Da Cap'n 2099 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Ok, so this wasn't that bad. Not perfect, but not the piece of trash the internet had dubbed it to be. Would I have bought an IMAX ticket for it? No, but on par, at least, with Agent Carter and most of Agents of SHIELD. I'll say this: it was more engaging and fun than Iron Fist and I liked Iron Fist. EDIT: This is a review of the 2 episode premiere. Edited September 30, 2017 by Da Cap'n 2099 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 that's promising to hear...I was just reading that this one season is all we get, so I'm jumping on soon. the current Black Bolt series has been great, so kinda in the mood for this (and I gotta see Lockjaw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Lockjaw is gonna steal this show. I want a plushy now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 So, after seeing the Sinead O'Connor version of Medusa and reading some of the horrible reviews from the theatrical release, I dialed down my expectations A LOT since this project was initially announced and casting began. That still did not prepare me for the cluster fuck which is The Inhumans pilot episode. The worst thing Marvel TV has done since Iron Fist and it's no coincidence the same creator/show runner is behind both series. Fucking Scott Buck. Damnit, Scott!

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yeah, Daredevil it ain't, but clusterfuck? Nah. I might be wrong, but I peeped a Jack Kirby easter egg instead of a Stan Lee one and that was worth the price of admission in itself. Also, have you ever read Inhumans? It's not exactly the easiest property to adapt and I thought they did a decent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatella Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 NZA and I watched the first episode and I enjoyed it! I haven't read the source material, but I thought the characters and beginning of the story were interesting enough to keep checking it out (in it for Lockjaw, TBH). But I could do without the industrial covers of classic rock songs, haha. Those were unintentionally hilarious. I know TV budgets and time constraints usually make for shitty effects, but these weren't bad! I've seen sooo much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 yeah, I was glad she dug it - digging the source material (under certain writers) always makes me wonder if there's enough here to entertain someone with no attachment/less inclination to ride out slower bits (preacher comes to mind...), but I'm definitely on board. looks like it's up to 4 eps so far, and knowing this is all we get, I'm eager to see where it goes - should tie up right before agents comes back, I figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 While it isn't DC Cinematic Universe bad, it does start to get worse the further you get from the first episode. Still, I'm on board for the rest of this. It still blows my mind that Marvel has gotten so big that we're getting Inhumans live action.

The NZA Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 done this was like early marvel agents...I enjoyed parts but can't imagine people who aren't fans of the book liking this much (beyond lockjaw - well okay, karnak/gorgon were highlights too) Scott Buck really can't keep getting work, though. god, there were fight scenes where they not only had a few dozen cuts, but each obscured the action. a lot of CW stuff here, and the laughable licensed music covers kept coming (blow up the outside world was peak) but yeah, 1 season was enough.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Yeah, we're probably not getting more. Mercifully. But imagine that cast (the mains)... with movie money and effects. Coulda been something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 it totally could've, yeah...the MCU formula would've shined here, some decent effects without buck's human side story as much, and this could've been a solid 1.5-2 hours. still bummed we're not gonna see that now, but i'll take what we can get.
