Hmmm, so Captain Marvel established the Skrulls aren't evil...and yet here they are committing terrorist acts. This really should have been developed better. At this rate I fully understand the people complaining about this franchise having so many moving parts it becomes hard to keep track and easy to lose interest. Like, we haven't seen the Skrulls since Captain Marvel aside from Talos's and Soren's cameos in Far From Home, and we similarly haven't seen Nick Fury since he was impersonated by the former in FFH. Really this whole episode just confused me, and there are only five more. That's really not enough to recover from this blah start, and apparently it only gets worse from here. I didn't even hate Eternals this much! Not to mention the Skrulls being evil all along feels like playing into right-wing fearmongering too.

Oh and why is Emilia Clarke of all people the villain? Like, I guess I've only seen her previously as Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys, but apparently her character went crazy in the last season of Game of Thrones and that became one of the most derided aspects of it? Why would Marvel want to repeat that? The ideas in this show are hardly all bad, and it's reasonably well-made for what it is and I like Mendelsohn's and Colman's performances (watching this as a fan of Sam Jackson, he's not really bad here but there's nothing special), but oh my.
