Gravik, the current leader of the rogue Skrull faction, is a villain originally written for this series acting as an amalgam of high-ranking Skrull characters from the comics (most notably the Skrull princess Veranke and the Super Skrull Kl'rt).
Now, more than thirty years after the events of their cinematic debut, the Skrulls are shown as a disenfranchised people split between those who are looking to survive on Earth and those who are tired of hiding and wish to take the planet as their own by eradicating the human race. Once established as a terrifying threat in the comics for their shape-shifting abilities and desire to fulfill some sense of manifest destiny over Earth in their desire for intergalactic conquest, the events of Captain Marvel shocked audiences by showing the Skrulls as refugees fleeing the warmongering Kree forces. RELATED: Secret Invasion: Have Skrulls Infiltrated Wakanda? How has Secret Invasion changed the MCU so far?Ģ019’s Captain Marvel excellently subverted expectations in the way that it handled the Skrull people. However, one of the main things that set it apart from other projects in recent MCU history is how effectively it establishes Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and his Skrull faction as a horrifying threat. Now that the show is officially halfway into its six-episode run, it is evident that Secret Invasion may not be able to outrun the narrative shortcomings that dragged it down from its first episode. Not only does this episode focus so heavily on the interpersonal conflict that is at the center of any good spy thriller, but it also offers its best characters the chance to play off each other for more than a few minutes at a time.
While it still suffers from some of the same lagging plot issues as its previous two episodes, the series’ official midway point offers even more insight into the mindset of the evil Skrull faction. Episode Three of Marvel’s Secret Invasion is easily the most effective installment of the show that viewers have seen so far.
