Fury may not want to admit he’s getting too old for this, but he seems awfully out of the loop.
doesn’t depend heavily on your knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to make sense. The opening scene of its second episode, a flashback to 1997 and –era de-aged Nick Fury, is intent on filling in any emotional gaps viewers who missed that billion-dollar blockbuster . In London, Fury meets Gravik, the future Skrull revolutionary, as a prodigious child recruit; the Kree killed his parents, and Fury is told that the kid has the grits and the goods for his new project.
Pressing Talos for intel beyond what he already knows, Fury learns that all of the remaining Skrulls, about a million, have already resettled on Earth. It’s fun to watch Cheadle and Jackson snipe at each other with increasing hostility, and having Jackson play the scene reclined in a fancy restaurant and subsequently collapsing into weariness on a bench after exerting himself during his forced exit is a nice touch. Fury is clearly struggling to regain his cock-of-the-walk power-player mojo; his insistence that “I’m Nick Fury … even when I’m out, I’m in” is supposed to sound defiant, but there’s exhaustion behind it, too.
