Review of Promises

Secret Invasion: Promises (2023)
Season 1, Episode 2
6/10
[6.3] Don't touch me! - out or in, you choose
28 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Episode 2: A better yet unimpressive episode having more development and background, nice fillers through train windows, unimpressive flow, visual effects and CGI (besides tiny bits here and there, index finger processing - show it!, 160 degrees - seriously?! Where are the purple red scars and literally eruption of blood and liquefied grease from cracked skin...),

a heavily underused Emilia Clarke who basically stands here and there with dynamited hairs and uncertain looks or sits with fear and anticipation; Skrulls that better fight in their Skrull form with "8.8" award-winning VFX not cheap lawn-green masks and hands.

Give the series purpose, an action-packed backbone with thrilling vibe & flow; so far what I saw was a super unimpressive Nick Fury, aerial shots, moving objects, morphing creatures with basic "cell-app" effects and a gold ring in the end that would have a better gastro-intestinal use, swallowed, rather than put back on with an arid completely nonsensical tight lip kiss.
