Not gonna lie, you come across like someone who had an embarrassing run of bad luck with your dick hydraulics recently

Okay frothing socially inept weirdo

Let's not kid ourselves that any of this is part of the "MCU".

They won't succeed. It'll look terrible and creepy.

Why does someone "have" to admit something that dumb is "gloriously" dumb? It's just sad how dumb it is. It's boring and embarrassing; you'd need to have developed Stockholm syndrome around that show to start searching for silver linings in it.

I like the Inhumans, but be a realist: they're a niche product and even Guardians had a much, much more successful revival in the books to suggest their mainstream movie success.

If there's one thing I wouldn't pitch an Inhumans project on, it's their existing fanbase.

They also tend to interact with everyone else through gigantic, poorly-planned wars, at least in recent stories. It's not a great set-up for a TV show, especially one that will have to play around the edges of the movies without fully diving in.

The "point" of the Inhumans were as rough drafts for better Kirby stories later with different characters. I like them, but they're not cut out for mass consumption. And unlike the Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel hasn't had much luck in the books with reinventing them, either.

People's memories are short. The Scarlet Witch's powers were reasonably well defined when she first appeared (point hands, cause minor contextual misfortune). It took decades of story twists and the introduction of Marvel-style sorcery into the mix to reach the state she occupies now (think briefly, change universe).

Not really. They showed a steady progression from a consistent small-scale gimmick (causing minor misfortunes for others) to larger scale manipulation of reality, and from there to occult training based on the idea that her abilities made her a natural user of certain types of magic.

I'm worried it won't ignore the approach of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I'd go a little farther than that: Inhumans, the movie series, could be a work of weird genius with enough money thrown at it. Inhumans, the TV show, has no legs at all. It could survive as neither a quip- nor quirk-fest; it would need to be almost absurdly serious to work.

Yup. I wish they'd just let it be if they're uninterested in sinking money into it.

:-/ Right… psychedelic Kirby space opera on a TV budget. Somehow. Or: a limp spin-off of their famously disastrous attempt at this exact same project on another show.

Don't forget "Hancock", possibly the most egregious misuse of a script that would have done contemporary popular cinema a world of good had it been made in a more faithful manner back in 2008.

It's only gotten more useful as Hollywood has grown more dedicated to assembly-line thrillers and horror movies as low-risk enterprises. Anyone equipped with it can guess the ending of 75% of new movies in those genres.

Then the time has come for you to adopt it for a few seconds so you can join in the fun of abandoning it. Its abandonment is all the rage right now!

Oh… but they don't know what I have planned. Heh heh

I like this Mark Chater guy a whole lot. Sort of a Mike Allred feel to him.
