The Skrull Invasion was a great opportunity to do a bunch of interesting spy-thriller stuff. Shapeshifters who can infiltrate governments, creates a lot of interesting scenarios for a super-spy like Nick Fury to contend with. There is a little taste of the spy-thriller stuff in the first episode. I do think it's sort of absurd that they made Sam Jackson fuck an alien. I don't think that was in the comics. In the comics there were a lot more superheroes involved and the Skrull had replaced important characters. It was a shocking twist.

I think the showrunners actually had a hard job making this show. I cut them some slack. If I was in charge of that show, I would have hired on all the people I could get from Agent's of Shield, and I'd maybe get some B and C tier heroes and a bunch of cheap young actors and actresses to play them, just to have the comic books vibe of a bunch of superheroes trying to figure out who is the secret Skrull. I also think to do it right in live action, you probably have to try to make it somewhat like one of the old war of the worlds or invasion of the body snatchers shows, where it's got horror paranoia elements instead of a super heroic vibe.
