the New Avengers #41 - Marvel


I've got a sneaking suspicion here. And really, it's nothing more than conjecture on my part. But I'm wondering . . could this whole Skrull invasion thing be a set-up, by Marvel, to undo some of the changes they've made in the last couple of years? I'm just thinking out loud here, but . . so far we've learned that once killed the Skrulls revert to their natural form. But, what if they've been in place for so long that they honestly came to believe that their human infiltration was their natural form? My second question is, if a Skrull conspirator was killed, but then discovered by another Skrull, could they hide the dead Skrull's identity? Do they have that power? Where am I going with this? Who turned in Elektra's body to Tony Stark? Spider-woman! Well, by now we know that Spider-woman is actually the Skrull empress, or princess . . whatever. So, couldn't she have somehow covered up the fact that the dead body was actually a Skrull? Why would she give proof to Tony of thier plot? Unless it was to send all the heroes into a tail-spin . . they don't know what they know . . and what they don't. And if that's the case, then the Cap that was killed could actually be a Skrull conspirator, and . . maybe . . the one that returned in the Savage Land is telling the truth and he is the real one. It's SHIELD that's holding Cap's body, and we already know that SHIELD is rampant with the Skrull infestation. First of all . . it would undo Cap's death. They could bring him back, and explain it all away rationally. Secondly . . it could have a big impact on the whole Registration Act. What if the push for that piece of legislation was actually a Skrull plot to diminish the resistance that they might otherwise face? If all of the heroes were fighting amongst themselves, how could they ever, possibly, come together to face the Skrull threat. Once they find this out . . and that maybe some of the law-makers in place were also part of the plot . . they could basically undo the whole thing. I know this whole line of thinking is a leap. But it seems to me that the basis of most of the current story-lines is to throw more confusion in to the pot . . or plot. And why would that be, but to mire down the events that lead up to the current situation. There's so much going on, and things coming from so many different directions, that nobody seems to be asking the right questions . . or the hard questions. To me is seems we're being led astray because . . we don't know what we don't know. Like I said, it's purely conjecture on my part, but . . it's something to think about.
