Add as a preferred source on Google

Where in the world is Nick Fury? When we last saw the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury was taking a vacation on a Skrull spaceship in the post-credits of Spider-Man: Far From Home. On Earth, Talos and Soren were disguised as Fury and Maria Hill. It’s been four years since that post-credits scene, and Fury finally returns to the MCU in the new Disney+ series Secret Invasion.

Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role as Fury, who returns to Earth to investigate a covert mission by a faction of Skrulls seeking to invade and conquer Earth. To stop the Skrull invasion, Fury seeks help from three allies: Hill (Cobie Smulders), Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman), and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn). The spy thriller is the first Disney+ TV series in Phase Five of the MCU.

Secret Invasion is the first MCU TV series since She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which aired its season finale on October 13, 2022. The long layoff has added to the anticipation behind Secret Invasion. The Secret Invasion trailers have the same gritty feel of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, another spy thriller and one of the more successful entries in the MCU. Marvel is at a crossroads coming off Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a box-office disappointment, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the end of a trilogy. Seeing how Secret Invasion shapes future entries in the MCU will be an intriguing development and one worth watching.

The first two episodes of Secret Invasion have received mainly positive reviews, with the darker tone and Jackson’s performance being praised. Secret Invasion opened with a 66% on the Tomatometer and a 66 Metascore.

Spotify’s new Running Mode takes workout playlists to another level
Running mode on Spotify

Finding music for a run sounds easy until you actually try. Your favorite playlist might work perfectly for a relaxed jog, then feel completely wrong when you’re pushing through intervals. And after hearing the same handful of workout songs for the hundredth time, even a good playlist can start feeling painfully predictable.

Spotify thinks it has a better solution. Its new Running Mode is now rolling out to Premium subscribers using Android in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden, and rather than simply handing you another workout playlist, it builds one around the run you’re about to do. That means Spotify can factor in everything from how long you plan to run to the kind of workout you want, the music you like, and even the tempo that matches your stride.

YouTube is making view counts bigger, but creators aren’t getting any richer
YouTube is changing what a ‘view’ means, and everyone’s numbers are going up
YouTube

If you suddenly find your YouTube videos popping off, it might be because of view inflation. Starting August 24, 2026, YouTube is changing how it counts public views. A view will register from the moment a video begins playing — starting with its very first frame — with the same system applied globally across long-form videos, Shorts, and livestreams.

YouTube adds that creators should expect their total public view counts to increase faster as a result. In other words, getting someone to stick around is no longer necessary for that big public-facing number to tick upward.
