Secret Invasion’s Failure Makes 1 DC TV Show Even More Impressive

The negative critical reception to Secret Invasion makes one DC TV show even more impression by comparison. Secret Invasion was arguably one of the MCU’s most ambitious shows to date, as it sought to fill in gaps with Nick Fury’s backstory, explore what had happened to the Skrull community by audiences had last seen them – especially regarding how their connection to Fury had changed over time – and also provide major franchise-altering reveals all along the way. From a retrospective perspective, the series needing to try to balance all of these goals perhaps made it inevitable that some would flounder, and that this would lead to audience frustration.
