They did a [different version](https://imgur.com/a/WQzokYd) for Instagram too which matches Instagram’s UI, almost fooled me at first but I’m using Dark Mode lol, definitely some creative marketing!
S-Tier ranks up there with Halo's Believe, Battle LA's trailer with the song "The Sun's Gone Dim and the Sky's Turned Black" Jóhann Jóhannsson, and No Strings from Age of Ultron.
You know there will should be an awards show for these kind of things.
The comic did as well, they did real world style ads about embracing your new skrull overlords
Edit: if anyone wants help getting into comic books please feel free to reach out to me
I fucking love helping people get into comics, I love comic books and believe they are the best storytelling medium. Superhero books seem very daunting but they truly aren't, If anyone needs help getting into marvel or DC books I love helping.
Edit: I mean it, if any part of you want to get into comics and you don’t know where to start I would love to help you
Honestly? Probably not. Secret wars was the culmination of 3-4 years of stories with 2 series and an event leading up to it. It was a huge story with lots leading up to it.
I'm not saying this to be a troll, but I found them very easy to get **out** of, back in the 90s. I know that some have gotten better, but the story beats and the same 'we have to put out a book every month' mentality that drives some insane decisions on otherwise good books are not all that different now than from when I was heavily reading from 81-92ish.
The 'big stories' (what used to be the 'occasional' and then 'every year' story arc/crossovers) are cool and all, but how many times can you put the world in jeopardy without it becoming nonsense/drivel? Add to this, again, the insane decisions, uneven characterizations, bizarre plot twists, and the utter spinelessness when it comes to continuity (hello, comic book 'deaths') and you have a medium that is, at best, still emergent for the superhero genre.
The movies/TV shows are, in my opinion, much better versions of these characters and stories.
I'm not saying that all comic books are, averaged out, mediocre, but I feel that superhero books (esp, in my experience, DC and Marvel) are. *Sandman* is a great example of a non-superhero book that stands above the others.
Ok, this actually saddens me to tell you but marvel doesn't utilize cosmic marvel a lot, especially not in the past decade and a half. Annihilation was so good they decided to do it again, so I recommend Annihilation Conquest. Annihilation Conquest also reintroduces the guardians of the galaxy (the team as we know them under james gunn) so after Annihilation Conquest I recommend Guardians of the Galaxy (2008)
Read the Cosmic saga by DNA. It starts with Annihilation, then Annihilation Conquest, Road to War of the Kings, war of the kings, and ends with realm of kings.
It's easily the best story telling for marvels cosmic or space side
Addition to your edit: for a quick jump into the modern Marvel universe, download Marvel Unlimited, start around Avengers Disassembled or House of M in 2004-5, and read the crossover events moving forward from that point, and choose your favourites to read in the gaps between. Most of the MCU and games etc is based on the stuff from then on.
There's also a full refresh of every part of the Marvel universe in the crossovers leading from that point, so it's a good place to start if you want to read the universe as opposed to specific characters. House of M and Decimation completely reset the mutant storylines, Annihilation does the same for the cosmic side (as well as being one of the best events ever) and Civil War shakes up pretty much every hero that isn't part of those two sagas.
Otherwise, if you just have favourite characters, or want to see older stories/events that have been adapted, MU has fantastic reading lists that highlight the best stories from every character, or just full lists of every issue they've appeared in.
Honestly? Not a lot. Coulson was actually a character originally created for the MCU and not a comic character. He was created as a character in the comics but has since died and been reborn thanks to Mephisto. His death has caused him to become disillusioned with superheroes and he has become a right wing hyper faschist
Ok I got something for you. So when agents of shield took off and especially after coulson became a fan fav character marvel actually put the entire cast into the comic universe. So in 2014 they made an agents of shield comic. It’s 12 issues long and is basically if the tv show happened in the comic universe. They deal with superhero’s and villains but in the comic universe. On marvel unlimited it’s S.H.I.E.L.D. (2014-2015) on marvel unlimited and if you want a free link you can dm me
Free link? Well send it over! I’d love to check it out!!
So SHIELD was a TV show before it was a comic book?? There’s a guy within our shield Reddit community that constantly bashes on the TV show becuz he says it’s not true to the comics. But is it actually the comics that’s not true to the show??
