With a mixed response to the show's trailer and what feels like endless negativity online thanks to poor reviews and awkward Q&As, things aren't looking good for Inhumans right now. Well, that could be about to get a whole lot worse. Comic book fans know that Black Bolt can't speak because even a whisper would destroy a city block but it sounds like we're hearing nothing from him in the series.
"When we first sat down and started talking about the role, we said, very point blank, ‘You have no dialogue, and you will never have dialogue," Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb revealed during the show's recent TCA panel. "It’s not as though there’s a point where there’s going to be a secret operation. You’re going to have to find a way to communicate with your hands and your eyes and another way."
One of the trailer's most awkward and cringe worthy moments came when Black Bolt is punched in the stomach and we get to see a glimpse of his powers when he lets out a grunt. It looked horrible and was a poor way to show the hero's powers so the fact that might be as good as it gets is very concerning.
One saving grace for Inhumans would have been seeing him unleash his powers by letting out a scream and destroying an enemy or building in his way. It could still happen but doesn't sound likely so we'll see! What do you guys think of these comments? As always, let us know your thoughts down below.
