    After everything that happened with the Inhumans killing mutants with their poison mist, and how the X-Men were demonized in X-Men vs Inhumans, I will never buy Inhuman books (unless it's ms.marvel).
    See, let's get real here; Mutants are analogs for minorities (Whether it's race or sexuality), and Inhumans are basically a monarch type society which rule with hierarchy and have tried to commit genocide in the past in the comics. So when they release a cloud which basically gasses mutants to death, you can see why a lot of us hate Inhumans now. Sterilizing mutants? That's some eugenics that started in the US against minority groups which eventually made it to Nazi Germany when it came to them believing in the perfect race...
    Magneto was a holocaust survivor, but apparently he did something wrong in planning to take the war to the Inhumans who barely do anything as mutants had been dying before Medusa ever said "even if it's one mutant life, I'll sacrifice the cloud". Apparently Cyclops in Mark Waid's Champions was called "Hitler" even though again, Inhumans were gassing mutants, but whatever I guess.
    Still cannot get over Inhumans vs X-Men, what were Mutants supposed to do besides fight back against actual genocide? Because the messages writers gave as alternatives are really messed up when you apply it to real life; because the idea telling a mutant to leave the planet sure is messed up.
    Wish Secret Wars didn't mess with the ongoing stories at Marvel like Uncanny X-Men, because I sure wish we could have seen more of the Mutant Revolution, it's really fitting with everything happening in the real world.

    I always found it comical that Marvel is attempting to get rid of mutants because they aren't worthy of being around because Marvel can't make movies with them when being unwanted is the very identity of the mutants.
    Also, Inhumans and Mutants are too different to actually truly sub for each other. Even with the NuHumans, they aren't mutants. They might not have had the choice but they are still Inhumans and are family with the others. They are related in some way. Mutants are in every sense of the word alone, until they find they place amongst a group like the Brotherhood, X-Men, or even the Morlocks. Using them for each other is a disservice to both franchises because it screws the X-Men over in general and robs the Inhumans of what made them unique.

      netherrealmshero Well, Marvel is clearly shooting themselves in the foot with this petty behavior. The Inhumans are hated in both comics and live action. Either get the X-Men rights back, convince Fox to share them or ditch this crap entirely. I don't care who has the rights; I just want quality. The Inhumans have lacked quality.

    • @guyoflife
      @guyoflife 5 лет назад +1

      but the x-men are also related to regular humans just like the Nuhumans are related to other inhumans. The NuHumans are still mutants just of a different group. if the NuHumans are accepted among inhumans and the x-men aren't accepted among humans then that's just inconsistent writing or the inhumans are just more progressive.

  • @stephenconnell

    Its worth noting that Kevin Feige wanted nothing to do with the InHumans as a movie but was originally forced to include them because of his then boss Ike Perlmutter wanting them included in the MCU's roster of movies. Then Feige was given direct access to Disney's management instead of going to go through Perlmutter so he dropped the Inhuman's movie from the MCU roster in the blink of an eye. It might have been worth mentioning this in the video as it indicates Feige does not see a place for the Inhumans while Perlmutter just wanted to use them as a counter to the X men owned by another studio You can see the point of the X men but the point of the Inhumans is less clear.

      Hearing other you tubers praise Perlmutter to the high heavens is so irritating. Yes he saved Marvel from bankruptcy, and made the MCU a massive success, but his feud with 20th Century Fox ruined a lot of fan-favorite products that featured the Fox-owned Marvel characters. It's dishonest to claim that Perlmutter had nothing but the right ideas for Marvel

    Here is the difference between Inhumans and Mutants: Mutants are minorities and Inhumans are nobility. Mutants want to be part of humanity, their powers make a divide that’s hard to get over. Inhumans couldn’t care less about humanity and would rather chill on the Moon. That’s why the Inhumans are so cool. You are ascending to a brand new society with crazy powers and a royal family. Marvel wants to take that away from them and overall, drive people to hate them. I fear for what they’ll do to Atlantis, if they want to use Namor.

      @Danny McMillan: I don't think you need to worry about Atlantis (well, not in the way you do) - I'm quite sure Namor, being rather closely tied to Fantastic Four, has been sold alongside FF when Marvel's movie rights were distributed. At this time, I find it unlikely at best for Namor to be part of MCU.

