Trailers Always Spoil: At the end of the second trailer, we see that one of the villainous Skrulls has been infused with a superpowered gene that allows them to stretch their limbs. In a Freeze-Frame Bonus, we see that the Skrull terrorist faction have also acquired some sort of genetics that will be used on their people, which, combined with the later shot- will imply that the villainous Skrulls will consist of superpowered beings much like their comic counterparts. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: In the first trailer, Talos is heard warning Fury that they have to be "very careful now", regarding the current situation they're in. In the show proper, he actually says the line to Gravik, when he mockingly asks him if he wants to say hello to G'iah, who's currently in his car. | |

Bloodier and Gorier | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_1f963842 | comment |
Bloodier and Gorier: As of Episode 2, this series is currently the most graphically violent of the Disney+ MCU shows period, as we see people being killed on-screen in brutal ways (ranging from being shot at or, in one instance, being impaled by a meat hook). Heck, we even see a finger being cut off clean (despite the fact it belonged to a Skrull) in all of its gritty glory. With Werewolf by Night (2022) being the only other Disney distributed MCU projectnote as the Netflix MCU series (which had more graphic content in general) were not distributed by Disney nor Marvel Studios themselves that's not afraid to show off graphic violence, Secret Invasion takes the cake for being the most violent of the mainline MCU entries thus far. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: The comics' Secret Invasion was a massive Crisis Crossover event that had multiple superheroes from other Marvel titles coming together to fight against the Skrulls in a huge and grandiose war. This series takes more of a Spy Fiction Conspiracy Thriller approach to the concept, with the main characters being the Badass Normal Nick Fury, the shapeshifting Token Good Teammate Talos, and their respective allies. | |

| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_272abb98 | comment |
Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Nick Fury's actions throughout the show were all about preventing Gravik from bringing about war between Humans and Skrulls, losing close allies such as Maria and Talos. But in the end, it ended with things even worse off than before with President Ritsen declaring Skrulls and other extraterrestrial life a National threat. Instead of trying to fix the problems he inadvertently caused, Nick Fury just leaves to do work on S.A.B.E.R. once more. | |

Beard of Sorrow: Fury's off his game since getting dusted and coming back from the Blip, and he's grown a full beard to show he's not the clean cut spy he used to be. It serves as a visual indicator that He's Back! as he slowly trims it back to his goatee over the course of the series. | |

| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Gravik intends to wipe out humanity, but he will only turn against a fellow Skrull if that Skrull is actively working against him. We see this when he allows the one Skrull councilor who he didn't turn or browbeat into submission to leave safely when she refused to follow him. It turns out to be a mistake, as she immediately contacts Talos and tells him that he has become the new Skrull general. | |

Adapted Out | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Veranke, the Skrull royal who masterminded the comics' Secret Invasion is replaced by a new character named Gravik as the main antagonist, who also doesn't share her religious motivation. Inverted with both Talos and G'iah. Neither character appeared in the comic version (in Talos's case, it was because he was unable to shapeshift), but are major players in the show. In general, the comics had the lions share of superheroes who were involved in Secret Invasion, most of whom are excised here. In fact, the only named superhero who's actually involved in this show's events is War Machine, who ironically didn't appear in the original comic. And as it turns out, this isn't even the real Rhodey, but a Skrull posing as him, meaning there really are no superheroes present. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The show is much more cynical than the MCU's usual fare. Fury and Carol's noble promise to find the Skrulls a new home has gone poorly, and they can't live on Earth, because humans will never be able to accept Skrulls, seeing as we can't even get along with each other. Talos is seen as a Wide-Eyed Idealist for dreaming of human-Skrull coexistence by Gravik, his own daughter, and his close friend Fury. In the end, the idea that humans will violently react to Skrulls is proven correct, as President Ritson, despite Talos saving him at the cost of his own life, declares Skrulls must be be wiped out. This sparks a series of chaotic vigilante murders that end up with actual humans being killed under the assumption that they are Skrulls. Sonya and Gi'ah agree to work with each other for the other species' benefit, but rather than the genuine friendship between Fury and Talos, this cooperation is born of cold pragmatism. | |

