10 Times The MCU Betrayed Your Trust

10. Inhumans (Marvel's Inhumans)

Way back in 2014, when Kevin Feige outlined the schedule for the MCU’s third phase, there was one movie on the slate that never saw the light of day. Inhumans was originally supposed to release in 2018, between the then two parts of Infinity War, but other films unfortunately took precedence over it.

Phase Three was added to with the likes of Spider-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, which saw Inhumans pushed back and pushed back, before eventually being removed from the line up altogether. This is understandable, given the properties Marvel brought in instead, however it is what fans were ultimately given in terms of an Inhumans story that was insulting.

Inhumans were a big part of Agents of SHIELD, but in 2017 they were finally given their own property, a series on ABC. Following the Inhuman royal family of Black Bolt, Medusa, Maximus and co., this should have done justice to these great characters from the comics like a movie, in theory, would have.

However, this was not the case. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has rarely ever missed the mark, and never before or since like this. Inhumans was soulless, completely devoid of charm or humour, and was damn near unwatchable. To get our hopes up with the promise of a movie only to give us this was tough to take.
