Episode two begins with a flashback from 1995, with a recap concerning principally Captain Marvel’s first film. After the Marvel Studios intro, we’re quick-forwarded to 1997, in Brixton (London), Fury meets a teenage Gravik for the primary time throughout the Skrulls vs Krees struggle. A mysterious lady introduces them and explains Gravik is an efficient child who has misplaced his dad or mum due to the struggle. The entire idea of this time is the way in which Fury helped Talos and the Skrulls reconstruct their neighborhood, now destructed by the Krees. Gi’ah is only a pre-teen, barely older than after we see her within the film.
Back within the current (no pun meant), we see the chaos the Skrull assault has introduced on people whereas Fury will get taken away by an apparently Russian guard, who seems to be Talos as a substitute. In the following scene, we see Talos on a practice, disguised as a Russian lady, speaking to some Russian guardians looking for Fury (who’s hiding within the practice carriage). During the journey, Fury begins speaking about his childhood… when he and his mom used to take the practice to Detroit, confined to the “colored car” as he describes it, with no rest room working, whereas they couldn’t go to the eating automotive, in order that they introduced meals for themselves and make video games…her fave was: “tell me something I don’t know”. All of this backstory brings up a discourse with Talos. Asking to inform him one thing he doesn’t know in regards to the Skrulls, their destruction, and what occurred to those that fled after they misplaced the struggle. And we discover out, with Fury, that a lot of the Skrulls that fled aren’t again on Earth. Millions of them. Talos complained about how Fury deserted them and disappeared…whereas Fury debated he was nonetheless one name away (which is true, he would’ve deserted S.A.B.E.R. earlier than, if Talos known as. So I agree with Fury 100%). As they cease preventing, Fury asks Talos to go away.
In the following scene, we’re at Maria Hill’s funeral, as her mom touches her coffin, she sees Fury from a distance and runs to him to ask for an evidence about what occurred to Maria. Why she died, what occurred if it was value it? He mentioned they had been in Moscow, and so they killed her to harm him. (I nonetheless assume one thing occurring, however I gained’t say what I take into consideration this for now.) Maria’s mom blames him, saying Maria believed in him, and even when she doesn’t know what her daughter died for she asks him if it gained’t be for nothing.
After this, we see Gravik and Gi’ah within the automotive, speaking in regards to the assault, as she asks about Fury, Gravik tells me he’s simply an previous man, he has no spy abilities left, and he may’ve killed him if he needed to. Gi’ah accompanies him to a Council assembly with some world leaders, to debate what to do with Gravik after what occurred in Moscow, as he murdered people for no cause. Gravik begins talking the Skrulls language and tells them Fury promised freedom to all of them and by no means truly helped. He deserted all of them, so he doesn’t care about people. Says he’ll conquer Earth. One of the obvious world members asks Gravik what’s going to occur if the Avengers come again…and he says he has considered all of it. This brings me to at least one query, perhaps he’s prepared for Avengers, however what if he’s not prepared for different, totally different, extra highly effective superheroes? Much to consider. As all of the council members swear loyalty to Gravik, nominating him as a Skrull basic…we be taught all of the supreme struggle leaders are, as a matter of reality, SKRULLS. We get the invasion is deeper than we initially thought. One of the Skrulls refuses to assist him and runs away from the room, calling Talos to tell him about this sudden change of occasions.
At the Skrulls compound, Gravik will get a standing ovation after what he completed, whereas Gi’ah appears a bit suspicious of every part, and follows considered one of his thugs to a hidden lab, the place two scientists are attempting to make an experiment on one thing unknown known as “the Harvest.” (Which has not been discovered but.) I’ve made some analysis and all I’ve discovered is a Marvel Comics character known as the Harvest however…is it doable? Honestly, I’d like to stay to the present for now, however I’ll learn some stuff about it. They additionally created an vitality area or one thing? I don’t know how one can clarify it nevertheless it jogged my memory of some type of time journey portal. Or an inter-dimensional portal? I don’t know, however I’ve seen it earlier than and I’m VERY inquisitive about it.
It jogged my memory of the Agents of SHIELD’s machine we noticed in season 4A when Robbie Reyes’ uncle bought his powers…and in addition the one Fitz used for challenge wanting-glass. I like these references however at what value? Some individuals even theorize Madame Hydra may very well be behind all this however… who is aware of.
In London, Rhodey will get questioned about Fury and Maria Hill’s presence in Moscow throughout the assaults at an International Summit…at which he will get a name from Fury asking him to fulfill ASAP. They meet at a tavern and begin discussing how Fury’s presence in Moscow simply set a precedent for the star of WWIII. Fury tells Rhodey to watch out and to not belief his guards, as a result of they may very well be Skrulls, and tells him the struggle has began already and he must be protected and helped. I’m truly dissatisfied by Rhodey as a result of, I do know issues have modified, however Fury has ALWAYS been dependable, he created the Avengers, he MADE them, and he managed to run S.H.I.E.L.D. whereas pretending to be useless. I’m truly hoping he was a Skrull as a result of there’s no approach Rhodey handled Fury that approach. Fury isn’t the identical as earlier than the blip, however he’s nonetheless a superb spy. And, as he mentioned to Rhodey, he’s ALWAYS in.
In the following scene, we see Sonya stepping up throughout a Skrull interrogation. I’ve to say she jogged my memory of Peggy Carter lots. And not due to the accent (lol) however the wit, the fashion…she seems to be like a darker Peggy. She injects the Skrull with a compound that begins burning him from the within and begins asking about Gravik. Apparently, these two scientists are engaged on a method to make the Skrulls stronger –– right here’s one other reference to what Leopold Fitz was doing within the framework. Is it a coincidence?
Anyway, after Sonya ends the interrogation, Gravik involves get the Skrull, promising he gained’t damage him. Promise he doesn’t preserve as a result of he kills him within the woods proper after.
At the top of the episode, we see a Skrull cooking in a flowery home, as Nick drives to this home, we be taught the Skrull lady is definitely his spouse. Does he know that? Is she the girl who launched Fury to Gravik within the flashbacks?
