Ok so the second Secret Invasion trailer is now out and throughout this video we're gonna
be breaking down the brand new look, talking about the easter eggs, hidden details and
also giving our theories on what could be happening in the show.
I recently re-read the run and it's a far cry from the political thriller that we see
in this series.
Featured heavily around the Avengers this had a monumental knock on effect with the
rest of the Marvel Universe.
This happened at a point in which they were at the lowest in the aftermath of Civil War.
Tony Stark was tricked into thinking he may be a Skrull and we found out that several
of the species had infiltrated the ranks of the Marvel universe.
Bloody Jarvis is one.
In the MCU it's coming off the back of the snap and it could be argued that the universe
is at one of it's lowest points as well.
People just dont seem to be as enamoured with the MCU as they used to be and with Marvel
Studios going through a lot of drama behind the scenes this may be the perfect time for
a show like this to come along.
The political thriller seems to be more inline with the Winter Soldier and though it's a
far cry from it's comic book counterpart I think this could be just what we need right
now.
Anyway the first trailer opened with Nick Fury returning to Earth which is where he
reunited with Maria Hill.
If you cast your mind back to Far From Home then you'll remember that he was offworld
for some time with Talos and his wife masquerading in his and Maria's place.
We discovered that he'd been avoiding Earth for some time and thus it's difficult to say
whether that was even him at the end of Endgame.
The calls have been going straight to voicemail and Nick Fury has been ghosting everyone to
make up for Spider-man ghosting him.
Who knows, this series we might even find out who Spider-man actually is as he's the
only hero in the MCU that we don't know the secret identity of.
Fury looks downtrodden and beaten and it could show how long he's been off-world.
This idea of him being called back to earth for serious reasons is of course reminicent
of why Captain Marvel had to return to and in order to be called back there has to be
something serious going on.
Mans even arming up his wife who we know will be played by Charlayne Woodard.
He's even coming back to see the wife so it must be important like hitting the subscribe
button on a channel that occasionally posts alright videos.

Now we start off the new look very much building off the back of the previous trailer with
him walking through the woods.
Theres a number of things that this could be too such as a secret shield facility or
one of his many hideouts.
Looking at the rest of the trailer and the clothes he has though I think this might actually
be to the tombs that we see later.
Though he also goes to one of his gravestrones he's wearing a grey hat and a slightly different
coat.
In both these shots he's wearing a purple one possibly linking them together.
The trailer also ends with him walking out of that so they might be bringing it full
circle from the beginning and showing the beginning and end of that scene.
We then get Talos saying that things have been getting much worse since he's been gone.
It's actually difficult to tell how long this has been for and it is possible that he disappeared
completely after the events of winter soldier and him returning to Earth is his first time
back on the planet.
Really difficult to tell and though it has been said he came back for Endgame we just
don't really know.
Now from here we cut to Moscow and see the Kremlin.
This is then attacked by Kingsley Ben Adirs character and we know that he will be called
Grvick.
Judging by how his arms change later on it's possible that he's a super skrull and I'm
guessing that he's gonna be the leader of the group.
Or is he.
Well I think hes the face at least and they could definitely pull it where they propr
him up as the bad guy and then reveal that its actually one of the characters that we
trust.
Either way this is clearly the face that the skrulls have chosen to wear when they are
carrying out their attacks.
Due to them being shapeshifters it is possible that these are all different skrulls but they
want to appear as this one man in a similar way to say a group how Anonymous all wear
the V for Vendetta Masks.
We actually see Maria in the middle of this attack and its possible that this kick starts
the season and then this is why she reaches out to Nick.
I'm guessing in this they realise that it's skrulls and then Fury finds out about it which
is why he returns to Earth.
Now Rhodey being brought in is a big addition to the show and for years now people have
suspected that he's a Skrull.
It's been a theory time that people have had for over ten years now and if you go back
and look at what the character looked like in the first Iron Man, you may notice that
there's something slightly different about him.