    My favorite version of the X-Men in terms of allegory (and in general) is Grant Morrison's New X-Men. It created a mutant subculture, made the team more like superpowered civil rights leaders than superheroes, and was political without being preachy. It made mutants feel like a real minority group with unique problems (not just a metaphor for a specific real group), so the themes about acceptance and treatment were more about how we generally need to respect each other and realize we're all human.

    I can't see this push to replace the X-Men with Inhumans lasting for long. Aside from cracks already starting to show in this plan with the "Fox Ban" on X-Men character in video games slowly being lifted (most prominently in Marvel's mobile games), the only NuHuman in the comics that's had any staying power is the new Ms. Marvel, and her being an Inhuman has so little impact on her stories that she could have gotten her powers from falling into a vat of cream of wheat and it wouldn't have made that much of a difference.
    Major props to anyone who gets that reference. ;)

    The Nuhumans can choose to go to new attilan and the public treats them as a "new", exotic, and organize culture and social structures with a long history to learn about and understand. They can learn of their ancestral heritage and return to their birth countries as representatives and teachers, possessing potentially beneficial knowledge and technology to share. Mutants on the other hand are mostly seen as Wild Cards that can pop up anywhere and anytime, with potentially obscene level of power in the hands of a *potential* criminal due to deeply ingrained fears and stereotypes held by people who would rather cling to negative examples than give decent mutants a far chance.

      I agree that the inhumans having their own state changes the interpretation of the inhumans. I think this point leans them towards an immigrants/first generation rather than an allegory for LGBTQ or American POC. Which is not to say Immigrants aren't Americans it's just to say that those who have been in America through several generations as a POC have a different experience than an immigrant POC or their children.

      @Chibihalo2 7 лет назад +5

      Mabasei doesn't that make the choice of having the first widely accepted New Human in the fan base after the bomb's cloud descended on the world all the more powerful? You have a young teen raised in a Muslim family who is already facing racism and xenophobic propaganda thrown at them because of their ethnic background and religion and how close they live to New York who wants nothing more than to be like all the non Muslim kids in her community. She's into non traditonal things like superheroes, animation, and fan fiction that her parents as more traditional practitioners of the faith don't see as something a young Muslim woman should be into. And even if they don't make her follow strict Muslim traditions, like wearing at the very least a hijab and long sleeves all the time, they still want her to be more Muslim than typical American teenager. So the fact that the series opens with her grappling with what is expected of her as a good daughter and female follower of the Muslim faith as opposed to what is in her heart because she's been raised in America is a really strong statement. Because Kamala is representing not only what it is to be Muslim in America but also what it is to be a Nerd in America and what it is to be a teenager in America.
      I don't expect to see Ms. Marvel tackle a Middle Eastern terror group like Al Qeda or ISIS but I do expect her series to take on some of the issues that teens growing up in a Muslim household might be facing today like the feeling of isolation and that their friends and neighbors suddenly don't trust them because of a piece of propaganda online or a Tweet made by a figure in the national spotlight. Having one of the first New Humans be from a Muslim family certainly opens up a world of relevant topics they can tackle with her stories.

    For an idea for a future video how about covering how the different obstacles that Marvel and DC face when they try to bring in a new character to take on an existing role. It just seems that DC has a bit easier time introducing characters as many of there heroes have an inherited tradition or legacy such as The Flash or the role has become designed to be flexible with characters like Green Lantern. Marvel just seems to have a bit harder time (push back would be a better term) when they play a new character in an existing role and it would be interesting to see who both companies approach this.

As opposed to being a mutant, where their power is their identity. It makes a bad metaphor even if you took away choice.

      It's been a while, but I remember feeling Agents if SHIELD seemed to be a better allegory for how Muslims were treated in the wake of 9/11. The main motivator in the show was people fearing their alien DNA because of the battle for New York. It didn't matter that they were still born on Earth, they were seen as alien and dangerous anyway. Similar to how everyone wearing a hijab was suddenly seen as a foreign terrorist regardless of whether they were born and raised in America or not. (And obviously even if they were an immigrant it wouldn't make them a terrorist anyway.)

