The first five minutes of Secret Invasion have been released, and they look suitably epic, but some well-intentioned if overly familiar words from someone who helped bring the show to life have nevertheless dented the hype for the incoming Samuel L. Jackson vehicle somewhat. Elsewhere, one of the many MCU Phase Five productions affected by the writers strike may already be back on the right track as Disney Plus offers us a moving first look at the next Marvel Studios production to hit streaming.
Secret Invasion is the latest MCU series to fall victim to a streaming trend that needs to end
What’s something we hear time and time again when a new Marvel Studios series is about to drop? That it’s not just a TV show but an extended movie. At this point, it’s inevitable that someone involved in the latest MCU Disney Plus production will drop that dreaded phrase while promoting the thing and, sure enough, Secret Invasion has just been called “a six-hour movie unto itself” by director Ali Selim, proving that Marvel continues to misunderstand that television isn’t the dirty word the studio seems to think it is. Remember when WandaVision celebrated the fact it was a TV show? Maybe do more of that, Marvel.
