Woot 3200.

But the inhumans will never replace it. There's something deeply..err.. inspiring and down to earth about it. Stan Lee partly based it on MLK and Malcolm X. That part of the message of the peaceful vs militant resonates.. it's an old tale. The Inhumans have none of it. It resides completely in the escapist framework of comic booky stuff. It's interesting on that level, but mostly for just fans who only care about that. The X-Men appeal to a lot of people, even if they don't know at it at first. Same goes for Spidey.. everyone loves the geeky teen element. Not just Spider-Man.

 

I'm not saying they should replace the mutants. I'm just saying that Marvel seems to be replacing the mutants with them anyway. The same "secret inner difference, waiting to manifest" that was once rooted in human evolution with x-men is rooted in alien genes with inhumans. The thinly-veiled parallels to real-world racism and bigotry once reserved for people finding out someone is mutant are now for people finding out someone is an inhuman. As for the MLK/MX parallel, you're right that the inhumans don't have it (though it could very easily emerge -- multiple groups of inhumans with different beliefs about integration vs. separation from humans). But then that message was clouded over the decades anyway. Heck, Magneto was practically more sympathetic than Cyclops in Bendis' Uncanny (I should also note that defaulting the Malcolm X representative to the role of villain has its own questionable implications). 

 

As for appeal, I think the fact that Marvel can slap Kamala Khan's face on the front of the inhuman push will help them a lot. She is already widely considered the modern Peter Parker. People don't know Inhumans so they don't necessarily care about them as much. But if Marvel is intentional about it, they can absolutely turn the Inhumans into the property that connects with people the way the X-Men used to. Their television shows are laying the roots for that already.

Imagine what you want, but you still got to get it down your gullet.

Oh its down I am just not very happy about it.  Bit of an after taste.

[MilesUpShore]

Oh man! Getting better! *eats popcorn while watching the conversation*

This is the first thing that comes to mind when imagining what you want? Interesting!

I didn't say anything bad there.

[ravenesse]

I didn't say anything bad there.

But urban dictionary told me (and maybe Miles too) something different.

Uh....well I know having an active imagination really sucks sometimes.  I do not actually have to be somewhere but I can see and feel entire situations in my head.

Me three. 

[LightningPoodle]

Does it taste a little bitter?

[Al Foley]

Does it taste a little bitter?

I have a feeling if I answer this question with an honest 'yes' you people will be snorting and snickering up your sleaves all night long.

Hey! That's your perverted minds at work there. Not me. (But that was what I was meant, yes.  )
