Apoplexy posted:People have seen the pilot. The reviews are universally negative. "Scott Buck's worst work yet" is being said. It's only two people at SpoilerTV so far who've commented on the screener, as far as I can tell. Not that I expect the majority of reviews to be much kinder.

The hair is the best thing about that scene in much the same way that pacing was the best thing about Iron Fist.

https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/08/04/marvels-agents-of-shield-adds-jeff-ward-as-recurring-role/ They cast an actor whose real name is Jeff Ward for a key recurring role in AOS season 5. I expect he's really just a plant for the CW's DC branch.

No AoS season is complete without a Ward appearance. You just never know what kind of Ward it will be.

Strom Cuzewon posted:The bit when the hair grabs Ramsay is passable at least, but why the heck is it randomly twitching during the conversation? It looks like a dying hamster. I read it as kind of a spasm or flex where like her hair is basically another set of muscles and she started posturing when Maximus got close. Its kind of an interesting play on the idea of her powers. I'm not near as down on this as most, as usual. That was a boring clip but it whatever. Its some random 30 seconds and it did sort of put my mind at ease about Medusa's hair being passable.

Same, some people going back wanted to hate it preemptively before there was anything released about it, so anything is confirmation bias now. I never saw her hair as looking or behaving realistically in the first place. You can do that in a comic, but on a screen it should look a little off-putting and surreal.

Yeah, my big concern going in was how you make Medusa and Lockjaw look passable since both seem really hard to do. Like Guardians managed to make a raccoon and a tree work but that was a big budget and talented people. A hiatus tv show that seemed kind of half assed had me really worried. But Lockjaw worked for me in the trailer and that hair movement is definitely "passable." Otherwise I expect Crystal's powers to look like Ghost Rider's and Black Bolt's to look like Daisy's. I'm going in with very balanced expectations and just hoping it looks ok for TV and is a fun ride. Anything more than that will be a pleasant surprise.

The bad CGI doesn't distract me (it's TV, also a pilot) so much as just the staging of it seems awkward and weird.

Just in case anyone has forgotten: Barry Convex posted:The Inhumans are not going to be introduced to the MCU on this show so long as Marvel is even considering a film. Deal with it. Barry Convex posted:Believe what you want, Inhumans on this show are not happening until/unless they're introduced in the films (which Feige did hint could happen earlier than 2018, to be fair). You will probably start to see some TV->film integration, as opposed to just the reverse, beginning with AOU, but that's unlikely to ever be anything more than relatively small cameos or Easter eggs. Barry Convex posted:The notion that Marvel Studios proper would let a mere TV series, one with which by all indications they have minimal hands-on creative involvement, be the first to take the Inhumans toys out of the box. He went on like this for several months. So drat smug and condescending. So drat wrong.

Well he's partly right. Marvel Studios have no interest in Inhumans at all, that's why they made their first appearance in AoS.

In fairness I think there's a reasonable distinction between Quake and Lash and the Inhuman Royals. But obviously the point is all the weirdness in the Royals film/delay/tv stuff. Which seems so odd since MCU hasn't seemed to have those kinds of problems or changes with much else. The only things I can think of are changing actors with the Hulk and Rhodey, Portman and Paltrow leaving because they were being underused, and the uncertainty about what the fourth Avengers film is called.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Just in case anyone has forgotten: Lol, you're digging that up? I admit I made an rear end of myself, but I assumed that (a) the show would never, ever be relevant to the film MCU, and that (b) introducing the Inhumans meant that the show would have to become relevant to the film MCU. One of those assumptions was clearly correct, at least! The other, not so much. Barry Convex fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Aug 7, 2017 |

So which is gonna be worse, Iron Fist or Inhumans? Man, I hope it's Inhumans so people will shut their face holes about Iron Fist, which is okay but not great.

I hope Inhumans is better so you'll have to continue saltily defending Iron Fist every single time it gets brought up in every single thread, and even sometimes when it doesn't. (But, to be realistic, Inhumans will prob be worse)

I hope there is some big early season crossover event that sends Danny through a dimensional portal to the Inhumans to be that smarmy dick younger brother and what's his face Ramsay Bolton through to be Iron Fist.

I just feel bad that people will use this to smugly say how bad the Inhumans are and that they are nothing but knockoff X-men that Marvel tried to use to kill the X-men comics despite all facts showing otherwise.

Lol this is the first time I ever did. I just think it's funny. Someone has to pick the Iron Fist hill to die on and I guess it might as well be you.achillesforever6 posted:I just feel bad that people will use this to smugly say how bad the Inhumans are and that they are nothing but knockoff X-men that Marvel tried to use to kill the X-men comics despite all facts showing otherwise. Right off the bat...what's the conflict? What are they fighting for or against? "An evil prince that usurps the throne from its rightful king"...that sounds like the plotline to Thor. Also sound like what the plot of Aquaman will be. In fact, it also seems like Black Panther is gonna take a couple cues from that. Who's the protagonist, the viewpoint character through which we learn and experience this storyline? Is it Black Bolt, the guy who can't speak but is also too thick to learn sign language? Is it Medusa? Is it Crystal? Like, I think it's clear that these showrunners are just doing a bad execution of this material, but I'd also argue that the source material doesn't make it easy for them at all. And I mean...if the Inhumans were some sort of rich goldmine of creative potential, don't you think Feige and his crew would be chomping at the bits to adapt this property instead of backburnering it for years and years before finally being like "Ehh yeah who cares, just shuffle this one off to the TV ghetto"?

I hope this means AoS has better chances at renewal, and that the Inhuman royals can get a good story on AoS in season 6.
