So is the whole world of the framework controlled by Hydra? Since it's an american show "the whole world" usually just translates to "America" so I dunno Did Hydra cap all the other countries too? Is Iceland controlled by Hydra?

Also, the Tri-Skelion has the leaders and all the rad gear they need to suppress resistance, so that's where the heaviest action will go down. It just so happens to be in America

lol but seriously I posted:I don't know where people are getting this impressionistic simulacrum stuff. It seems far more likely that they simulated the entire history of the world in exact detail modulo a half dozen ironic evil genie wish grantings using magic.  How can they replicate everyone ever in the world A computer simulation won't work that way They don't explain anything about how the Framework can do these things Why can't they just unplug.Yes exactly. It's a system made with the assistance of the MOST POWERFUL EVIL MAGIC BOOK IN EXISTENCE. After reading it, AIDA was able to manipulate magic golden threads to open a portal to the Dark Dimension. And use those same threads to make a brain. And use the book the complete the Framework. And make a printer that used those same glowy threads to print a loving working body. And she's now a god-damned WIZARD, not inhuman. She has the Darkhold in her head. Ghost Rider is gonna Penance Stare the poo poo out of her because she basically decanted herself as an evil wizard at best, an outright demon avatar of the Darkhold at worst. In summary:

Yeah, I was referring to the Inhumans originally showing up in the 60s, with later comic characters like Harley being a holdover from that 60s logic. And before, probably, but I don't have an example off the top of my head.

When I said the Wikipedia page I was talking the show which just says "Black Bolt" and doesn't use some other name. Its dumb and I assume it won't be transferred over to the show/MCU until it does. Comic books have some weird names, especially from an alien race with its own foreign culture.

When was Blackagar Boltagon first actually used as Black Bolt's name in a comic though? Pretty sure it was not in the 60s. This Marvel wiki suggests that his origin "born of two top Inhuman geneticists, exposed to terrigen as embryo, yadda, yadda" was in Secret Invasion: Inhumans #3 from 2008. So it's 21st century comic wank not 60s craziness.

Basically this, I've no memory of reading anything at all with that dumb name in it even though I was into the Inhumans and I more or less stopped reading Marvel stuff in the 90s (cos I'm ancient).

Blackagar Boltagon is older than that because I first heard of it from John Hodgman making fun of the name in his book, which came out in 2005.

I am thoroughly enjoying this discussion of amazingly stupid names. Also more people can spell Blackagar Boltagon right after hearing it one time than can spell Coulson right after reading it for years. Son of Coul, people! Remember! Also, I think Blackagar Boltagon is a great name just because of how obviously dumb it is. It's like if they realized they never gave a name to Iron Man and named him Ironius Manwell ten years later. Or named Batman Batcula Manzarello. I also have very little interest in the Inhumans show. If Entertainment Weekly always makes costumes look THAT bad, production companies should start sending them their own photos to use for promo pieces. Also Skye should have totally shoved Mack through the portal. If there's two things Mack hates, it's robots and being brainwashed. Letting him be brainwashed by a robot is just cruel. Besides, she promised Yo-Yo! Radcliffe and Aida are my favourite new characters. Since everyone seemed to call Mace dying by re-enacting his fake hero moment, and it was pretty obvious and happened anyway, I'm fully on board with Ghost Rider being the one to take down Aida even though we really haven't seen Robbie in a while. But I think Fitz and/or Radcliffe would be the most fitting. They created her, after all. And she has far more history with them. Robbie would be a cool monkey's paw kinda twist but Fitz/Radcliffe would be far more dramatically satisfying. I guess they can do both by having them defeat her by luring her to somewhere where Robbie is waiting for her. Also I think I like the idea of Aida just being a dark sorcerer instead of having given herself Inhuman powers. Though I imagine now they have the technology to give people a new Inhuman body and transplant their brain into it. They have all kinds of weird stuff lying around that they could delve into for the next season, assuming there is one. Though I imagine the sentiment amongst everyone will be "launch all darkhold tech into the sun and never make it again." I do like the idea that the Darkhold itself has a goal it is working towards, it would be cool to see that explored a bit by the end of the season.

Radcliffe is a loving fantastic character. I liked him back in season 3, but that early part of season 4 where he was part of 'the team' was loving great and I miss it. I hope like hell that he gets a new body and SHIELD gives him a third chance at being the friendly Mad Scientist character for season 5 like he was early in S4.
