Thank you, Scott Buck./s
To be fair though, even if the show was good we'd never see that. They seem really resistant to mixing the movie and TV characters, even when they do well.

So Buck needs to be fired and whoever is in charge of the TV division should give it back to movie people
Wasn't there something going on with two people and that's why the shows are kind of "separate" from the main MCU? Like it was Perlmutter and Feige right?

I can just imagine someone at Marvel Television screaming at them through a phone to take it down until someone ended up reluctantly complying.
I think they gave up on the idea because there isn't much in the show that even points to this being the direction they want to go. In fact,
one interaction with an obviously mutated Inhuman and some regular humans have the humans point out he is an Inhuman and just kind of laughs at it being cool. There is no persecution from humans, there is no hints or terrigen bombs, it's being played as a Royal Family/Attilan story for the most part.
I'm not even sure how much we might actually hear about the Kree or the Inhumans that already lived/live on Earth per Agents of SHIELD.
The idea is dead as far as I can tell whether this show fails or not.
I saw a lot of Kree writing, which was kind of cool but never referenced by the characters.
Otherwise nothing I can remember. Not even a reference to "the green guy" or some vague sort of reference like that when they see Black Bolt and Lockjaw appear and scare everyone. The closest thing I remember is that people on Earth apparently already know Inhumans are a thing, but it's not even presented like it has any connection to the events in AoS.

I was actually offered free tickets to this through work. Didn't even know they were doing screenings of this in the Netherlands.
I would have to go tonight, but even though it's free, I don't even want to bother. I have better things to do than sitting in a theatre until midnight watching this nonsense.
I did a quick check among friends and family if I could make anyone else happy with the tickets, and the vast majority didn't even know what this was. The ones who did didn't want them. Not even as a "free night out hate watch" thing - it's a weekday after all.
I guess they're going to another random employee now.

I will say that I think fans of the Inhumans will probably like how they presented Attilan.
I think that is the one aspect (including the world building) that will have me give the show a chance when it's on TV just since there is potential there for some cool storytelling.
But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they spend more time in Hawaii than on Attilan.

"You fought an immense, immortal, magical dragon in the wilderness surrounding an eternal city shrouded by mystery, and filled with the monks who founded Kung Fu? And you punched it in the heart, giving you incalculable mystic powers for a mortal?"
"Yes."
Easy to get up and leave.

There's a theater near me where every showing is basically completely open but then there is an 11:40PM showing that is sold out....that is weird.
Midnight showing are always for the real True Believers.

"Yes."
This is my favorite summary of Iron Fist that's ever happened.

I would have still been optimistic about Marvel TV and Netflix joining the MCU. Now that Buck has tainted both sides, it's over.

I was hyped to watch this when it was announced but I'm not really caring now.
You never know. Fantastic Four keeps coming back despite never having a decent movie and X-Men came back despite half the movies being hot garbage.

As soon as I saw this shit I knew it was shit.
Black Bolt can knock Hulk on his ass with a punch. Hulk!!!!! And here he is whincing in pain from a baton.
It will all make perfect sense when we find out he just had 4th wall breaking vision about this adaption.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
FF4 movies keep getting made because they have to. The IP has to be used every, I believe, 7 years or the rights revert back to Marvel.
The X-men movies make money, so that's really all that matters on that end.

My only interest in this was for Anson Mount (of Hell on Wheels) as one of the leads, but I don't know if I'll be tuning in. It doesn't seem like a fun-bad project, it doesn't seem like the kind of actor's showcase that I can at least see good work being done despite the bad final product, and it's not something I feel like I want to show support for in any way. Hopefully the stink won't stick to whichever good people were involved, at least.
I guess the thing with FF4, unlike X-men, is that every time they've tried to use it because the "have to" they LOSE money on it. X-men movies make bank, usually... FF4 hasn't been financially successful for them since 2005... and that just BARELY got a profit. The franchise has lost them far more money than it ever earned them, especially since they don't really get money off merchandising either (Marvel gets that, not Fox).
So when saddled with an IP that is NOT making them money, but they "need" to use it to keep making movies that aren't making them money, I'm not sure if it makes sense to hold on to it. It's costing them more than it's helping them.
What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? At this point, they've poisoned the brand enough that they could actually make a good film... but who at this point will be lining up to see the next Fantastic Four film? Unlike Spider-man, there was never a "golden period" to return to, no fond memories of the comic brought to life, no nostalgic praise for paving the way for future films...
Fox holds onto it because they keep thinking they can get something... somewhere... somehow... good out of it, despite two decades of evidence proving they really can't. It's why, at this point, they're looking to make films based on the SIDE characters instead... Doom, the Richard kids, etc... because they can't do the main group justice.
And the Incredibles 2 is coming out soon anyway.
yeah Black Bolt should never be getting his ass beat by regular humans
Yeah, Marvel shows don't like to be consistent when it comes to power levels. In Defenders,
. It's an annoying problem.
Luke Cage is unflinching when Iron Fist hits him with non-charged strikes, but gets knocked back when regular Hand Ninjas hit him. Similarly, Iron Fist actually hurts Luke Cage by a charged up glowing hand strike, he knocks back multiple people just by hitting the air but in the finale, hits regular Hand Ninjas with it and they react like it's a normal strike.

Iron Fist was turrible, so I'm not surprised. Wish this had stayed as a movie, as it likely would have turned out much better.

Not LITERALLY the X-Men, but something akin to them. Prior to the movie, they could've introduced the Inhuman royalty as a powerful group that aided during the Infinity War, then the movie could've focused on Terrigen Mist cloud turning people into new Inhumans and the royalty reaching out to them to help them understand their powers. Maybe introduce more "there are too many super powered beings wrecking everything" human governments that are banding together to round up the newly turned Inhumans, and have the Terrigen Mist being unleashed by Maximus to make Earth into an Inhuman world where he could rule as its Emperor. Basically have Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal and co as "mentors", the newly turned Inhumans as the main characters (Kamala Khan HAS to be there) and them fighting against both those that don't understand them, and Maximus (and his Terrrigen Mist cloud).

Well Fox has a lose-lose situation. Either keep using the rights and lose money or lose the rights and potentially watch a studio make a hit out of it
instead we got Inhumans on a vacation to Hawaii
OR... give Marvel a price and sell it back to them. It'd be the only money they'd see out of it in over a decade and half.

Honestly even if Marvel gets FF back they probably wouldn't make a movie right away. There's a reason why Blade, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and Punisher haven't been seen in movies yet
I'm hoping that Fox and Marvel working together to make TV shows (Legion, The Gifted) is a sign that a deal to have the FF in the MCU is in the works, similar to Spider-Man.

We can all hope but it doesn't sound like that's what's happening
I mean, last three have been relegated to ABC/Netflix land. Wont be shocked if thats where Blade goes too.

Vox's Todd VanDerWerff doesn't seem to have seen the IMAX cut of the first two episodes, but he has seen a rough cut of the TV version of the pilot, and wrote a not-quite-review of it:

Yup, ruined. As if all the previews and gifs didn't give us enough. Telling you, let shield(I saw last season and still think it's terrible), this show, and iron fist go. Let em go Marvel.

In a decade the inhumans will be resurrected as a MCU movie and this trash show will be thrown in the trash heap of history where it belongs
