    Okay dogg I know you don't like that era of X-Men but literally of the heroic Inhumans except for Black Bolt tried to help as many mutants as possible

    They weren't encouraging the mist. They worked with the X-Men to try and get any mutants in its path out of the way and gave all of their scientific resources to try and find a cure.

    Only one who should be blamed for it is Black Bolt and even then he had no idea about what it would do to mutants

    Especially because the Mutant Pox side effect literally did not exist when the Terrigen bomb went off. That entire storyline was forced in after the Secret Wars shuffle. The whole thing is bad writing put in place after the fact in order to create a rivalry that never existed prior to when the whole line got reshuffled. No one is in character for that because it was forced and retroactively made everyone worse.

    Okay, you guys are right. I think the whole dilemma of IvX, especially with the ending of ending the terrigen being some decision that required any consideration, soured me on inhumans.

    From what I've read of the Inhuman nation, they actually do seem pretty cool, divorced of that. But then Pirate coats will go a long way with me.

    I'm with you except for Lockjaw and Crystal:
    That idiot was riding IN THE DARK in a JUNGLE. The writers hit him. And that was Lockjaws fault 2nd, he controls where they go. And Crystal may be used to "All done." meaning all better and she's worried. She hasn't done enough to really develop a character. Well, she let the ocean distract her from her family being hunted down.... so OK, she's a little dumb.
    I don't know, Crystal's still pretty stupid.
    Why would I want to use my highly visible powers to create a highly visible display to help find the people I'm looking for? Oh! So I could make a signal! Sure, let's call down the lightning right here and now in the middle of this barn!

    And Lockjaw was written (here) to be less reliable as he got more worn out, and taking the royal family from the moon to earth one at a time apparently wore him out. So we can't really blame Lockjaw for landing in the middle of what was apparently a well worn trail. Of course the more likely reason is that Lockjaw's CGI is expensive so they can work around that by having him hit by a motorcycle and sleeping it off in a barn for a couple episodes, then teleporting just off screen for the majority of the time.
    Interesting to note: the teasers for the next episodes keep saying "X episodes until the season finale" instead of "Series finale", so I'm wondering if we might see a season 2 after all. Or if they just decided it wasn't worth the price of a pizza to get an intern to redub that line.

    Why the fuck would you advertise when the last episode is like that? It seems utterly counterintuitive to me

    IMAX officially apologized for the show and said in the future they'd make it clear they weren't throwing around Game of Thrones money.

    With IMAX pulling out the show is as dead as it can be until it actually is announced flat out.

    If it hasn't actually been canceled by the network, they're not going to say series finale

    See: every show canceled in their first season

    IvX drove me crazy with how it resolved the whole thing. Having Medusa give a speech about how not even one mutant life was worth the terrigen mist drives me insane as someone who read the X-books before and during the event, where it was very clear mutants were dying in droves due to the mist and Medusa still pushed against the terrigen cloud being destroyed. The fact the book doesn't really address the contradiction really bugs me, among other things about the whole shebang (and ironically enough, pushed the whole "Cyclops was right" thing one last time with his actions in Death of X being the same solution found 8 months later in story).

    I don't really blame the inhumans as a whole with it, but really just the fact that Marvel really should have had this event more ironed out than they did. Books written a year before your event should not contradict the main premise of the finale of your event.

    It's not dead last, but close. And since Marvel lost their funding partner, it's been slammed critically and most everyone thinks it's some flavor of bad it will take miracle for a renewal.

    A recasted Inhumans should be brought into the movies the same way Rhodey appeared in Iron Man 2 after the actor change

    Forget the royal family, just bring the Agents of SHIELD Inhumans into the movies.

    This is basically my feeling, but add to it how they basically completely fucked any vestige of the relationship between Emma and Scott.

    The sets are already featureless boxes stacked on top and inside of featureless boxes, right?

    With less of a budget, the characters will be portrayed by boxes, too.

    Lockjaw gets hit by a bus in the season premiere and now has to spend even more time in the barn just off camera. Listen to the big guy whine though, breaks my heart.
    Medusa likes the short hair look. Saves her so much time getting ready in the morning. Sure, she can't use her hair to do anything, but that's just part of blending in.
    Black Bolt is now glowering at only 75% max. Also, developing the sign language he uses is expensive, so his hands join Lockjaw in the "Just off camera" club. Up side: all jazz hands all the time now.
    Crystal now spends her free time in a night club. "What's this earth beverage called? Alcohol? We don't have that back in Attilan."
    Karnak's concussion is renewed, this time he walks into a low ceiling joist that his faulty concussion math vision told him would break if he head butted it right.
    Maximus is acting even crazier to try and convince the audience that he's the bad guy here. He's now literally chewing on the sets. A considerable portion of the budget is now spent on edible Attilan thrones.
    Attilan slave mines lighting budget is reduced a further 50%. Less light means less makeup effects.

    So we filmed every scene in front of a green screen that we couldn't afford to replace digitally? No problem! This entire season will be "The Inhumans vs. The Green Dimension!"

    Apparently Scarlett Johansson, Pom Klementieff, Tessa Thompson, Brie Larson, Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillen all "cornered" Kevin Fiege at the big MCU photo shoot and pitched an all-female Marvel team up movie, which he, according to the actresses, seemed very interested in.

    Mentioning this publically is a good call on their part as far as holding his feet to the fire on it.

    I think they did it because she gets her head shaved in the Marvel Knights series, although that was a third act escalation and not a first act fall from grace sort of situation.

    Also cause CGI Hair (no matter how crappy it looks) is probably expensive to animate.

    Holy shit, I think my buddy from high school is the villain in this game.

    That is his face and a slightly higher pitched version of his voice.

    I'm hoping when they do Runaways, the change the end of the season/ beginning of next season so the foster system isn't just cartoonishly terrible.
