@SKetCH - I saw the IMAX screening and it's not that bad. The biggest issue is the limited budget, which forces them to write the story to limit the use of their powers. But it's not as bad as Iron Fist or Defenders. So that's something.

@Pigdango - the director obviously knows how to make a generic television show, he "makes it work," that's not what people have to come to expect from Marvel, add to the fact that media is already over saturated with super hero content. It's getting to the point where fin you're going the super hero route it really needs to be done with grace because people are quick to reject it, we have many to choose from.

I gave up on Shield, I'll watch this just because the show has a few favorite characters for me. Just seems the characters suffered the most, Attilan even

@thekabsin - Well without getting into any spoilers, let me break each character down:

Black Bolt - Hated him going in. Didn't like that he wasn't wearing his mask, and his costume looked like an X-Men costume. In other words, terrible. His face also looked like he was holding in a fart. However, the actor is terrific, and Black Bolt is the best character in the first two episodes. Aside from his costume, I don't know how they could have gotten him any "righter." And let's face it - his comic costume isn't that great to begin with.

Medusa - Hated her going in. Costume looked like a 90's TV movie get up, wig looked terrible, hair effects looked silly. Not a lot of that changes from what I watched. It's not a spoiler to say they shave her head to cut back on special effects costs, which is...you know, it doesn't work. I can't defend that decision. But the actress does a decent job.

Crystal - Loved her going in. Her costume was the most comic accurate, and the actress looks gorgeous, young and naive - the way Crystal was portrayed for most of her comic book history. And of course...she was the worst part of the show. They stripped about 90% of her powers. She can impact tiny objects, but that's about it. They also sideline her for the majority of the first two episodes in a clear money saving move. And the actress is terrible. I liked that they hired such a young actress, but...oof.

Karnac - Loved him going in. I thought he looked cool and I like Ken Leung. He's the most up and down. The most positive thing I can say is that his powers are on display throughout both episodes, but his performance is very inconsistent.

Gorgon - Didn't really have an opinion going in. They seemed to beef up his role and the actor does a nice job. The story takes all of the Inhumans in different directions and his is maybe the weirdest. I'd call him a highlight.

Lockjaw - Looks fantastic. Can't believe they went all in on him. But again - he is sidelined for most of the two episodes due to budget constraints.

Maximus - Unlike the comics, where they just say "he crazy", they did a nice job of actually giving him some motivation for taking control. However, the whole thing feels very rushed. I think a longer season and a slower build may have served Maximus and the story as a whole a lot better. It's not bad, just rushed.

Triton - the less said about him the better.

@Beetleborg - I doubt he even considers himself a journalist

@Kurne - Wonder what the white walker army is in this scenario.
