I can't watch The Inhumans. I can't get past how utterly ridiculous Medusa is. Like, I'm all in for wacky superhero powers, but for some reason, independently mobile hair is too much. If the hair was actually snakes, or snaky tentacles, I'd love it.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That was actually my thinking back when they first introduced the character in the comics way back in the silver age. Never really cared for any of the Inhuman characters, except maybe Lockjaw.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
They pretty much took care of that problem in the first episode. Which is why I guess they didn't bother to make the hair look good in any way.

Lockjaw is nifty. But I'd just as soon watch him with the current Ms. Marvel.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you haven't already read it, Glen Weldon's review of The Inhumans is hilarious and, I suspect, much better than the show itself: [link]

Still not loving the Inhumans, but there's a brief moment where a Hawaiian person comments on the US usurpation of their sovereignty, and I did like that.

So I watch the Red Carpet Premier of Thor: Ragnarok live last night. Everyone in the film looked like they had SO MUCH FUN making this movie.
I want to hang out with Taika Waititi and Jeff Goldblum.

I'm watching the second episode of The Gifted. It's so much better than The Inhumans. I actually care about some of the characters. I don't remember their names, but I don't roll my eyes at every third line they utter, so it's a notable improvement. So far in my head it's Amy Acker plays Mom, Michael Westen's mom, and Agent Burke's slightly less attractive younger brother. Plus a bunch of younger mutants.
