Marvel's Inhumans |OT| Fridays on ABC | Losing Faith Inhumanity

Even Inhuman royalty has problems undoing a bra clasp with one hand.

What did we see at the end there? Who was that? It was too dark on my screen.

Weed dude killed his weed buddy.

That was the first time Karnak encountered a bra apparently so of course he had trouble. He’s like a 14-year-old boy.

Inhumans is right on the border of "boring bad" and "entertainingly bad." Like, the Karnak nonsense is legitimately engaging for me in it's esoteric, non-super absurdity.

I'd definitely trade Iron Fist S2 for more.

I'm rooting for Inhumans S2! This is fun schlock lol.
 
Shit missed my hate watch..wait what? Was is bad you guys?

Too many things are conveniently linked in some unforeseeable way just to keep the plot moving quickly, yet for how quickly things are moving (or literally just happening for no reason, like Karnak and the girl), it's actually boring somehow. I was honestly waiting for it to be over so I could start on Voltron season 4.

And I thought the only way to go was up. Sounds worse and worse.

I couldn't stop laughing at Karnak making out on the beach while Dollar General brand Nathan Drake watched behind a rock.

Medusa is rocking the short hair look, not gonna lie. Her adventure with Louise is bad, but kinda funny

Black Bolt's stuff all bores me.
Crystal's stuff all bores me.
Maximus' stuff all bores me.

All the flashbacks are terrible. All of them

Just watched episode 1 and 2 but why is the scientist boss skeptical about her shit, this is the same earth that almost got destroyed by aliens from a wormhole and stark skynet, a thunder gods used to hang around new York and inhumans exists

And her saying they maybe someone on the moon that may have sent something to earth is suddenly grounds for fire when she provided data

What?

Longest double post ever?


But, yeah, this show is bad. Like, worst of the CW shit bad without any of the potential redeeming qualities those might have had.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Got around to watching the first two episodes. They were not kidding, this is awful. I can't see this getting a Season 2.
Boring boring boring boring boring!
Why is Black Bolt so stupid? I know he's unable to talk and everything but he's from an advanced Moon race and acts like everything on Earth is so... "alien". They can see what's happening on Earth!
Maximus' acting is just... no.
This is some early-2000's SciFi Channel level of bad.

Is this still trash? Was going to wait until the whole season was out before deciding if it was worth the time.

It has achieved trainwreck status, the only reason to watch is morbid curiosity to see just how bad it can get.

The part I don't understand is how you start making something like this and don't look at your dailies or whatever and realize how bad it is.
 
That scene oh my gosh.

Black Bolt casually opens the gas valve.

His buddy books it during the total lack of chaos.

Louise and Medusa drive up, she opens the door to hit Mordis.

Big explosion.

Reunion scene.

They toss Locus into the trunk and drive away, forgetting about Black Bolt's buddy.
 
I appreciate that they at least kind of tried to give Karnak this look in the last episode:

180


At least somebody seems to care.

Anyone have a ratings update?

Basura? Trash? Dustbin?

Trash, but everything is trash. Curious to see how Agents of SHIELD will do in the same slot. Can't imagine it'll be much better...

At this point I'm convinced Scott Buck just wants to make a show that looks like it fits into the 90s era adventure genre space.
 
Going to stick around through the last episode, but my god, this is an absolute train wreck. Somehow it actually got a lot worse after the premiere.

We have a show about the Inhumans that’s devoted almost entirely to shitty romance subplots with complete nobodies. Medusa still doesn’t have her hair, lockjaw is virtually out of the picture, and Karnak seemingly gave up his entire quest to grow weed and have tent sex. The action sequences take place in motels, and apparently there’s only one room in all of Atillan.

The Maximus stuff is still serviceable, but only because the actor is talented enough to transcend the bullshit he’s given.
 
Episode 4 is my "favorite" so far! lmao... The Louise and Medusa scenes were hysterical. Crystal's facial expressions after touching a human. Black Bolt's face this entire episode. Karnak getting his freak on while weed dude angrily masturbates. I just can't.

Side note... I forgot that Sean Callery does the score for this show. He is completely sleepwalking through it. Damn...

Watched 2 episodes of The Gifted last night. We are 5 minutes into the first episode of Inhumans, and it looks terrible. Fox wins the battle of licenses,or at least production.

The difference is Fox made several attempts to develop an X-Men property before settling on this, and the showrunner is actually a big fan of the franchise who is passionate about the project. This one got some sweetheart deal after being pushed by the Marvel CEO and got handed off to a dude who doesn’t care about the property and doesn’t understand it. The difference in results is evident.

Well, also, the Gifted crew didn't have to put together eight episodes from scratch in less than ten months,

There is something truly hilarious about an inhuman who's sole power is to instantly know anything weak spot and immediately defeat it with no problems being unable to work a bra clasp.

Karnak found some nice drug dealers in the forest of Hawaii and made friends with 2 of them. The woman in the group took him swimming and one thing led to another.

Yeah, pretty amazing after his hilariously terrible shutdown of that random girl in the pilot. This makes about as much sense as that. He's literally only getting some because it serves the plot.

Not true - The Gifted follows the typical TV series development cycle and was ordered by Fox only in May 2017 - so they had way less time to put the bulk majority of this together.
