* G'iah using the main database at the Skrull hideout to discover Gravik's plan: to use genetics to evolve the Skrulls into something far stronger and deadly than they were before. How? By blending the genes of the DNA of creatures beaten or encountered by Earth, including [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Groot]], [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld Frost Beast]], [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Cull Obsidian]] and even ''[[Film/IronMan3 Extremis]]''. The Super Skrull may finally be here, but lord knows Earth is not ready for him.

* Talos loses his temper when Gravik keeps mentioning G'iah, stabbing him through the palm and threatening to break his neck. After Talos leaves, Gravik pulls his palm out through the knife, splitting his hand in two, only for it to regenerate with the unmistakable VolcanicVeins of Extremis. The Super Skrull isn't just a plan, it's already here.

* Raava (as Rhodey) wasn't bluffing when they said they'd leaked the video implicating him in Maria Hill's death. He's now the most wanted man in the world and he still has to fight the good fight.
* Gravik shows his loyalists his true colours when he callously murders Pagon simply for speaking up about his questionable choices in the war effort and decimates everyone when they try to overthrow him.

* During the same scene (and in the trailers), the first time Talos loses his temper and attempts to grab Gravik, everyone in the restaurant turns out to be a skrull and takes on Gravik's form surrounding Talos, just to show the extent of the skrull invasion and how seamlessly they can replace members of human society without even their own species knowing.

* Rhodey seemingly convinces the reluctant President Ritson to launch the nuclear strike against the Russian border, which will no doubt trigger World War III as we know it.

* The Harvest. A collection of the DNA of all the Avengers present in [[Film/AvengersEndgame the Battle of Earth]]. And Gravik's apparent intention is make Super-Skrulls with that DNA. Now imagine a bunch of Skrulls with Carol Danvers' powers, Hulk's SuperStrength, Spidey-Sense, or Thor's WeatherManipulation. Or far worse, a bunch of Skrulls with [[Characters/MCUWandaMaximoff the Scarlet Witch's]] [[RealityWarper powers]]. Or worst of all, ''[[AllYourPowersCombined all of them combined]]''.

** The sheer ease and callousness as Gravik presses the button on the detonator. There's no idling or trading words with Fury as we would expect your typical villain to do. He simply presses the button killing hundreds if not ''thousands'' of people and simply moves on. Hell of a way to establish yourself as a NoNonsenseNemesis...

** Nick Fury is trying desperately to find the other Skrull carrying the dirty bomb but can't see anything through the crowd of celebrating people. However, he spies a young girl - one he saw on his walk the other night - staring at him and enticing him to follow her. She disappears behind a food stall... and changes into the man who insulted him at the bar last night... then he changes into the woman who stared at him the night before. Then a cotton candy vendor's cart passes between "her" and Fury, and the Skrull is revealed to actually be ''Gravik himself.'' That's right, Nick Fury was being watched by the Skrull leader ''the entire time'' he's been in Moscow. And he was none the wiser. The look of bewilderment and terror on his face is justifiably palpable, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness considering this is Nick Fury we're talking about]].
** Gravik gives Nick Fury a smug DeathGlare as he pushes the detonator. And everything around him becomes nothing but fire and rubble as Fury, Hill and Talos try desperately to get to him, but he simply slips into the crowd of terrified pedestrians.

* Sonya's ColdBloodedTorture of one of Gravik's enforcers, Brogan, injecting him with a chemical that ''makes his blood boil to 160C/320F'' [[note]]for reference, that's around the heat level that household ovens operate at[[/note]]. While she certainly gets results, it's quite unnerving to see a seemingly ProperLady so casually inflict such gross levels of pain upon someone for information. And even when the Skrull gives it up, she simply leaves him there, knowing full well that Gravik would kill him for talking.
