Starting point is 00:00:55 This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Much to the chagrin of us uh the people talking in this video james and mason hello hello everybody like uh captain christopher pike of the uss enterprise we're gonna boldly go where no man has gone before and watch the remaining episodes of inhumans the tv series a five-year mission it seemed like it does seem that way doesn't it the audacity of making these like 43 or 47 minutes long each. Because, you know, with the new Marvel stuff and a lot of the Star Wars Disney Plus,
Starting point is 00:01:29 it's just like you get 22 minutes of this and like that's it. That's all you get. That's all you deserve. But when I started up episode three. The first man to ever do that. Yes. And I know that they made these and released them in, you know, 2017. The idea that there were more of these, I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:01:46 when did they make these? How did this happen? Did they? I'm really not sure. Did they make them all in one huge block? Seems that way. And then they're like, well, we made them all. We have to release them.
Starting point is 00:01:55 They would have to be because otherwise they wouldn't keep making these, would they? Anyway, leave a like, especially for Ben who's editing these videos. He made a personal plea that he not have to watch the remaining episodes. And people decided. What do you do? They decided we hate Ben. Hashtag we hate Ben, they said.
Starting point is 00:02:16 There was a concerted campaign on Twitter. That's right. We don't hate Ben. No. We love Ben. But you hate Ben. You all hate Ben, yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Also, just a little thing. This is nothing, but the title sequence is awful. Like, I genuinely went, oh, I should go on Fiverr and just get someone to knock one up. A slightly better version. I did it because that would involve me thinking about the Inhumans more than I have to. And spending $5. And spending $5.
Starting point is 00:02:41 And quite frankly, that'd just be adding insult to injury at this point. There's no texture on them. They're not 3D. And the theme is just the start of the Avengers theme but then the composer just sort of forgot where it went and just went, just a bit of noodling? Go back and listen to it. We probably can't put it in for copyright reasons
Starting point is 00:02:58 but listen to it and you'll be like, oh, it's the Avengers. Well, no, it's not. What? It's the Fiverr Avengers theme. It really is. So we are doing episodes three to eight, capping off the Inhumans for good, hopefully. I hope they never make anything Inhumans ever again
Starting point is 00:03:14 at the risk of something like this popping up. You know, I don't need it. You'd rather they just don't reintroduce the Inhumans. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah. So the remainder of this series, for the most part, is separate little adventures. Because that's what you want in a team-up series or movie.
Starting point is 00:03:28 You know what I mean? Just split them all up and have them run around in the forest, which I guess is very X-Men in a way, because most of the X-Men movies are running around in a forest. Well, that is true. And also, I guess what they must have done is gone, oh, God, what are we going to do with these characters? They're not hugely interesting.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Let's have them go out and meet more interesting side characters. More interesting, yeah. More side characters. So I've broken it down into story beats. Okay, please. So we're going to go character by character. Little adventures. That's right, before they converge,
Starting point is 00:03:56 because they have to converge eventually. The Inhumans' big adventure. That's right, and then they use all their powers together. Just kidding, they don't. It doesn't happen. A lot of characters lose their powers in the previous two episodes we mentioned and just never get them back, really. Or sort of get them back.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Sometimes one character's legs change. He's just got regular legs. He starts out with goat legs and then for the rest of the series, just got regular legs. I just wound it back. I'm like, is there a scene that I skipped out on because I was not paying a huge amount of attention where like his dna gets altered by his dip into the ocean or his legs fall off and he's just they put regular wooden legs on him or
Starting point is 00:04:32 something nah they're just like could be tricky for this guy to fight in action sequences with those weird goat leg yeah stilt things just just say he has regular legs i presume it's some kind of boot disguise but like oh yeah no it's a boot disguise i mean that's not what now. I presume it's some kind of boot disguise. Oh, yeah, no, it's a boot disguise. I mean, that's not what it is. It's sheer laziness and a guy can't... They should have added a line where he goes, well, now I'm on Earth, I better put on my boot disguise. But can you imagine him clip-clopping through a forest
Starting point is 00:04:58 in, like, little cow stilts? The act of breaking his ankle every couple of steps? No. Couldn't do it. They need the line. That's right. Better put on my boot disguise so these dudes from Hawaii aren't scared by my goat legs. Even though they immediately figure out who I am when they find me in the ocean?
