The events of Secret Invasion have caused significant damage to the Avengers, surpassing the impact of Civil War. In Secret Invasion, the MCU reverts back to the fear of alien invaders and turns Thor into a public enemy, insulting the value of the Avengers. This poses a huge problem for Avengers 5 as it needs to overcome the damage done to the team’s brand and the confusion surrounding the current lineup.
The Avengers Face Their Greatest Challenge
Secret Invasion fatally insults the Avengers. In the series, Nick Fury ignores calls to bring the Avengers in to deal with a global threat, instead relying on a convoluted plan involving a Super-Skrull machine. This undermines the significance and importance of the Avengers, turning them into a joke. The ending of Secret Invasion even reverts the MCU back to the fear of alien invaders, portraying Thor as a public enemy. This undermines the Avengers even further and adds to the damage done to their brand.
The negative impact of Secret Invasion on the Avengers cannot be underestimated. It reverts the MCU back to a state of anxiety about alien invaders, insults the value of the Avengers, and turns Thor into a public enemy. This challenges the credibility and reputation of the Avengers as Earth’s defenders. The insulting comments made by Nick Fury further degrade the image of the Avengers, dismissing their personal trauma and reducing their importance.
Avengers 5, titled The Kang Dynasty, faces a huge problem to overcome. Not only is there an issue with positioning Jonathan Majors as the central antagonist, but there are also problems with the story. The Kang story does not feel like a culmination event and there is confusion surrounding the current Avengers lineup and the introduction of new Marvel superheroes. Avengers 5 needs to be a second team-up movie to address these issues and rebuild the damaged brand of the superteam.
Overall, Secret Invasion has caused significant damage to the Avengers. It insults their value, turns Thor into a public enemy, and undermines their importance as Earth’s defenders. Avengers 5 faces the challenge of overcoming this damage and rebuilding the team’s brand and credibility.
