God I hate this series. It's not bad in the traditional sense, but it feels like such a terrible waste of time. More than anything else that's happened in phase 4 and 5, this is the thing that has made me want to take a real break from the MCU.
I hate the editing. When fake Fury confronts Gravik the quick cuts from wide to close up to other close up to reverse coverage to wide to close up... it made me sick. And when Gravik really got going they ramped it up. Wtf.
Then when Coleman confronts Rhodey in front of tje president, they talk for how long? Why tje hell didn't they shoot the dude in the arm? The show already ahowed how that kind of injury reveals someone as a skrull. Christ.
I hated that they play up how the "Harvest" (I hate that more than I hat The Conjuring's "The Further") has Captain Marvel's powers. The MCU has established that she's as powerful as Thanos. Having Super Skrulls with that level of strengrh just see.s stupid. They're pushing power creep hard.
I hate how they spent almost no time on the actual aftermath. It's like a minute long montage over a Fury monologue. What happened to all the Skrulls? How do they feel? And Fury just goea back up to the station? WTF. What was the point of this then?
Also hated how this was styled as a spy show. How could they make something like this, devoid of any mystery, with so little spycraft or sneaking, and call it an espionage thriller? They already have a template with Winter Soldier or the Mission Impossible stuff, or any number of shows and films. This resembles none of them.
watching more explainer videos about shows like Twin Peaks, Lost, and From. It's odd how none of them can sell the shows. They never sound the least bit like somethimg that is worth watching.
I think Across the Spider-verse has been the only one I liked without reservation. I can appreciate Barbie for what it is, even if it's not for me.. The rest has been hard core blah.
Man, I am glad they re-cast the female lead in The Big Bang Theory.
This actress in the original pilot just did not work. Nor did the supporting cast.
Cuoco worked so much better. As did Koothrapali & Wolowitz vs tje geeky girl pal in the original.
can't believe this is a Disney show now...
What am I missing?
