“You don’t look different, but you have changed. I’m looking through you. You’re not the same!” Those are the lyrics to 'I’m Looking Through You,' a 1965 song by the Beatles. Although the song was recorded decades before Secret Invasion, it can almost be considered an unofficial theme song to the Disney+ streaming series.

Just look at the fourth episode of the Marvel Studios espionage drama. Fury learns that one of his closest allies has been replaced by a shapeshifting Skrull. Not only is this ally one of the oldest characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but they have also been a member of the Avengers. This raises so many questions.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the latest episode of Secret Invasion!
