Why are comic book Rights such a massive clusterfuck?

In like the 90's, Marvel had some pretty bad financial problems and optioned off large swaths of their popular IPs for movies.

Remember how, back in the day, nothing was connected. Everything had to stand on its own? Like Steel? Yeah. Dark days.

And some people have the balls or ladyballs to wish for the bad old days.

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.

The fourth Avengers movie title is apparently a spoiler for the third. They know what it is.

And this Inhumans show does not look at all like something that will be a decent replacement. I hope I am wrong.

The Orville isn’t bad. They gave the super strong girl eyebrows after the pilot so she could be more “relatable” to teenage hu-mon boys.

Mrs. Rainbowbeard said that the robot man has Brent Spiner’s inflections and the muscle alien has Michael Dorn’s.

It’s not a terrible show at all. It’s pretty much an off-brand Star Trek with a little extra humor that you don’t have to buy a subscription to CBA All Access to watch in America.

I've been saying since the start, AoS will be on the air for as long as Disney wants it. Maybe they wanted to replace it with Inhumans, but I have a hard time believing the show will do even near AoS's ratings.

But... is SHIELD gone?

Yes. Agents of SHIELD is one of those "loss leader" things, Disney knows a TV Marvel presence is good for their bottom line, and overrode ABC.

With Squirrel Girl, Runaways, and Cloak and Dagger coming, AoS might not be as important time around, depending on how everything shakes out.

A Johnny Blaze who is free of the curse but still dragged into shenanigans is my favorite Johnny Blaze. I started reading when Danny Ketch was the Rider.

Whoever is currently "the guy" when you read a character's book for the first time is "the real one" in your headcannon. I dunno who this Hal Jordan is* and why he keeps stealing Kyle Rainer's thunder, or who this Barry Allen guy is* that keeps stealing Wally West's schtick, etc.

Characters like Robbie, Jane Foster being Thor, X-23 taking over for Wolverine, etc. stand on their own as being different enough to me so that I don't really mind... or I may just be a Marvel lifer with a passing interest in DC.

If they were forced to split off the Marvel and Star Wars stuff and leave it at Netflix while they did their thing with their streaming service wth the traditionally "Disney" stuff that would be okay with me. I mean, if they're doing stuff like Deadpool and Old Man Logan, maybe they need a little separation from the core Disney Brand.

That would be a pleasant surprise.

And, y'know. The comic source material. Just look at the Shi'ar and the Imperial Guard... Shi'ar look human with (sometimes) feather like hair. They're supposed to have evolved from birds. All the Imperial guardsmen look like humans with one or two cosmetic differences.

The Kree are either blue or pink.

Sure, there are things like the Dire Wraiths, and the Brood, and the Phalanx, and the whatsit from the first episode and the whatever the hell Beta Ray Bill is, but if you have a large portion of your common alien races be "humans with cosmetic difference" then it's not that surprising.