Starting point is 00:05:12 If I put on my boot disguise, they'll immediately embrace me like a brother, and they'll want to just fight for me and just machine gun people at random just at my whim. Because we're all soldiers, I guess. But also the people... Let's talk about Cowhoof Man. Gorgon is who we're all soldiers I guess. But also the people let's talk about Cowhoof Man. Gorgon is who we're talking about. So his story is that he teams up with some people from Hawaii. I mean initially he goes into the ocean
Starting point is 00:05:32 as we mentioned and immediately nearly drowns. Then he comes out and these guys from Hawaii are like. Surf's up. Surf's up. And like you we once had a king so we will support you without question. Yeah. Even though you could be from an invading alien army, which in a way you are.
Starting point is 00:05:46 That's right. So it also has one of my favourite moments from this series, a flashback to where he steals the American flag from the moon. He's like, look what I found. It was just out there. And Karnak, yeah, is like, come on, man. Like how much of a moron would you have to be to actually take that genuinely? Oh, a big moron.
Starting point is 00:06:04 You'd have to be a big moron, which I guess is why he dies stamping the ground, which is his thing, the one thing that he does. And I think the one effect they can kind of do, because you can do that in-app. Have you noticed that? Oh, I guess that's true, yeah. That's like a filter you could do in, like, a VFX app where the ground cracks. Well, actually, there is one other great effect in his little story, which is that one of the soldiers that is
Starting point is 00:06:27 after him, she has the incredible inhuman ability to make stagehands from slightly out of shot pull a bunch of plants apart. It's incredible. She's like, I'm going to focus all my powers. Now you, surly tradesmen, move these plants.
Starting point is 00:06:44 The incredible thing about that is as well, it's like 30 seconds. Like they could just go vroom. But you really see how cheap it is because you see all the plants like fold back very slowly. Well, the Teamsters are being paid by the hour. Oh, that makes sense actually when you think about it. Anyway, he dies. A roof collapses on him. But then he comes back because of Terrigen Mysteries, which I guess we'll talk about later.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Whatever, I guess. Black Bolt. The little adventures of Black Bolt. So his adventures is having a mate and experiments, I guess. Yeah, so he gets arrested. Also, and running around in a forest or jungle. For everybody. Everybody's running around at some point.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah, sure. He gets thrown into jail. But fortunately, he gets thrown into a jail where there's already an existing Inhuman. That's for everybody. Everybody's running around at some point. Yeah, sure. He gets thrown into jail, but fortunately he gets thrown into a jail where there's already an existing inhuman. Yeah, Hot Hands. Hot Hands is in the jail, and so a doctor calls up Hot Hands, and he's like, listen, Hot Hands,
Starting point is 00:07:35 you don't know me, but I need you to do me this favour. Use your hot hands to team up with Black Bolt, real name Blackagar Boltagon. Correct. Not a joke. Sounds like a dumb thing we would say on this or anything, but it's his real name.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Go get him and team up with him, become his best friend in jail and then escape the jail with him and then we'll come and get you in a helicopter and then we can use science altogether. Yep. You know? To recreate inhuman stuff. He's doing it for the bad guy. The bad guy.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Which again, Will. Oh, that's right. There's going to be a betrayal at some point. It's a big betrayal. Because this guy gets him out of jail. Yeah, exactly. And Black Bolt has lost his wife. He doesn't know where his wife is.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And so the doctor's like, maybe if she's an inhuman, maybe she's on my database of incredible inhumans with incredible powers. Check it out on this iPad. And then he's like, all right, is it lady with the long fingers? No. Is it big mouth girl?