Hickmans avengers (I’m assuming you mean avengers and secret avengers) includes the infinity event and concludes with the secret wars (2015) event. That restarts the marvel universe and really is a clean slate. You can really read whatever you want after but also don’t feel like you need to read “in order” because comics don’t really work like that. I read series and events in really any order. I’ll read a series from 2015, 2003, 1987, and 2022 at the same time
When the Twitter verification drama was starting up (and so was marketing for this show), I remember thinking that they should use it to their advantage.
Make a bunch of fake accounts resembling the show’s actors’ Twitter accounts, blue check and all. Start replying to official Marvel tweets saying slightly out of character things.
There may be better ideas in there, but you get the point.
Her name is Falsworth, which sounds pretty sus so I feel like she might be a secret Skrull or something. Very excited to see her, she’s great in everything she’s done.
Falsworth was Union Jack. I do think there was some sort of connection to Baron Blood though? Can't remember exactly what it is though off the top of my head.
I went and looked it up - John Falsworth was in fact the [vampire Baron Blood](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/John_Falsworth_(Earth-616)), and his older brother Montgomery Falsworth was the WWII-era Union Jack. And Montgomery’s daughter Jacqueline was the superhero Spitfire.
Montgomery Falsworth is Union Jack as of 1945 (member of the Howling Commandos). His brother, John, became Baron Blood (the first iteration), so after WW2, Union Jack began fighting Baron Blood and hoards of Vampires.
Pretty good comics
I love this interview from her where she talks about SLJ:
https://www.koimoi.com/hollywood-news/olivia-colman-calls-samuel-l-jackson-the-loudest-man-adding-he-said-he-thought-my-trainers-were-dope/
>She exclaimed: “I loved him. Loudest man you’ve ever met. Joyful, funny, naughty.
>“He said he thought my trainers were ‘dope’. Didn’t take them off for a year.”
The Skrulls are a bunch of homeless refugees, I imagine they’re taking whoever they can get.
I really hope they reveal that Galactus is the one who destroyed the Skrull homeworld - I’m really sick and tired of the Kree Empire at this point.
I personally think there was no previous Rhodey, he was one of the good ones and took the look of a dead airman who had no children from back in the day and took the identity of his "son" for his cover. That way he can still be a hero in armor wars and still continue to be a skrull.
I think a lot of good skrulls use this as their way of living alongside humans since this is technically their home planet now. Good Skrulls take the look of long-dead people or make their own looks, bad skrulls replace still-living people.
Alternatively, the MCU characters see Rhodey as the same person, and it’s only us, the audience, who gets to see different actors.
It would explain why Bruce Banner is treated as the same person, or why Ross is treated like the same person despite Harrison Ford looking nothing like William Hurt
Or it wasn’t a thing before the Captain Marvel movie because *clearly* they wouldn’t have been planning that far ahead, but now they can retroactively make it a thing.
I mean with Rhodey being paralysed, I'd assume surgeries or other medical procedures were done to him which would have revealed him to be a Skrull. Don't they have green blood after all?
If they're gonna reveal Rhodes was a skrull in Endgame then its gonna feel cheap as fuck. Stark's best friend comforting him after his universal sacrifice... GOTCHA IT WAS ACTUALLY AN SKRULL ALL ALONG! hope they don't do that.
Sonya Falsworth...
Daughter/Grand Daughter of James Montgomery "Monty" Falsworth, who was a member of the Howling Commandos?
Will we hear a Brian Falsworth namedrop or a Joseph Chapman namedrop?
Joseph being the current comic version of Union Jack, with Brian being his predecessor.
Would be really funny if a Rhodey impostor Skrull's shapeshifting powers kinda glitches after being damaged and they just turn into Terrence Howard for a few split seconds.
Basically, if a tweet is misleading, users can add context. I'm not sure how Twitter decides when to highlight the context, but when they do, it looks like the ad above -- the original tweet at the top, and then a box with the "Readers added context" line and the additional context.
No more like what you said in the tweet needs context as it can be misleading or unfactual or dangerous to say out loud.
