Marvel Under Fire For Use of AI and Shocking Death in 'Secret Invasion'

The recent premiere of Secret Invasion on Disney+ has led to backlash over the show's use of AI in its opening credits and the killing off of a major character.
The series follows Nick Fury as he investigates a radical Skrull terrorist group threatening to start war between nations to claim Earth as their new home.
The show's reliance on AI and killing of Agent Maria Hill have angered fans and led to accusations of cost-cutting and stereotypical treatment of female characters.
Marvel claims the use of AI was a creative choice and part of the plot, while the death raises the stakes and motivates the male protagonist.
The reaction highlights the franchise's issues with representation, treatment of women and marginalized groups, and reliance on shock value over good storytelling.
