'Secret Invasion's Biggest Problem Is This
Secret Invasion has a problem. The much-maligned opening credits and the inconsistent pacing aren't the only knocks against Marvel's latest limited series. During Episode 3's one-two-punch cliffhanger ending, the villainous Gravik shot and presumably killed G'iah , his former lieutenant and one of Secret Invasion's primary characters.
‘Secret Invasion’ Wasted G'iah's Potential Incorporating G'iah into Secret Invasion suggested a conflict rooted in interpersonal relationships. With G'iah on one side of the Skrull civil war and her father Talos on the other, the potential for emotional immediacy and tangible intimacy existed within the rehashed confines of yet another "protect Earth from total destruction" plot.
Instead, she was a temporary antagonist who conveniently turned good again in enough time to facilitate some plot points. Her change of heart was one-and-done without any moral quandaries or emotional aftermath. Why include G'iah at all when all we know about her amounts to "she's angry"? Fridging Women Characters Is a Boring and Reductive Trope Character death should always fulfill a narrative purpose. Sometimes it's how a character's arc culminates or marks a significant turning point with wide-reaching ramifications. G'iah's death might very well fulfill the latter purpose. However, far too many female and LGBTQIA+ characters have died to emotionally motivate a male character.
