To think, we clowned Captain Marvel for years and now it sounds like her movie's gonna be a helluva lot better than whatever they could have come up with for this.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Literally all they had to do was adapt the Paul Jenkins book and season 2 could have been based on Silent War.

That Jenkins series was basically MADE to be adapted to TV.

 

[Qvoth]

Buck and Loeb know what's coming.

ramsay bolton is in this? i had no idea

 

[mreddie]

wait the same guy who showran ironfist S1 showran this? didnt know that. but ironfist was terrible. Like, bad lines, bad tropes, not even good fighting really. why do people let this guy do super hero shit. hes like uwe boll of ruining comic books

They hired him before Fist premiered and the week after the announcement, Fist was screened and the reviews came in.

[The Kree]

It's not the subject, it's the talent. This didn't have to happen.

 

[Snarky(HEART)]

Lockjaw actually looking great and adorable makes this WORSE somehow

 

[Jason Frost]

Buck and Loeb know what's coming.

Rule 34 with Lockjaw?

ramsay bolton is in this? i had no idea

It's a shame because he's actually a really good fit for the part.

 

[Korigama]

Ike is getting his payback from the Mutant Depush before the Mutant TV rights, watch Gifted get better reviews...oh wait, it is.

Feige never liked Inhumans. This is all Perlmutter pushing a property as hard as he can because he's pissed that Fox is holding the rights to the X-Men. But once Feige staged his coup, Perlmutter no longer had any say for the movies.

Ah, so only Perlmutter ever gave a crap about Inhumans. Not too surprising. The Gifted didn't look particularly good either, yet at the same time I suppose one would have to actually try to do worse than Scott Buck.

 

[Nesotenso]

I feel sorry for the actors involved

 

[D i Z]

Goddamn. Just can this already. It looks so bad, no one is walking away from this looking good.

 

[mreddie]

I feel sorry for the actors involved

They thought they were getting KING MARVEL, they got Marvel with Howard the Duck.

 

[Salty Rice]

People should stop talking about Scott Buck.

You all give the guy more credit and attention than he deserves.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Boy, the hair and makeup people for the show must really have a grudge against Medusa's actress.

They did her a huge disservice.

.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

This show has "Swamp Ass" written all over it.

 

[Patryn]

Yeah, the only reason there was ever going to be an Inhumans movie is that Perlmutter was blocking the Captain Marvel movie, which was Feige's passion project. They then cut a deal where they both got a movie, but then Feige took full control of the movie side and immediately jettisoned the film he never wanted to do in the first place.

But if we don't talk about the problem, how will everyone else know what the problem is?

 

[The Kree]

You have to work hard to make Serinda look bad.

But if we don't talk about the problem, how will everyone else know what the problem is?

Whisper it in someones ear.

 

[Fuchsdh]

To be fair Karnak can bee wacky, he found the flaw in Death and punched himself back to life

That reads like the outcome of a drunk "can god create a burrito so hot even He cannot eat it"-type argument that spilled into comics.

I'm baffled at how they could even do that. Shit is crazy.

Grounded.

You know, a show where they have A FUCKING TELEPORTING DOG!

SHIELD was grounded til they involved Asgardians...12 episodes in!

 

[error4041]

If Buck messed up explaining Karnak's powers, just be glad he didn't have to explain a person that got turned into a door that teleport you anywhere, that later got it's own body.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

What makes it even more strange is given how season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ended, they could have just had the entire season 5 be based around introducing the royal family. And I would have faith that they would have done it well.

Looks like Quake will be the only Inhuman worth a damn in the MCU. AoS has introduced the concept well enough that the royal family aren't needed, even if Lockjaw is cute.

 

[Hierophant]

why does scott buck get a pass from execs to ruin tv shows when literally everything i've seen from him is fuckin ass?

(going off this list http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0118420/ , keeping in mind that, no i have not seen rome or six feet under or what assuredly is his masterpiece, TREMORS 4)

 

[Bronx-Man]

To be fair, the other half of the blame belongs to Jeph Loeb.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

That reads like the outcome of a drunk "can god create a burrito so hot even He cannot eat it"-type argument that spilled into comics.

It's not quite as weird, there was an inhuman who basically absorbed the souls of other dead Inhumans and contained them in his own personal purga...nevermind it's pretty fuckin weird.

 

[mreddie]

To be fair, the other half of the blame belongs to Jeph Loeb.

