Gravik Claims Nick Fury Is Hiding The DNA Of The Avengers Somewhere

This is a big deal and if Nick Fury really is storing the DNA of the Avengers somewhere, even the heroes would stop trusting him.

Gravik also claims that it’s the only reason that he hasn’t killed Nick Fury so far.

Nick Fury Is Being Publicly Framed

Raava AKA Skrull-Rhodey reveals to Nick Fury that she/he/they have leaked the footage of Gravik as Nick Fury killing Maria Hill, thereby publicly framing him as not only murdering Maria Hill, but also complicit with Skrulls in the assassination attempt on the President.

This is going to make it much harder for Nick Fury moving forward. Maybe some of the Avengers will be after him? But considering the scale of the series, that probably won’t happen.

Nick Fury & Gi’ah Confirms That Talos Died

Yes, Talos really did die in Episode 4, as confirmed by Nick Fury and Gi’ah.

O-T Fagbenle Reprises His Role As Rick Mason From 2021’s Black Widow Movie

O-T Fagbenle originally played the character, Rick Mason, in 2021’s Black Widow, where he helped Natasha Romanoff on several occasions, including giving her the Quinjet that helped her do the things she did in 2018’s Avengers Infinity War.

Here, he makes a surprise appearance and reprises that role as Nick Fury asks for his help.

Talos Really Is Dead

Gi’ah and Varra/Priscilla perform a Skrull funeral sendoff for Talos, who turns out to be really dead.

This series is like Marvel’s Game Of Thrones, killing characters left and right.

The series’ major kill count so far includes Maria Hill and Talos. Will we see yet more deaths by the time the series ends next week?

Nick Fury Collected The Blood Of The Avengers As Part Of The Harvest Project

Nick Fury confirms that the Harvest project is him having collected the blood of the Avengers who participated in the Battle Of Earth against Loki and the Chitauri in 2012’s The Avengers, as well as Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel. The ones who helped Nick Fury collect the blood back then were his Skrull spies, including Gravik.

But the biggest question here is what was Nick Fury planning to do with the blood anyways? What exactly is project Harvest?

Nick Fury Keeps Literal Grave Sites Around The World To Stash His Secrets

Nick Fury has multiple hidden grave sites around the world to stash his deepest secrets, including the Harvest.

That’s really crazy but so ‘Nick Fury’ of him.

Nick Fury Is Back

Nick Fury is almost back to his old confident self, wearing the eyepatch again and ready to fight.

We’re in for an epic conclusion next week, which will be the final episode of Secret Invasion.

Until then, excelsior!