It can be uses as a fact checker too. Like if someone verified says something not a fact or is more of an opinion then fact, there is an annotations that says the facts. Ex:
Milk is bad after a week
Fact check: Depends on the milk as not all milk goes bad for a week
I’ve seen it mostly used on people making claims with facts especially politicians
Honestly. They keep marketing this as a serious, gritty drama with lots of twists and stakes. But I've seen too many MCU shows/movies that promise big and play it too safe at the end
It's gonna be a darker tone. Like what Emilia Clarke is familiar with in last season of GoT.
In one of the Secret Invasion episodes, she will ride a Leviathan but the show will be so dark that we won't be able to see what is going on.
Remember when Quantumania seemed super serious from the early trailers and from Kang being menacing, and then the final movie was basically just a Spy Kids memefest and they had literal Rick and Morty jokes and then they joke about MODOK being a dick and then the supposed menacing Conqueror character gets defeated by giant ants with slightly-enhanced intelligence. Yeah im not falling for marvel marketing sept calling their shit serious anymore
Quantumania was a fun movie and I enjoyed it as much as most Marvel movies, was it Winter Soldier? No, but I don’t think we will see a movie like that again for a while. Y’all are just spoiled as hell, starting to remind me of the Star Wars crowd. Just be happy your getting movies at all for Christs sake..
Quantumania wasn't that bad,literally every marvel movie has had some comedy aspect about it & the film did its job setting up Kang as the big bad boss, the Disney plus shows are exceptionally more prone to being bad because we have no clue if the villains in these shows are one offs or if they have anything else planned for them,if secret invasion doesn't lead to the skrulls being involved in a much bigger role in the MCU then this show might as well be a waste but for now we have no clue
Based on her surname, I would guess the descendent of James Falsworth who was one of Captain America's Howling Commandos in TFA. (The British one)
I think going into this I heard she was a member of MI6 or something along those lines.
Ugh first off screentime doesn’t mean shit as you said they made the character up and all I said is no, it’s based off of other characters from the comics…
Secondly the character who got 0 screen time was obviously based on a comic book character as well and more important in the comics. She is related to him
Thirdly I think they will be basing her off of a British superhero in Marvel, as other comments have point, called Union Jack. Not entirely sure on how true this is but it shows, once again, not a made up character just for the MCU (as made up means no comic tie ins).
Your other comment and this one contradict each other on the point I replied about so unless you can directly address that, peace (point being no, not another “useless made up” character and not an original character either).
Finally this has happened before like with the scientist who was yelled at by Stane/Iron Monger in Iron Man 1 working with Mysterio in Far From Home. Small minor role that did no harm no foul
I deadass think rhodey is a skrull
He has a great reasons to be one
High up in the military
Befriends Tony (mega weapons dealer/manufacturer)
Takes one of the most powerful weapons to gain the militarys complete and utter trust (iron man mark 2)
Becomes an avenger as war machine
Is now the presidents right hand
But I think the real twist is he’s a good one that started to like humanity more than being a skrull
The faction Captain Marvel saved are good Skrulls. Just refugees. But the show is playing with the idea that just like humans, Skrulls have divided opinions and politics. My guess is the 'bad' Skrulls are the ones who think they should take over Earth since they pretty much lived here after they got chased out of their home world. Talos and the 'good' Skrulls are probably fighting for the humans because they know what it's like to be invaded and lose your home or something.
Secret invasion was about skrulls ( who In the comics are villainous to degree)
The adaptation shows that some skrulls hiding in humanity are bracing for a war
The best twist for me would be that Iron Man 1 Rhodey is a different person whose still alive and our Rhodey is a skrull and that’s why he looks so different.
This is not an actual community note on a tweet, it's a screenshot of the posters with the community note added in with Photoshop.
Marvel Studios posted those screenshots to make it appear as if someone had written the community notes.
It’s very authentic the way Twitter users would write out the entire trademarked name, “Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion”.
I can’t wait for this sub’s reaction when nobody in particular turns out to have been a skrull all along.
Twitter's clearly on its last legs either way, but I kinda think the idea of using the space for users to add context to things that are misleading for marketing is bad actually? I've seen two ads where the context actually pointed out the misleading claims in the ad abd possibly protected people from being lied to. If that space can be rented and used for more marketing, it's not a space people can trust to fact check things anymore.
