The first trailer for Marvel's Inhumans TV series has gone liꦦve. And before we go any further, you should probably watch it just so you have context for what people are saying:
So, yeah. It does what it needs to: sets up our major conflict (the Inh🐽umans are a group of superpowered space-dwellers who want to live on Earth,🍬 the king's brother is leading a rebellion against him) and introduces us to our main cast.
Unfortunately, initial reactions make it seem like this could be Marvel's first major flop, as Twitter is abuzz with negative comments and criticism. From the poor quality of the costumes (which echoes what p♓eople thought when the first promo pics were released) to the questionable acting and logical inconsistencies, p♓eople by and large are not happy.
I🃏 might be projecting because Scott Buck is showrunner, but #Inhumans just looks thoroughly bad. Acting, c🍨ostumes, cinematography, all bad.
C'mon. I love the #Inhumans c𒐪omics but this show looks terrible.

IMAX cameras really show off the majesty/scale of the LA community ൲center where t♍hey filmed #Inhumans.
Viewers also took umbrage at the way the show has portrayed Medusa so far. In the comics, the redhead can control her long locks and they are said to be impossibly strong. She is also, perhaps even more so than king Black Bolt, seen as a leader of her people. In the tr♕ailer she's... well, you tell 'em, Twitter.
I am FURIOUS about #inhumans so here we are yell🎐ing at 10:30 am pic.twitteﷺr.com/NJFcf4bto8
There are a hundred drag queens Maꦿrvel could have hired to create a dramatic Medusa wig that would stay on an actressﷺ's head #Inhumans
so medusa didn’t use her hai♈r AT ALL during the #inhumans tr🌺ailer so i already know the show is going to suck :/

If there is a silver lining to be found, it's that pretty much everyone loves Lockjaw, the gi🎃ant teleporting dog. The internet is a sucker for a good boy.
