'Secret Invasion' Latest Death Was the Worst Decision for the Show
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Secret Invasion Episode 4. Another week, another episode of Secret Invasion that kills a pivotal character to underline how dangerous the main villain Gravik can be. Unfortunately, this time, the series has completely missed the mark, backing itself into a narrative corner. That’s because, by offing Talos , Secret Invasion has lowered the story’s emotional stakes while getting rid of one of the main reasons to watch the show.
While we can understand Talos receiving a heroic death to help move Secret Invasion’s plot, no one was ready to say farewell to the Skrull warrior so soon. Over the past four episodes, Talos has been forced to confront the fact he failed as a Skrull general by putting his loyalty to Fury above the needs of his people. In addition, by constantly asking the Skrulls to be patient about the future, Talos created the power vacuum Gravik occupied with his destructive ideals.
By following Rhodes, Fury and Talos get involved in a shootout between the US President’s security detail and Gravik’s forces, disguised as Russian extremists. Gravik wanted to kill the President and blame the Russians, a sure way to get those nuclear missiles flying everywhere. Thanks to Fury and Talos' intervention, Gravik’s plan fails.
After G’iah, ‘Secret Invasion’ Can No Longer Fake Death At the end of Episode 3, Gravik shoots G’iah in her heart after discovering she’s the mole leaking information about the terrorists' operations. The shocking death gets reversed in Episode 4, when we find out G’iah now possesses the healing powers of Extremis.