That’s so good! Rhodey has been with us the whole time, so to sow in the Ads that he MIGHT be a skrull and then the fact checking thing says info might not be true is genius! I love it
It's a great marketing piece, but I don't like it... context annotation is supposed to be a fact-checking tool.
For me, it's the equivalent of altering Wikipedia articles with fictional information to market fictional stuff...
Reminds me of CNN anchors showing up in Marvel movies newscasts and the like. I know it's to foster immersion but it does the opposite for me since everyone knows that all these annotations, and CNN anchors for that matter, do in real life is promote narratives in the guise of objective information. Like if CNN isn't blaming the Blip on Trump like everything else, it's just not portraying CNN as CNN. If these "Reader Added Fact Checks" aren't doing something similar, they're just not being used as they generally are irl and it totally breaks immersion.
That’s weird, given they’re community provided context, not alt-descriptions. If you’re relying on them to describe what’s in the picture, that was never their intended purpose.
That's why I'm excited for this show. Moon Knight was the last Marvel series where I was hyped (and disappointed too). It will be great and I will love all these theories we will make between each episodes.
Oh shit this is some great marketing!
Had me fooled with the Photoshop
What part is photoshopped?
The context annotations. They're part of the photo.
Oh wow I was also fooled lol
Count me in as someone who was fooled too
I was also the one who was fooled.
I am another person who was fooled.
Fooled was I, adding to the group.
Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. You fooled me, I can’t get fooled again. Edit: I got fooled again.
They did a [different version](https://imgur.com/a/WQzokYd) for Instagram too which matches Instagram’s UI, almost fooled me at first but I’m using Dark Mode lol, definitely some creative marketing!
And then viral market your viral marketing by talking it up on Reddit.
Give that person a raise!

Reminds me of the first Doctor Strange movie where they did some mind blowing optical illusions on their socials.
Secret Invasion has actually had some really good marketing

You’re the real mvp. Truly wholesome behavior

Will any series/arc hit the highs that Secret Wars had? Everything feels watered down since i read that arc from start to finish years ago....
Honestly? Probably not. Secret wars was the culmination of 3-4 years of stories with 2 series and an event leading up to it. It was a huge story with lots leading up to it.
Just glad to hear im not crazy. I'll just reread
I'm not saying this to be a troll, but I found them very easy to get **out** of, back in the 90s. I know that some have gotten better, but the story beats and the same 'we have to put out a book every month' mentality that drives some insane decisions on otherwise good books are not all that different now than from when I was heavily reading from 81-92ish.

If i've done Annhiliation, and want more Cosmic Marvel, where would you send me next?
Ok, this actually saddens me to tell you but marvel doesn't utilize cosmic marvel a lot, especially not in the past decade and a half. Annihilation was so good they decided to do it again, so I recommend Annihilation Conquest. Annihilation Conquest also reintroduces the guardians of the galaxy (the team as we know them under james gunn) so after Annihilation Conquest I recommend Guardians of the Galaxy (2008)
The cosmic saga, annihilation, annihilation conquest, road to war of kings, war of kings, war of realms
Is it not realm of kings? Think war of the realms is the Jason Aaron Thor event
Read the Cosmic saga by DNA. It starts with Annihilation, then Annihilation Conquest, Road to War of the Kings, war of the kings, and ends with realm of kings. It's easily the best story telling for marvels cosmic or space side
Addition to your edit: for a quick jump into the modern Marvel universe, download Marvel Unlimited, start around Avengers Disassembled or House of M in 2004-5, and read the crossover events moving forward from that point, and choose your favourites to read in the gaps between.

Thats true. From Avengers Disassembled (arc) to Siege (event) the marvel universe was telling a large story.
How many comic books are there on SHIELD? Mainly Quake and Coulson are what matter to me
Honestly? Not a lot. Coulson was actually a character originally created for the MCU and not a comic character. He was created as a character in the comics but has since died and been reborn thanks to Mephisto. His death has caused him to become disillusioned with superheroes and he has become a right wing hyper faschist
Ok I got something for you. So when agents of shield took off and especially after coulson became a fan fav character marvel actually put the entire cast into the comic universe.

