Someone should kick sense into Kevin Feiges brain if he produces these movies as a two parter with other movies inbetween.

Its not going to be a two parter like Harry Potter or Hunger Games. Its Avengers 3 and 4, booth with closed stories and Thanos wont get the full Gauntlet until 4.

The way you describe it makes it sound like a two-parter though.

I'm pretty sure it's a two-parter, even if both movies "work as solo stories".

 

[Pachimari]

Inhumans panel has started!

Jeph Loeb coming out wearing Medusa's wig lol:

Medusa taking back what is hers:

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Doctor Doom movie is happening.

Fuck.

 

[Einchy]

Doctor Doom movie is happening.

Fuck.

NooooooooooOoooo

 

[Anth0ny]

Doctor Doom movie is happening.

Fuck.

Don't lose hope friend. Sinister Six movie was happening too.



Then the miracle deal was struck.

 

[Pachimari]

About Medusa's hair:

The hair will move and be wonderful, per Jeph Loeb.

Loeb reaffirming that Medusa's hair will in fact have a CG element.

About Black Bolt and no lines:

Loeb says Black Bolt won't have any lines EVER. No flashback or magic surgery

About IMAX cameras:

Roel Reine talks shooting #Inhumans on IMAX cameras. "They built a special lens for our show."

there's an IMAX screening after the panel if you're at sdcc

About Maximus:

Iwan's Maximus takes advantage of the fact that not everyone in Attilan is happy with Black Bolt's rule.

.@iwanrheon talks showing the human side to Maximus. "He's more of antagonist, than a villain.

Iwan's Maximus is more of an antagonist than a villain - wants to break the caste system inhumans find themselves in aka not Mad

Video of the cast's introduction: Part 1. Part 2.

Auran:

Sonya Balmores took "serious boxing lessons" for her role as Auran.

Action scenes:

Mike Moh confirms that the action scenes in the series are crazy

Crystal:

Isabelle (Crystal) spends most of her time with an invisible CGI'd 2000 lb pupper

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

What is this Inhumans you speak of?

 

[Einchy]

More like...inhumane! SNAP

 

[Bronx-Man]

Doctor Doom movie is happening.

Fuck.

I want the damn F4. Done RIGHT.

 

[Pachimari]

The audience there will get a screening of Inhumans. So we'll at least get impressions.

Lockjaw everywhere:

Medusa's hair weights 2kg btw.

Jeph Loeb teases Agents of Shield and Inhumans crossover:

Jeph Loeb teases potential #Inhumans and #AgentsofSHIELD crossover!

Impressions:

We're about to get our first look at #Inhumans with a scene from the beginning of the first ep, featuring Triton.

We just saw one of the opening #Inhumans scenes with green-skinned Triton trying to save a young Inhuman, but being hunted by military

Triton goes to Earth because he's heard of #Inhumans there...

First teaser shows Triton on Earth where Inhumans have been popping up.

We were shown opening footage and the establishing shots were gorgeous. Lots of action with Triton.

New character:

Jeph announced that Ellen Woglom will play Louise, an original human character who crosses paths with the #Inhumans

Ellen Wheaton will play an original character names Louise. Only person without powers on the main cast

Sign language:

Looks like Black Bolt talks through Sign language, pretty cool

Maximus turn begins. Blackbolt uses sign language not telepathy to communicate

Anson Mount got help from the linguistics and signing communities to build a lexicon for how Black Bolt communicates.

The sign language is made up and was a collab - lots of mish mash of movements based on things like orchestra conductors

Medusa doesn't always translate Black Bolt word for word, bc she's opinionated and sometimes disagrees with him

They did work with asl tutors and the deaf community while developing the signs

Second clip impressions:

2nd clip shows a tense family dinner where the Royals learn about the #Inhumans descendants on Earth. Medusa's hair is...red...

Excited by the scenes they are showing of @theinhumans This looks good folks.

The dinner scene did make me more excited for the show than the first clip they showed us with Triton

The visuals they've shown are impressive.

The clips they're showing for #Inhumans are impressive. Definitely going to be one intense show.

Gorgon:

Gorgon has hooves

 

[Fhtagn]

Doctor Doom movie is happening.

Fuck.

Director of Legion and Fargo, I guess it could be worse news.

 

[Pachimari]

To me it seems like the royal family have heard about all of the Inhumans popping up everywhere from the pill distribution from Agents of Shield, and thus they've come to Earth. Thus, connected. Dunno. Seems obvious.

I should be sleeping but this shit is keeping me awake.

The only character who look 10x time better is lockjaw

Ken Leong is constantly challenged by his role and it stretches him like no other role.

Playing Karnak was "daunting" because "he was so formidable," says Ken Leung

A third clip is being presented (Gorgon and Karnak):

And now an action scene from later in the show featuring Gorgon and Karnak!

Karnak's strategic mind on display! Think Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes

Alright, this Karnak fight scene was pretty cool

Third clip is an action sequence between Karnak, Gorgon, and their respective adversaries.

Fight scene with Gorgon and Karnak after Maximus makes his move. WOW. TERRIFIC. GREAT ACTION.

