Just as a sidenote, whoever wrote the Disney Secret Invasion story needs a hard looking at.

This might sound a bit dorky, but bear with me for a moment.

So in the comics, the Kree Empire vs Skrull Empire is this big, galactic conflict that’s been going on forever, right? Occasionally one side will invade Earth for reasons, everyone has a fun time punching things, that’s it.

Two empires that suck equal amounts hitting each other in space. Good clean nerd fun.

Disney, a company founded by a notorious anti-semite, decided with the MCU that they should make the Skrull refugee victims of a genocide.

Okay, sure, that’s okay, it addresses real world issues, it’s a good message for the kids, imperialism bad, refugees are people too, right?

Hey.

Wait a minute.

Aren’t the Skrull shape shifting lizard people?

A fringe conspiracy theory that after a brief inspection always turns out to be a code for “Jewish people?”

So… Now we have the Disney (((Skrulls))), refugee genocide victims of the Space Nazis.

Okay. Well, that’s not too bad, but obviously they’re going to need to reveal that the Skrull Empire is still a thing in space, right? Because having the Skrull refugees do the Secret Invasion story would be kind of fucked up, but that’s easy to fix, you just make them the survivors of a single planet from…

Nope. The refugees are now taking over Earth by replacing leaders with (((Skrulls))).

Oh, look. Episode Two.

“The (((Skrulls))) were a worse threat than Hydra! You know, the literal Nazis!”