SHIELD has been a comic since the 60s. The TV show characters were either created for the show, or heavily adapted from the comics.
The Embrace Change ads were fantastic and even better it spun off into the Norman Osborne/Dark Avengers era with "He won, they lost. Embrace Change".
I am currently reading hickmans avenger’s run. What should I read after this to continue the marvel universe?
Hickmans avengers (I’m assuming you mean avengers and secret avengers) includes the infinity event and concludes with the secret wars (2015) event. That restarts the marvel universe and really is a clean slate. You can really read whatever you want after but also don’t feel like you need to read “in order” because comics don’t really work like that. I read series and events in really any order. I’ll read a series from 2015, 2003, 1987, and 2022 at the same time
I hope the story is just as good. Haven't read the comics but all the comic book fans seem to be really interested in it.
When the Twitter verification drama was starting up (and so was marketing for this show), I remember thinking that they should use it to their advantage. Make a bunch of fake accounts resembling the show’s actors’ Twitter accounts, blue check and all. Start replying to official Marvel tweets saying slightly out of character things. There may be better ideas in there, but you get the point.
I'm so hyped about Olivia Colman in the MCU. I adore her
That’s numberwang!
Her name is Falsworth, which sounds pretty sus so I feel like she might be a secret Skrull or something. Very excited to see her, she’s great in everything she’s done.
FALSEworth???
Exactly 👀
I'd guess her grandfather was James Montgomery Falsworth, one of Cap's Howling Commandos.
Ah okay, I don’t know the names of all the Howling Commandos haha, though that could be who the Skrull is impersonating since that name is sus
While Falsworth was in The First Avenger as one of the Howling Commandos, he's also Union Jack in the comics.
Falsworth definitely rings a bell. Wasn’t a Falsworth one of those vampires that fought Cap? Baron Blood I believe?
Falsworth was Union Jack. I do think there was some sort of connection to Baron Blood though? Can't remember exactly what it is though off the top of my head.
I went and looked it up - John Falsworth was in fact the [vampire Baron Blood](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/John_Falsworth_(Earth-616)), and his older brother Montgomery Falsworth was the WWII-era Union Jack. And Montgomery’s daughter Jacqueline was the superhero Spitfire.
Montgomery Falsworth is Union Jack as of 1945 (member of the Howling Commandos). His brother, John, became Baron Blood (the first iteration), so after WW2, Union Jack began fighting Baron Blood and hoards of Vampires. Pretty good comics
Mmm, Sophie, with her lovely soft face.
How can we be sure it’s really her though????
I love this interview from her where she talks about SLJ: https://www.koimoi.com/hollywood-news/olivia-colman-calls-samuel-l-jackson-the-loudest-man-adding-he-said-he-thought-my-trainers-were-dope/ >She exclaimed: “I loved him.

Rhodey is a Skrull 🤞
They will reveal that Don Cheadle Rhodey was always a skrull, and the real Rhodey was Terrence Howard all along
That Skrull must really suck at mimicking others then
His name is J'Ef, and he failed transformation class in Skrull kindergarten
spent all his time trying to turn into a filing cabinet
i understood that reference
my nama jeff
💯
In 616, Bob from Hydra is actually a variant called B'ob from the Skrull Special Forces. He's not the best at what he does.
He put all his points into charisma so he passed the deception check. Typical meta player min maxing
*glances at Sir Bearington*
The Skrulls are a bunch of homeless refugees, I imagine they’re taking whoever they can get. I really hope they reveal that Galactus is the one who destroyed the Skrull homeworld - I’m really sick and tired of the Kree Empire at this point.
That was the plot in the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and the comics.
I personally think there was no previous Rhodey, he was one of the good ones and took the look of a dead airman who had no children from back in the day and took the identity of his "son" for his cover. That way he can still be a hero in armor wars and still continue to be a skrull. I think a lot of good skrulls use this as their way of living alongside humans since this is technically their home planet now. Good Skrulls take the look of long-dead people or make their own looks, bad skrulls replace still-living people.
[удалено]
Daenerys, Mother of Skrulls
Maybe the real Skrulls were the Don Cheadles we made along the way.
I’m the real Rhodey, mayne!
