Secret Invasion SPOILER thread! Beyond this sentence, be warned. This is a SPOILER thread where untagged spoilers are okay.
Ballsy beginning, right?

Exactly! IIRC, the original series IIRC kicked things off with ****ing ELEKTRA being revealed as a Skrull. That was a big deal. Here we get Freeman's boring, INO Everrett Ross. And then Hill - her only significant appearance since AOU eight years ago was FFH - which wasn't even the real Hill! If they needed someone to sacrifice to set the stakes, fine. But they needed at least a couple of episodes to get us to care about her first. Which I guess is more than Talos' wife got...Beyond the ethical considerations, I can see why the AI credits have dominated discussion of this show from what I've seen: there's not really much here to grab onto. I like the idea of Jackson and Mendelsohn as a duo, but everything feels so... bland. The choice to kill off Hill is a total miss too because the MCU never made her matter anyway.
No I wouldn't think so. A person doesn't need to be dead for a skrull to take their appearence. Now this does beg the question of how long this skrull was impersonating Ross. Given how little fanfare there was for his reveal, I'm gonna assume it was not long. Maybe the skrull took Ross's place after Ross went awol and left to go to Wakanda in BP2. The skrulls might have figured Ross was MIA so he would be easy to replace.Now, just because Ross turned out to be a skull in the beginning doesn't mean Ross himself is dead, right? I don't want him to be dead for real like Maria Hill seems to be.
Hope you're right. I kinda like the little fellow.No I wouldn't think so. A person doesn't need to be dead for a skrull to take their appearence.
