Secret Invasion sucked balls, and it sucked even more because it had so much potential. You had Jackson's Nick Fury as the lead character, you had a classic scifi invasion premise that's worked wonders in Invaders of the Body Snatchers, DS9, nBSG, and obviously the original comics' Secret Invasion, plus a refugee/terrorist angle that has been incredibly relevant this last decade, you had Ben Mendelsohn, and Olivia Coleman, and Emilia Clarke, you had all these ingredients that should have been the best the MCU ever got, and it still sucked balls. And it ended at the point where you thought "No, that's the show, that's what we wanted, don't stop now". i know nobody sets out to make a bad show, but this one coulda fooled me. It was almost a feat to screw that one up.
Don't forget about completely wasting Don Cheadle, Cobie Smulders, and Martin Freeman.
 
The new Daredevil show is doing well in terms of story and script in season 2. But I admit the first season wasn't 'that' great. And I understand why you found it terrible. As for Secret Invasion, I think it's completely awful.
Season one wasn't awful by any stretch, but I will admit that it wasn't in the same league as the first three Netflix seasons. On the other hand, Born Again season 2 (Season 5?) is absolutely up to Netflix standard in my opinion.
 
I don't think about Secret Invasion, it's an absolute nothing burger.

Nick Fury has a secret shape shifting wife?

There was an X-Men Comic where they thought Wolverine and Marvel Girl were having an affair in a run down Motel 6, but it was just Mystique being kinky with her ex-husband.

In the lackluster blowout Secret Invasion they showed us two super old people, when one of them is probably immortal and only as old as the guy "she" is %%%king, in a twilight romance of hand holding and hugging when they could have been playing an awesome game of sex chicken called "Will you still ^^^k me if I look like this?" as she shifts into disturbing appearances like Phil Coulson, Miss Minutes or Thanos, totally validating Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D. and crossing a line that we haven't seen crossed since Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

Nicholas had skin in the game, so lets see it.

I do feel like season 2 has been a improvement but the show just misses the chemistry between Matt,Karen and Foggy.
 
I'm trying to figure out where the notion that The Fantastic Four: First Steps is actually set in 1964 - as opposed to being set in the present with society on Earth-838 just having evolved with a retro-futuristic aesthetic ala the future world of Fallout - came from.

It came from automatic assumptions. "Looks like the 60s so it must be the 60s". There's nothing more to it than that.

The tags on the license plates said "64", and the Roman numerals presented on the Ted Gilbert Show come out to "1964".

So... 1964.

Thank you.

I think that was a narratively unnecessary choice that also doesn't make sense, but we are where we are.

I'm just going to pretend that it's 2028 on Earth-828 for the rest of the movie (since I started watching it last night and have about a half-hour left).