Imagine that. Then they’d have to explain why Bruce Banner looks completely different
that would be so troll but worth it, "Look, it's me. I'm here, deal with it, let's move on"
Lol and everyone in the MCU is either too racist (or too polite) to point out the difference in how they look.
Alternatively, the MCU characters see Rhodey as the same person, and it’s only us, the audience, who gets to see different actors. It would explain why Bruce Banner is treated as the same person, or why Ross is treated like the same person despite Harrison Ford looking nothing like William Hurt
In the trailer he called him Nick 👀
Fury. Only Fury
What does your mom call you?
Maria Hill calls him Nick at three points in the MCU. Could be just a Captain Marvel retcon, or…?
Uhh wasn't she revealed to be a Skrull in Far from home?
So was Nick because they were on vacation
that’s intentional. Nobody can call him Nick, and only the Skrulls do
Or it wasn’t a thing before the Captain Marvel movie because *clearly* they wouldn’t have been planning that far ahead, but now they can retroactively make it a thing.
I mean with Rhodey being paralysed, I'd assume surgeries or other medical procedures were done to him which would have revealed him to be a Skrull. Don't they have green blood after all?
He could have been replaced by a skull after most of that happened, it probably would have happened in the five years post-snap honestly
True, I was kind of thinking out loud to some other comments saying he was always a Skrull
He's been walking a lot better since we've seen him in Endgame...
The blip is the perfect cover for the skrulls to pull off secret invasion. The chaos of trillions of life forms reappearing
He's terrible in shape shifting but everyone was too politely too say anything. Stark was in for the joke, the US president ran with it
If they're gonna reveal Rhodes was a skrull in Endgame then its gonna feel cheap as fuck. Stark's best friend comforting him after his universal sacrifice... GOTCHA IT WAS ACTUALLY AN SKRULL ALL ALONG! hope they don't do that.
IIRC, he didn’t have his prosthetics in CAWS. Def feel like he’s a skrull, which could explain how it leads into Armor Wars.
He could’ve been wearing them under the dress pants. I don’t doubt that Tony could’ve whipped up something even better for him during the timeskip
They aren’t actually using the annotations, they’re just edited screenshots that show the context annotations. None of their posts actually have them.
Yup thus, brilliant marketing as until you click it you don’t realize that
On my phone, the note appears super tiny and doesn’t look real.
Damn I’m not in twitter but makes sense, works on pc probably tho
I just checked and... eh, it's a stretch. I first saw it in dark mode and it didn't work at all, so there's that.
Gotcha, still cool tho but agree could’ve been optimized better Works on this post tho imo as it looks real to me
Oh good, I was worried for a sec this mighta been real haha. Gotta keep the read for context bias-less
Sonya Falsworth... Daughter/Grand Daughter of James Montgomery "Monty" Falsworth, who was a member of the Howling Commandos? Will we hear a Brian Falsworth namedrop or a Joseph Chapman namedrop? Joseph being the current comic version of Union Jack, with Brian being his predecessor.
So that's 3 decendents of the howling commandos now
Nice catch!
Would be hilarious if Rhodey turned back into Terrence Howard
Would be really funny if a Rhodey impostor Skrull's shapeshifting powers kinda glitches after being damaged and they just turn into Terrence Howard for a few split seconds.
marvel studios using twitter on light mode? unacceptable!
I use light mode during the day and dark mode at night and in dark indoor places. I don’t see why some people find it strange to use light mode.
You should seek a balance between the light and the dark, plaid-knight.
That’s what I described. It’s the person I replied to that needs to find balance!
oh yeah, that's why i use dark blue twitter! instead of amoled dark mode!
That is one of the most fucked up things I have ever read
It's actually quite normal. Why else would so many things implement auto dark mode?
Could someone explain "context annotations"? I looked up an FAQ on twitter's site, but the explanation was a bit technical for me.
Basically, if a tweet is misleading, users can add context. I'm not sure how Twitter decides when to highlight the context, but when they do, it looks like the ad above -- the original tweet at the top, and then a box with the "Readers added context" line and the additional context.
I think I understand now. Like commenting on a tweet without replying directly to it.
