The final episode of Marvel’s latest TV series, Secret Invasion, was dropped on Disney+ on 26th July. The show was focused on Nick Fury, who teamed up with his allies to stop a secret Skrull invasion. Even though the show successfully introduced the audiences to Skrulls, many still pointed out the show’s flaws. The 37-minute finale divided the fans on the internet.
A second season has not been announced yet, however, season one has successfully managed to set up the future of the franchise. The show’s creator, Ali Selim, previously revealed what he thinks about the negative reviews.
Ali Selim doesn’t read the reviews
In a recent interview with Variety, Secret Invasion‘s creator, Ali Selim, talked about the hate received by the show. He was asked how he deals with the negative comments and the director replied,
“Oh, I don’t read reviews. With all due respect. For me, I view all the storytelling work I do as a dialogue with an audience. When the show is finished and put up on the screen, that’s my half of the dialogue. And the audience then starts their half of the response to it. I think that’s valuable, but I don’t know. I don’t know how to answer the question.”
Secret Invasion didn’t receive the love from the fans that it deserved but many complained that the show’s plot was undermining.
Ali Selim doesn’t feel bad
Further in the interview, Selim explained that he doesn’t feel bad about the reviews, also noting that it is the fans who hate a project when it progresses in a way that they did not expect,
“I don’t feel bad about mixed reviews. If you had unanimously good reviews, every movie would gross $10 billion, trillion dollars, right? [Projects] resonate with different people at different times for different reasons, and Marvel has a very devoted – even rabid – fan base who have expectations and when their expectations aren’t fulfilled, they move in the other direction; they give it a thumbs down.”
Without a doubt, the show has unraveled many secrets that kept the audiences on the edge of their seats. Samuel L. Jackson’s performance as Nick Fury was also praised by fans all over the world.
Will there be a second season of Secret Invasion?
In the interview, Selim was asked if there would be a second season of this show and he simply replied,
“I don’t know anything about Season 2. I think there’s some great threads that could be run down. But is there a Season 2? I have no idea.”
Many media outlets have claimed that the creators are currently working on a second season, however, there are no official confirmations. The show’s finale has set up the stage for The Marvels, which will release worldwide in November 2023.
