Matters worsen with the revelation of a group called Americans Against Russia, controlled by Gravik.
The event cast doubts on Fury’s loyalty to his country, with the perception of him acting against America’s interests gaining momentum.
Loss of a Trusted Ally
Adding to the complexity, Fury loses one of his most trusted allies, Maria Hill. Gravik, impersonating Fury, kills Maria Hill, an event bound to make Fury re-evaluate his strategies to safeguard his loved ones.
Secret Invasion, while emphasizing on Fury’s persona, also highlights the underutilized character of Maria Hill, a consistent aide to Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, her tragic death at the end of the first episode leaves the audience disappointed as they never got to explore her character’s potential fully.
Secret Invasion had the opportunity to delve into Hill’s emotional world, but it ends up feeling too little, too late.