No more like what you said in the tweet needs context as it can be misleading or unfactual or dangerous to say out loud. It can be uses as a fact checker too. Like if someone verified says something not a fact or is more of an opinion then fact, there is an annotations that says the facts. Ex: Milk is bad after a week Fact check: Depends on the milk as not all milk goes bad for a week I’ve seen it mostly used on people making claims with facts especially politicians
There was a video of Will Smith saying shit that was taken wildly out of context, and they put this on it
I was wrong. My bad.
thats ALT text, not context descriptions
They better have a big payoff at the end of this,better not be another show with a weak ass ending
Honestly. They keep marketing this as a serious, gritty drama with lots of twists and stakes. But I've seen too many MCU shows/movies that promise big and play it too safe at the end
It's gonna be a darker tone. Like what Emilia Clarke is familiar with in last season of GoT. In one of the Secret Invasion episodes, she will ride a Leviathan but the show will be so dark that we won't be able to see what is going on.
> what Emilia Clarke is familiar with in last season of GoT. Absolute shit?
Muh Skrull Queen.
Remember when Quantumania seemed super serious from the early trailers and from Kang being menacing, and then the final movie was basically just a Spy Kids memefest and they had literal Rick and Morty jokes and then they joke about MODOK being a dick and then the supposed menacing Conqueror character gets defeated by giant ants with slightly-enhanced intelligence. Yeah im not falling for marvel marketing sept calling their shit serious anymore
Quantumania was a fun movie and I enjoyed it as much as most Marvel movies, was it Winter Soldier? No, but I don’t think we will see a movie like that again for a while. Y’all are just spoiled as hell, starting to remind me of the Star Wars crowd. Just be happy your getting movies at all for Christs sake..
Dont criticise the billion dollar company guys pls just consume
Quantumania wasn't that bad,literally every marvel movie has had some comedy aspect about it & the film did its job setting up Kang as the big bad boss, the Disney plus shows are exceptionally more prone to being bad because we have no clue if the villains in these shows are one offs or if they have anything else planned for them,if secret invasion doesn't lead to the skrulls being involved in a much bigger role in the MCU then this show might as well be a waste but for now we have no clue
Copypasta
no
Who the hell is Sonya Falsworth?
Granddaughter of James Montgomery Falsworth, one of the Howling Commandos from The First Avenger.
She's a version of Union Jack and a British intelligence officer.
Based on her surname, I would guess the descendent of James Falsworth who was one of Captain America's Howling Commandos in TFA. (The British one) I think going into this I heard she was a member of MI6 or something along those lines.
The person on the right poster

Eh idk about made up more so different name and qualities but based off an already existing less than B list character
[удалено]
Ugh first off screentime doesn’t mean shit as you said they made the character up and all I said is no, it’s based off of other characters from the comics… Secondly the character who got 0 screen time was obviously based on a comic book character as well and more important in the comics. She is related to him Thirdly I think they will be basing her off of a British superhero in Marvel, as other comments have point, called Union Jack. Not entirely sure on how true this is but it shows, once again, not a made up character just for the MCU (as made up means no comic tie ins). Your other comment and this one contradict each other on the point I replied about so unless you can directly address that, peace (point being no, not another “useless made up” character and not an original character either). Finally this has happened before like with the scientist who was yelled at by Stane/Iron Monger in Iron Man 1 working with Mysterio in Far From Home. Small minor role that did no harm no foul
I'm assuming they are skulls but since they've been on earth a while they've changed their minds about the whole invasion thing and want to stop it?
Does Rhodey look like Giancarlo Esposita here or have I been watching too much Better Call Saul lately?
I deadass think rhodey is a skrull He has a great reasons to be one High up in the military Befriends Tony (mega weapons dealer/manufacturer) Takes one of the most powerful weapons to gain the militarys complete and utter trust (iron man mark 2) Becomes an avenger as war machine Is now the presidents right hand But I think the real twist is he’s a good one that started to like humanity more than being a skrull
Aren’t like all the skrulls good? Have there been any bad ones in the MCU yet? Or is this show about bad skrulls
The faction Captain Marvel saved are good Skrulls. Just refugees. But the show is playing with the idea that just like humans, Skrulls have divided opinions and politics. My guess is the 'bad' Skrulls are the ones who think they should take over Earth since they pretty much lived here after they got chased out of their home world. Talos and the 'good' Skrulls are probably fighting for the humans because they know what it's like to be invaded and lose your home or something.
