Yeah, you’re caught up, disappointment all around.

Skrulls needed more build-up before SI so they could both flesh out the threat and give you more in them to identify with so you cared. Now we have a Fury who we haven’t seen for a while, a race of shapeshifters who are… fine? Convenient? Comic relief? I get why they want earth, but it’s rude to take other peoples’ stuff, and Fury is clearly old. Gravik kills everybody, even his own people for the slightest suspicion but several details leak to Talos and he doesn’t deal with his daughter immediately?

This whole thing seems stream of consciousness, like it was actually written by AI. They had Martin Freeman, who they wasted utterly and alienated us with his death, they had Hill, who they wasted utterly and alienated us with her death, they had Talos who they alienated us with his death. Waiting for Rhodey and Fury to die right now. And they weren’t good deaths either, none of them. This whole thing just reminds me of the new indiana jones movies where it’s clear Ford is checked out, and it’s visibly painful for him to try to run, but we wanted an Indiana Jones story, so here it is, suck it up.

Marvel: Don’t try to make psychopath villains if you don’t do build-up in previous work, it makes them seem like an empty threat of the week, we lose investment, this threat is somewhat nebulous (war will break out? We’ve had war before, Fury can tell the avengers and have them stop it if it comes to that), and while Skrulls have been mild fun in the past, that was literally just Talos and Ben Mendelsohn, the rest of them really don’t register to us much.
