Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion made many mistakes. Among the writing, storytelling, CGI, and many other things. However, the show that focused on the ex-Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. never made an Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. reference in any way shape or form? Seeing Coulson, Daisy, or May, even if it was just a cameo would've been amazing. Nonetheless, having the guy from Black Widow be the cameo in the show, is disappointing. Also, they killed off Maria Hill.

Well it's not so much of an idea... as it is a dodgeball cannon!
Oh wait…..
But what about all of the Inhumans that showed up in the movies following their sudden worldwide emergence in AOS?!?! Pretty cool, huh?
What? The movies made not even a single mention of that? Huh. Ok, I guess.
Oh but there’s Ms. Marvel who not only had her own show on Disney+, she also showed up in two films! You’re right! AOS is part of the MCU!
…….She’s not an Inhuman? They imply she’s a mutant instead? Do they at least mention….NO?!?! Not at all? Weird.
You joke but The Marvels literally shows a [SABER dossier](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/File:Kamala_SABER_File_(Inhuman).png) that makes note of her possible inhuman heritage! Granted, it is a blink-and-you'll miss it reference
God the AOS non-canoners really are a hundred times more annoying than the people who just discuss AOS in good faith
Edit: tale.
This was a cameo which fepw past me completely. This is partially because in both he kind of shows up with little introduction.
Funny how that works. Since Black Widow came out both in cinema and on D+ at the same time.
During Covid.
You must’ve had a mostly empty showroom
You can read a resume on Wikipedia or any wiki about what happens and you already know who Yelena, her father and Taskmaster are if you plan on watching any following movie that continues the story of these characters.
As for the guy, I already forgot who he even was.
I always found the idea that Nat had a secret [Agent Q/black market resources supplier/secret identity dealer/best friend-almost love interest] espionage contact who had never been mentioned before and never again after, really frickin jarring.
A skrull here, skrull there. Nick Fury is a skrull - what? Rhodey is a skrull - what? Shang Chi's sister is a skrull, the wasp is a skrull - slowly let it play out in separate properties until everyone has to come together and figure out what the heck is going on.
That's how they did it in the comics, and it slayed.
It's a story that requires a lot of characters to either die or have their history and contributions to the MCU be ruined for it to work. That's fine for comics where we have lots of different timelines and continuities and decades of different versions of characters. In film, where we only have 1* of each character. Even a quality version of Secret Invasion would still piss off a lot of fans. The juice is not worth the squeeze.
*Yes, I know with the multiverse there's more than one of each character, but there's only one of each character that we actually care about. And that's the character that needs to be ruined for Secret Invasion to work.
Maria Hill could just be alive and kicking somewhere. Rhodey was never a Skrull.
Literally just had this idea occur to me and was going to suggest it.
It would explain a lot:
- Why he physically starts and ends the series in the exact same place. That’s just him being loaded into and out of the simulation.
- Why he seems emotionally detached from everything that happens.
- Why so much of the plot makes absolutely no sense in-universe.
Secret Invasion should have been what Phase 4 built to.
It was a perfect way to work in some of the new faces and also trim some characters that didn’t work.
A phase where Nick Fury was working behind the scenes to unravel a mystery that the rest of the MCU was unaware of would have fit the character and given some respect to his spy roots.
Instead we got the only show that made She Hulk look like cinema
Reader, it was not. And it didn’t help The Marvels even a bit.
You know something has gone horribly wrong when someone who used to go to the movies opening night and watch the D+ content day of release will see the movies maybe opening weekend and has to stop and remember there is still D+ content I haven’t watched. Forget the new stuff, season 2 of Loki and the last two seasons of What If? are still on the to do list. I’m sure they’re all fine, they just don’t feel important or relevant anymore.
Only if the rest of the show weren’t the worst thing Marvel Studios has ever put out.
Having them cameo wouldn’t magically improve the writing. The fewer stories that have to consider the dumpster fire that is *Secret Invasion*, the better.
He had to settle for one movie one TV show.
At no point did the hundreds of people involved go "holy shit guys, this thing we're making, it's bad. Maybe we should shelve this for a while and rework it in the future. I mean... the CGI isn't great, the story is almost nonsensical, the acting is fine, but the dialogue, I mean maybe we can ADR enough of it to save it, but as is it's dogshit. No? We're pushing it out anyways? Ok......"
I also think Daisy and Sousa should have shown up in the Marvels. She could have great chemistry with the other three and be the only one on the team not switching places. She and Sousa are literally exploring space at the end of the show, set up PERFECTLY for the Marvels. Should have at least been on Fury's space station
The first three are AoS characters, the last one was the cameo in Secret Invasion, and he gave Black Widow a quinjet so she and Steve could rescue Team Cap from the Raft, and knows Fury somehow.
