The final episode of Marvel's Secret Invasion fails to embellish the overall package and surprisingly leaves many doors open.

promised us Nick Fury had a plan to end Gravik's reign of terror once and for all, and the finale gets straight to the point after a short"just in case" goodbye to Varra. He gets into the villain's irradiated compound taking no prisoners, but resistance seems to be minimal, as the Skrull refugees and most of the remaining soldiers have been moved elsewhere.

We had already mentioned this before, but it's an issue that kept popping up throughout the season. Secret Invasion plays things too safe to ever become a compelling action thriller, and the information is constantly laid out in the most straightforward way possible. As a direct result, cooking up surprises and"gotcha" moments worthy of 007 and Mission: Impossible flicks is impossible.

Gravik now has access to the Avengers and other mighty beings' powers, but so does G'iah, who we all knew was the only character in the show with a chance at beating the Skrull tyrant. Their final duel had been set up perfectly after she was shot and her father died, too. At this point, the finale embraces the punchy and flashy Marvel DNA we've come to expect from traditional projects.

As for the situation with President Ritson and the missiles that could start WW3, fake Rhodey is outplayed and promptly shot in the head by Fury, which instantly reveals he was telling the truth about the Skrull conspiracy. A new global crisis is deactivated… for now.The final stretch of the episode is head-scratching to say the least.