Starting point is 00:08:31 No. Is it weird fake tan girl? No. Is it another one inch spike man? Oh my goodness. A la X-Men 3. Oh, side note, there is a moment right at the start of episode three where they're like, this guy Black Bolt, we've got to watch out for him because look at this footage of him destroying these police cars
Starting point is 00:08:48 and being in an altercation with the police. And it's just footage from the previous episode. I hate that. That is like my least favourite thing. They're like, we've got this cell phone footage of him running amok on the streets and it's just clearly professionally edited footage from the previous episode. Hate it. It's one of my least favourite things in anything.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Even in this? Even in this. One of the worst shows ever made? Just the laziness. Like a good example of that is, you know the Luke Skywalker reveal in The Mandalorian, right? The footage that they're watching on the monitors isn't the same footage that the audience sees
Starting point is 00:09:17 when it cuts to him of like panning and all this. You know what I mean? It's security footage. It's just lazy. Just put some grain on it at least so it looks like it's been filmed on a phone. Exactly. Anyway, we get a bit of a backstory about Black Bolt.
Starting point is 00:09:28 He doesn't want to be king, which also makes me think like, then what are you going to do? There aren't jobs. It's either you're in the mine or you're not. Do you know what I mean? Do you sit in your little apartment and just be like, I don't want to be king. He's going to do that for 80 years?
Starting point is 00:09:42 What do you mean you don't want to be king? We also find out, which was a shock to me, that when he killed his parents, he'd already been told to not speak because he'd kill somebody. And he does it anyway. They said, no doubt this. Don't speak. But the reveal is also...
Starting point is 00:09:57 They get a little bit of pop culture from Earth. That's right. They love that album. Tragic Kingdom. It's a good album, maybe. It's so eclectic, but it's cohesive. Go back to it. Listen, it's a cracker.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Is it really? Yeah. Fantastic. One of the reveals is that Maximus kind of set him up to do that to his parents but not really. The genetic council were like
Starting point is 00:10:15 we're going to absolutely like lobotomize your kid. Yeah. How about sign off on this? We're definitely going to do this and his parents are like we'll think about it. But then Maximus is like I'll fake the signature. I'll i'll do it yeah so also one of the things happens is maximus
Starting point is 00:10:29 gets the genetic council killed side note side side story little adventure it's like when the council dies on krypton it's like good like i don't these people should be dead they shouldn't exist they're just like upholding ridiculous bureaucracy they're misery merchants yeah that's right exactly they're sending people into the booth giving them weird like projector eyes just like upholding ridiculous bureaucracy. They're misery merchants. Yeah, that's right, exactly. They're sending people into the booth, giving them weird like projector eyes or like bear claws or whatever, and then being like, well, you suck down the mines you go.
Starting point is 00:10:54 And what's incredible is because every time somebody goes in, they're like, we don't know what they're going to get. Sometimes a guy will come out and his entire face is a laser and he kills everybody in the room, right? But with every ceremony that we see in this show there's just 12 people standing around going oh very good
Starting point is 00:11:10 it's like what if it's another fucking face laser guy what are you doing anyway whatever it's a bad system in a way in a way yeah there should be a guy who wants to get rid of it but he's kind of rude and loud and mean so i guess why would you support that guy? That's a really good point. Yeah, exactly. So Medusa, her story is being a bad friend. Now, in the previous video we did, in the first two episodes we watched of this show,
Starting point is 00:11:35 it seemed to be that Medusa wasn't clueless about the ways of Earth. Yeah. But I think they decided it was more interesting if she just was again. Just like when she goes to the ATM and goes, I'm the queen. Give me some money. Give me some money. So she knows what money is. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:50 But she thinks that if you approach an ATM that clearly says insert card, you just say that you're the queen of another planet and it gives you money? That's how it works, yeah. So instead of being a knowledgeable, powerful inhuman with incredible hair-based powers, instead she's just a fairly unbalanced, shaven-head lady who has a laser gun sometimes. That's a whole deal. She's just breaking into houses. Well, that's the thing, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:12:16 She's a thief. And she's a bad friend. She keeps going to that friend and being like, can you help me? And then the friend helps and she's like, great, I'm going. And then she'll steal the car. It's almost like once these people are stripped of their powers and their royal titles, they're just bad people.
Starting point is 00:12:29 It's almost like that, isn't it? Also, one of the reveals of that character is that her parents were banished for doing the same thing Maximus did and then she just married Black Bolt and just became the regular queen and just upheld all the order. And they try to justify it to be like, no, she was actually seeing the humanity in Black Bolt. Bullshit.