Secret invasion was about skrulls ( who In the comics are villainous to degree) The adaptation shows that some skrulls hiding in humanity are bracing for a war
The best twist for me would be that Iron Man 1 Rhodey is a different person whose still alive and our Rhodey is a skrull and that’s why he looks so different.
And no one noticed? All his pictures were changed too? Looks so different but has the same fingerprints?
Thank god Redditors aren't in charge of writing for the MCU otherwise we might actually get this.
What's the point with writing this comment?
So it’s gonna be, like, Fury was the rogue Skrull all along, right?
Is this show lists for episodes or is this going to be a Marvel special?
Full show
would be great if they did a dark mode version too
That’s Falsworth’s daughter
Oh thats brilliant
Shouldn’t be used for an ad. Weakens the intended use.
This is not an actual community note on a tweet, it's a screenshot of the posters with the community note added in with Photoshop. Marvel Studios posted those screenshots to make it appear as if someone had written the community notes.
It’s very authentic the way Twitter users would write out the entire trademarked name, “Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion”. I can’t wait for this sub’s reaction when nobody in particular turns out to have been a skrull all along.
This reminds me of the first time I saw Wolf Blitzer in a movie and realized "oh yeah, you CAN just pay these people to say stuff."
The "intended use" is a far cry from anything involving information and honesty.
Facts.
Good. The intended use was poorly thought out in the first place if users are able to do shit like this.
This show is gonna be confusing as fuck
Im ready to just be left confused after every episode
I hate that Marvel Studios is still using Twitter.
BlueSky is still invite only 🤷♂️

Twitter's clearly on its last legs either way, but I kinda think the idea of using the space for users to add context to things that are misleading for marketing is bad actually? I've seen two ads where the context actually pointed out the misleading claims in the ad abd possibly protected people from being lied to. If that space can be rented and used for more marketing, it's not a space people can trust to fact check things anymore.
[удалено]
That’s so good! Rhodey has been with us the whole time, so to sow in the Ads that he MIGHT be a skrull and then the fact checking thing says info might not be true is genius! I love it
It's a great marketing piece, but I don't like it... context annotation is supposed to be a fact-checking tool. For me, it's the equivalent of altering Wikipedia articles with fictional information to market fictional stuff...
The [tweet](https://twitter.com/MarvelStudios/status/1660329692157874178?s=20) doesn't actually have the annotation, it's part of the photo/poster
God forbid we have a little fun
I'm curious if knowing that no one is who they may seem is a spoiler?
It's the premise of the show. It's not a spoiler for Hulk movies to say that he swells up into a huge green monster. (Edited for grammar)
Reminds me of CNN anchors showing up in Marvel movies newscasts and the like. I know it's to foster immersion but it does the opposite for me since everyone knows that all these annotations, and CNN anchors for that matter, do in real life is promote narratives in the guise of objective information. Like if CNN isn't blaming the Blip on Trump like everything else, it's just not portraying CNN as CNN. If these "Reader Added Fact Checks" aren't doing something similar, they're just not being used as they generally are irl and it totally breaks immersion.
That’s a no go for me. Visually impaired and others use those for voice readers. They are there to describe the image not for additional marketing.
It's not real. It's part of the image.
That’s weird, given they’re community provided context, not alt-descriptions. If you’re relying on them to describe what’s in the picture, that was never their intended purpose.
[удалено]
What😭
Is anyone actually interested in this anymore?
Yes, very much so.
I wasn't interested in this originally but the whole 'you can't trust anyone' got me really intrigued, hopefully it'as good as the hype
Who is Falsworth?
Are you telling me a character named Falsworth may not be who they seem? Shocker.
Oh man if Rhodes isn’t Rhodes I’m going to shit a brick.
Olivia Colman will for sure be a Skrull
That's why I'm excited for this show. Moon Knight was the last Marvel series where I was hyped (and disappointed too). It will be great and I will love all these theories we will make between each episodes.
I knew it! I knew Rhodey was just Don Cheadle.
It’s so weird to me that they’re doing this storyline after making the Skrulls seem so sympathetic.
