All I have to say is….Flerken kittens!!!! 🙀

TVLine ran this same story, but then edited it to clarify that Iger meant Marvel’s focus had been diluted, not the audience’s.

It wouldn’t shock me for it to be Rhodey. Or maybe even the President. Right now I’m guessing Fury’s wife though - “Varra” = “Veranke”.

I only know who Blue Beetle is because of watching Young Justice. I’m surprised they’re not doing more marketing for that film. Weekend estimates have Flash falling to #8, behind Little Mermaid.

Final weekend numbers per BoxOfficeMojo: Flash came in #3 with a 72.5% drop.

So in the Secret Invasion storyline in the comics (which I haven’t read) and in Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, one of the major characters was Veranke, the Skrull Queen. In the comics, she replaced Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman). In EMH, she replaced Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird). I know right now the Big Bad of the series is Gravik, but I’m wondering whether he might actually be reporting to someone else further up, and if Veranke might pop up later as someone we already know. Sharon Carter perhaps? Or Olivia Coleman’s character? I had thought possibly Maria Hill but the first episode seems to rule that out.

😂 ok yeah, I had totally missed that.

I’m absolutely delighted that this has effectively killed any talk of a sequel. But I’m not sure how a Batman Beyond movie would have been tied to Flash’s success in any way. I mean, I don’t really care about Batman Beyond one way or the other (I’ve never gotten around to watching the series) but I’m failing to see what one has to do with the other. What have I missed?

At what point can we officially call it a bomb? Per Deadline, it looks like The Flash will end up in third place this weekend, and possibly fourth, being beat by both Elemental and Across the Spider-Verse.

I know in a lot of forums, comics spoilers are not allowed in the general threads. I thought it might be good to have a place to discuss how Secret Invasion has been handled in the comics and the various cartoons. For me personally, I realized today that a lot of my expectations for this series were shaped by how it was handled in the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon. What about you all? What do you think might or might not happen, based on the original comics storyline and/or how it’s been handled in the Marvel cartoons?

If that sticks…..:not cool, show. ☹️ I thought for sure she was going to turn Skrull after she was shot, but then they zoomed out and she never turned…….what?!?! Other than that, yeah, I was disappointed that G’iah double-crossed her dad, but I did think that was a bit too easy, so I wasn’t shocked about that. Withholding judgment for now, but I do hope this doesn’t turn out to be another Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That series was such a disappointment.

I’ve seen some comments saying that they never even bothered to address the issue of who killed Barry’s mom - is that true? That seems like rather a massive oversight. 😒

Actual final number was $55,043,679, per Boxofficemojo.

Same here. I was feeling petty hoping it would bomb; glad I’m not the only one.

From Deadline’s analysis:
