Boris Galerkin posted:What's a "inhuman" Inhumans are human/Kree hybrids who gain a random mutation when exposed to a substance called Terrigen. They are basically mutants who gain their powers when they are exposed to Terrigen instead of when they hit puberty. The guy Coulson found in a tube last season was almost certainly a Kree, and one of/the bad guy/s from Guardians Of The Galaxy is a Kree... Kree are mostly just blue dudes who otherwise look human. The Inhumans were originally in the Fantastic Four comic book, as "wacky potential in-laws" for the Human Torch, IIRC. They have/had a secret society, until their leader, Black Bolt (whose power was/is the full fury of a Tenacious D song) created an aerosol bomb with the world's remaining Terrigen which, while totally harmless to humans, is activating Inhumans left and right, currently.

Barry Convex posted:Well, that leads to my other question: why do fans of SHIELD, the Inhumans, or the MCU in general think this would be a good idea, exactly? If Inhumans are introduced as a concept independently of Attilan or the classic Royal Family characters, wouldn't that only serve to dilute the significance of the latter when they're introduced? And on the SHIELD end of things, wouldn't it make for absolutely terrible storytelling to introduce a mysterious race of beings whose origins and motivations can't really be explained at all for at least another three years (since there's no room in Marvel's release slate for an Inhumans film until 2017)? The whole Skye 084 thing has already been dragged out enough since the reveal halfway through S1, frankly.* I know the Queen of England exists but I will probably never meet her. But I have met several people from the UK. Do you see what I'm getting at here? Pwnstar posted:Ok so I have a comic nerd question. Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider/Bruce Banner was bombarded with gamma rays and their DNA was altered. I assume this makes them mutants but I guess X-Men are capital letter Mutants because they were born that way, just like Lady Gaga? Is there an actual difference or is it just about who can stay in which clubhouse? If you have the X-gene, you're a mutant. If you get your powers some other way, you're a mutate. Huge difference, bro, huge difference.  Inhumans are like mutants in that the Inhuman gene is hereditary like the X-gene, but Terrigen is pretty rare so outside of a huge aerosol bomb being exploded in the atmosphere most people not aware of that part of their ancestry will never know. Anyway, this show will be cancelled when Disney decides it doesn't like money anymore. CAPT. Rainbowbeard fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Oct 12, 2014 |

SiKboy posted:Doesnt the kinect 2.0 consistantly try to sign peoples lamps and pets into the Xbox because its shonky as gently caress? I'm not doubting they SAID it could count the people in the room and estimate demographics, but personally I think the reasons they've never tried to impliment it as a factor in billing for movies is 1) fear of backlash, 2) people would just unplug the camera or use a different movie provider if the number of people in the room would make their movie more expensive and 3) it doesnt work very well with groups, missing people and seeing phantom people. No, it's never tried to sign any of my lamps or pets in, but one time, my uncle (who works at Nintendo) told me some things about Microsoft you should all take as God's honest truth about the Xbone. Never try it out, he said, and get all your Microsoft info directly from Sony/PC Gamers (master race). Although, my cat likes to position himself between me and the Kinect sensor in such a way that the Kinect thinks that I am trying to use gesture controls as he wiggles his tail. My cat happens to be a rear end in a top hat and shouldn't be on the coffee table anyway. Seriously though, the first two possible reasons you listed there probably have something to do with it. The third, not so much.

The Red Room training program is obviously connected to Widow's training, but it's obviously precursors we're dealing with, not a younger Natasha. Things aren't exactly the same as in the comics. It's okay. Some things with the MCU have tells you can see from miles away, and this is not one of them. The Red Room is (one of many?) Russia's super soldier program, or super spy program, or whatever. I'm pretty sure of this, and I'm usually right about these things, as past posts in this thread will verify.

Don't forget, Sony is still in charge of Spider-Man movies, so it's more likely that what we get, if anything, for at least the near future is references to the Bugle and stuff like that. Once "New Spidey" (Spider-Man the 3rd) is introduced (which is too bad, I liked Andrew Garfield as Spidey, his characterization was pretty spot-on) we may see, depending on how much money various parts want, anything from Peter Parker as a guest star, to Spider-Man handling poo poo as a Deus Ex Machina device... something like a webbed villain with a little note from the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Look, Peter Parker wears/wore glasses, right? So does Clark Kent. It's a flawless disguise. My gut tells me there won't be any heavy focus on Spidey in SHIELD. I could be wrong.

ToastyPotato posted:They have already stated that Spidey's first MCU appearance in going to be in a movie, not a TV series. Yes, you're right. Spidey will probably not feature heavily if at all, ever, on SHIELD unless they find out some way to make lots of money off of it. So, something in passing if at all. Emerson Cod posted:Regarding Black Bolt on TV - the cost isn't necessarily an issue. Actors are paid much less for non-speaking roles and Vin Diesel, heavily rumored to be playing him, got paid a ton to say "Groot" in Guardians of the Galaxy. Rumor has it the Groot role was part of an overall deal for him to play two characters. Considering how long ago the deal was struck and how far off The Inhumans movie now is, I'd be more surprised if we didn't see him on Agents of Shield. I came to post something like this. Black Bolt's whole deal being not talking because he will destroy whatever the plot demands his whispers destroy or whatever means the actor playing Black Bolt won't be in the same league as an A or B list actor, at least in the price range. The problem with Black Bolt is that for his character to work you need Medusa or another member of the Royal Family to be the Threepio to his Artoo. There's where the money problem is, those Royal Family douches all roll as a posse and that whole situation is better handled in a movie, with references to them at best on the show. There's no reason Agent Poots needs to meet the king of her subrace, no matter how much of a Mary Sue she is.
