Lol, not at all surprised. Hopefully they give the Inhumans another go in a few years.

Either that, or wrestle away the rest of the MCU from Perlmutter since MCUtv under Ike is actively damaging the MCU brand as a whole.

Iron Fist was a misstep. They'll still salvage the character with other shows. Inhumans on the other hand is a big L for MCU because there's no chance any of these characters will pop up in another show without it getting the reboot treatment.
Minus the 'good' part. Just fast and cheap.
I'm with you here. All the interviews were really interesting and you could tell they might actually give a damn. Either that or their interview acting is Emmy worthy.

I just hope marvel just give them better stories so people can see they are much better than that boring mutants.

Iwan Rheon too deserves better than this. He was incredible in the Misfits, and obviously in GoT.

The joke is that you can only get two out of the three.

I'm convinced the Jeph Loeb who wrote great comics like Batman: The Long Halloween and Spider-Man: Blue isn't actually the same Jeph Loeb who does all this TV stuff.
It's the only logical explanation.

Marvel should just play nice with Fox and do good Xmen shows. Do people really like the Inhumans because they've been trying to push them for years.

They actually are doing X-Men shows with Fox. Legion happened and it was damn good television. They've also got a show called Gifted coming up and its first episode had positive reception from critics, I believe.
Dunno how involved Marvel TV are, though. At least enough to get credited.
Oh, so we did have a thread.
This is a stupid article. And anyone whose reaction isn't "Hey isn't that literally how they have promoted the show from the beginning" is also stupid.
Don't worry, it will still suck and very likely to get cancelled but fucking hell this stupid article is not evidence of it.

Complete refers to it not just being a cut-down version of the two first episodes showed into a cinema.

He calls himself black bolt so the cops thought he was black and they accidentally pulled out their nightsticks
Also they couldn't film without being super zoomed in
Why is her hair all over the poster?
Doesn't she get that shit shaved off in the first episode?

I'm aware of Legion, but even as good as it is, it would never be as popular as an X-Men live action show, assuming they could do it right.

I don't get the sense that this was greenlit with more than one season in mind, but I could be wrong.
If it had gotten great reviews and high ratings, the suits would have made sure it got a season two.
A cancellation is a cancellation.
And I don't disagree with that
What I'm saying is this isn't a cancellation.
This is how it's been marketed. I don't expect a second season, but this isn't a confirmation of that one way or another.

You'd need a budget bigger than Game of Thrones with the stuff that regularly goes down in X-Men comics.
Fantastic.
I wonder if it's too much to hope that this is a sign that negotiations are going well with Fox.
True, it's not an official cancellation, but it's a glimpse at what the thinking is behind the scenes.
Cancellation is just a network saying "we don't want to make more of this show." This isn't like the old It miniseries where they're adapting a novel over several hours of television and once they're done they're done. Inhumans clearly has enough material to go on for several seasons. But after the low ticket sales and bad critical reception from its Imax debut, the marketing is pushing the TV debut as "the complete series," and I don't feel like those things aren't related.
But again
1)This isn't a NEW poster
2)We are also in uncharted territory where a show has premiered in another format before premiering on TV so we can't even point to another series to be like this is how ABC traditionally words these type of shows and the likes

My guess is Feige stepped in and said FUCK THAT SHIT.
Penguin is right and this is a total bullshit clickbait story.
They've advertised the show for months using "complete series" as a way to differentiate from the IMAX debut. It's as simple as that. It has nothing to do with reaction to the IMAX run or anything. It doesn't say a damned thing about whether or not the show will continue. This is a fabricated story with fabricated headlines.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
The source in the OP is literally the equivalent of a forum post. It's not even 100 words. This seems extremely premature, even if it's likely.
Plus all the stuff Penguin has already pointed out.

no its not lmao
Let us forget about this show
try again in 10 years
This is how you ruin a character forever. lol
At least if he was nerfed I would get it, but it's not like the direction in the scene is "strain as hard as you can in pain to stop yourself, but something slips through." Looks more like popping a casual squat and grunting.

We could have had a "Legion" type Inhumans...
BUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a power struggle thing between Kevin Feige and Perlmutter. I'm thinking that when Marvel Studios decided to postpone or cancel the Inhumans movie, Perlmutter thought he could cash in on something a bunch of people were excited for, with minimal effort. Perlmutter has always been strict on budgets and spending, and it's why Fiege fought to get out from under his thumb and under Disney directly. It's also why the Marvel TV properties, Netflix and ABC, still had much smaller budgets than the WB stuff like Arrow and Flash etc.
Kevin Feige's battle against Perlmutter came to a head during filming of Captain American: Civil War

Didn't Buck Rogers (fron the 1970s) premiere in theaters as a movie first before the television series aired? Not exactly uncharted territory.

In the show's (very minor and completely undeserved) defense, this is just super sloppily cut for the trailer. In the actual scene he gets beaten like a chump then tazed, thus resulting in the squeak.
Why am I even explaining this?
The original Battlestar Galactica if I recall did the same.
How is fox gonna do that?

Yes, it was a money grab during Star Wars mania back in the day.
