Inhumans Trailer, My Thoughts

The Inhuman Royal Family is coming to TV! Yup, they'll be getting their own eight-episode TV miniseries on September 29, and the first two episodes will be played in IMAX theaters on the 1st. Because they are the Inhumans, a lot of people have whined and complained about them. But let's give the trailer a looksee.

The trailer begins with a view of Earth from space. It then switches to the Moon, and a voice states that sooner or later, the humans will find them. The view then switches again to Anson Mount's  Black Bolt meditating in a room. I think there is a special room in the comics in which Black Bolt can speak to people without his voice, you know...wrecking a city block.

We get a glimpse of the Royal Family sitting at a table eating together. It's kinda neat to see them dining together like a family, and all that. I know the costumes have gotten flak, but has anyone ever considered that those outfits might be the Inhuman equivalent of casual wear? Why would Black Bolt wear his hood and mask to a family dinner?

Maximus really wants to go to Earth. He's got a big list of things he wants to do there: Go to Disneyland, meet his online pen pal, try those 'scone' things everyone talks about, get a Netflix account, ride roller coasters, see a live wrestling show, man's got a lot of stuff he wants to do. He also feels that Earth is their rightful home, and as such, they should be living there.

Black Bolt then ends up in Hawaii thanks to Lockjaw. He should go see a volcano when he's there. His presence causes...a bit of a disturbance. Since he can't talk, he should bring a pad and paper with him in case of stuff like this.

There's lots of action scenes, including some glimpses of Triton. From what little we see of him, he does resemble his comic counterpart, which is great to see.

The trailer doesn't reveal a whole lot, but the basic gist seems to be that Maximus wants to go to Earth, and he wants to lead the Inhumans be there, the rest of his family be damned.

I honestly don't see it. I don't see why everyone is so angry about this trailer. The costumes are simpler, yeah, but at least the characters are recognizable. It's not like they're all in generic black leather *cough*X-Men*cough*. And the trailer is a minute-and-a-half long. It's not going to reveal everything. But then again, if it did, people would grumble about spoilers. Honestly, I think they're just whining about the trailer because Inhumans.

I'll give this series a shot. It could be a ton of fun. Besides, I like Lockjaw.
