Part 2/9:
When Secret Invasion first premiered, its reception was tepid at best. Early audience scores and ratings were unimpressive, leading many to dismiss it as yet another forgettable addition to the MCU's expanding universe. However, the series' finale marked a dramatic turning point. Instead of redeeming earlier faults, the finale added fuel to the fire, cementing fans’ and critics’ frustrations. The final episode garnered a 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes — the worst in MCU Disney+ history. The overall reception was overwhelmingly negative, with viewers expressing deep disappointment in how the story unfolded, particularly in its aftermath for some beloved characters like Nick Fury.
