I guarantee someone looked at the poster with the horns and demanded more sultry sexy lady look.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.

I'm more worried about Thor dual-wielding instead of using Mjolnir.

Between the music and the colors and the jokes they're really obviously trying to ape the success of Guardians of the Galaxy since the last Thor didn't really take off in the same way that the new Captain Americas, which I'm fine with so long as it means they're willing to be weird and have fun with it. More disco wouldn't hurt, either.

People keep saying this, but Thor was always bright and colorful.

The jokes might be them leaning into Guardians, but also might well be that they've kinda realised lately that Hemsworth's actually really good at comedy.

The Marvel films were always broadly defined action comedies, the goal posts just keep getting shifted in the imaginary of the fandom. It helps if you're obsessed with 'tone,' which basically just boils down to preoccupation with superficial content. Like, if a movie is perceived as 'brighter and more colorful' but without any significant reform in aesthetics, purely based on the relative presence or absence of 'dark subject matter,' then of course Peyton Reed and Adam McKay's star-vehicle for Paul Rudd is gonna come off as a night-and-day switch from Iron Man.

I'm still lolling at them hyping up the IMAX showing so much, but the version of the first episode that'll be on TV is actually longer so you'll have to watch it again.

Lockjaw! With... out... the little fork on his head. Cause even the dog has to be 'cool.' Shoulda maybe given him a little black leather jacket.

I wonder how badly Inhumans is going to flop. Maybe it'll secretly be really good, but I haven't found anyone who gives a poo poo about it yet.

Talk about targeting a series exclusively to people who already know the story because otherwise :wtc:.

Character posters still tend to have something interesting in them, especially superhero ones - costume design, background whatever. That's just a regular dog. Maybe if there was a human standing next to it for scale or a street light chewed up like a toy on the ground or anything really. As it is it could be a poster for Tequila and Bonetti: The Movie.

That said, yeah, it's pretty bad, specially with the "family dog" tag. It's begging for something special that shows that he's not just the family dog.

Alan Sepinwall noted that the pilot episode that critics were shown was confusing, and had to poll a few different critics on certain plot-points since it wasn't all that clear. Then Marvel got lovely about it when they brought it up.

Also, the director of the first two episodes literally admitted he got the job because they wanted to rush it and they knew that he could shoot fast. It'll be a mess and it's going to flop hard because Jeph Loeb wants to be Kevin Feige.

I find the one for Gorgon particularly offensive. His horse leg is obviously a fur sock with a hoof stapled on the end. Couldn't they at least 'shop it at little so you can't trace the obvious outline of his lower calf and foot there?

All those character in the Inhumans posters are at most mildly amused by whatever boring thing they're taking part in. At worst they're apathetic or actually malcontent. The dog is the only one that seems happy to be there.
