Featured review
Betrayed and death
"Betrayed" is the third episode of Secret Invasion, and it is the best instalment of the Marvel show yet. The show started off messy and uneven, but after a much-improved second episode, it seems to have hit its stride. The relationships between the main players gel together and the fraught nature of their history deepens. The episode also has some of the best lighting and composition in the MCU to date. Nick Fury has a wife, who is a Skrull, and their marriage is a mess. Nick has been thought dead for five years during The Blip, and Priscilla (Charlayne Woodard) grieves the loss. After his resurrection, Nick struggles to cope with everything and disappears to SABER to ignore Earth and its problems. He has broken his promise and failed to find a solution to the refugee Skrull problem. Nick's wife Priscilla, despite his loyalty to Talos, has turned to Gravik's rebellion. Nick concedes to Talos, indicating that the Skrulls struggle to fight Gravik's ideology when they partially agree with it. Priscilla is uncertain about her stance on the faction, but time will determine her stance. The Skrulls must continue fighting Gravik's ideology. In the episode of Marvel's Spider-Man, Gravik sets events in motion to prove she is the mole in their midst by forcing Nick and Talos to prevent an attack on a UN airplane from a navy submarine. The episode features a tense series of scenes as Talos blows Giah's cover to save the humans at risk. G'iah appears dead at Gravik's hand by the end of the episode, but it is unlikely they would quickly get rid of Clarke. It is possible that she miraculously survives the shooting, possibly using the Super Skrull machine to protect herself in the future. The episode also ties in with a Black Widow connection in the 90s flashback scene when Priscilla mentions scuppering Dreykov's plans. Rumors suggest Secret Invasion intends to put Black Widow back into the MCU, but it is not yet certain if they will invest in them. Olivia Colman's Sonya continues to be a delight, with her eyepatch after finding Nick's bug and Rhodey being a Skrull. The slow burn of this episode works because the characters are given the breathing room to talk for much of it, a key part of the storytelling craft that has been lacking from other Marvel shows. The intimate scenes between Talos and Nick are important, as their long friendship is the heart of the story and the reason we ended up here in the first place. They are as much of an old married couple as Nick and Priscilla. The MCU thrives when its inhabitants can bounce off each other, skewer each other, and help each other understand the past, present, and future. Secret Invasion delivers a strong performance in this episode, and the back half of the season should benefit from this.
