Image: Marvel StudiosOnce the president (played by Dermot Mulroney) realized he was attacked by Skrulls, he made every one of them enemies of the state and vowed to kill them all if they didn’t leave. This didn’t make Nick Fury happy, as he was hoping for a more civil response, but now humanity has begun to murder people in cold blood they believe are Skrulls.

Secret Invasion’s finale was released today, and man, did it land flat on all points. After a lackluster five episodes, I didn’t have high expectations for the Marvel Disney+ series’ sixth, but the circular ending and failure to meaningfully engage in any emotional beats truly left me cold.

Yesterday was a big day for actors and writers, as well as anyone—like us—who covers the entertainment industry as SAG-AFTRA officially joined the WGA on the picket lines for the first time in 60 years. From AI reveals to Fran Drescher’s pretty great, off-the-cuff speech about the labor problems facing actors in Hollywood, all eyes were on LA yesterday. We’ll be figuring out what this means for San Diego Comic-Con soon, but until then, remember spoilers... Fran Fine would never, ever cross a picket line.Who Should Play…

Secret Invasion is back with the Worst Spies in the world! A reminder that Rhodes is very likely a Skrull, Skrulls are doing Super Skrullification, and G’iah has been shot but if she’s dead I’ll eat my backpack.

Marvel Studios has semi-secretly (and rather cheekily) released a massive amount of new footage from the series featuring Samuel Jackson’s Nick Fury preparing for a war a very, very few people know about.She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 9 Finale ReviewIf you head to The InvasionHasBegun.com and enter the correct code,…

Another day, another reason to be impressed/scared by artificial intelligence. In yet another absolutely random prompt, a person got AI software Midjourney to create pictures of Hollywood actresses ‘finding themselves’ in India. The photos included AI-imagine versions of Scarlett Johansson, Emilia Clarke, Natalie Portman, Zendaya, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson.
