I grew up when X-men was the biggest thing ever in the 80s and 90s, and I barely knew who the Inhumans were until I think, the early 2000s because they were basically absent from the comics I read at that point.

Man if they could get X-Men back at Marvel it would be bittersweet because we'd never get Huge Ackman Wolverine in an Avengers movie. He sells the jaded loner irritability of that character so well.

At this stage Hugh Jackman should just show up in the Avengers. Like just playing the actor Hugh Jackman. Who has a healing factor and metal claws. And served in World War 2 alongside Cap. But is totally Hugh Jackman and not Wolverine....Bub.

If mutants became part of the MCU, I really wonder how they could incorporate them without it making zero loving sense. This genetic evolution, traced all the way back to ancient Egypt, that has been dividing the world and creating conflict... but only just now gets acknowledged.

And Tony sneaks Bruce Banner into a big Hollywood party by having him pretend to be beloved actor Mark Ruffalo. Stan Lee cameos as the sarcastic doorman, who lets them in immediately but then refuses entry to the real Mark Ruffalo, who arrived with special guest Stan Lee.

That slow burn from idealism to fanaticism has been immensely satisfying and incredibly well-executed by multiple writers and I am prepared to die on this hill.

Inhumans are better than mutants because one of the inhumans is a dog while all mutants get is a blue cat Frasier and everyone knows dogs are better than cats.

After Secret Wars it was first treated as a mystery where he was, then they said he died. He went after the Inhumans after the X-Men find out that the terrigen mists kill mutants. There's a miniseries going on right now called Death of X that shows it. It ends next week.

Jamesman posted:If mutants became part of the MCU, I really wonder how they could incorporate them without it making zero loving sense. Just tie a mutant explosion into something to do with the MCU and fiddle the timeline a little, no problemo. You might not be able to wedge in the classic team that Xavier has been training for years but what if Infinity War ends in some big infinity-stone explosion and mutants start showing up across the world the next day? You don't get to have Magneto blowing up a concentration camp as backstory but I honestly don't think that's necessary. Erik and Xavier could just be running a regular gifted kids school if you want to include that dynamic at all, and you get to play around with a mutant crisis as the M-day wave creates a whole new class of dangerous people overnight that the world doesn't know anything about. Maybe there WERE a couple mutants but they've kept private and hidden themselves and there have never been more than a handful at a time then all of a sudden A Thing happens and we have them coming out of the floorboards. Like, it'd be a drastic change from the comic history and I'm sure fans will be just outraged but there are ways to make it work.

In that case they might as well just say Wolverine etc. all are inhumans and the terminology just switched over to mutant because "inhuman" is kind of offensive.

The big problem was the inhumans were kind of interesting before and then they had all that filed off to become knockoff mutants.

The inhumans don't exist in the MCU either, because TV doesn't count.

Eh it is true, the movies are not going to let the TV shows dictate how they do things. If they introduce them it will be on their own terms, whatever that might be.

They actually came really close or technically did have the TV side led the MCU with Age of Ultron. They had a major plotline all season long on Agents of Shield that was resolved a week before Ultron came out in theaters that described how Nick Fury got another Helicarrier. It is never directly explained in Ultron and requires you to have seen AoS to know. They've never done anything similar after that, though.

It also doesn't matter in the slightest where Nick Fury got the old helicarrier back from, because he's Nick Fury.

I just assume Nick Fury's supply of helicarriers is as plentiful as his supply of black trench coats.

It's not a great AoS storyline either. Coulson is keeping some big secret from everyone (that causes some suspicion) and tells people that if he is gone to activate Theta Protocol, except that that turns out to be a helicarrier that would have been useful and not controversial to have.

It was controversial because SHIELD was designated a terrorist organization and the Federal Government ordered all the Helicarriers dismantled after they gunned down hundreds of people and then crashed into Washington, D.C.

I could be wrong, but wasn't this during the time when Edward James Olmos led SHIELD was muscling in on them and Coulson didn't want anyone to tell him. That's why he left the project out of the files they had access to. So only Coulson and Patton Oswalt knew.

E: Which isn't really  , given one of the hints they give is that it needs a hell of a lot of bunk beds.
