Secret Invasion 1.01

Marvel’s Secret Invasion

1.01: Resurrection

Having played the Skrulls against type in Captain Marvel, Secret Invasion has to bring in a new (and still sympathetic... in intent) faction to have shapeshifting villains threatening to take over the world.

It pulls two of the most obvious tricks in the setup in episode one, which gets them out of the way nicely.

Russia. Because it has so many derelict nuclear power stations, but still, Russia.

The credits are a nice use of machine learning animation, but still machine learning animation.

Olivia Colman being Olivia Colman-y while still sinister.

Keeping templates alive. How Zygon.
