The first five minutes of Secret Invasion have been released, and they are incredibly epic. However, despite this excitement, some words from the show’s director, Ali Selim, calling it “a six-hour movie unto itself” have caused skepticism amongst fans. This statement further highlights Marvel’s misunderstanding of television as a genre, with the studio underselling the creativity and potential of TV. Nevertheless, the show is highly anticipated, and fans are excited for the fresh storyline.

When it comes to Marvel content, it seems like the phrase “extended movie” is always mentioned. However, this simply undermines the potential of the TV genre, and the line between film and television is not as black and white as the studio may believe. It would be more refreshing for Marvel to embrace the qualities of a great TV show instead of pretending it is an extension of a film. The upcoming Secret Invasion is just one more example of this.
