#SecretInvasion #Episode5 #EasterEggs
We have so much to talk about from this episode, breaking down the harvest, all the easter eggs–and who Fury was talking to at the end.
Doug: Who was it?
We don’t for sure, but I’ve got a theory I’m excited to share a little later in the video. So let’s get started.
Now I know I’ve been really hard on this show in our talkbacks, but I don't think the show is bad–just that it could have been so much more. Episode 5 gave us the very best and worst of this series. But man, when the Thai show soars. It soars. Fury’s monologue at the end was top-tier cinematic content. Sonya Falsworth always lights up the screen. I’m going to talk more about them, and what I think isn't working as we go along.
Now the name of the episode is “Harvest,” in qi=uaotation marks, which has a few meanings. Placing the title in quotes kind of denotes that Harvest is a code name, which we learn is true–Harvest is the name Fury gave to the superhero blood they collected after the Avengers defeated thanos.
Doug: What? That’s cold.
Yes, yes it is. But Harvest has a few other meanings. In the first episode, we saw that the skrulls were planting crops in New Skrullos. And as we talked about in the outer episode 1 breakdown video, planting crops is a way of colonizing land,m calling it your own, literally putting down roots. But Gravik isn't just sowing crops, he was planting seeds within his people. With each recruit, he gains another person who is loyal to his cause–another soldier in his war.
Gravik is planning on reaping this harvest–using his soldiers in the war against earth and Fury. And, as we see in this episode, he would sacrifice all of his people to get what he wants–more power. So when his people stage a coup against him, it’s like he’s reaping what he sewed. He tried these people to commit violence, and they returned violence upon him.
You can also say that the entire earth is his harvest–a planet where he has been planting spies, that he’s now ready to call into action by – [interrupt]
Back to the secret invasion.
Doug: Hey how come your hair was longer a second ago?
IN some shots, my hair is longer.
Doug: Okay then.
Last week was a massive shakeup for the show, ending us on a cliffhanger. Talos died saving the president’s life–Ritson was injured, Rhodey a skrull, and Gravik has the powers for extremis and [i am groooot].
Now I’m not going to spend the entire video being critical of this show–but I do want to talk about how this opening scene illustrates the problem with this show. I keep saying that a secret invasion should feel big, when it feels small. And that’s not because it doens't have a cast of superheroes or copy the comic books' globe-spanning plot.
The show feels small because in places, the flat TV lighting makes it feel cheap. There are sequences that seem like they were filmed with a bare bones budget–like this opening. Think about this. The president of the United States was just shot. Some of the agents and soldiers in the motorcade are still alive. Rhodey is still alive.
Now if the president was shot, even on foreign soil, do you think the next scene would look like this–one man wheeling him into a brightly lit hospital? Compare this to the production value of a show like ER [clip]. Or in the movie JFK, when they dramatized the president arriving at the hospital [clip].
There are a hundred ways to shoot this to make it feel vibrant, dark, kinetic, and instead it's done fast and cheap. And we see that all through the show. INstead of creating dark corners and shadows, there's even light or fog that makes everything feel flat, not cinematic.
Anyways, enough nitpicking. The silver lining of this attack is that the press ses a shape shifting alien saving the president. So the public now knows that skrulls exist–just not how many of them are on earth, in a way Talos fulfilled his goal, to talk to the president and show him they were not a threat.
