Gorgon and Karnak take on Auran and her Inhuman army with disastrous results.

Just when you think Marvel’s Inhumans can’t get any more worse, the show surprises you and does somethign that makes you not only scratch your head but also question why you’ve wasted the hours watching the show.

The show converges two plotlines and as another having you really question what the writers of the show were thinking.

Most of the show feels like the characters wandering around in a haze as they try to find each other and finally Crystal is united with Black Bolt and Medusa. How it happens is a little silly, but what could have been resolved a few episodes ago finally happens. There’s some interesting decisions that involve a jealous ex-girlfriend in a plotline that was unnecessary and rather a waste of time. It feels like this entire plotline’s plot is to say “not all humans are bad.” It then kills that argument in one scene that again makes you wonder why even go that route. A waste of time and potential.

Then there’s Gorgon and Karnak who go after Auran and her army cause fighting drug dealers wasn’t enough. The action is boring and results in someone dying but that unto itself left me frustrated and angry at the waste and set up. Basically, one of Auran’s forces is too dangerous (and you can guess who) and a choice is made to bring down a roof on him which catches Gorgon in it too (spoiler, sorry, but do you care at this point?). So, Gorgon is seemingly killed. But, Gorgon had the enemy in a choke hold and could have choked him out or snapped his neck. For training this force, Gorgon sucks at his job. The set up was also a bit too close to Man of Steel and in this case self-sacrifice was chosen. While Gorgon was one of the more interesting characters, he never reached a point his death would have a major impact on viewers. It’s shock without actual connection.

And that sums up the show really. It goes through the motions with strange choices and decisions that don’t make much sense when you think about it and feels like no one really has a handle on the subject or the characters. While many think Marvel’s Iron Fist was a low for the company Marvel’s Inhumans says “hold my beer.”
