Secret Invasion Comes to The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Will we see loads of Skrull infiltrations on the show?

  The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated series has been loosely based on the Marvel comics. We wouldn't expect a brand new series to follow close to fifty years of comic book continuity to the letter. Throughout the current first season, there have been some surprising twists. 
 
If you saw the brand-new episode of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes this Sunday up to the end, you watched the major spoiler in the end... oh that's right: all of this article is under SPOILER ALERT!!!!    
   

No Caption Provided
== TEASER ==
No Caption Provided
Now that you're aware of the spoilers here, I can proceed by saying that the HYDRA's leader, Baron Von Strucker, righthand woman, Viper is a SKRULL. She was discovered by Nick Fury and Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird), at the end of the episode, in a style very similar to the way the New Avengers found out Elektra was a Skrull back in New Avengers vol.1 #36-37.  

If you've been following the animated series, you know the writers have inspired themselves in recent storylines, as seen in the first couple episodes, adapting the New Avengers origin into the Avengers' in the cartoon, with the mass supervillain breakout.  
 
Now the inspiration comes from the Secret Invasion story arc by Brian Michael Bendis. The extent of this event on the small screen is yet to be seen but I hope it will be as fun to follow as the amazing comics by Marvel.

I had hoped they would have done this later since this is going to throw off the order of everything after it

They're just addin it as a tease for now, kinda like Carol(aka Ms Marvel). It's way too early to pull the actual invasion stuff.

anyway, I was all expecting this show to span worlds like Asgard, time travel, Latveria, Outer Space. 
 
Sadly all the Avengers do is fight villains one of them could handle.  
 
Oh well Marvel fails again, when is Young Justice coming back??

They're setting this up. They're not rushing anything. The show has been brilliant so far, and I can't wait to see how they develop this.

I thought it was early to bring in the Secret Invasion storyline, but eh, I'll get over it. Now I just want to see Bucky return as Captain America and THEN I'll be happy! ^_^

They explained why they weren't there.
 
And Spectacular Spider-Man was better than Avengers, imo.

@Mr. Dead Pool:
Here, here. Though I lauded the return of Mockingbird (whose appearance and voice I really liked in this episode) in the story, they should try and do some earlier material, like that one where Wasp is mortally wounded by Count Nefaria and they have to go find this one scientist in the Arctic to get his help.  Either that, or the Avengers-Defenders War.

It will probably be better, and more linear then the comic Secret invasion was.

As much as I don't like the whole Secret Invasion story arc I think that having it on the Avengers might be a chance to do things right. And even if they started to hint things now I think that the main event might still be a long way from now. So far this show have done one thing right, placing subtle remarks and cameos for possible future developments (e.g. Mockingbird first appeared as the pilot for Hawkeye and Widow in the micro episodes) .

I hate everything about the way this cartoon is done, animation, voice acting, twists and tweeks to the storylines, but  that being said I still watch it and hope for the best because it's something I've been waiting on since 1980, an Avengers cartoon worth watching.

Just because they're bringing in the Skrulls already doesn't mean they're jumping ahead to Secret Invasion.  The Skrulls were causing s*** a long time before then.  In fact, based on last week's episode, it's more like they're just coming up on the Kree-Skrull War.

Meh. Secret Invasion is a good way to introduce the skrulls (probably) but I'm more interested in how the cosmic cube is coming into play.

Man, they got me with this episode. It was winding down, my mind started wandering, then they showed the Skrull and I yelled "Oh, s***!"
Good ending.

Secret invasion isn't the only time the skrulls have been a problem so there are many other possibilities aside from secret invasion and they're are many more characters to be introduced in order to have SI make any sense

I just want to know when Cap's going to take leadership of the Avengers. It got hinted about but I'm feeling that because of the current Ironman craze the writers will not put Cap in that possision.

Honestly, how do you people like the show.  I ususally just don't like Marvel animation.  Is it campy, or is it anything in the way JLA and JLA unlimited was done, and an older crowed can like it.

The Avengers series is very good. It is a nice blend of classic and new in there. I like how they have the Hulk there but mostly he is in the background.  It is in the same vein as Wolverine and the X-Men. Hopefully, this series will be around for more than 2 seasons.

Yep. It's confirmed. In the latest episode 26, "A Day Unlike Any Other". The episode ends with Captain America being replaced by a Skrull saying: "The invasion has begun". So I'm guessing we'll be seeing Secret Invasion coming up in the next few episodes.

Darn I love this series. First the super-villain breakout. Kang Dynasty. Ultron Imperative. Fall of Asgard. Now Secret Invasion.
