I think its a great opening.

Temporary insanity?

Yes, in episode 20 when we see Simmons give Kara the okay.

I thought the rumor was no more X-men, not mutants - the two aren't the same thing.

There is a difference between the X-men (a specific team of mutants) whose rights are with Fox, and any mutant. I can see Fox having gotten the rights to "The X-men" and if Marvel creates new X-men members that are big hits, Fox still has right to the team, as they do for the term 'mutant', but Fesi has never been an…

The character was created in 2009, after the MCU existed and long after Marvel's deal with Fox. While Marvel can't use the term "mutant", I highly doubt that in the 90's they signed away the film and TV rights to any characters that they had yet to create.

The character first appeared in 2009 in the Secret Warriors Comic, which is significantly AFTER Marvel had sold those rights to Fox. Its highly unlikely that Marvel's deal covered any characters they might subsequently create that happened to be mutants.

Forgets?

Originality is no virtue in terms of storytelling, and lack of originality is no vice.

May would have happily kept Creel locked up - that he ended up on a mission was because of Talbot, whose cooperation was needed. All May said to Hunter was, well, live with it.

I am a bit curious about what path the MCU could take with a bunch of beings with superpowers appearing out of the population at large and being known to that population that could be different than the role given to "mutants" originally in the Marvel universe. And how is this a "cheap" knockoff? What makes a "mutant"…

When did May have to work with Kara on a mission?

Come on, Sava would have geeked out at his mention (just like he geeked out over Manthing getting a mention) and then would write a long dissertation about the problem with whomever they cast him as. It does seem the show is keeping the Aborigine background, given it was the Aussies keeping him imprisoned and under…

Question is for how long is SHIELD going to keep him in medical…

The internet ships everything - specially when it involves two very attractive people.

Given how many balls the writers have put in the air, I doubt anything will get too much time. They are going at full throttle it seems.

Creel got his powers from experimentation - the fact his blood can act as a 'vaccine' appears to be side effect, not his power.

I doubt the Sanctuary will actually happen in the show, particularly because it is obviously a Malick inspired plot to get Inhumans for Hive, so it will be stopped somehow.

Back in 1996 the template for citywide destruction was WW2 and nukes, and certainly what Independence Day went for.

The script for this movie was written before AOS and its writers were given the okay to do their own version of the terrigen bomb, so expecting this movie to address that was always unlikely. They do obviously bring in superpowered people whose origins they haven't addressed, so it is possible that they will speak…