Starting point is 00:12:47 You took an opportunity to be like, I could be queen, so I'm just going to do that and not change anything. You're sold out. That's right. This show is all about upholding the honour of your parents if you're Black Bolt. But if you're not, don't worry about it. What I think is also an incredible crime of this character
Starting point is 00:13:05 in relation to her being a bad friend, because the woman she keeps bad friending, when they go back to the moon, the woman's like, I want to go to the moon. All I want to do is go to the moon. Take me to the moon. And she's like, no, you have to stay in this barn and explain to the police that there wasn't a big dog in here.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Or you all could leave. And then when they open the door, there'd be nobody there. There's nobody there. Nobody there at all. I don't know. Speaking of, there's a side story that's just a big dog in a barn. Well, that's true.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I mean, you know, some of the Inhumans get boyfriends and or girlfriends. That's right. I mean, that happens, and one of those is Crystal. She gets a cool quad bike riding guy who just loves to swim in the middle of crises. Yep. He just loves to just get out there and be like, hey, man, hang loose. Just chill out for once.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I mean, sure, your parents are missing. Your parents and your family are missing because, like, somebody wants to murder them. Chill out. Just take some time. Just have a little skinny dip in the ocean. That's what we say here. We say chill out. Just say chill out.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Don't even worry about it. Give me a high five. Chill out with me. Yeah. And she's like, ooh, this guy's got something going on. I think it might be a brain damage from that time he fell off his quad bike. So we've also got, what's his, the guy you mentioned. The guy who can sort of see the future.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Oh, Karnak. Karnak. So he. I think you fell off maybe the side of a hill in Hawaii and hit your head. Because you can never remember this guy's name. I really can't. As far as him though. and that's what he did he fell off he fell off the side of a hill and he hit his head and his incredible powers disappeared and then he just decided to be a
Starting point is 00:14:31 sad sack loser yeah and then he cut a bullet in half and i'm like great his powers are back not really shot his girlfriend that's what happened there he's using some powers like a little bit later again he's probably got the most visually interesting and compelling power to observe unfold yeah then you just they just don't really do it like a lot of these inhumans he shows up and he's like i'm clearly unbalanced and dangerous and somebody's like oh so intriguing i want to be friends or more with this person i like that his side adventure is i guess guys who are growing marijuana where he has to defeat an evil Nathan Drake. That's the situation. That's exactly what it is. Yeah. He hooks up with the ganja guys and they're like, we're weird and dangerous. Yeah, that's right. But love. But love also, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And what happens to her? She's just like, I can't be in love anymore. And she just wanders off into the forest. Because it's hang loose, baby. Just chill out, it's Hawaii. It's the spirit of Hawaii, baby. As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors. Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up.

Starting point is 00:16:39 I know it's not real. Hawaii must have got a tax credit for this. I hope so. And I think they were in exchange. They were like, you've got to make sure the spirit of Hawaii permeates this whole show. You can certainly feel that. Free love, baby. Just chill out.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Hang loose. Hang ten. That's right. Eat a moko loko, which is a rice and eggs based dish. That sounds really good. I've been to Hawaii. It's very nice. Anyway, I want to talk about a few of the minor players.
Starting point is 00:17:07 So there's a bunch of generic bad guys that are running around the forest also. One of them is Mortis. I just want to say, nice outfit, Mortis. Really cool. He's like a fucking idiot in your garbage bag suit. Is that a Dead Space cosplay? You haven't finished it yet? Is that what's happening there?
Starting point is 00:17:20 Bad. Awful. Also, he's not that bad a guy, but everyone's like, he's the worst guy we know with his big laser face, and we locked him away. And then later you find out he's just like, why'd you lock me away? I didn't want to be locked away. You could have not locked me away.
