Hold up. I could’ve just given him the alpha? I’m so dumb. Gyaaaarrrgh.

My pain wasn’t as severe as 182 though, that’s some serious Buizelling.

If I had a nickel for every time Marvel has written a group of refugees into the big bad terrorists, I’d have two nickels. That’s not a lot, but it’s funny that it happened twice.

Ok yeh the Flag Smashers were more of an anti-nationalist group of displaced people, but they were still a diaspora.

And what about the Clandestines? Another diaspora, albeit exiles, set up as the villains trying to get back home. I’m not saying either group was in the right, or that their actions should be condoned, it’s just weird that Marvel have chosen refugees to be the villains in 3 of their TV series so far.

Or am I way off and finding a pattern that doesn’t exist?

I liked the Skrull being the good guys in the MCU, unlike the comics, and that they were using their shapeshifting abilities to survive instead of for war. I guess it was too tempting to villainise them for this series, and I get the intrigue/drama that comes with a race of shapeshifters, but it’s got me feeling iffy.
