Marvel's Inhumans

Premiered last night. I'm not familiar with the comic but I understood the show just fine. Honestly though I'm not really into the characters. The so-called "good guys", Black Bolt and Medusa, are not very likable. They come off as snobs because they are royalty. And from what I understand if you are born into their kingdom (on the Moon) and you don't get mutant powers you are forced to work in the mines as slave labor. It's kind of hard to feel bad for these royals when they get ousted by the human brother of the king. In short, they're dicks. Screw them.

So far the only thing I've liked about this show is the giant dog, Lockjaw. And there was far too little of him.

Wow, that picture alone is enough to turn me off the show. :(

It's a show that only a true comic book geek could connect with. For instance, the Medusa chick's super power is that her hair acts like tentacles. Her freakin' hair is her super power. :rolleye0014: :icon_lol:

Which one is she in the picture?

She's the one in front with the long red hair. They actually shave her head to strip her of her powers. I would have put that in spoilers had it not been so ridiculous. Her hair is her superpower and apparently barber clippers are her krytonite. How dumb is that? :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

So, does her hair turn into snakes or something? Does it scream when she cuts it? OMG, I can't even....

I thought you were kidding! I just KNEW that her hair turned into something or became snakes or something. Really? This is supposed to NOT be a joke? I laughed so hard at those gifs, and part of the comedy is her straight face as her hair gets all frisky.

What I don't understand is if her hair is so strong that it can toss people around why can it be so easily cut by a pair of clippers you'd find in a dog grooming salon?

BTW, I think heisenberg is right and this thing is probably already canceled. They are listing it as a "complete series" now, which pretty much means they're admitting it stinks. :icon_lol:

How long did it last?

It just premiered last Friday night on ABC. The plan is to put Agents of Shield on the same night as they are tangentially connected. ABC might run the whole series but I doubt it will get renewed after that. It really is bad. I also heard that AoS is on the chopping block and has only remained on TV due to pressure from Disney.
 
Not surprisingly this show is tanking. The writing is bad, the acting is bad, the CGI is bad -- or non-existent because the producers are cheap. By shaving Medusa's head they didn't have to use CGI on her for the majority of the season. (Not that anyone wanted to see her lame "magic hair", but this is a laughably obvious way of cutting the budget: shave her head and save some money! :icon_lol:)