Starting point is 00:17:34 You didn't lock away Black Bolt. And they're like, nah, we're going to kill you, though. I mean, Black Bolt, if he, like, whispers in his sleep, he could kill everybody. I can just put this mask on, and everything's fine. I can sleep in this. It's fine. You know, I'll just sleep on my back. Yep. Don't I can sleep in this. It's fine. You know,
Starting point is 00:17:46 I'll just sleep on my back. Yep. Don't even worry about it. Don't even worry about it. Nah, fuck him, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Because it's good to have powers unless you've got too much powers and you're not the king. Where's his sexy face? Can't see it. It's probably so sexy. Throw him in the mines. Yeah. There's also Eldrack,
Starting point is 00:18:00 which is a sad face in the war, which we haven't mentioned yet. Teleporting war, teleporting war man. So I did some research on this guy yet. The teleporting war man. So I did some research on this guy. He hates teleporting people because it hurts a lot. What they've actually done to this person, according to the comics,
Starting point is 00:18:13 he's actually like a whole stone man, and they just built him into the structure, the foundation. They brick him up, wow. So you probably didn't have to do that. Could have let him live his life. But they did. Not a sexy face. Not a sexy face. But of course, we get the return of the greatest villain
Starting point is 00:18:27 in all of Marvel history. And by villain, I mean obvious hero, Maximus. Well, James, he's not the obvious hero because over the course of the series, he gets increasingly sweaty. Yeah. And he has like darker rings around his eyes. But also people constantly betray him.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And his main motivation, we find out, is because when he went to become an inhuman, get his inhuman powers or whatever. He just became a regular human. Yeah. And so he wants to, like, give that another go. And they're like, no, the council says you can't. Just let him do it. I understand he's meant to be mad.
Starting point is 00:18:57 He's the mad inhuman. He's a villain because what he wants to do is not enough of a justification for what is happening. Yeah. Just do it when everybody's asleep, I reckon. All you have to do is stand in a booth and stick a crystal in there yep it's fine exactly you know so the thing is as well i think he's a bit of an earthweeb this guy because we looked at like he had the hair clippers where you getting those i think he's collecting trinkets and one thing that ben furiously messaged me over over private, wow. Was that he uses PayPal to pay the scientist.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Does he really? He does, yeah. He's just loving earth currency and earth stuff. Hair clippers. Hey, guys, I'm planning on overthrowing a government and freeing us all, but here's my cash app. If you want to just throw a couple of bucks my way to sort it out.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah. I love the increasingly wild justifications why he is still the villain in this there's at one point one of his soldiers is like is speaking to medusa and is like you know we're we're gonna free the people from your horrible reign medusa and medusa's like well sure i mean you know we do oversee this this caste system which is kind of you know making whole life a misery, but Maximus did force you to come down here and stop us, didn't he? So in a way, who's the real villain? What about all the people you sent to Earth for various missions?
Starting point is 00:20:15 Or people you were just leading through the forest and stealing cars and clothes and things like that? That's not the same, because she was the queen. Is the queen? i don't know but also they're like we we forbid you to do another terror genesis because that would be awful that would destroy maybe for a bit and then they then karnak just brings gorgon back and medusa's like we'll have words about this later okay cool so there's no consequences fine is it yeah they might go mad for a little bit also if you solve you solve terrigenesis in terms of the powers it can give you,
Starting point is 00:20:48 then you could do that for everybody, and everybody would have nice, fun powers. Maybe powers where just infinite water and resources, and so you don't have to live in mines. Nah, but who would work in the mines, though, just to keep the system going, you know? The rock man. You keep him in there.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Keep the rock man in there. That's probably true, yeah. One of my favorite moments in this, and favorite because obviously it's bad go on is when he takes the scientist desmond from lost uh there's a few lost alumni in this well they're still hanging in hawaii exactly one inch spikes guy desmond probably others but um i just need to clarify yeah we know it's the same guy from x-men we know yeah we get messages but uh when he first sees the terra gen chamber, he's like, oh, my God, it looks like a phone booth.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Which, of course, like, yeah, it does. Like, it looks like shit. But Maximus goes, no, it's far more than that. Obviously. This is our most precious possession of our society, this phone booth. Like, those things are so far removed where you wouldn't be like, yeah, I see what you're saying, but it's more than that. We fucking know.
