Marvel Studios seemed to have hit a rough patch in Iron Man’s invincible snap against the battle with Thanos. The recent Marvel series ‘Secret Invasion‘ introduced Skrull’s diabolical plan to take over the planet with its shape-shifting abilities. Since 2008 Nick Fury has been a part of the Marvel Universe, but only in the ‘Secret Invasion‘ Fury was finally shown in the spotlight. As much as the fans were excited to see Nick Fury in the central role, they were equally disappointed with the series.
From killing Maria Hill to many important characters, ‘Secret Invasion’s’ each new episode became unbearable. Recently Rotten Tomatoes also rated Marvel’s Secret Invasion the lowest rating of any of Marvel’s projects. Now showrunner Ali Selim has revealed studio head Kevin Feige was responsible for the poorly received finale.

Too much interference can also ruin things. In a recent interview, Ali Selin admitted Kevin Feige’s direct interference came too little, too late to address core issues plaguing the show all season. Selin explained, “Kevin felt we needed something bigger and more persistent. Feige insisted on changing the ending to offer more closure.”
Kevin Feige dint seems to have faith in that second season, demanding to rewrite only to wrap things up. But this hastily revised finale didn’t improve reviews. Kevin Feige pushed the epic CGI ending of the Secret Invasion, forcing Selim to change the ending.

The series ended with the final fight between G’iah and Gravik with the powers of Mantis, Captain Marvel, Abomination Drax, and others. The epic CGI battle was indeed Kevin Feige’s idea.
During an interview with Deadline, Ali Selim revealed, “It starts with Kevin Feige, who said ‘We’re gonna have a Super Skrull fight, and all superpowers are fair game.’ I think that is actually best communicated in the moment where Gravik takes the vial from Fury and puts it in the computer for analysis. We see oh, it is all the superpowers scrolling up here.”
The ‘Secret Invasion’ director further added, “Then honestly, it’s a discussion of paper, scissors rock, which superpower from G’iah is going to dominate a superpower from Gravik? Paper, scissors rock, which superpower from Gravik is going to dominate G’iah momentarily?”
Ali Selim then said, “It’s also just a little bit of choreography and visual elegance or beauty, just making it work. There were some transitions from a superpower to another superpower that made sense in story that just didn’t look good. So we shifted the story to accommodate the choreography.”
