The second twist (although we could already smell something was wrong) comes from Varra, who retrieves a gun from a lockbox and gets a call from one of Gravik's friends to convene. Varra recovers a gun and gets a shady call. We know he probably wouldn't hurt the boy, yet this feels like something that Disney wouldn't let one of their Marvel heroes do on the big screen. It ends up with Talos held at gunpoint by "Bob" (their Skrull target) and Fury doing the same with Bob's kid. You'd think Fury and Talos' assault on the high-ranking Skrull would be an exciting action (maybe stealthy) sequence, but the whole infiltration is a pretty mundane affair. However, she does give Fury the location of a very important Skrull that has made his way into the Royal Navy and could kickstart World War III for Gravik by shooting down a United Nations plane with a British submarine.īefore we move on to discuss the episode's key scene, we must say we still aren't sure about Falsworth's true allegiances she easily gives up crucial information that Gravik later confirms that he was happy to release in order to root out the traitor inside his closest circle. Olivia Colman's Sonya Falsworth doesn't get much screen time in episode 3. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn remind us that they're carrying this entire show on their backs, going back and forth between pure badassery and realistic moments of vulnerability. Nick Fury seems to agree, as he returns to his old friend to make amends and also make a move on high-ranking Skrulls. It appears that peace won't be an option, at least when it comes to shutting down Gravik and his closest followers. Moreover, we now know he's already gone "super Skrull" and might even have added Iron Man 3's Extremis juice to his secret mix of super-ingredients.įor now, however, the tensions between Talos and Gravik haven't blown up, mostly because they still can't make a move on each other without negative repercussions. Talos' answer once the bad guy mentions his daughter is stabbing one of his hands with a table knife, which leads into yet another surprisingly graphic moment for Marvel Studios. Things eventually go sideways, with Gravik responding to Talos' threats by revealing he's surrounded by militants that could easily overwhelm him if the Skrull terrorist gave the order. While he's right about Earth (and other worlds) banding together against a transparent enemy like Thanos, we believe he's putting too much stock in us not being naturally paranoid when we can't rapidly know who's good or bad, especially after the whole HYDRA fiasco about a decade ago. On the other side of the table, Talos has faith in the humans distinguishing between green allies and foes if he pulls the curtain. Gravik has a point when he takes shots at the leaders who comfortably sent men to die during war times, but he keeps circling back to an armed uprising that would endanger the entirety of his species, especially when they are few against many. Nonetheless, she accompanies him to London, where he meets up with Talos for some quality museum time.

Gravik gives Talos a human history lesson.
