Violence
Secret Invasion contains mild violence throughout the series, including fistfights, terrorism, and gunfights, all of which maintains minimal blood.
Some of the strongest moments of violence include:
- One man is strangled to death by rope and then hung from the ceiling around his waist.
- A man’s finger is cut off, with blood dripping from his finger briefly.
- Humanoid aliens have their throats slit with their blood spraying.
- An alien with healing powers is shot in the face and stabbed in the hand, among others things, but heals immediately.
- A man is impaled through the chest by sharp tentacles. Though this doesn’t show much blood or detail, it is still quite violent.
