The leader of the Skrull rebellion is someone Fury used to know, so he&#8217;s not happy about it. Fury hasn&#8217;t been the same since the blip, and Maria Hill is worried that he&#8217;s not ready for this operation.<\/p>\n<p>This miniseries has 6 episodes.<\/p>\n<p>I like how Fury uses his well-known idiosyncratic nature to plant a bug. If you look closely you see that G&#8217;iah is reading a book titled <strong>Understand the Human Mind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The villain has an understandable motivation.<\/p>\n<p>Fury has a more or less antagonistic relationship with everyone, which makes conversations a bit odd. This is also a prime example of the phenomenon where the hero knows a bunch of people who could help him but he doesn&#8217;t call any of them.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s lots to like but there&#8217;s also a bit of oddness.