Voodoo Shark | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_41a894d2 | comment |
Voodoo Shark: This show reveals that the reason Nick Fury was such a successful Spymaster during the Infinity Saga was because he had Talos, Soren, Gravik and a number of other Skrulls working for him in the shadows during that time, who helped him rise the ranks in S.H.I.E.L.D. This however brings into question why the Skrulls were absent and/or unable to help with major issues in previous entries, particularly the rise of HYDRA within S.H.I.E.L.D. Ever since the ending of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the fate of Ava Starr / Ghost has been left uncertain, with people not even knowing whether she escaped or how the five-year Snap period affected her. This show reveals that due to her DNA being part of The Harvest, she was supposedly present at the Battle of Earth during Avengers: Endgame, but this only served to open up even more questions. Namely, how did Doctor Strange know of Ghost's existence so her could portal her to the battlefield? Why is she still MIA if she participated in the fight, and why wasn't she seen amongst the other fighters? And given her status as an unstable intangible being, how was Ghost's DNA even available for Fury to collect? | |

The Stinger of Spider-Man: Far From Home showing Talos and Soren reporting to Fury and asking when he'd be coming back from space was treated as light-hearted. Several years later, it's not so funny now because not only have a lot of Skrulls lost faith in Fury (and Carol Danvers), but Talos (and Fury's own wife) are bearing resentment towards him for staying in space after coming back from the Blip. | |

Here, Maria is shot in the stomach for real by Gravik, dying of her wounds early in the show. | |

Advertised Extra: Everett Ross appears quite a bit in the show's marketing, and even gets an appearance on the show's poster. Not only is he revealed to have been replaced by a Skrull, but said Skrull doesn't even last till the opening credits of the first episode before dying. Furthermore, the real Ross only has a few minutes of screentime at the very end of the show, where he's shown being liberated from New Skrullos by G'iah. Maria Hill is given a similar amount of promotion in the show, but is Killed Off for Real by Gravik at the end of the premiere. | |

Happy Ending Override: Captain Marvel (2019) ended on a happy note with Carol Danvers leading the Skrulls to find a new planet to settle in. This series reveals that 30 years down the line she isn't any closer to actually finding them that planet, with many Skrulls being very angry about this. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In the comics, the Skrulls were Scary Dogmatic Aliens right from the start, and staged a large assault Earth due to their Always Chaotic Evil nature. In the MCU though, the Skrulls have been living on Earth for decades, and as established in Captain Marvel, had to come to Earth as refugees in order to live a life safe from the Kree. This means Gravik's attempt to destroy humanity in order to take over the planet makes even less sense, as the moment the Earth is destroyed, the Kree will discover where the remaining Skrulls are living and can carpet bomb the survivors without much resistance. | |

Fantastic Racism: After Fury saves Ritson, Ritson reveals the truth to the world and publicly pressures Congress to declare all off-world born species as enemy combatants, leading to assassination attempts on Skrulls and suspected Skrulls. Gravik has so much contempt for humans that he deems them inferior to dogs, a non-sapient species, as they can't tell lies the same way humans can. | |

When Ross tries to talk the obviously agitated man down, Prescod attacks him, clearly convinced he's a Skrull. He's right. | |

Artistic License – Military | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: Gravik's attempted attack on Ritson's life is something as simple as having his men shoot a bazooka from a helicopter at the president's convoy. Said convoy is shockingly small for protection of such a major world leader. Additionally, it's unlikely Gravik's forces could have flown an unauthorized helicopter anywhere near Ritson without alerting someone. Furthermore, after Ritson is wounded, he's rushed to a hospital where, again, there's a strangely small number of people tasked with protecting him. At the end, a vigilante murders the British Prime Minister thinking that she's a Skrull, not knowing that she had just been freed from Skrull captivity by simply walking up to her with a gun while's she giving a statement to the press. Unlike Ritson, who did have some protection, there's absolutely no security on the PM. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Gravik strongly suspects that Brogan cracked under torture and gave vital intelligence to his torturer. He is right, but his suspicions are falsely confirmed when they pass by their safehouse to find it swarming with police, which prompts him to direct Pagon to execute Brogan. In actuality, it was G'iah who tipped off the authorities about the safehouse, and what Brogan divulged to Sonya was information about the machine that Gravik has the Daltons building for him. | |

Pacified Adaptation: The comics' Secret Invasion was an Avengers-style Crisis Crossover that had multiple superheroes involved in the conflict against the Skrulls. Here, not only are most of the main characters Badass Normal spy characters or heroic Skrulls, but Nick Fury explicitly shoots down the involvement of the Avengers out of fear of them being impersonated by the villainous Skrulls and being framed for future terrorism. | |

Cerebus Retcon | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_8b67aba7 | comment |
Cerebus Retcon: In Avengers: Endgame, Carol noted she was having to play superhero for countless worlds throughout the universe, which was presented as a valid, sometimes humorous shut-down of other characters (and the audience) questioning why she wasn't around on Earth to help the Avengers against threats like Thanos. The fact that she's spread too thin unfortunately resulted in a growing number of the Skrull population growing disillusioned with her, leading to the show's primary conflict. The Stinger of Spider-Man: Far From Home showing Talos and Soren reporting to Fury and asking when he'd be coming back from space was treated as light-hearted. Several years later, it's not so funny now because not only have a lot of Skrulls lost faith in Fury (and Carol Danvers), but Talos (and Fury's own wife) are bearing resentment towards him for staying in space after coming back from the Blip. | |

Fury even calls him Keller when they're interrogating a disguised Skrull while undercover.

Truer to the Text | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: The Skrulls as depicted in the MCU are treated with a sense of Adaptational Heroism, being presented as victims of the ongoing war with the Kree instead of the Always Chaotic Evil warmongering empire themselves as they were in the comics, and are even actively helping humanity in the modern day. Here, as the trailer indicates, a separate faction of Skrulls have malicious intentions and behave closer to their original depictions as terrifying infiltrators that undermine their enemies. And they even have certain Skrulls in their faction that are infused with superpower genetics, as seen at the end of the second trailer. | |

| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_bcc9f4f7 | comment |
Realpolitik: G'iah and Sonya enter into an arrangement like Talos and Fury, but where the latter were motivated by friendship and loyalty, the former will use each other for the benefit of their respective people because that's the only way to save both. | |

Irony | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: The Russian setting is ironic for three reasons: Russia in the MCU has long engaged in planting sleeper agents in other countries since at least the 1940's. This series is about an outside force infiltrating Russia itself. Russia is not known for its black community; even in Moscow it becomes a Running Joke that Fury draws attention wherever he goes, in direct contrast to the shapeshifters he's up against. Due to the perpetual political unrest between America and Russia, the filming process takes place not in Russia but in England; however the filming process and the invasion of Russia on Ukraine are not related despite wrapping up 4 days after the start of the attack. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Talos and Fury trade call-outs in the second episode. Talos to Fury for Fury basically abandoning his duty and hiding on SABER as soon as he got back from the Blip and Fury to Talos for bringing a million Skrull to live on Earth without telling him. | |

Writing Around Trademarks | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_d4c98786 | comment |
Writing Around Trademarks: Zigzagged in episode 3. Gravik refers to the project to give Skrulls superpowers as "Super-Skrulls", but due to the Fantastic Four still not being introduced in the MCU yet at the time of the series' release, they go with similar powers from other sources. They're already using Extremis for the ability to generate flames in place of the Human Torch, and during the presidential motorcade attack, Gravik utilizes Groot's extending tendrils in place of Mr. Fantastic stretching. In the final episode, Gi'ah uses Ghost's phasing-through-matter ability to briefly go invisible, Korg's stony exterior stands in for The Thing, and it's Captain Marvel's binary form that stands in for Human Torch's flight. She even sprouts Mantis' antennae and commands Gravik to sleep. | |

Spin-Off: The series can be seen as a sequel spinoff to Captain Marvel (2019) and Spider-Man: Far From Home, with the trailer focusing on the former film's supporting characters, Fury and Talos, and following off of the stinger of the latter film, where Talos was filling in for Fury while he was in space, with the trailer opening with Fury's return. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Secret Invasion (2023) / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: S.A.B.E.R. is pretty much the MCU's version of S.W.O.R.D. in the comics, since MCU S.W.O.R.D. is something else. | |

Present Absence: Captain Marvel's absence from Earth since The '90s (and Avengers: Endgame) is deconstructed here, as her lack of progress in finding the Skrulls a home after the events of her solo movie has angered much of the Skrull race, to the point where many of them are now trying to take matters into their own hands on Earth. | |