Yep that's right, he has a moustache but him not having one after that movie could show
that he may have been switched out with a Skrull.
Though the ones we met in Captain Marvel were friendly, in the comics theyve pretty much
always been badguys and they could be attempting to shift them back to being villains for the
rest of the saga.
Skrulls are refugees and from what we know of the show, there will be some trying to
claim our planet as their own.
This is why they've taken spots in lots of leadership positions and have started to replace
our leaders with their own.
It's something they did in the comics too and it gave them access to technology and
weapons.
Just like how Hydra infiltrated Shield we now have an alien invasion happening in the
US government.
There's very much a cold war going on on the planet and in opposition to this we have MI13.
Based in the Uk, this secretive entity deals with paranormal and supernatural activity.
It's Englands answer to Shield and the organisation probably know Fury due to him being the ex
director.
The head of it will be played by Olivia Coleman and we know that she will be called Sonya
Falsworth.
I'd love it if it was revealed that she was a Skrull as well and this would add an extra
dimension to everything.
We already have division in them as we have Talos on one side and the resistance sect
that are trying to take over things.
We know that the character actually has roots in the marvel universe too and shes actually
the descendant of James Montgomery Falsworth aka Union Jack.
Anyway this will all be going down in London which is where Fury meets up with her.
We then see them travelling out to his grave and you might notice that this is actually
a different one to the one at the end of Winter Soldier.
The inscription in that was a reference to Pulp Fiction whereas this reads.
-
Potentially the real fury is dead and this guy is also a Skrull.
Nah I think whats most likely is that this is out in England and they may have faked
his death with MI13 as well.
We can also see from the tomb site that he uses graves as a place to hide things out
at so potentially this is a literal dead drop that has his equipment.
We then cut to the indoor site and can see that there is a wolf emblen on it.
This is lit up showing that its activated whereas in the next shot when he arms up its
powered down.
S**t easter egg but just being thorough mate.
-
Next we cut to the characters walking through the cityscapes and we hear about the secret
wars fought in the shadows.
We can see Ben Mendelhsons Talos saying something and I'm guessing this is an exposition dump
to catch us up on whats happened since he's been away.
Now Everrett Ross will be returning as well.
He's of course on the run after the events of Wakanda Forever and now he's lying low
after being double crossed by his ex wife.
It's always the bloody wives.
Ross being revealed to be a skrull would be a big thing for the series and he is the kind
of character that I imagine them to pull this kind of twist on.
They need kinda these names where it's gonna be a shock but its not gonna retroactively
destroy everything and he fits the mould pretty well.
Man was married to a high ranking US government official and he became one himself making
him the ideal candidate to become a Skrull himself.
From here we get an overhead shot of a convoy and this is following on from the same one
that is later shot at by the helicopter in the trailer.
We know that Emilia Clarkes character will be there too and she seems to be slumped over
a body.
Potentially this is Talos and it may be a big moment in the show in which he dies.
Now as for Emilia Clarke, there's actually be alot announced since the last teaser.
Disney have come out and told us exactly who she's gonna and we now know that she is going
to be Gi'ah.
This is a character who pulls from the comics and in that she and her fellow agent Klrr
lived on earth and had a family.
One of their daughters was taken by Project Blossom and there was a big thing with them
in the comics.
Gi'ah posed at pepper potts at one point and she has quite a big history with the skrulls
in the source material.
In the show though this is actually going to be Talos' daughter.
First introduced in Captain Marvel we of course met Monica Rambeau in that as well so we've
seen these two kids grow up off the back of that.
It's even possible that Gi'ah was the skrull we met at the end of Wandavision and this
would tie her in with meeting her after seeing her mother when she was younger.
That's kinda why I think she's leaning over the body of him and if Talos is taken out
then it means his list of allies is getting smaller and smaller.
Later on in the teaser we see him badly injured and that sort of looks like ablack vehicle
behind him, potentially linking these two moments up.
Now after this shot we see several bodies on beds seemingly in hibernation.