    The Inhumans should never replace the X-Men, they should be developed as something wholly unique. First their origin unlike the mutants (except in 1610) was for military application. The Kree created them to take the form of the local species, to inflitrate and destablize if necessary. All the powers the Inhumans manifest have military applications. Black Bolt is a walking nuke (who by the way scared Sentry to a degree), Medusa is an unassuming assassin that would leave behind no evidence nor betray any intentions, Luna could very well make a soldier fire on his own people, and Eldrac can deploy troops where they are most needed without the need of long battle prep. The Inhumans are weapons, they have an established history and society separate from Earth in every way (at this point). They don't need to be accepted by humans the same way mutants do. Mutants are a naturally occurring thing, the Inhumans aren't as said in the video.
    If they ever come back it shouldn't be as Earth heroes. I think this is something that 1610 (Ultimate Universe) got right with them. The fantastic four met them and they didn't stand around and think "well they found out about us, lets seek coexistence and mutual benefit." Nah they left the planet. They didn't care about the humans or the F4 they just up and left, end of story, and through all the Earth based events they never appeared again to help. Crystal showed up once for Johnny to say goodbye and that was it.
    If they're brought back it they Marvel should expand on what was going on in Silent War. We are two different nations, societies, peoples and we choose not to have any or minimal contact with you. It should be treated as more of a First Contact scenario, rather than some new powered people who want to be heroes. Inhumans can pull off the isolationist thing, people complain about with Krakoa.

    They've gotten really close to finding a metaphor that really worked for the Inhumans. The Inhumans have their own sovereign city with its own government, customs and culture. Elements of that culture like Terrigenesis are voluntary but so ingrained in the culture that to pass on it may cause them undue social stigma. The Inhumans shouldn't be a metaphor for garden variety, at-home racism. It should stand in for xenophobia. A prejudice against foreigners and inability to understand and respect foreign cultures. In other words, in the world as it is right now, it should have been a metaphor for how some Western cultures see and try to deal with majority Muslim cultures.

      Part of that has to do with the fact that they put a ban on their artists and writers bringing in any new Mutant characters to the X-Men fold. Once they create a new character they become the property of Fox and they lose all rights to them. It's why they're focusing on the New Humans now and characters like Ms. Marvel instead of creating new mutants and the story lines that go along with them.

    The Inhumans are not mutants plain and simple. Mutants were born with their eXtra ability. That's why they are ridiculed by people in the Marvel U. Inhumans go through a process to get their abilities. This distinction is why I believe Inhumans were never a subject of hate in the Marvel U.
    TLDR: Inhumans follows the philosophy of Heroes like Spider-Man and Hulk, normal people gaining their powers later on in life. Mutants have a different philosophy, because they wete born with their abilities.

    Inhumans can never replace Xmen mostly because of how the most well know and popular are apart of the royal family or Ms. Marvel. Trying to make the two interchangeable takes something interesting away from each group and makes both less special. Inhumans are a great example of a sect of humanity that went down a different path based of alien intervention while Xmen are the group of misfits hated and feared by their own because of random genetics. Also Inhumans have a caste system based of kind of powers you get and have a group similar to slaves of not just straight up slaves so making them a stand in for repressed people may not be wisest course cause than you get the excuse "They treat those who are different from them poorly so we can treat them poorly cause they started it" similar how I've had people in my life justify US slavery cause there was slavery in Africa by fellow Africans.

      "I've had people in my life justify US slavery cause there was slavery in Africa by fellow Africans."
      Somebody actually made that argument? Aside from the fact that "they did bad, so we are allowed to do bad/worse as well" shouldn't be used as an argument by anybody anymore, it doesn't even make sense ignoring that.
      If US slaves were primarily white I could see that argument, "we held our people slaves, but so did others" it's the aforementioned argument. It would also make sense if most African slaves were white I guess, in the "we only did to them what they did to us" kinda way.
      But largely non racist slavery in one area really can't justify the addition of racism to slavery in another area since the racist element of US-American slavery is the main problem people have with it when comparing it with other forms of slavery.

It's like the brief period when the X-Men founded Utopia and it seemed like mutant kind would have a safe haven--thats always been the Inhumans. They embrace and celebrate diversity the way humans never could.

