I think that's a false dichotomy. The royals could create a more egalitarian society, refrain from engaging in conspicuous consumption (how can their palace be loving huge and be mostly empty in a society that has space issues!?), stop openly flouting Attilan's own rules, open trade negotiations with human and earth-based Inhuman colonies, and take a more active involvement in their world's problems. Instead Crystal spends her days hanging out with her dog and listening to her ipod, while people dig with handtools. It's hard to imagine that she and her sister were previous anti-monarchists. I mean, surely, given his skillset, Gorgon would be suited to mining work rather than hanging out in the Palace and openly talking about loving the serving caste? It's hard to like the main characters when they're basically slavers.

Mordis is basically leatherface Xorn and I'll definitely root for Xorn above all these jerks. In my head canon his only problems are people not understanding him because he has a sun for a brain and secretly being Magneto. eke out fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Oct 9, 2017 |

I take back what I said about the show being mediocre. Mortis/Mordus/MoreDust took it into comically bad territory. That and all of the main characters being idiots and the terrible script. Oh and the pro-Social Darwinism slant. Not to mention everything looking cheap. At this point, the only things I like are Black Bolt and all of the villainous humans (overzealous cops and murderous pot farmers) being haoles.

That sounds awesome, everyone loves the X-MEN" "Yes, but the twist here is that our protagonists keep their genetic inferiors as mining slaves in order to support their lavish lifestyle. Anyone whose kids don't get cool superpowers during their genetic coming of age ceremony becomes a slave." "Okay.... So what's our villains deal?" "He's gonna gently caress over the rest of the royals and free all the slaves" .......

Black Bolt when he saw that prisoner reveal his heat hands power: "That guy would be pretty useful in the mines."

I'm not even sure how this mining assignment is supposed to work. You seem to get put in there if you have no powers. So you're just toiling away with your completely unpowered baseline human muscles. You also seem to get put in there if you have powers that might be good for mining, maybe. So the guy who can shovel dirt with his rock hands is right next to the guy with...no powers whatsoever. You'd think that someone like Gorgon or Medusa could do a really good job in the mines but hey, nepotism. Speaking of which, Triton is just still dead this week I guess. How long has he been floating in the ocean?

Triton survived, healed up, and is hanging out with a different group of ex-special-forces surfers on the other side of the island. It turns out he's a really good swimmer.

Listen it's all very complicated and our primitive minds are just too weak and human to understand why it's a good thing to make mine slaves out of people who are less than you. Now give me some money machine, I am the very smart and gifted queen of the moon.

Or that backup teleportation guy who is living inside rock and can manipulate rock freely, or that guy who has a giant laser for a face, or the chick who can control elements, or the guy who can immediately see the fault in anything (and thus crack away a ton of rock by tapping on the wall in just the right place) or or or .... They've basically got the plebs down in the mines performing months of backbreaking work to do what one of the higher ups could achieve in a lazy afternoon.

Eldrac doesn't live inside that rock, that rock is him. His Inhuman power is he turned into a door. He can't move from where he's placed, really.

The latest episode just really cemented how bad of a show this is. Somehow Maximus (the villain!) has the high moral ground and makes speeches that make perfect sense. All the heroes are dumb jerks fetishizing this exploitative monarchy system. They read/write English, so why doesn't Black Bolt ask for a pen? Nah, instead he put a cop in the hospital who was after him because he shoplifted. What a noble guy. Also, the new flashback showed that he killed his parents knowing his voice was a weapon, not entirely by accident like the pilot implied.

Heathen posted:Yes, her name is Medusalith Amaquelin while her husband is Blackagar Boltagon. That just... urrrgh. I also don't know why everyone seemed to like Mordis, unless that's just holdover feelings from the comics that I haven't read. They introduced him as this super scary guy, powerful, kept under lock and key, forbidding face mask, voice modulator... and then he turns out to be this regular ol' sarcastic douche. I expected him to be a lot more, I dunno, reserved and arrogant, I guess. More Darth Vadery. Hearing him wisecrack "keeping people safe... not really my best quality" just seemed so dissonant from the way he was introduced that it's hard to take him seriously.

JazzFlight posted:Who are the fucknuggets who wrote this poo poo and who thought this could really be the equivalent of X-Men for the MCU? They had it setup nicely with how Inhumans on earth were being treated on AOS. Then for some reason they decided TV's poster child for mediocrity being rewarded should be the one to get the project, and he was apparently afraid of fan wrath to change too much backstory. I can't really decide if it's better or worse that this incarnation have made moon slaves out of their own children who are unlucky enough to not get powers vs actually creating a whole sub race of slaves like they did in the comics.

I'd rather watch Inhumans than The Gifted any day, at least. A total trainwreck will always be more interesting to me than a competently executed mediocrity.

Scott Buck isn't the one who came up with their names or pitched the idea. He's just the guy who continues to get work no one else is interested in.

No that's who came up with this names. Ike Perlmutter was the one who forced that particular mandate on the comics and show.

Look, Jack Kirby was a great writer who made up loads of characters. I for one am completely fine with the fact that with a couple of them you can tell EXACTLY where he ran out of  .Also, just stating it right now: Crusher Creel will always be Wishbone's best Buddy Convict, even if the dude he has now seems pretty cool.

Kirby had nothing to do with the names. John Byrne was credited as the writer for that one but he blames Mark Gruenwald
