True. But fury literally was the one guy who had them all on speed dial. He created the avengers. I get the suspending belief to watch certain flicks, but I guess this one was just a step too far - I mean World War III threatens and fury’s excuse is “I gotta do it myself!” Just too far down the disbelief spectrum for me.
Plus I am thinking, if I am Fury and I fail, who else knows what's happening?
Exactly You have to have a high level of suspension of disbelief, but we need much better writing to justify said suspension. "Uh, because" ain't a good enough reason. The writers on this show suck.
Well after Avengers it seemed like they all had each other on speed dial. It would just be so easy to pick up a phone and call for help on any of these standalone movies. Most of those movies build up the bad guy to be a major bad guy. Well if he was really that major? Where is everyone else?!!?!? Yeah...I just shut that off or I couldn't enjoy them.
Right, that's the basic suspension of disbelief you kind of have to have in place...but then they use such a horrible line in Secret Invasion, and it pulls you (or me) right back into disbelief.
Plus this is nothing like the comics Secret Wars aside from the very basic part of the premise. Which makes it even harder to believe they wouldn't call someone. Secret Wars from what I remember had heroes coming in and out (Avengers, X-men, Fantastic 4). When it was announced I figured they couldn't do it like the comics because it would be too expensive. However, I figured they would do more (at least a few cameos). They should have just saved this for a major movie because using only the basic premise almost guaranteed a disappointment.
I think you nailed it! Follow the money....
Sounds about right. This was garbage with very predictable/ho hum resolutions.
You got out at the right time. Well, the only way to come out better was to never start lol
Olivia Coleman. She elevated this show more than it deserved. She might be my favorite actress right now.
She is nails.
