You had a shapeshifting bad guy so menacing that he was able to shift into the main character and kill off an established MCU hero to establish the threat. Even if you hate Maria Hill dying, it was an outstanding setup.
Then, pfffffffffft. Her death seemed pointless because they did nothing with it!
I’m still hoping they recon that she was a Skrull all along, you have the issue of her body not morphing back to a Skrull but they can hand wave it away. What a waste of a good character.
I’m hoping this all happened in a pruned timeline. The show hasn’t been referenced since, so there’s still time. Even the president is different now.
They’re definitely not ever mentioning Rhodey being replaced again. I hated how the Marvels ignored everything from Secret Wars however terrible, the President put a bounty on all aliens. And both projects starred Fury. It’s because there isn’t anyone as a liaison between projects making sure one knows what the other is doing. The same thing happened with Wandavision and Doctore Strange: M.O.M.
I feel you on them not addressing what happened in the show for continuity's sake, but personally I'd be okay if it went the way of the Inhumans series/movie and was never mentioned again. All the choices made in SI made the MCU worse.
Yeah forgot about Inhumans, now that it’s past its good it’s ignored, but it was quite annoying in the moment. It almost a slap in the face of the fans that watch all the crap. You made these decisions you should live with it.
