SECRET INVASION Finale Sets Up An Intriguing New Status Quo For Emilia Clarke's Gi'ah - SPOILERS

The Secret Invasion finale delivered a big surprise when it comes to Gi'ah's MCU future, but what does that look like and how important will she be for the MCU moving forward? Here's our breakdown...

As we explained in our earlier breakdown, today's episode of Secret Invasion concludes by giving Emilia Clarke's Gi'ah the powers of, well, pretty much every superhero (and supervillain) you can imagine. 

Despite Gravik being every bit as powerful, she makes relatively short work of her former leader and blasts a hole through his chest which ensures he won't threaten Earth ever again. However, what can Marvel Studios now do with a Skrull who is quite easily the MCU's most powerful being? 

A computer readout confirms that among the powers she acquired are those from Abomination, Ghost, Captain America, Corvus Glaive, Thanos, an Outrider, Proxima Midnight, Captain Marvel, Mantis, Cull Obsidian, Drax, Korg, Ebony Maw, a Frost Beast, The Hulk, a Chitauri, Black Panther, Valkyrie, Thor Odinson, Gamora, Groot, and The Winter Soldier. 

It's worth pointing out that, like the comic book Super-Skrulls, Gi'ah can seemingly only use a certain number of powers at a time so that might go some way in ensuring she isn't too overpowered. 

She's left in an intriguing place, anyway, as the episode wraps up with Talos' daughter being confronted by Sonya Falsworth. She points out that Earth's remaining Skrulls need a leader and promises Gi'ah the resources she needs to fight the war declared on her people by President Ritson. 

In exchange, she wants the hero's help in making the planet safe for humans and Skrulls alike. Gi'ah agrees and the two women leave together, though it feels somewhat unnecessary after we later learn Fury has brokered peace talks between the Kree and Skrulls!

So, as the series ends, Gi'ah doesn't become Abigail Brand and she's now one of the universe's most formidable superheroes...acting as a spy. It's a strange ending for the character and one which very much leaves the door open to us seeing her again. Or perhaps not. 

Looking at the comic books, there's really no one who matches this powered-up Gi'ah, so we're left to speculate who she'll become. Captain Britain, perhaps? Or maybe just the MCU's Super-Skrull (which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing). 

Still, it's a strange way to conclude the character's story and one that feels perhaps a little too rushed.
