Definitely Not The X-Men: A Crash Course In Marvel's Inhumans

I can understand why Marvel/Disney is going with Inhumans, mostly because Fox still has a death grip on The X-Men (but I'm pretty sure Fantastic Four will slip through their fingers if their latest reboot tanks). But at least they're doing what they can with what they have at this time. Plus I am very intrigued as to how Marvel Studios will bring the realm of the Inhumans to the big screen. Also, you know people are going to fall in love with Lockjaw just as fans fell for baby dancing Groot. ^_^
In regards to your "supervised-visits" comment with Sony and the Spider-Man IP... Yeah, if this was an actual divorced couple, Marvel/Disney would be screaming for full custody of Lil' Spider-Man and having Sony sent to prison. Because what Sony has been doing with the franchise as of late is nothing short of child abuse.

Inhumanity is their latest major event, and ties in to Ms. Marvel (the thing where Kamala Khan gets her powers was actually part of Inhumanity).Mcoffey said:
The worse thing is that Spider-Man and the X-Men are by far my favorite Marvel properties. Their early movies and cartoons kicked ass and when I read the comics these days I'm always delighted to see Spider-man, Wolverine, or any of the X-Men.
Spider-Man should definitely become an Avenger soon. He is definitely the star in the Marvel Universe and he should be apart of the rock show that is the MCU. X-Men have a pretty large roster on their own so maybe they should start with having the old team back together first before they run into other heroes (Cyclops where are you).

I think Bob meant to put "about as not-super-interesting as Gorgon", as he's talking about Triton.
As for who's playing Black Bolt, latest news is that Vin Diesel is confirmed for the role. Not exactly the prettyboy you were thinking of, Bob.
I'm also willing to bet good money that one of the next couple Avengers movies has to do with someone releasing Terrigen Mist into the world, revealing the cross-bred and hidden Inhumans and prompting Attilan to come forward to protect them. It'll be tricky avoiding the use of the word "Mutant", but the MCU will have genetically altered super-beings one way or another.
Meanwhile, that site is reporting garbage (I'm a little annoyed by how crashy that site is and how poorly sourced everything is, not dissing you in any way for sharing the link.) A couple of months back, Vin Diesel posted a cryptic message on Facebook - praising his fans for helping to make Guardians a hit and for helping him to get the role of Groot, he added "I have the feeling Marvel thinks I'm... inhuman...". That's where the speculation - and it's only speculation at this point - that Vin will be in the Inhumans comes from.Thunderous Cacophony said:
While it's certainly possible Marvel would want to double dip with an actor like they've done with Paul Bettany, it's common knowledge by now that
Vision and J.A.R.V.I.S. are the same character, Vision being just J.A.R.V.I.S. uploaded into a sythezoid body.
Yeah, but I'd like to see a villainous mad genius on the level of Maximus in the MCU. Whiplash/Crimson Dynamo/Mickey Rourke from Iron Man 2 simply had a group of robots. But Maximus just LOVES making weapons, he's so giddy about it. And he's certifiably crazy. The MCU needs villains such as this. It occurs to me that Joaquin Phoenix would be well cast for this role, although the similarities to his role in Gladiator (as the antagonist of Maximus) may make the casting too obvious.Fappy said:
I always though Karnak's power would be awesome to have. It's tied into a strategic genius that extends to much more than knocking down a brick wall with your pinkie.
Unfortunately, I've never much cared for the Inhumans as a whole. It's hard for me to see the central figures in the royal family as anything less than pompous. Maybe is I spent more time reading about the little folk, I'd be more accepting of these characters as being above other really powerful characters. Sure, Black Bolt is INCREDIBLY powerful, but Medusa or Gorgon . . . not so much. What makes them so high and mighty compared to other supposedly super-powered humanoids?
Yeah, she and her dad. Although it would explain Reina's overall behavior. Then again, in the first season, I ignored whatever mystery was surrounding Skye because I thought the bigger plot thread was how Coulson came back.Ickabod said:
Well, know that we know the Inhumans rubbed elbows with The Fantastic Four and the Avengers, they must have done the same with the X-Men, seeing as they have a lot in common. And I mean more than just Black Bolt being a member of the Illuminati with Prof. X, then Beast.
And really, they should change that name by now, it sounds way to evil now. I keep expecting the real-life Illuminati to show up as antagonists in Assassin's Creed Unity.
I'm thinking that after Cap 3 and Civil War the existence of the Inhumans will become known somehow and the registration act will go after them in the Himalayas because of their refusal to sign up with registration or even associate with society. The movie will end with Attilan escaping to the Blue Area of the Moon.Thunderous Cacophony said:
This is really cool. I've only just gotten into knowing about Inhumans thanks to the new comic of the same name(and the Amazing Spider-Man reboot series having the first issue of Inhuman as well), so this is pretty neat seeing some of the stuff that I'm now getting into also going to be on the big screen. Now if I could just get that Nova movie...
