Is G’iah dead? What Happened to Emilia Clarke in ‘Secret Invasion’ 1×03

Disney Plus has launched its new series ‘Secret Invasion’ with a twist that pays homage to the comic by Brian Michael Bendis on which this adaptation is based. In the third episode we witnessed a surprising death that left us in shock. We’re still trying to digest what happened to Maria Hill (played by Cobie Smulders) in the pilot of this series starring Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson).

spoilers below

In summary, the third chapter presents us with a double betrayal. Fury discovers that a high-ranking US government official is actually a Skrull infiltrator. So, he enlists the help of Talos (played by Ben Mendelsohn) and Sonya Falsworth (played by Olivia Colman) to track down this alien infiltrator, while Gravik (played by Kingsley Ben-Adir) devises a mock mission to expose his traitor. competition.

The results are devastating: after Nick Fury and Talos manage to defuse the terrorist attack orchestrated by Gravik and the Skrull council with the help of Already (played by Emilia Clarke), the latter flees the base and is intercepted by Gravik. In a shocking twist, Gravik draws a gun and shoots him right through the heart..

We were amazed! we didn’t expect that G’iah was killed as soon as. Now we wonder if he’s dead or if he was just a decoy. The episode makes us think it wasn’t, since no one else would have the chance to defeat the Skrull guards or learn the workings of the secret headquarters of his race, only her.

Is this a change from the “Secret Invasion” comics?

In the comics, G’iah doesn’t look like he is shown in the live-action series.. In reality, she is an undercover agent married to Klrr, the father of her three daughters. They worked under the impersonation of Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr.) and Pepper Pots (played by Gwyneth Paltrow), all under threat from Project Blossom. Although Klrr is killed, G’iah survives and is forced to move with her children, based on the events of the “Meet The Skrulls” comic.

Let’s hope this death triggers an action by Talos against the Skrull uprising on Earth and so on form an alliance with Nick Fury, Sonya and him to deal with the uprising and the development of the Super Skrull race, which involves biological experiments with the DNA of other members of the Avengers. Indeed, the last call to Priscilla (played by Charlayne Woodard) appears to come from one of the impersonators.

And the answer is obvious, only a couple of close allies of the Avengers have been shown in the Disney Plus series. Don’t miss the premiere of the fourth chapter of “Secret Invasion” on Disney Plus next Wednesday, where more surprises and twists in this exciting story will surely be revealed.
