25. Secret Invasion (Disney+: 2023)

Nick Fury deserved so much better…but based on the way he behaved in Secret Invasion, maybe he didn’t? The show itself was essentially a sequel to underrated MCU entry Captain Marvel, finally giving the great Samuel L. Jackson a chance to star as the lead in a superhero thing of his very own. The series even introduced some interesting ideas early on, establishing that Fury had failed in his goal from the end of Captain Marvel, in which he promised to find a new home for the shapeshifting alien refugee Skrulls, and that a new generation of Skrull rebels had grown up to resent humanity over it. Unfortunately, even with some cool fight scenes and the introduction of Super Skrulls with mash-up superpowers, Invasion never managed to live up to the potential of a superhero spy drama. A confusing bummer of an ending and a hideous A.I.-generated intro sequence didn’t do it any favors, either. [Sam Barsanti]
