Looks horrible, honestly. ---

Lockjaw looked good. The rest? Not so good. God the moon looks boring. ---

Marvel is trying to replace the X-Men with the Inhumans, because they don’t have the film rights for the X-Men to be inserted into the MCU. A trailer tries to put in the most interesting, eye-catching parts of a movie. If this is all that they can come up with, imagine how bad the rest of the movie is! ---

The noise that Black Bolt made should have taken out about a quarter of the planet. ---

It’s a shame that Anson Mount is playing Black Bolt. He’s a great actor, but he’s not going to get a lot of dialogue. ---

> [@RikWriter](#): > > Don’t know, I never read the Inhumans stand-alone comics, only read about them at all when they interacted with the Fantastic Four. I’m familiar with them only from in the current incarnation of _Ms. Marvel_. All I can say is that as far as I can tell, the doggie is missing his tuning fork. ---

That looks… Not good. I can’t do audio at work so I didn’t get any a dialogue. Still. Medusa’s hair, Crystal’s hair ☹ Too bad they killed of Pietro. ---

It does look underwhelming…especially because there’s no ornate grandeur to the Inhumans in this and…the population just looks like regular folks. There needs to be more weird looking ones. And they all look like they live in the mezzanine of the Walt Disney Concert Hall ([http://aria-ben.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/AD-Classics-Walt-Disney-Concert-Hall--Frank-Gehry-18.jpg](http://aria-ben.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/AD-Classics-Walt-Disney-Concert-Hall-%EF%80%A2-Frank-Gehry-18.jpg)) ---

I have to admit that isn’t what I expected at all. At least it’s different from Agents of SHIELD unlike the other Spin off they had planned and canceled. ---

That trailer bodes ill. I haven’t read many Inhumans comic books, but I know two things: Medusa has kick-ass hair, and Black Bolt either “speaks” in thought bubbles or allows others to speak for him (especially Medusa). If the trailer can’t portray either of those properly, what else will be missing from the show? ---

Apparently, Black Bolt will communicate with sign language, instead of the telepathy he uses in the comics. ---
