The last time they gave it some serious effort, in ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', even after years of planning and infiltration they still got their asses kicked - though it should be noted that that was a desperate remnant after Galactus ate their homeworld and the Annihilation Wave tore apart the rest, and they still came scarily close to succeeding.

* CreateYourOwnVillain: The Skrulls have no-one to blame but themselves for the Kree, since it was Emperor Dorrek I who made first contact with early Kree, and who pissed them off enough for the Kree to decide to murder them and steal their ship.
* SpaceColdWar: For a while, their war with the Kree had wound down into a stand-off, but without actual war. Then the Skrulls found some insignificant blue-green planet they'd long passed back in a backwater galaxy. Then the Kree found it as well. Both races running afoul of mankind nearly caused the war to turn hot again.
