INHUMANS Cast Respond To Negative Reviews; Claim The Series Is Only "Loosely" Based On The Comics

@Ha1frican - Exactly! I'm not too versed on the Inhumans, but the show looks bland and boring..

@Ha1frican - Yeah, it's the Inhumans, not the X-Men. Nobody really cares about them. This show just looks bad.

Marvel has its first spiralling flop and watching it unfold and seeing marvel fans (me) coming to terms with that has been amusing to me in ways that I can't convey.

@AlphaDean - That's disappointing.. It should've remained on the movie slate

@DomoAgamotto - Aint that the truth. All that power going into INFINITY WAR would have been the dopest!

@mastakilla39 - You should really give SHIELD a second chance. Got so much better after Winter Soldier came out during the first season. Up until that point they were kind of just treading water while fleshing out the characters a bit.

@HeraldNumber7

More like softening the blow of bad reviews and criticism they know is about to come their way. That's purely damage control.

@DAGuess - "Oh, well that will certainly make people feel better."

Well, it depends upon the persons' attitude. It will help them to feel better once they QUIT having unrealistic expectations and preferences (which usually leads to disappointment) and just enjoy what they are actually getting. But this is a difficult for people to do when they have a habit of doing otherwise.

But at least Marvel tried to warn people. Marvel has many times, warned fans that they are NOT making these films/show for the hardcore fans, but fans still, despite having no control over the films/shows, come up with expectations, preferences, hopes, and other things that ultimately lead to their disappointment.

And, naturally, instead of taking the blame themselves for their own attitude and behavior, they blame the studios. It is learned behavior.

Anyway, people usually "feel better" when they have better attitudes.

I hope that makes sense.

@SHFL - I see what you are saying but if that was the case, why are they just now choosing to use that as an excuse? If that was the issue that should've been mentioned ONCE before this trainwreck went into production. But it wasn't mentioned about the Inhumans once. Find me an interview where someone from the cast/crew/Marvel says that before this one and I'll eat my words.

I want Inhumans to be good. I actually really like the Inhumans. But that doesn't mean I can't be upset about how Marvel TV has handled this whole situation.

@SHFL - I agree with you about all other Marvel films/tv shows, but I'm specifically talking about how they said nothing about "loose adaptations" ANYTIME before/after Inhumans went into production. Zemo is a great example, because he was almost Zemo in name only in AOU, but it still remains to be seen how truthful his MCU version will end up being from the comics. I have heard that he will be getting his mask in his next appearance. And based off unused concept art from AOU, he was supposed to have the mask in the first one. But yeah man, I totally agree and get what you're saying. Things just simply don't translate from page to screen that easily in this day and age.

However, I personally don't have any problems with them straying from the source material, as long as they throw some familiar stuff in there and stay true to the depiction and the roots of the character. Make the characters what you take from the comics and use their motivations/goals/hopes/weaknesses to create an original story. It sounds so easy in text, but we all know it is not, as evidenced by the many CBM failures, not just the MCU and DCEU.

Thank you, I've enjoyed this convo and I hope you enjoy the Inhumans as well, my friend.
