Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Just took a look at that Moon Girl clip, and the animation/comedy style reminds me a little too much of Teen Titans Go!.
Then again, I haven't exactly followed any cartoon stuff since 2013, so maybe I'm biased.
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."Moon Girl’s connection to the Inhumans is very sparse and she even spends the first arc of her run trying to not activate her Terrigenesis, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they excise her connection in the cartoon.
I think the cartoon looks great. It sounds like Lunella has a much stronger supporting cast to bounce off than she did in the comic.

You can excise her inhuman connection without making her a mutant because her actual superpowers are super downplayed in her book
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWhat’s ironic about her attempts to avoid Terrigenesis is that Lunella’s power turns out to be swapping minds with Devil Dinosaur on occasion. Meaning if he had never come from the past, her efforts to avoid the gas cloud would be needless because her power would be unusable.

I still don't get why everyone is so fixated on Inhumans in the MCU. Can't we let that die a spluttering, bloody death? The only reason they existed to begin with was that Marvel lost the X-Men to Fox so they wanted something else they could write mutant stories about.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Looks like we got a still of the Zombies series
. Seems we've got the Red Guardian and that dude whose name I've already forgotten from Shang-Chi involved in this show.
Also, what the hell is Jimmy Woo wearing???
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."... what Inhuman love would that be? All someone said was "I wonder if this character will also be a mutant in the MCU." It's not like it was said it any particular offense to the change actually happening.
In situations like this, you often find that people jump to defense when people jump to offense. No small part of why people defend the Inhumans may well be because people are so quick to pre-emptively condemn them.

Just want to slightly correct this since that's a misconception: no, that's not the only reason they exist. They existed long before Ike Permulter decided to use them as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for the Mutants and were introduced as a supporting cast for Fantastic Four as far as the Kirby era. There is more to them than being X-Men Nite.
Personally I do not care that much for Inhumans, but if I had to guess, it's that people are worried that, now that Marvel got the X-Men back, they might go overboard with fixing and try to slaughter the Inhuman and all the development related to them - which is a bit excessive. They still have potential as their own thing, even if I agree they don't need their own tv show or movie.

Well, there was an outpouring of... vehement disapproval... over Kamala Khan not being portrayed as an Inhuman in her series. So...
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"![]()
I think it's a mix of They Changed It, Now It Sucks! and the fact what they gave us instead of the Inhuman origin being convoluted and not very coherent - in contrast to her very straighforward simple origin in the comic. Personally i'm not fond of her new origin but I don't really care about her no longer being an Inhuman.
But yeah, we agreed to drop it, so i'll stop there.

It's not a love for Inhumans, it's a hate for how X-men treats every character who isn't wolverine. You can't look at how storm got treated in the movies and tell me that a character would be better as a mutant.
It's way better to be a big fish in a small pond than the other way around.

I wonder if they're going to make Moon Girl an adaptational mutant to follow in MCU Kamala's footstep since they're the only two non-royal Inhumans that most people care about but they already swapped Kamala being Inhuman out for her being a mutant?