Starting point is 00:21:51 It's got Skype. I know all the apps. I use them because I'm an earthweave. Anyways, it looks like shit. But one of the things that he does, which I guess is a very bad guy thing, is if he dies, there's a fail safe. And I thought it was maybe linked to his heart. Where like if he's killed, then the dome collapses and everybody dies,
Starting point is 00:22:10 which ends up happening anyway. Not the everyone dies thing. Just the rock guy they leave in there. So he has to touch this thing every hour with his hand. Otherwise the system will collapse. And they're like, oh, you've got one over us now, Maximus. You're pretty clever. He's got his hand off. He's got his hand off.
Starting point is 00:22:25 He's got his hand off. It doesn't matter. You know what I mean? I do. Dumb. Anyways, what I liked, I know you have feelings, though, about his political plan and how things went awry for him. And maybe he's a bad guy, but maybe he's not a bad guy. Well, I mean, he's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I mean, again, he's just mean and he's rude a little bit. But his plan i think is is uh is is solid because his plan is to get all the inhumans to earth where they would have bountiful lands to to live free and shout at atms and etc uh and and it is a good plan and it's better than a bunch of people working in the mines yep and eventually what happens is he forces the hand of the royal family who are like it seems as if this grassroots campaign to get everybody to earth is popular and also our society is crumbling. So how about we go to the people and we make a speech about how this was our plan all along. And this is actually, we're actually, yeah, we're going to go through with this, but not with that meanie.
Starting point is 00:23:24 That meanie is not going to be with us, so don't even worry about it. It's bloody establishment politics is what it is, James. Sorry to get political, but it's almost like the ruling class. We're like, oh, this little campaign that the people have started, well, we'll be in more trouble if we don't do it than if we do. So I guess hashtag teleport to earth through a man who's a wall for all. You know what I mean, James? I know what you mean.
Starting point is 00:23:52 God damn it. Ridiculous. Makes me angry. Yeah, and fair enough. But I guess they came back and they learned some lessons from Earth. I don't think they did. No, they really did. Hang ten, though.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Chill out. I know, chill out. Just chill out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They weren't chilling out on Earth, though. They were just punching regular people. Also, there's a guy you can see the future. Oh, though. Chill out. I know, chill out. Just chill out. Yeah, yeah. They weren't chilling out on Earth, though. They weren't chilling out at all. Punching regular people. Also, there's a guy you can see the future.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Oh, yeah. Yeah, we mentioned him. We mentioned him, but he just, I keep forgetting he exists. Use him more, Maximus. Yeah, I agree. And don't just assume that the vague prediction he gives you is the one you're thinking of. Ask him for specifics. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Here's a question, though. Look, there's probably an answer in the show. You know that pond that they have, the one pond? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's two people in white robes that just sit in front of it? Uh-huh. What is that? Good question.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Is it an interface? They go with them, but is it like a minority report situation? I was just thinking it's a minority report situation, but they need a third guy. Yeah. And they're just waiting for the third guy to be terror genesis so they can all see the future or whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Well, look, I think if you're waiting for a third guy to do some minority report stuff into the mines, like make use of you until the third guy turns up. Agreed. Have a job. Have a real job. Agreed. I bet they drink in that water when no one's in the room. They're like, oh, this water is ours.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Yum, yum, yum. Yeah. So our power is if we don't sit here, this will dry up. So we've got to sit here and be left alone. We're not going to drink the water, I promise. We're not going to drink it. I mean, I'm sure the level of the water is shrinking significantly, but it would be shrinking faster if we weren't here.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Almost certainly, yeah. So we better just let it stay here. Yum, yum, yum, yum. So there's the promise in this series of Black Bolt's powers. You get a hint at it when he goes, oof, and the car goes flip, flip, flip, flip, flip. Yeah, yeah. Right? So the whole time they're like, this guy's more dangerous than anybody.
Starting point is 00:25:36 If he unleashes his power, the whole city could collapse. Everybody would be crushed under rubble and so sad. And it would be sad, wouldn't it? Yeah, all right. Because he's dangerous and it's sad or whatever. That then we finally get an idiot and he's so he could probably you know just yeah he could just go oh crumbs and then that's right to kill someone so the reveal of his power at the end is he decides to trap maximus on on the moon in a bunker so he's safe with food forever and then he comes out and he goes, goodbye, brother, or whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And then some rocks and concrete crumble down and that's the only real use of his powers that we see. It's not even that spectacular at all. I want to see him in a combat situation. Just do something else with it than that. Are you fucking kidding me? We waited eight episodes for that? Yeah, but then the budget ran out. Yeah, I forgot the budget ran out.
