By revealing the Harvest, Secret Invasion proves Nick Fury learned nothing in 20 years of the MCU.
Episode 5 of Secret Invasion changed the stakes of the series by revealing what Gravik truly wants with Nick Fury , something called “The Harvest.” While the series is taking the easy way out with the villain by painting Gravik as a power-hungry megalomaniac instead of a man with a cause, the presence of the Harvest alone opens a whole new can of worms the Marvel Cinematic Universe must deal with, lest it becomes another game-changing plot point that just gets swept under the rug.
The Super Skrull machines gave Gravik incredible powers like the healing factor of Iron Man 3’s Extremis. However, the machine’s limitations also prevented Gravik from becoming so powerful that Nick Fury couldn’t take him out alone. Unfortunately, Episode 5 changes this power dynamic by explaining how Gravik is going after the Harvest, a vial containing DNA samples from all the Avengers.
While the idea might sound good the first time we hear it, keeping Avengers’ DNA lying around is dangerous. As Gravik proves, it only takes one villain to take Fury’s insurance plan and turn it into the biggest threat the planet has ever seen. Inside the Harvest, there is the key to recreating a supersoldier serum and breeding an army that can take over the world.
With the Harvest, Nick Fury Betrays the Heroes’ Trust Let’s get something clear: Nick Fury is not the most decent character in the MCU. For the superspy, the need to protect the planet trumps any moral compass people might have, which is why he’s not above betraying friends and tricking people who trust him. In The Avengers, for example, Fury even dips Agent Coulson’s baseball cards in blood to give the Avengers the final push they need to work together.
