gently caress you Inhumans. "Midday" comes once a month on the moon. Who setup the "if I die the city explodes" deal for Maximus? I can't imagine rando inhuman engineer is happy to setup a failsafe that would result on their own death along with the deaths of their entire family. This show is astoundingly lazy and I really hope the city does explode.

I just started watching Inhumans and is it just me or did they cut off Medusa's hair and seemed to make it a big deal like it won't grow back just so they wouldn't have to do the special effects? (Sorry I know it's been out a while and don't want to read anything further from the 12 pages since it's out of spoiler territory.).

Yes, but I also think it was supposed to land as a 'Holy poo poo' moment, like if Captain America's shield breaks or when Wolverine had the Adamantium stripped from his skeleton. It's supposed to make Maximus look like a vicious badass. Obviously that's not going to be the reaction half an hour after meeting the character, but Scott Buck has never been very good at pacing.

And making sure his shows come in on or under budget, regardless of what he needs to sacrifice in terms of pre-prod, prod, or post-prod work. Sorry, I just really don't like his track record from a viewer standpoint.

My bad, I was trying to make a funny and came across as defending Scott Buck. However good or bad Inhumans is, I like it in spite of the Buck not because of him. I'm actually cautiously optimistic about Iron Fist Season 2 now that he's not attached to it.

Takezio posted:My favorite part of the episode was Triton's grand entrance. Yes. "Guys! Triton is back! That guy who was in one scene in the pilot, where he got shot! Turns out he didn't!" I'm kind of wondering if "Scott Buck" is actually just a text-analysis AI built off of IBM Watson. Like, someone fed it scripts of superhero narratives, and it spit out an assemblage of scenes that vaguely seem like they'd work dramatically because they're the averaged cross-section of every story ever told. Inhumans is a sausage served with chocolate sauce. Analysis of 13,415 recipes suggest this permutation should work.

Watson would have made a much better script, but took a hard pass on the project.

I like how the actor for Triton, Mike Moh, is clearly a great martial artist/stuntman who can deliver some good-looking choreography, so of course the show decided to bench him for seven episodes and hand all the action scenes to actors who have none of his expertise and end up looking lovely when they try. It's truly amazing that, in every single instance where the showrunners were given the opportunity to either improve the show or make it shittier, they have always -- always, without fail -- opted for the decision that makes the show worse and not better.

It came completely out of nowhere when the fish guy was suddenly a super strong martial arts assassin, because the writers only made the association of 'that fish guy who turns out not to be dead' and nothing else.

Oh the editing definitely still sucks; I was watching a review just now that mentioned there were something like thirty to forty cuts within that Triton scene, several of them happening within the exact same blow. But I'm just sayin'...they filmed scenes after scenes, episode after episode, of actors like Ken Leong and Eme Ikwuakor who can't really fight that well, despite the fact that they'd actually hired an guy who can objectively, no-bullshit fight, and then ended up putting that guy in the ocean until episode seven of an eight-episode season. It's like a deliberate choice to sabotage the quality of the series. BrianWilly fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Nov 7, 2017 |

You cannot convince me that this show isn't art. BB: *signing furiously* (Okay cousin* of mine, here's the plan. You go down to Earth and pretend to be murdered by my brother's secret Earth army. Then, when he inevitably makes his move and brutally attacks our family, I want you to do nothing until we meet at a time I have prearranged for quite some time after my unlikely escape). *later* Yo, how do we convince him we're serious? I know, let's kill the person who regenerates upon death. _______ *"Cousin" being the Atlantian word for non-white royalty.

Scott Buck doesn’t specialize in hilarious disappointments. I’m expecting my reaction tonight to be more of the ‘meh’ variety. It’s probably going to end on some massive cliffhanger to set up the totes gonna happen Season 2

I'm honestly not a fan of AoS and I thought that was quite rad. Pretty neat. Easily best part of them show tonight. The episode...heheheahahahaha That was a thing. So, are the new transplants to Hawaii going to just dominate the island or something? There's more than 100(?) of them, few of them respect humans, and none of them use USA money, so what in the world are they going to do.

ah well, that's that, I guess. I do not regret watching this series. I kind of feel bad for IMAX, though, this was their first foray into producing original content and you can't hardly blame them for thinking an MCU IP was a sure bet. RIP in peace, Eldrac.

I do like how they didn't put them "in costume" until the last 3 minutes of the series. Like, seriously, Black Bolt's costume actually looked pretty cool. Except it was also dark. I hate showrunners who think they have to avoid costumes. Everything has shown that embracing the costumes is fine and people like that.