Ike, Loeb and Buck, trifecta of suck.

 

[Hierophant]

i'm still burnt by the dexter finale like who watches that and thinks he can do another show?

hell i fuckin sat through iron fist, that was actual hot garbage who looks at that and says lets go again

 

[Cuburt]

If you think about it, the Inhumans really are Marvel's X-Men but not because they're mutants but because Scott Buck is Marvel's Brian Singer.

 

[darkhunger]

If you think about it, the Inhumans really are Marvel's X-Men but not because they're mutants but because Scott Buck is Marvel's Brian Singer.

Even Bryan Singer had a couple of good ones... what has Buck done recently that's good?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Looks like Quake will be the only Inhuman worth a damn in the MCU. AoS has introduced the concept well enough that the royal family aren't needed, even if Lockjaw is cute.

It's funny. The "Nu-Humans" that Marvel was pushing on the comic side another option to mutants wasn't received well at all. But that was the side of Inhumans that ended up being done well in the MCU, while the royal family -- the Inhumans people cared about -- was apparently botched.

And by funny, I mean depressing.

 

[ZeoVGM]

If you think about it, the Inhumans really are Marvel's X-Men but not because they're mutants but because Scott Buck is Marvel's Brian Singer.

If I think about it, that... still makes absolutely no sense.

In all fairness to Buck et al., even the non-Iron Fist Netflix shows have suffered heavily from the Singer-esque "we have to keep this grounded and not lean too far into the fantastical/comic-booky vibe" syndrome.

It's a lot easier to defend that approach with street-level source material, of course.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Don't let Scott Buck touch another Marvel property again. Please.


I'm going to hatewatch this show. It's a damn shame that Inhumans was turned into a television series.

If you think about it, the Inhumans really are Marvel's X-Men but not because they're mutants but because Scott Buck is Marvel's Brian Singer.

Bryan Singer made X-2,one of the best marvel movies and some other decent films.I don't get this comparison at all

 

[darkhunger]

Goes along with everything else in Marvel in general. The most prominent or popular Marvel characters (X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, etc.) tend to get the worse movies as a result of rights ownership and politics.

 

[J_Viper]

Does Fiege hate the Inhumans?

I thought Phase 4 of the films was supposed to focus on them, with Dom Toretto as Black Bolt.

How the fuck did this go so wrong?

 

[mreddie]

Agents of SHIELD saving those Inhumans again?

This is show with a giant teleporting dog, a woman who can control her hair and a dude who has a voice that can level mountains with a whisper.

Anyone attempting to ground it is foolish.

 

[hydruxo]

I feel bad for the cast.

Same. Anson Mount is an awesome actor, sucks what this show turned out to be.

I doubt Feige hates Inhumans. He more likely just didn't care enough about the property to keep it on the Studios side, especially if giving it up made it easier to free Studios from Perlmutter.

 

[DrSlek]

Loeb & Buck: The Ruiners™

Coming Soon!

 

[DerekOfTheDykes]

Karnak's power is finding someone's weakness and exploiting it.

With his fists.

How can you fuck that up?

Then again, these guys made fucking Iron Fist. A show that took a guy who hits stuff good and turned it into a show where everyone stops so he can make his fist glow real slow and corporate espionage.

It's even more depressing when the template for this was basically already laid out in the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes films.

Even if you don't want to straight copy that, it's easy. Just go slowmo, have Karnak scan around and notice the weak point, focus camera close up on said weak point with a subtle audio cue, then Karnak crumples a dude. Do that 2 or 3 times and people will get it, Karnak punches things in the worst place for that thing to be punched.

 

[LotusHD]

Oof.

LOL

 

[J_Viper]

Same. Anson Mount is an awesome actor, sucks what this show turned out to be.

It's okay he has Evil Within to fall back on

Blame Ike, not Feige.

Oh right, I forget dropping Inhumans from the film franchise was part of a dispute between the two

Damn, in that case, I understand why Fiege would sacrifice Inhumans but...damn

 

[Fancyarcher]

Not only is Scott Buck a poor writer, but he can't handle criticism well. Joy!

The Inhumans sounds like a frigging disaster, and the IMAX screening thing, is hands-down the worst IMAX decision ever. It doesn't look cinematic, not even on a TV show level. It looks like crap.

 

[The Kree]

Feige wants to make movies. Perlmutter wants to sell merch.
