Disney+'s SECRET INVASION show (2022?) 5 5

[speedcake]

It's the first marvel show that has my interest in a long time.  Looking forward to it, and am happy to admit so.

Watching it now.  The real invasion  are the Hobbits.....

Ok, am I doing something wrong, or is Disney pulling more trickery with Rotten Tomatoes.  When I go there and pull up this show it currently is sitting at 66% for critics and 84% for audiences, however it is not listing how many reviewers have reviewed it, like the site normally does.  In fact every other thing I click on has how many people have reviewed it, but not this.  

 

And never mind, it is showing the number of reviewers now.  Must have just been a glitch on my end.

Intriguing enough that I would watch Episode 2.

I totally forgot about this,  hopefully it's decent.

As with most Disney+ series, the first few are usually the weakest episodes.  However, this series is off to a good start.

It seems the opening credits were made using AI art.  Article from polygon.com is HERE  

It seems a bit "gimmicky" to me, but I'm not the one making the show.

Lame, but it fits what the series should be about, so a rare pass may be in order.

I had no idea this already dropped, but will check out the first episode...guess this could be a sign of "Marvel fatigue" for me, as I was in the loop with all of the previous D+ series and watched episodes within a day or two of their release.

I never read the comic series on which this show was based, and don't know if that's a good or bad thing?

They are making Fury look really old for once. I hope it works for them right now I am not liking it.
Especially the ending.

I have not watched any of the D+ Marvel shows to date as they all kind of seemed to be 💩.

I might check out this one, though, as I liked the comic arc.

i really hope Nick Fury meets his demise on this show

and the first 5 minutes were great, finally a more serious show but nope didn't last

of course Sam Jackson playing Sam Jackson like he does in every role

like many of their Disney+ shows, the biggest question I ask myself is "why should I care" I think they failed to answer that question with a very general answer

i'll continue to watch but I doubt it will get any better

I really liked it - it laid down some great espionage-ey stuff. I liked that Kraddick (or whatever his name is) was the girl with the ball - that was a cool touch to establish that things aren't what they seem. I was a little worried with the mush-mouthed conspiracy agent at the beginning, it was a little hard to put together what he was trying to put across, but I think the episode was a good start.

I'd been hoping for years they'd touch back on the spy magic they hit with Winter Soldier, and this seems to be their attempt. I love Old Man Fury. He's paunchy, scruff, worse-for-wear and can't handle what happened with the snap - which is believable, since he likely styled himself as the Guy Who's Big Ideas Protect Planet Earth, and he failed at that. I'm totally ok with that introspection.

I am excited to see where it goes. The ending...I dug it.

you and I would make a great review team

@Dr. Balls seems to emphasize the good in everything. I will admit that I tend to lead with my criticisms, which may come off as 'negativity', but I find it typically easier to mention what didn't work in a movie as most aspects of a film tend to be positive.

Ha! That's be kinda awesome. I can cover the fat, bald and glasses portion of the host requirements.

Thanks for pointing that out, I try. However, I have leaned more than once into a fire-and-brimstone review on things that patently don't work at all. To each their own - the best part about this section of the boards - aside from perhaps the box office numbers topic  - most people get along registering their opinions on shows.
