00:00I'm going to kill you.
00:06When people talk about the Inhumans, it's kind of surprising how long they've actually been around,
00:11even though they've never fully taken off in popularity the way other Marvel groups have.
00:16They first showed up in Fantastic Four number 45, and since then, they've been part of Marvel lore
00:22for decades. But even though they have all this history, they've always felt like a group that
00:26never quite got the spotlight they deserved. There are exceptions, of course, like Lockjaw,
00:31the giant teleporting bulldog who became a fan favorite, especially through his connection
00:36with Ms. Marvel. But overall, the Inhumans have stayed in this weird position where they're
00:41important but not fully explored. What makes that even more interesting is that Marvel actually had
00:47big plans for them at one point. Kevin Feige openly talked about wanting to make an Inhumans movie as
00:53far back as 2012, which shows that the interest was definitely there. And it wasn't just talk,
01:00because there was a time when an Inhumans film was officially scheduled as part of Phase 3. So
01:05clearly, Marvel saw something in these characters that they thought could work on a large scale.
01:11But plans changed over time, and instead of getting that big movie, the Inhumans ended up
01:16with a TV series that didn't really capture what made them special. Even though that show didn't land
01:22the way Marvel probably hoped, it doesn't mean the idea of the Inhumans is gone. In fact,
01:28it almost feels like the opposite, because the MCU has reached a point where it's exploring bigger
01:33and stranger concepts, especially with the multiverse saga. And that kind of environment
01:39actually suits the Inhumans really well, because their entire concept is already pretty out there.
01:44They have a hidden city, usually on the moon, their powers come from their DNA being activated,
01:50and their society works very differently from normal human civilization. So even though that
01:56might have felt too unusual before, it could fit perfectly now. There's also a theory that the
02:01Inhumans might already exist in the MCU, just hidden away and choosing not to get involved in Earth's
02:07problems. That idea lines up with how they're usually portrayed in the comics, because they tend to
02:13keep to themselves and focus on their own issues. And if they are living somewhere like the moon,
02:19it would mirror the kind of hidden presence we saw with the Celestials in Eternals. So instead of
02:24introducing them from scratch, Marvel could reveal that they've been there all along, just staying out
02:30of sight. At the same time, even though they prefer isolation, the Inhumans don't completely ignore
02:36what's happening in the wider universe. Characters like Black Bolt have connections to major events
02:42and groups. He's often part of the Illuminati in the comics, which is a secret group of powerful
02:48individuals making big decisions behind the scenes. The MCU has already hinted at this idea in Doctor
02:55Strange and the Multiverse of Mandis, where a version of Black Bolt appeared. Even though that version
03:00didn't last long because Scarlet Witch took him out, it still showed that Marvel is willing to bring these
03:06characters back in some form. It feels like the door is still open for a proper introduction later.
03:12And one of the biggest opportunities for that could actually be Avengers Secret Wars. That storyline,
03:19especially in the comics, is massive, and it involves multiple universes colliding and being reshaped
03:25into something new. The 2015 version of Secret Wars shows this really clearly, because the entire Marvel
03:32universe and a bunch of alternate realities are destroyed and then merged into Battleworld,
03:37a patchwork planet made up of different regions from different universes. In that story, Doctor Doom
03:43becomes a central figure, basically ruling over Battleworld as a godlike emperor. And even though
03:49characters like Reed Richards and Black Panther lead the final effort to stop him, the Inhumans also
03:55play an important role in resisting his control. Members of the royal family are involved in the
04:00Rebellion helping to push back against Doom's rule and fight for what's left of reality. So if the MCU
04:07adapts something similar, it would make a lot of sense for the Inhumans to be part of that conflict.
04:13Even if they haven't been fully introduced before, Secret Wars is the kind of event where Marvel can
04:18bring in characters from different timelines or universes without needing a full setup. That means the
04:24Inhumans could show up as an already established group, possibly from another universe, and immediately
04:30become part of the larger story. That approach would also solve one of the biggest challenges with
04:35these characters, which is how to introduce them without slowing things down. Instead of spending an
04:41entire movie explaining who they are, Marvel could show them in action first and then expand on their
04:46story later. And if audiences respond well, that could lead into a dedicated Inhumans project after
04:53Secret Wars. Another interesting angle is how different the Inhumans feel compared to other
04:58Marvel characters. While recent MCU projects have leaned more toward grounded storytelling, the Inhumans
05:04are the opposite. They're full of strange sci-fi ideas, unusual powers, and a society that doesn't
05:11follow normal rules. So bringing them into the MCU could add a fresh kind of energy, especially if Marvel
05:17embraces the weirdness instead of trying to tone it down. That's also why some people think an animated
05:23project could work really well for them. Animation allows for more creative freedom, and it would make
05:29it easier to show their world without worrying about realism or budget limitations. Characters like
05:35Lockjaw, for example, would be much easier to portray in animation, and their powers could be shown in
05:40more visually interesting ways. But even if Marvel sticks with live action, the current state of the MCU
05:47makes it easier to take those risks. At the same time, there's still some hesitation about whether
05:53Marvel will fully commit to the Inhumans again. The previous show didn't leave a great impression,
05:58and the studio might be cautious about revisiting that territory. But the MCU has a history of
06:04reworking ideas and making them successful the second time around. So just because something didn't
06:10work before doesn't mean it can't work now. There's also the question of how the Inhumans fit alongside
06:16other groups, especially the X-Men. Both groups share some similarities because they're misunderstood,
06:23they have powers that set them apart, and they exist somewhat outside normal society. Because of that,
06:30Marvel might be careful about introducing them at the same time since it could feel repetitive.
06:36But at the same time, those similarities could actually lead to interesting conflicts,
06:40aspects, especially if their philosophies clash. Looking ahead, the most likely path seems to be a
06:46gradual reintroduction. The Inhumans could appear briefly in a big event like Avengers Secret Wars,
06:52possibly fighting against Doctor Doom alongside other heroes. That would establish their presence
06:58without requiring a full explanation. Then after that, Marvel could expand their story through a solo
07:04project or a series that focuses on their society and their internal struggles. In the end, the Inhumans
07:12are one of those parts of Marvel that still feels unfinished. They have a rich history, a unique concept,
07:18and a lot of potential. But they haven't had the chance to fully shine on screen yet.
