Link.

Marvel’s Inhumans cancelled already? Ahead of the superhero drama’s primetime premiere, ABC is seemingly preparing for the worst.

The network is advising viewers to see “the COMPLETE series” from Sept. 29, rather than the ‘first season,’ suggesting Season 2 plans have already been cancelled.

Has ABC already given up on the limited series, which was poorly received upon its IMAX release, or simply hedging its bets?

The marketing suggests a one-and-done cancellation. Will a heroic ABC run change that? Stay tuned…

 

[caliph95]

Well that was quick

 

[LotusHD]

Neat.

 

[strafer]

more like incancelled.....amarite?

bad

 

[Bluth54]

Well that was quick

But not all that surprising.

 

[friskykillface]

Welp

 

[charpunk]

I always thought this was a limited series?

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Best move in my opinion. With that terrible showing in IMAX, it was either stay the course and lose money or end it after one season to save money.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Haha, that's hilarious. But I think we all called it months ago.
At least we got a Christopher Priest mini-series out of this shitshow. And a couple of fun GAF threads.

 

[Salty Rice]

Everything according to plan.

"What do you want? We said you gonna give you Inhumans and we did."

Sadly it turned out to be Inhumass.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I can't believe the Inhumans were squandered as a property like this. It's almost darkly comical how much they've been wasted.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Is this the one with the giant dog?

 

[Saya]

Let us forget about this show

try again in 10 years

Ah yes, everybodies favourite superhero, man with vibrating lips. How could that ever not be a hit?

Some Taken 3 level of bad cuts.

Give up Marvel, you aren't going to make Inhumans replace X-Men. You're better off just pushing Lockjaws solo career.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

At this point Fox is gonna introduce Kamala Khan as a mutant just to rub salt at Marvel.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Rip comically large cgi dog. I love you and I'm in love with you.

 

[jon bones]

At this point Fox is gonna introduce Kamala Khan as a mutant just to rub salt at Marvel.

you have it backwards, Marvel is rewriting her origins for the MCU to work sans-Inhumans

 

[JadedWriter]

So it ends with one of the characters becoming a lumberjack?

 

[SpaceWolf]

I do feel sorry for the actors. For the most part, they seemed really passionate about the series and seemed really excited about being involved. Can't help but think about Anson Mount learning 30 pages of an imaginary sign language for something like this.

 

[BatDan]

What a mess. A shame too, the Inhumans had potential. I enjoyed them in the Fantastic Four. Instead we get... trash.

At this point Fox is gonna introduce Kamala Khan as a mutant just to rub salt at Marvel.

Nah, she'll be retconned into having her powers be cosmic or something.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

If Inhumans must die for Ms Marvel to live in the MCU, I'm cool with that.

This looks like a police brutality-filled gum ad.

Dexter, Iron Fist, Inhumass how does this guy still get work.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

When you think about it, Marvel really can give less a fuck about comics if it doesn't fit the MCU.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Dexter, Iron Fist, Inhumass how does this guy still get work.

 

[Sir Doom]

So TV Cancellation Thread can have subtitles of Inhumass or Inhumess

 

[Prompto]

Dexter, Iron Fist, Inhumass how does this guy still get work.

Still riding that Six Feet Under and Rome buzz.

Also he gets things done cheaply and quickly apparently.

 

[Funky Papa]

And so, despite its awful growing pains, AoS will continue to be the better Inhumans show.

 

[Effect]

I still don't understand why they thought they could do this if they were never at the very least going to give it the budget it needed.

 

[Rhaknar]

holy shit

 

[Patryn]

I still don't understand why they thought they could do this if they were never at the very least going to give it the budget it needed.

Ike Perlmutter really, really, really wanted to stick it to Fox and seemed hellbent on the idea that he could force the Inhumans to be more popular simply by throwing it out there and he has the pull and clout to force the project to come to fruition. Sadly, it was always Feige who made the MCU work.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I guarantee you the MCU will change Kamala Khan’s story to make her powers completely unrelated to the Inhumans.

 

[Shaanyboi]

What a fucking shit show...

In all fairness, they were undoubtedly going to do this anyway.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Kamala is now a founding member of the Fantastic Four.

 

[the_firewithin]

Doomed from the first time we saw how terrible Medusa looked

What is even happening here?

 

[Patryn]

What is even happening here?

That's Black Bolt. When he speaks, it's super destructive.

I think after getting hit with the nightstick, he cries out in pain or something and that's the force coming out of him.

Except Black Bolt is supposed to also be super strong and tough, so a cop's nightstick should do nothing to him. Also, there's no reason for him to squat like he's taking a shit when he uses his power.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Hopefully the Buck stops here.

 

[dcelw540]

Please leave her out of this mess. She's my favourite inhuman

 

[graffix13]

What is even happening here?

Blackbolt, King of the Inhumans and invulnerable, is getting beat like a bitch by New York's finest.

Go back to da moon, ya bum!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Man, we've gotten so much use out of that one terrible Inhumans .gif. Imagine how many great .gifs we'll have once people get their hands on the show.

There's also the thing where he has trained not to utter a sound under any circumstances, as doing so could potentialy kill millions of people. But here I guess he let the training slip

 

[Hot Coldman]

why the fuck would you make Inhumans on a network TV budget

 

[Confusion Illusion]

This just liked Marvel shitting out something quick to appease someone.

 

[BatDan]

Black Bolt in the comics is top tier. His screams could stop a rampaging Hulk.

But like a lot of other MCU characters, he's been nerfed hard. This is probably one of the more insulting nerfs.

I still can't get over that one clip where Medusa contacts him and he answers by holding up his communicator to his heart. Why would you give the guy that isn't allowed to speak a VOICE communicator? Give him something to text you stupid fucks.
