For better or for worse, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been afraid to take big risks. This has been especially true when it comes to their recent pivot to television, with certain shows receiving high praise, like Loki and Wandavision, while others, such as Secret Invasion and She-Hulk, not so much. One of the MCU’s forays into TV, and one of its biggest risks, however, was also considered to be one of its worst and ultimately most forgotten entries. While the MCU has been able to turn characters from the comics who were once relatively unknown to the general public, like the Guardians of the Galaxy, into household names, the same couldn’t be said for what they attempted to do with Inhumans.A screen adaptation of the team had been in the works since the early 2010s, but by the time it finally saw the light of day in the form of a television series, and despite all the hype that Marvel and ABC tried to build around it, fans and critics alike were less than impressed with the final product. The show’s negative reception led to a lack of viewership that resulted in its cancelation after only a single season. Even though the MCU has since chosen to ignore it as part of the official canon, it has since left a noticeable stain on the franchise’s reputation and was one of the first rare examples of how, despite the dedication of its audience, certain ideas of theirs are just not destined for the same amount of success as what had come before. Despite its failure, however, Marvel has shown that there could be potential in revisiting its set of main characters (to a certain extent).While the show was in the middle of its successful run, the network’s other MCU series, Agent Carter, was canceled after only two seasons in 2016, and several planned S.H.I.E.L.D spin-offs were failing to materialize. Both Marvel and ABC were looking to create a show that would be equally beneficial to both of their brands, and the Inhumans project went from big screen to small screen in the process. Writer and producer, Scott Buck, having received multiple Emmy nominations for his work in shows like Dexter and Six Feet Under, was brought on as showrunner after previously holding the position for the first season of Marvel’s other series, Iron Fist, earlier in the year. Even though the series was not a direct spin-off or held any real story connections, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s second and third seasons introduced and focused heavily on the concept of the Inhumans and the Terrigen Mists that give them their abilities, to create a sense of familiarity with viewers, seeing how the characters were not as widely known.
