Warning: Spoilers for Secret Invasion to follow.
We’re a third of the way through Secret Invasion, and Nick Fury’s solo series has already gifted us some absolute jaw-droppers in the short time we’ve spent with it. Indeed, from Maria Hill’s death to Everett K. Ross’ identity as a Skrull to that particularly disturbing torture scene courtesy of Olivia Colman, Secret Invasion is serving up quite the feast.
That’s not to say, of course, that there haven’t been bumps in the road, as is the case with pretty much every finished product in the realm of creativity. Nevertheless, there are some mistakes that just seem far too peculiar and jarring to be made by a studio as illustrious as Marvel Studios, which makes this particular blunder sniffed out by r/marvelstudios all the more brutal.
In the clip from the second episode, Olivia Colman’s character Sonya Falsworth affixes a metal rod onto the door that leads to the room where she’s interrogating the Skrull Brogan. Shortly after, when Gravik’s team comes to spring him, they blow the door open with explosives, and the door falls wayward into the room, the metal bar suddenly missing.
It’s ultimately an inconsequential continuity error, however glaring it was, but not everyone is taking kindly to this slip-up.
Others, meanwhile, were happy to treat the opportunity as a logic puzzle, which is what a fair shake of MCU fans tune in for half the time anyway.
At the end of the day, it’s a strange but trivial matter that we’ll probably all forget about by the time the next episode drops, and only further proves that the MCU is a lemon that fans will always manage to get another squeeze out of.
Secret Invasion is now streaming on Disney Plus. New episodes will release every Wednesday until the series finale on July 26.
