The final episode of Secret Invasion takes us “Home.” Well, at least, for those that survived. To find out who those are, take a listen as Dag and I discuss the season finale, it’s ups and downs, and what it might mean for future MCU projects.
It’s time to play…Spot the Powers!
It’s been hinted at and this week we finally know for sure what the “Harvest” is and why it’s so important. Once again, Dag joins me for this Deep Dive into Secret Invasion. Find out who our favorite new MCU character is among other things in this penultimate episode.
Fine, I’ll just tell you…It’s her. She’s our favorite new MCU character.
From last week’s “Betrayed,” to this week’s “Beloved,” we’ve got some important conversations, and one giant action scene. Dag and I discuss all the details of this episode, including the Skrull reveal (that was really done last episode), and another fateful death.
Yes, but for how long?
This week’s episode of Secret Invasion is titled “Betrayed,” and it makes sense, as there are plenty of people feeling that way. Fortunately, Dag didn’t betray me, and he showed up to bring his thoughts on the show. Together, he and I discuss the ins and outs of the plot, and where we think things will go from here.
The comic book version of Varra has made only a couple of appearances. This is the one you can see her best in.
Secrets are starting to be revealed in this Secret Invasion, especially right at the end of this episode. Special guest Dag (aka TrekNexus) and I discuss our thoughts, theories, and general opinions on the episode titled “Promises.”
We have a feeling that this guy (or someone very similar) is in our future…
…so you should learn his Theme Song.
Who Can You Trust? Find out (or at least theorize) in this first episode of our Deep Dive into the Secret Invasion show on Disney+. Is Nick Fury really as washed up as everyone says he is, or is that just another one of his spy tricks? Special guest TrekNexus from the Beyond Trek podcast joins me as we debate that and other details from the show.
If you watch this after watching Episode 1, you’ll notice some new things you didn’t see the first time.
I say the chances of seeing something like this in the show are just about nil, but that’s okay, because this never was something that actually happened in the comics either.
No soda sipping for the original Talos…
As I say in the episode, I believe this is Gravik’s closest comic counterpart.
Sure, S.W.O.R.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. make sense together. But, where did H.A.M.M.E.R. come from? S.T.R.I.K.E.? W.A.N.D.? And what the heck does U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. stand for? This episode, we go through various groups in the Marvel Universe that use acronyms and go through some of their history.
Total Recall totally ripped the “gun in the x-ray” off!
SHIELD’s first Director after 40 years of Fury…Maria Hill.
Tony doing his best to get in on that sweet Bond action.
Norman Osborn was going through a bit of a “What if I was played by Tommy Lee Jones” phase.
Until they gave her the gauntlets, I had a hard time telling Daisy and Maria apart. How about you?
If by “markedly different,” you mean “treasonous,” then you’re spot on!
Abigail Brand, Director of SWORD. With her sometime boyfriend Beast behind her (to her right, our left).
Happy Holidays, everyone! Like last year’s episode, I thought it fitting (considering the timing) to go over some of Santa’s appearances in various comic books, this time focusing on Marvel Comics (other companies may be featured in future years), as he meets the X-Men, Spider-Man, and Howard the Duck (twice!), among other appearances. Warning: Ironically and unfortunately, this episode may not be suitable for kids. (Mostly due to the topic. Language-wise, it’s safe)
🎶I saw Hitler shooting…Santa Claus…🎶
We never do find out when/how they got turned back from action figures…
Back when Howard was always an angry duck. He’s mellowed over the years…
Ho Ho Ho, now I have a handgun.
No, Shulkie, we’re not kidding.
This cover is misleading, but what we do get is equally (if not more) disturbing…
Following up on Episode 51, where we found out how Nick Fury started looking like Samuel L. Jackson in the comics, we discuss the miniseries Original Sin, and how that led to a whole new status quo for the original Nick Fury. Warning: If you don’t like eyeballs by themselves, do not scroll down.
I shot the Watcher…But I did not shoot the Deputy.
That is not a mask. His head is actually one giant eye. How he sleeps without an eyelid is anybody’s guess.
Nick and the Decoys. Live on the Moon.
We learn later he only said three words, even though it looks like a lot more in that caption.
Nick Fury started out as a square-jawed white Sergeant with adventures taking place in World War II. So, how did he go from that to the Samuel L. Jackson look-alike we see today, running a super-spy agency? That’s the question that gets asked and answered in this week’s episode.
As concise an intro to the Howling Commandos as one could ask for. Thanks, Stan!
That Steranko goodness. This cover has been homaged many, many times.
This is how Nick first appeared in the Ultimate Universe, but it was quickly retconned to…
this motherf-er here.
For a while, this was the most accurate Nick Fury on film. Weep for the fandom…
Say Cheese!