Starting point is 00:26:24 That's why the dog's in the barn so much. That's exactly right, yes. And then, of course, I'm waiting for the return of Medusa. I thought she was going to get some kind of terror genesis transformation or something happens. Mohawk, perhaps. Mohawk, whatever. You know, they're in a situation where it's like,
Starting point is 00:26:37 oh, my powers are re-manifesting because I'm threatened or whatever. And now I've got a pixie cut. Yeah, nah, nothing like that. I'm Karen-ing all over the place. Just at the end, they all stand on a football field and go, we made it to Earth, except for the rock guy. But we made it to Earth. And it's all our doing.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Yeah, that's right. We did it. You're welcome. Yeah, you're very much welcome. This fucking, it's terrible. Like, honestly, like, when I finished watching it, I'm like, it's not that bad, I guess. But it's like now talking about it, it didn't get better, did it?
Starting point is 00:27:03 It really did not. Yeah, like I certainly fell into a rhythm with it where it just kind of washed over me at a certain point. I did a lot of yelling at the TV. Yes. Yeah, obviously, is what I said a lot of the time. You would have said that a lot, yeah. I also did another bit of a deep dive on Disney+,
Starting point is 00:27:19 because I noticed these episodes actually do have recaps, because I guess these were released week to week I assume when they came out so that's why they're there there's no way of knowing no there really isn't no one watches it no one will admit to watching it yeah but
Starting point is 00:27:30 historians are like I don't know well when you search for Inhumans on Disney Plus you get one result it's not like also are you thinking about X-Men are you thinking about various animated series or whatever? Maybe you want some other MCU stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Maybe an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Because that has Inhumans in it, right? That's true, yeah. Nothing. It's like, there's one result. This is definitely not linked to anything else. So I tested this for a few other things, including cars. So if you search for cars, you get all the cars properties and all the cars spin-offs.
Starting point is 00:28:01 And then you just get, like, the Mandalorian. You know what I mean? It's like cars, but Mandalorian. You know what I mean? It's like cars but Mandalorian. Landspeed is like cars. I think they really just want to be clear that like this is definitively not linked to anything else. Even though we know it's definitely not linked to the Mandalorian
Starting point is 00:28:16 and you know that, we're not going to chance that that's also going to show up in the search results for the Inhumans. Fascinating. Fascinating. This goes deep. It certainly does. I hate it. Yeah, it sucks. i hate it yeah it sucks it's a bad show yeah and uh i'm i'm sorry to anybody who worked on this because it's obviously not your fault uh you know liv hewson who's in this i do that's true who plays the the girlfriend who's vengeful the vengeful vets uh did much better stuff thank god check out um check out uh santa
Starting point is 00:28:43 clarita diet exactly yeah they're just no good and uh hopefully this kind of new age of marvel Did much better stuff, thank God, than this. Check out Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix. Exactly, yeah. They're just no good. And hopefully this kind of new age of Marvel television and the new phases that we're rolling into, I think lessons were learnt, right? One would hope so. One would hope so. I mean, they certainly didn't give the showrunner another show.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Can you imagine, James? Can you imagine being handed the keys to a Marvel property for a full TV series and you mess up so badly they give you another show? Yeah. It was Iron Fist. The show Iron Fist. Iron Fist isn't as bad as this. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Yeah. But it also had the other, like, Defenders, Netflix, Marvel stuff to kind of build off as well. That's true. But it's clearly the weakest, though, of all of those. Anyways, this has been Caravan of Garbage. We do this every week. And next week we're coming back. Do you want a hint, Mason? Yes. But it's clearly the weakest, though, of all of those. Anyways, this has been Caravan of Garbage. We do this every week. And next week we're coming back.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Do you want a hint, Mason? Yes. Here it is. It's Superman, probably, I think. Remember when they were doing those Superman movies, I guess? Are we? Oh, yeah, now let's do that. Yeah, let's watch the Christopher Reeve Superman movies.
