Episode 1 is out. Thought I’d get a discussion thread going. Maybe @Hurts can pin it until next week?

I’m quite sad they killed off Hill. I thought we’d get to see more of her in this series. For someone who Fury has trusted for so long, I feel like she hasn’t gotten the screen time she deserved.
Not a bad pilot I think. Intriguing, with some interesting characters. And I’m definitely not sure who’s Skrull.
Rip Hill. She deserved better.
I thought she was going to be the Skrull.
I am a little behind on the films. What do I need to catch up on to understand the first few episodes?
I would suggest Captain Marvel
Ok for a premier. Interested to see where the story goes. Curious where G’iah ends up, had me fooled this episode thinking she was helping Talos.
Oh waaw. If you didn’t watch Captain Marvel, you’re not going to understand who the villain is. If you did watch it, it still kinda throws you in and expects you to remember everything from that 1 movie. They planted a bomb because-- they are evil? Fury was in outer space all this time because-- he “had a crisis of faith”. They don’t ask the Avengers for help because-- it is “his fight”. Looks like I’m one of the few that didn’t enjoy this.
Not calling their friends has always been an issue with MCU plots. It’s just something you have to get past.
They planted a bomb because-- they are evil?
They’re trying to start a nuclear war. They were pretty explicit about it. They’re immune to nuclear radiation. Even their plants are immune.
To quote Pitch Meeting:
This is the world’s most expensive TV show, we can’t help it if the audience hasn’t watched the last episode.
Seriously tho, Fury was in space because Thanos scared the shit out of him and with Tony gone they need some sort of planetary defense.
As for the Avengers… what Avengers? Tony, Natasha, and Cap are gone. Bruce and Clint are disabled. Thor is off-world. No one knows how to contact Spider-man. Ant-man and the Wasp perhaps? (I’m still choked they aren’t trapped in the Quantum Realm like that script originally called for.) I will give you Dr. Strange tho… he should absolutely be helping out.
Feels like a rehash of FAWS.
Feels like a bullshit plot to me. The Skrulls have been living on Earth all this time, therefore Earth is their home now whether they like it or not. They also fail to realize that if they destroy Earth then they actually have nowhere to live.
The acting in the MCU is getting worse. SLJ’s acting sucks here. Cobie Smulder’s acting sucks here, especially that horrific ##### scene. Emilia Clarke is like the only well acted one here.
