Many fans are speculating that the show will be another failed endeavor like The Flash because of the show’s middling Rotten Tomatoes rating. With such sites as Rotten Tomatoes being the go-to for pre-determinant information, one cannot help but wonder what is up with the current scores for the MCU’s upcoming feature Secret Invasion.

What Are the Current Secret Invasion Rotten Tomatoes Scores?

Critics will always be critics! That should be kept in mind when reading reviews for a forthcoming film. A reviewer’s responsibility is to examine a work critically. The measures used to determine value are different from those used by the majority of fans.

Scores on Rotten Tomatoes are calculated using an average of reviews from critics. As a result, the score becomes more fair and is adjusted as the number of reviews increases. At the time of writing, Secret Invasion has a Tomatometer rating of 73%. And this came after the aggregate score of 70 critical reviews.

When attempting to explain why such a score was awarded, many factors must now be taken into account. The strength of subjectivity and the relevance of a movie to its franchise are two of the most important factors for Secret Invasion’s Rotten Tomato Scores. 

Although the rating is higher than many other series, it is lower than other Marvel programs on Disney+, such as Moon Knight (86%), Loki (92%), WandaVision (91%), and Ms. Marvel (98%).

The Secret Invasion: What to Expect

The series was inspired by the rich traditions of espionage noir and lone gunman Westerns, according to director Ali Selim

“We talked a lot about classic espionage noir, like The Third Man. As Nick moves through it, he walks out of a noir and into a Western. He becomes the lone gunslinger walking down Main Street looking for bad guys to vanquish. We go from The Third Man to John Wayne in The Searchers, and Sam walks effortlessly from one into the next.”

For those who are not familiar, Secret Invasion is a Marvel series that centers on the Skrulls, a race of shape-shifting aliens that have ingratiated themselves into every sphere of society on Earth.

Well, it remains to be seen whether Secret Invasion will turn out to be yet another failed endeavor like The Flash. 

Although early reviews are undoubtedly the cause for concern, it is important to note that a show’s success is influenced by factors other than just how well it is received by critics. Instead of relying solely on reviews, viewers should watch and form their own opinions about the series.