Karnak and showing his power on screen was AWESOME

Dope action sequence with Karnak & Gorgon. They really nailed Karnak.

Gorgon and Karnak fighting is a delight to watch! As Nick puts it, Karnak can save scum

Several clips for #inhumans SHOWN, but it just doesn't look very good.

Karnak has a very narrow vision of how he sees life. He visualizes different ways a situation can unfold.

Fight sequence between Karnak & Gorgon vs Maximus henchmen. Karnak gets shot. But lets him rewind time and redo the fight.

(they probably mean it's on his mind as opposed to being straight up rewind)

Crystal can fly:

Flying. YOu know who can fly? Crystal

Inhumans symbols that Coulson saw:

Lots of glimpses of the alien (Inhuman) symbols that drove Coulson crazy in S2 of #AgentsofSHIELD

The score:

Sean Callery (Jessica Jones) doing the score for Inhumans.

Fourth clip (Medusa hair):

They're talking about @SerindaSwan Wig & Showing Footage!

Medusa's magical hair on display! (Ps: it does make the wig look better)

We got to see a clip of Medusa's hair moving. It was pretty great

Medusa kicks ass. Oh and the hair looks great in action.

tense stand-off between Maximus and Medusa. First glimpse of Medusa's hair in action/motion

Just saw Medusa's hair in action for the first time in a clip. Who knew static electricity could choke a guy?

Seeing Medusa chock Maximus with her hair was awesome! Inhumans is going to be great!

Medusa is not just an extension of Bolt. She's her own character.

"There are such strong female characters. Was an insistence that she wasn't going to be an interpreter" -@SerindaSwan on Medusa

On visual effects:

In the first 2 hours of #Inhumans alone, there are 600+ VFX shots.

Maximus:

Iwan was afraid of being typecast after Ramsey. Also Maximus has no powers after Terrigenisus

.@iwanrheon describes Maximus as revolutionary, ruthless, a family man, and a Shakespearean-type of character.

More impressions:

As a long time Inhumans fan, I'm incredibly happy to report all of the footage they've shown so far has been great.

 

[Pachimari]

We're closing the #MarvelTVSDCC panel with a new #Inhumans trailer that will be online shortly!

So we are getting a new Inhumans trailer any moment now.

There will be an extended trailer for #Inhumans before Dunkirk (which we're watching now)

Trailer is here!

The fucking Lockjaw hell yeah!

Medusa!

 

[mreddie]

I still don't trust Buck.

 

[Einchy]

lol @ the only human song. First Mass Effect and now this.

Second trailer was much better than the first but it's still not good and why the hell does this still look so cheap? The cinematography couldn't be anymore bland.

 

[Pachimari]

I still don't trust Buck.

He's all like:

 

[BrokenFiction]

io9 said it went from Bad to Meh. Can't disagree yet but maybe it will go from Meh to Huh.

 

[fallengorn]

Medusa's costume is just terrible. Her dress really needs a pattern or texture. It just looks bland and cheap.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I'm hearing something on twitter about Fox having a train for a mutant interment camp near the Convention. What the fuck?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Doctor Doom movie is happening.

Fuck.

RIP

 

[Mariolee]

io9 said it went from Bad to Meh. Can't disagree yet but maybe it will go from Meh to Huh.

Glowing review.

If this is at least as good as AoS season 1 I guess I'll watch it.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

The way you describe it makes it sound like a two-parter though.

I'm pretty sure it's a two-parter, even if both movies "work as solo stories".

Think of it like Winter Soldier and Civil War.

 

[El Topo]

Glowing review.

Very positive impressions of clips and snippets of footage at SDCC? Unheard of. Trailer isn't good.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Oh right, The Punisher logo.

 

[IHaveIce]

Fuck. Doom movie not done by marvel will be shit.

 

[okdakor]

Trailer is here!

The fucking Lockjaw hell yeah!

Still ass, even with the CG hair...
And I hope there's a running joke with Lockjaw dropping monstrous shits

 

[Sambrez_]

Idk, Fox has been good lately with Deadpool and Logan. Maybe not focusing on the F4 will be good this time.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Idk, Fox has been good lately with Deadpool and Logan. Maybe not focusing on the F4 will be good this time.

I dont think a approach like this works. Unlike Marvel and DC, Fox has no Comicbookmovie-Group who sit around and make everything working. Thats why you get a good movie, then a trashfest, and then again a good movie again.

 

[strafer]

Serinda Swan is beautiful, she doesnt deserve this shit.

 

[SpaceWolf]

There have been more than one Spider-Women and many of them are related to Spider-Man though...

Right, but not Jessica Drew is my point.

While we wait for the Inhumans panel, here's some easter eggs reddit pointed out from today's Defenders promo:

The purpose of that Stark Industries poster confuses me. What is it supposed to be implying?

 

[Pachimari]

The dog above all dogs has brought the crew!

Iwan Rheon was afraid to be typecast taking on the role as Maximus:

”My fear was I'd be doing the same thing again," Rheon said. ”It's that fear of being typecast and you just end up repeating yourself, but as we discussed it more and more, I realized that wasn't at all what we were trying to create with the show."

