At last: the grand finale of the kree-skrull war saga! And some beautiful intro art by John Buscema! This 8 part saga has been ambitious and fun, although it feels like it took forever to read. (Avengers #97):

What is the Kree-Skrull War (1971)?
The Kree-Skrull War is a Marvel Comics event published in (1971) that heavily focuses on the Avengers. This event is based around the long conflict between the alien races of the Skrull and the Kree, and a brief explanation of that conflict is below.
When the Skrull were expanding out from their home-galaxy on their quest to establish their inter-galactic empire, they happened upon the Kree home world, Hala. At that time, the Kree shared Hala with a plant-like species, the Cotati. The Skrulls developed a test to determine which race of beings on Hala was "worthy" and transported groups of Kree and Cotati to Earth's moon, where they established an area of Blue Moon on which the two groups would be left to their own devices to accomplish whatever they could. The accomplishments of the two groups were then judged, and the Skrulls judged the Cotati's accomplishments to be superior. The Kree were enraged by this, slaughtered all Skrull and Cotati on the moon, stole a Skrull ship, and reverse engineered their technology.
The Skrull home-galaxy, being very far from Earth, took some time to learn of what they interpreted as "Kree treachery." In that time, the Kree had established their own inter-galactic empire and had grown bold enough to decide to attack the Skrulls in their own home-galaxy. In the thousands of years of war that followed, the Skrulls became a more war-like people and the prosperity of both the Kree and Skrull empires grew. The two empires were engaged in a long, long-distance conflict fought on hundreds of planets and with periods of cold-war.
It is into this generational conflict that the Avengers were thrust in the nine-issue 1971 comic event, The Kree-Skrull War (1971), found in The Avengers (1963) #89-97.

Mar-Vell and Carol Danvers were not actually that close before she became Ms. Marvel, Rick Jones should be more involved in Mar-Vell legacy stuff (has he even met Teddy?)

Rick Jones summons thoughtforms of all the golden age marvel heroes. This is how I learned that characters like The Patriot and The Fin existed. Also here are: The Golden Age Vision, The Golden Age Angel and the Blazing Skull. (Avengers #97):

How would you pitch the Secret Invasion Disney Plus series?
Sometime after "Captain Marvel", the Skrulls managed to find a new world thanks to Carol Danvers pushing the Kree forces back. However, years later, the Skrulls split into two warring factions. One side, led by Gravik, wants revenge against the Kree. The other side, led by Talos, wants peace because he doesn't want a repeat of the Kree-Skrull War.
The schism leads to Gravik's faction infiltrating Earth. Their plan; use the leaders of Earth to push humans into a war with the Kree. Fury and Talos, knowing this would reignite the Kree-Skrull War and possibly destroy Earth, return to Earth to stop Gravik.
So, Gravik is a villain in the same mold as someone like Killmonger; you can sympathize with his motives, especially since the Kree are imperialist monsters, but you understand that his actions would destroy Earth.
