's shoehorned in? She-Hulk: Jen you don't understand being a Hulk. Yes i do im a woman and we deal with so much more. You and your universe saving antics can't understand the struggle of dating in your 30s and btw you're totally right because i lose my temper and suffer consequences until i break the universe and decide to use that godly power to only help myself and not just rewrite people so they don't have to go to jail. Secret Invasion: Nick Fury always sucked and here's yet ANOTHER lady replacement to take up a popular position cause apparently we have no faith in any woman to be her own thing. Screw it you're female Fury and female Talos and they both sucked. What have we accomplished? Well i guess we made things more diverse while shitting all over the original people for the most part. We also broke the universe telling you that nothing was really heroic cause it was all Kang or a Skrull or a Black widow or a member of the ten rings controlling things all along.

A couple of things: 1: You need to be a Skrull to get the powers from the DNA. It doesn't work on humans as they wouldn't survive the process. 2: The US president wasn't attacked in Russia, but in England where such an attack wasn't expected. I get the criticisms for this show, but your complaint is void when the show explained it and you just didn't pay attention.
I remember when I watched Falcon and Winter Soldier. I saw Bucky getting has butt handed to him on the reg (Falcon didn’t fare much better). The action scenes were just so bland, and then I watched the outstanding fight choreography in CA2: WS. Seriously, every MCU hero plugged into TV gets epically powered down, it’s really disheartening to see. And they (the writers/show creators) can’t summon any enthusiasm to make these heroes shine. It’s sad.
Olivia Colman was by a million miles the only redeeming element of this show. The rest was lazy, disconnected mush.

Not to defend this show too much because it doesn't deserve it but they Idea that Avengers DNA erases the plot of phase 1/super soldier serum isn't true. The idea was the technology infuses avengers DNA with Skrull DNA specifically. Because they have the ability to absorb and transform it. That's why Gravik didn't care when he thought Nick Fury was in the machine with him. He knew it wouldn't work on humans.
Not gonna lie. I liked this show
Seemed like there was a lack of writers... even before the strike...
Skrulls are basically the duplicates from the David Niven, Peter Sellar's version of Casino Royale from 1967.
I'm pretty sure i saw this with red shapeshifters in a Doctor Who two parter... Zygon Invasion/Zygon Inversion. That also had a lot of dumb plot holes.

For context, I am an analogue artist who literally doesn’t know how to use photoshop and generally I am very sceptical of the use of ai particularly in art. Hearing your critique of the Ai opening credits just sounded silly. 1. It still took a great deal or artistry to execute 2. I thought it looked cool even though the show sucked 3. They didn’t do it on the cheap from what I understand it was a team of animators did it. 4. You downplaying the ability of the ai art is also extremely outdated and you are missing the point. We shouldn’t want humans to be able to make art because they do it better that computer because eventually the computer will be better we should support humans because of humanity. Ai art can draw hands way better than me and rob Liefeld but that is not the point.

The problem with a lot of things now is that it's all phase woke industry-wide and it's at the detriment to the quality of the products and the services the consumers subscribe to. When they go into writing these movies and shows it seems like they go woke fascist left propaganda first and fit everything else around it when it comes to plot.
