As the season’s episodes got shorter and shorter, Secret Invasion director Ali Selim explained why less is more for the Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries. In an interview, Selim said that the shorter episodes were a result of the programme’s “practical evolution,” with Episode 6 of the Disney+ series, “Home,” clocking in at less than 40 minutes in contrast to the usual rambling show finale. Selim explained, “Really, it’s just practical exploration and the practical evolution of a story.” “It’s written one way; actors start performing it, and it becomes something slightly different; when you start filming the performances, it becomes something slightly different; and then, when you go to edit it, you realign yourself.”
Secret Invasion’s first two episodes, “Resurrection” and “Promises,” are 55 and 58 minutes long, respectively. Episodes 3-5, “Betrayed,” “Beloved,” and “Harvest” ran 44, 38, and 39 minutes, respectively, until “Home” came in at 38 minutes. From there, episode lengths got noticeably shorter.Selim claimed that he desired a particular smoothness in the episodes and did not desire any filler to overwhelm the overall story the show portrayed.”I don’t intend to make it seem like real-world film school material, but at the end of the day, you simply watch the edits and think, ‘That’s too lengthy. That lacks emphasis.Looked nice on the paper and sounded well on the set, but at this time it isn’t aiding the plot. Additionally, there is a sense of building up to an explosive conclusion, which in his opinion implies moving quicker rather than bigger and bloated.
Based on the same-named Marvel Comics crossover event, Secret Invasion tells the story of the Skrull invasion of Earth as the extraterrestrial race’s shape-shifters take on the personas of various powerful people to make their presence known. When Selim accepted the position, Marvel had warned him not to study the source material, yet the series diverged from the comic book event in a number of ways. The plot of Secret Invasion eventually failed to engage viewers due to deviations from the comic books, AI-generated credits, and pacing concerns. As a result, the show set an unfavourable record by receiving the lowest Rotten Tomatoes critic score (58%), ever, for an MCU show on Disney+. Additionally, with “Home” receiving a pitiful 11% rating, each of Secret Invasion’s six episodes is among the four lowest-rated single episodes for a Disney+ MCU programme on Rotten Tomatoes. Nick Fury is portrayed in Secret Invasion by Samuel L. Jackson, who also serves as executive producer. The miniseries, which also stars Don Cheadle, Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Emilia Clarke, sets up the events of the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels. The series details Fury’s battles with ageing and tragedy while simultaneously showcasing Gravik’s (Ben-Adir) cruelty as he directs his radicalised Skrull sect’s assault of Earth.
