The final episode of the Disney+ seriesSecret Invasionis up and running, and while it answers some questions on the Skrull side of things, it chooses to stay from the bigger questions – when were Colonel Rhodes and Everett Ross replicated? And did Nick Fury come back to Earth just to tackle Gravik? What about the impending human-Skrull war?
A lot could have been achieved with the massive budget that Disney put into the show, but as the finale is out, it looks like the $200M just went down the rabbit hole considering the series is rewarded with the lowest ratings so far for any MCU show.
Emilia Clarke’s powerful on-screen presence brought some respite from a rather unbearably bland storyline that tries to build up into nothing.
The final episode, though, gave Clarke a much-needed reward, but she couldn’t save the series as it desperately tried to focus on Nick Fury’s redemption through events that revolved around characters that didn’t serve the greater agenda.

The official on-paper budget for the current box office hits –OppenheimerandBarbieare $100M respectively and even with double,Secret Invasionmissed out on the biggest opportunity it had.
Siding with the rebel Gravik who is bent on making planet Earth the new Skrullos,Emilia Clarke’s shift over toSamuel L. Jackson‘s Nick Fury wasn’t written too well.
Given her formidable acting chops, the story landed her in a position where she couldn’t become part of the higher stakes and had to be the sidekick until the finale.
Not justSecret Invasion,Emilia Clarke often tends to be a part of franchises that jinx her character enough to sink it after the glory.

Not to mention,Game of Throneshad Emilia Clarke transform into the mother of dragons, but the showrunners brought her toward a fatal end and the finale is registered as the most absurd ending to a show.
Her character Qi’ra suffered the same fate inSolo: A Star Wars Storyas the story struggled to connect with the audience due to its lapses in setting up an origin tale and forming a part of the largerStar Warsuniverse.
The film finished up just under $400M worldwide, whereasRogue One: A Star Wars Story,being a spin-off, managed to accumulate over $1 Billion.
Secret Invasion’sevents weren’t put together well enough for Emilia Clarke to actually shine as G’iah, and after the low ratings, it is highly unlikely that Disney would push for a second season.
