11. Some Stilted Acting From The Minor Players

While the main characters in Inhumans were cast rather thoughtfully, the same cannot be said for some of the secondary, minor, or background characters. Plenty of them are fine, mind you, but plenty of others are not.

For instance, from an acting standpoint, the opening scene feels rather sloppy. The entire exchange between Triton and the young Inhuman he's trying to save amounts to just expository rambling, and the two actors are unable to pull this dialogue off in a way that sounds even remotely natural.

There's also the man who watches Black Bolt and Lockjaw teleport in front of his car who is clearly supposed to be shocked, but the wooden delivery on the part of the actor just makes the character seem vaguely perturbed at best.

Finally, many of the background extras, both in Attilan and in Hawaii, are incredibly unconvincing,. Some are trying too hard and attracting too much attention to themselves, whereas others just seem disinterested.