”[He's this] young man who went through terrigenesis and he became nothing," Rheon explained. ”In this society, which is all about what power you have, he's the lowest of low. The only reason he's not working down in the mines is because he's the brother of the king — even though he feels like he'd be a much better king — and he's a man of the people."

Nice cape for Valkyrie:

 

[shingi70]

KInhumans looks so disappointing, I know the budget is way lower but the art destiny should have followed that of Guardians and Thor Ragnarock.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Think of it like Winter Soldier and Civil War.

That doesn't really work here. IW sounds like two halves of the same whole, whatever Marvel is saying. Winter Soldier and Civil War don't.

Are the likes of Cloak & Dagger and the New Warriors in the MCU?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

That doesn't really work here. IW sounds like two halves of the same whole, whatever Marvel is saying. Winter Soldier and Civil War don't.

Ok, and how does Captain Marvel fit inbetween?
Is Thanos gonna wink in the camera and taking a break from destroying all existence because he can?

 

[MugiwaraCole]

I don't know. I've been wondering for years.

Us not having all the relevant plot points yet doesn't change the fact this feels like a two-parter.

 

[jmood88]

Scott Buck: "audiences won't buy a guy with super powers who wears a mask."

Taika Waiti and Kevin Feige: "let's put deer antlers and a mask on Cate Blanchett."

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I don't know. I've been wondering for years.

Us not having all the relevant plot points yet doesn't change the fact this feels like a two-parter.

Unless the guys who make this movie actually say its not Infinity War Part I & II.
Sorry, I cant understand how this isnt obivious

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Unless the guys who make this movie actually say its not Infinity War Part I & II.
Sorry, I cant understand how this isnt obivious

Why does what they say really matter here, though?

It seems like both movies are about Thanos. And they drop a year apart. That sounds like a two-parter to me, even if they're trying to label it something else (which could be for any number of marketing reasons).

There's more to being a two-parter than the official title not saying "Part 2" lol

 

[jph139]

I think the lines between sequel and two-parter and franchise and all will blur. And already have. Like, Civil War is a direct thematic sequel to Age of Ultron while still being the next step after Winter Soldier. Iron Man 3 is more like an Avengers spinoff than a follow-up to Iron Man 2.

Are people picturing Infinity War ending with a big TO BE CONTINUED! before the credits? I think they'll both be full experiences with a beginning, middle, and end. Just a closer in plot and theme than most MCU films.

 

[richiek]

Nice cape for Valkyrie:

Also:

No M-16s on Skurge?

 

[curb]

I'm more in the camp that thinks Winter Soldier and Civil War when it comes to Avengers 3 and 4. I mean, they could start working more out of chronological order but I can't see Avengers 4 happening without Captain Marvel and Wasp who aren't getting their proper introduction until after Infinity War.

Scott Buck: "audiences won't buy a guy with super powers who wears a mask."

Taika Waiti and Kevin Feige: "let's put deer antlers and a mask on Cate Blanchett."

thorragnarokyes!.gif

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Wouldn't be the Executioner without his axe.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Nah. I'm not, anyways. I expect them to try to make them full stories in their own right.

I just expect it to still feel like a two-parter to most. It's not a bad thing, that's just what it sounds like.

 

[The Kree]

Scott Buck: "audiences won't buy a guy with super powers who wears a mask."

Taika Waiti and Kevin Feige: "let's put deer antlers and a mask on Cate Blanchett."

Basically.

Also, a better comparison to Infinity War would probably be Kill Bill.

 

[El Topo]

Ok, and how does Captain Marvel fit inbetween?

They've emphasized a lot that Captain Marvel would be the bridge between Earth and Cosmos. It's not unfathomable that she starts off somewhere other than Earth and only returns there for IW2.
That said, given that Fury is part of her movie, I assume that's unlikely? Unless Fury travels the universe to gather allies against Thanos? Nah, I have no idea.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I figure Carol's story will start on Earth and something will cause her to head to space. And when she returns, she'll be in the middle of IW/A4.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I don't know why but I would love that so, so much. Just the idea that 20-odd movies ago he was just 'You're going to part of a larger Universe' and now that's a completely literal comment.

Plus I kind of always like escalation in franchises - like how Nightmare on Elm Street's Dream Warriors bit or making Escape From Planet of the Apes an 'ape out of water' comedy - and this would be a good one.

 

[curb]

I figure Carol's story will start on Earth and something will cause her to head to space. And when she returns, she'll be in the middle of IW/A4.

I wonder if Fury will be like Tony in the KSD run of Captain Marvel. "We need an Avenger in space" or more like, "In light of the recent Thanos business, we need an Avenger in space".

 

[DrROBschiz]

So how does inhumans fit into the MCU, Timeline, Agents of Shield etc..

It seems quite isolated based on the trailer

 

[Tathanen]

So how does inhumans fit into the MCU, Timeline, Agents of Shield etc..

I bet it takes place between seasons 4 and 5 of Shield, and has something to do with why Coulson is in space.
