In the world of Marvel, much of the excitement today revolves around the second episode of Secret Invasion. While it may not have had the same impact as last week’s premiere, it did manage to drop a major bombshell and featured what could be considered the most intense scene in the MCU. Unfortunately, the show is only being watched by a fraction of the audience that tuned in for previous Disney Plus Marvel shows…

According to the numbers, Secret Invasion had the second lowest opening viewership for any Marvel Disney Plus series. The first episode failed to reach 1 million views in the United States within its first five days of streaming. While it performed better than Ms. Marvel, it falls far behind the 2.5 million viewers who watched the premiere of Loki. This raises concerns about whether Marvel titles with less cultural prominence will face a similar fate when they debut in 2024. Should we be worried for upcoming shows like Echo and Wonder Man?

Let’s turn our attention to the second episode. It started with a recap of events from Captain Marvel, which struck many fans as odd. It seems like Marvel is acknowledging that not everyone has revisited the Brie Larson film since its theatrical release in 2019. Considering the controversial reception the movie received, particularly leading up to the upcoming release of The Marvels, this inclusion carries some weight.

For those who grew up with Tobey Maguire’s portrayal of Spider-Man in the early 2000s, it may come as a shock that he is now 48 years old. What’s even more astonishing is that he is now older than Willem Dafoe was when he first played Norman Osborn in 2002’s Spider-Man. This realization is mind-boggling for fans, especially after seeing Maguire looking youthful in No Way Home. Just wait until next year when Andrew Garfield turns 40, and the 2010 kids have their own crisis of time.

Even if the thought of aging superheroes unsettles you, don’t worry. The Marvel news cycle will continue, and there’s more to come.
