It's entirely unsurprising that people ended up hating the Inhumans, as they were blatantly used to try and replace the beloved X-Men in some bizarre move to spite Fox over their continued use of the X-Men's onscreen rights.

Because this was done in such a ham-fisted manner, fans instinctively pushed back against it, forming a profound dislike for the Inhumans in general. So, when Disney gained the rights to FOX through an elaborate merger, Marvel sought to try and redeem the Inhumans themselves - in a particularly unusual way, by killing the vast majority of them off.

Death of the Inhumans manages to cut down their numbers by a considerable amount, having basically every Inhuman bar the 'main team' be wiped off the map. However, it was a move so powerful that you couldn't help but kind of respect it, meaning that it may have actually managed to save the reputation of the group for the time being.
