    This was the first Marvel show that I disliked. Everything was so uninteresting and poorly done. That final Super Skrull battle was one of the worst fights in the MCU. They should’ve never compared this to Winter Soldier because it was far from it. Only good thing I can say about this show is how Sam Jackson managed to have a few good acting scenes with terrible scripts.

      The bones of it were good. It was just so, so underbaked and half-assed. Like everything else, that big fight could have been great with just a few adjustments. Imagine if G’iah found him in the facility and secretly freed him, and he calls in the suit to even the odds just as Gravik looks about to win? Instead it’s a quick battle with no well-defined stakes, that nobody sees.

      The reveal that Ritson is a genocidal douche canoe could have been dropped earlier, giving Fury some conflict in whether he actually wants to save him or help him.

      The confrontation between Gravik and Fury was really compelling, but again, it happened far too late to make any difference. Almost everything in this episode should have happened in episode 1, and then we could be playing out the consequences of it. Instead it’s five episodes of buildup to a nothingburger, with the implications of major consequences we don’t get to see until - when? The Marvels? Unlikely. Brave New World? Maybe, but then why bother with this series at all? Just for a prologue to a big movie? What’s the actual story here?
