: These six episodes were ultimately a Nick Fury catch-up while serving as a sort of side-quel toand giving a bit of a showcase to actors like Samuel L. Jackson and Don Cheadle who haven’t had the chance to topline their own MCU projects before, without delivering such world-shaking revelations that anyone watchingwill be lost. This is a lot to ask of a single season of TV, especially one that runs the length of maybe two regular movies, or one and a half superhero movies.
Meanwhile, Fury staggers around the radioactive meeting place where he’s meant to face off with Gravik, downing iodine pills, at least until he drops them and Gravik makes sure the balance falls through a grate. Then, in the words of Jackson’s superhero character Frozone, he starts monologuing, ranting about the toll Fury’s killing-heavy assignments — still not really specified, to save the audience the trouble of picturing them clearly! — took on his soul. .
The real Fury, who it turns out has not made revealing and regretful confessions to anyone , is back at the hospital, getting the drop on Skrull Rhodes and finally convincing President Ritson that he should not start a war with the Russians. But Ritson, as it turns out, is still ready for some kind of war, so he affects a bizarre Tony Montana-like posture for a TV address where he announces that off-world visitors to Earth will be considered enemy combatants and be killed on sight .
• Unfortunately, the rest of this section must be used to detail how terrible this episode’s writing is on an almost line-by-line basis. Here’s how Fury explains the Skrull situation to President Ritson: “Skrull rebels have kidnapped dozens of world officials, along with Colonel Rhodes. He, and other world officials, are being kept in pods beneath the Skrull compound.
