I can tell you this - the characters in the Inhumans TV show are the Royal Family. They were the first to appear in the pages of Fantastic Four and most Inhumans comics are about them - but they rule a hidden kingdom where everyone is an Inhuman. My guess is that the ones who appeared on SHIELD are either supporting characters from the comics or made up for the show, since, like mutants, you can invent anyone you want since it's unclear how many there are.

EDIT: I'm curious if I nailed the Batman page you were thinking about in the DC thread.

Sorry about that -- meant to reply further. The panel featuring Gordon in the lower left hand corner seemed familiar. I'm pretty sure that was it! I appreciate your digging it up. Solves a longtime mystery for me.

So are the Inhumans on Agents of SHIELD the same as the Inhumans on, uh, "The Inhumans"?

They are the same 'type' but the Inhumans show has no crossover with AoS.

Want a deep behind the scenes reasons for the conflagration of inhumans and mutants? Because it's all Fox's doing. 20th Century Fox is responsible for how big the inhumans are now in Marvel after decades of obscurity.

Because they own the mutants' film rights and Marvel can't have them in the MCU, right? But Marvel owner Ike Perlmutter found out that the Marvel universe has a super powered race called inhumans that are as varied as the mutants, except they're a smaller number of alien hybrids rather than worldwide genetically evolved civil rights analogies, so Ike ordered a multi-prong assault to elevate the status of inhumans. This includes forcing Kevin Feige to announce an Inhumans movie against his wishes, ordering the SHIELD show to start introducing the inhuman concept, and getting the Comics to do this event book called Inhumanity where Black Bolt sets off a Terrigen Bomb that reveals a significant number of earth's population as inhumans, outnumbering the mutants. Also they killed Professor X and cancelled a bunch of X-Men books. Just really petty shit.

And then Feige got annoyed and went directly to Disney to request a separation between Marvel Studios and Marvel Entertainment so he doesn't have to deal with Ike anymore. As soon as that's finalized, Feige killed the Inhumans movie he never wanted. So now Marvel has a TV show like SHIELD that's doing a lot of (admittedly great) groundwork for something that's not gonna be the next big thing. Not willing to let that go to waste, the Inhumans show then got greenlit. Nobody else wanted it, but here it is.

Depends on how much credit you put into the source

I don't think they would still be making the movie at all if Tatum dropped out. He seems to be the only person willing this project into existence throughout the years.

Is this a common thing for directors to do? Favreau's presences is interesting.

In fact, I might say the Grandmaster is my new favorite character in the Marvel universe if it weren't that Miek makes his debut in this film.

If I ever die, and go to heaven, the first thing I'm going to see are all my dead pets. And then God will lead us all over to a screening room where I can watch an epic Miek trilogy.

Anyway... I don't think any film of the modern era has captured the batshit crazy fun of 80's classics like Flash Gordon and Buckaroo Banzai as well as Taika Waititi has here. I felt like I was fourteen watching a magical VHS tape that exploded into something grand. It's the most colorful of all Marvel films -- I mean, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is practically sepia-tone in comparison -- and it's also the funniest.

I think Chris Hemsworth is finally able to go full-Thor and full-Hemsworth, charming and hilarious. Tessa Thompson is perfect as Valkyrie (my other new favorite character), and Taika as Korg steals every scene he's in. In casting that role, I think Taika was very lucky that Kronans have the same exact accent as New Zealanders.

I told Mark Ruffalo on Friday night he was the greatest actor in the world, and he didn't let me down. I didn't think Hulk could get better that he was in the first Avengers, but I think he's captured here as well or better than he's ever been captured in film OR comics.

So, please, go see this freaking movie, unless you're one of the people on Twitter who tweeted me last night that comic book movies aren't supposed to be fun. I don't quite get that but, you know, if that's your thing, all good

Never follow the news so I'm intrigued that (from the trailer) they seem to make a superhero film that has another genre be more prominent.

I don't know much about the New Mutants, but is this accurate? A haunted house?

No, they're just deliberately turning it into a horror movie to make it unique. I'm into it.

Me too. Completely different direction from what we're used to.

Unique for movies, that is, since television already has an X-Men horror.

And I dig it, too. It looks awesome.

Why can't the X-Men team-up movies be as focused as this, Deadpool and Logan?

Oh I'm down for it, I just didn't know if there was a precedent for this in the books.