This is a room that Gi'ah came across in the first trailer and we see the follow on from
this with her looking over them.
My guess is that she's discovered a place that is potentially holding the world leaders
who have been replaced by skrulls and we may come across some of the characters we know
here.
I was thinking that the skrulls may be sucking the dna out of them to make duplicates but
Skrulls can shapeshift without taking a persons DNA so I'm not sure if they'd need to do that.
Sonya then asks if Fury feels responsible and this is likely because he helped the skrulls
initially on earth, f**ked off and now theyve thrown a revolution.
Now the Secret Invasion comic storyline was a major event spanning several books.
In it we picked up in the aftermath of Civil War and Nick Fury discovered that Valentina
Allegra De Fontaine was one.
They could do this with her in the MCU too and it might explain her sudden turn against
Everett.
However I am leaning more towards him being one over here.
Anyway Fury went into hiding after discovering the truth and he ended up sending his best
agent Spider-woman into shield to spy on things.
She was revealed to be a skrull herself though and potentially this could be taken over by
Maria in the show.
We knw a Skrull has posed as her before and maybe she's been one all along.
Now when this was going on Tony was in charge of Shield after the events of Civil War.
This is why the Skrulls tried to convince him that he was actually a skrull and it almost
worked.
In the end they launched their attack over the savage land and in New York.
Several characters were revealed to be the shapeshifters including Hank Pym, Jarvis,
Mocking bird, Dum Dum Dugan and of course Spider-woman.
Though the heroes won in the end, national security was never the same and it held major
rammifications for groups refusing to come together down the line because no one knew
who to trust.
Now in the trailer we then cut to what I believe is Paris.
We see someone walking the streets and then A Paper from the Globe discussing the battle
of new york.
We hear a voice asking where the avengers are and at this point they are very much a
fractured group.
Spider-man is back to being your friendly neighbourhood one, Iron Man is Dead and Steve
Rogers is being President Joe Biden.
Now when then see Kingsley Ben Adirs character from behind and he walks into a room with
a giant device in the middle.
Guessing this is your sort of macguffin world ending device thing that the villains have
their hands on.
We later on see an abandoned powerplant and I'm guessing that this could be where they're
located at.
This could be in Russia as well cos...stereotypes.
At one point Gravik hits fury when theyre both standing inside of this so this may be
where a lot of things go down at.
Nick Fury is very much talking about going off on his own and we see how alone this is.
I love the shot when he's stopped in a corridor and you know I keep saying everyone is a skrull...but
these guys have to be skrulls innit.
Gi'ah says that they Skrulls have something planned for him and going back to the comics
they basically wanted to replace him and get access to all the security measures on earth
that he had.
This would allow them to truly rule over the planet and they'd not really have anything
stopping them from taking over.
Nick Fury promised that he'd find them a place to live but he's very much forgotten about
them and thus they've started to put things in place to take our planet for their own.
-
Now in this part of the trailer we see a suitcase which has a damage control logo on it.
They've of course popped up in the MCU quite a lot recently and we can tell from this that
they've obtained a specimen of something.
This might be skrull dna and it could potentially allow humanity to detect skrulls in advance.
We then see Sonya going to torture someone and Gravik look out of a murky window, potentially
at the abandoned factor from before.
After this we have a rooftop chase and also lots of action scenes.
We also get a moment where I believe Nicks wife might be standing behind Gi'ah but let
me know what you think.
Anyway we close out the trailer with more action before Fury finally walks out on his
own.
He's very much fighting this battle by himself and we're gonna finally see if the man truly
lives up to the legend.
Anyway that's the trailer and as for my thought I am very excited for this.
Though it massively seems to be differing from the comic I think if it's in the same
vein as Winter Soldier that it'll still be really strong.
If you've watched my Disney Plus show breakdowns then you'll know that I've had my criticisms
of the MCU releases but this could end up being something special.
Samuel L Jackson is obviously a massive star and hopefully they're putting the work in
to deliver something worth him stepping onto the small screen for.