    Honestly, the Inhumans feel more like a rival to the X-men them anything else. They set off a bomb, killing off natural born mutants and creating the New Humans, whether they may have agreed to it or not, without any kind of choice in the matter. It's almost like if Cobra had played heroes, wiped out the Joes, created an army of snake men across the planet, then just stepped back patting each other on the backs, and let chaos ensue. I could see a massive battle between the X-men and Inhumans, but never a replacement of any sort.

    While I totally agree on Scotts arguments, there is one little problem there. And this is the reader himself. While growing up with the X-Men, even if some Inhumans are great, also their stories, I simply can't escape the thoughts, that they are the X-Men clones. There is this feeling I for one simply can't overcome. And this in particular keeps me at bay ever gaining full access to the Inhumans experience. Same problem I've entcountered to Hawkeye vs Green Arrow, Batman vs Moon Night vs Midnighter, Hyperion vs Sentry vs Superman, etc. Even if I underderstand the core idea is different to any of those Superheroes, there is always "the first one" I've encounterend, so automatically I feel like the other is just a bad clone. The thing is, you can't fix that feeling. I belive, the only thing that really works is, by diferentiating those "clones" as much as possible. And here we have the main problem with Inhumans vs X-Men, you can't, because they work on the same meta powerlevel. At this point story simply doesn't count, because you can change this story with ease from X-Men to Inhumans. And that argument of "X-Men-don't have a choice being Mutants, Inhumans can choose being supernatural": Marvel already did some different aproaches, with the Teramyst Gen fog in the comics or that Fishpills in the Agents of SHIELD series, to take away the Inhuman choice.
    "Can Inhumans replace Mutants as metaphores?"
    Puh, that a really tough one. Frankly I for one can't overcome the idea of them being just the "bad clones". So, my personal answer for me is clearly "no, they can't". But maybe in given time, other comic readers could.

Think about the irony that LGBT individuals are rarer in Marvel comics than mutants.

Outsiders see them as oppressed, but they are making a religious choice. Not everyone from those religions makes the same choice. Some groups want to make the choice for others, which is not okay.
    Another metaphor that I see is with the T in lgbt. While a transgender person is born that way, they make the choice whether to actually live as their birth gender, or not. They may choose to change, and only then be treated as an outsider.
    I'm not sure if it is perfect, but if done correctly I feel that the potential is there. They will be different comparisons than the x- men, but also similar.

      I always liked the X-Men, and related to their social-misfit status. If the jews and homosexuals and people-of-color got some comfort from them too, that's ace.
      The inhumans had a "choice" whether or not they became mutants and that's very interesting concept. That makes them a metaphor for some of today's less-trendy outcasts. For example - people on the Aspergers spectrum. Should such individuals retreat into our own little hobbies where we are happy and extremely productive but we get even worse at social interactions coz we never practice? OR should should we force ourselves into constant social situations, trying to gain the conversation skills that everyone else seem to naturally possess, but neglecting our mind's unique ability to process other information? It's a choice - and a hard very difficult choice, coz you don't know the repercussions until many years after your choose.
      Jews and homosexuals get to choose how much they reveal their religion and sexuality. They're like wolverine, who can hide his mutant status if he wants. People-of-color can't hide, but they DO get to choose whether they predominantly adopt the culture of their traditional race, OR the dominant culture in their current location. I mean, a chinese migrant in Australia can choose to live and work in the china-town district and stay loyal to his traditional culture and language OR mix it up in an area that's more multicultural, and adopt a proper aussie drawl. These difficult choices are something we all have in common.
      There's a focus these days on pretending no-one has any agency. Everyone wants to have the most "victim points" and to show how they had no choice in their fate. If Aspergers people had that attitude, we'd just blame the bullies who call us "nerds", "incels" or "nazis" whenever we utter a clumsy sentence. Still, that wouldn't be _honest._ Maybe we do have a genetic predisposition to having a tough time socially, but we also often CHOOSE to exacerbate the problem, but focusing too much on our own hobbies.
      It would be GREAT to have a comic that *reminded people that we all have agency, choice, and personal responsibility.* If you blame "your birth" for everything that is wrong in your life, how can you improve yourself? That's not a constructive narrative.

Thats not even mentioning the elephant called fame that sides with the Xmen. The inhumans are alien test subjects, a bunch of upstarts trying to replace a marvel icon, etc. while the Xmen may not be owned by Marvel, they are still recognized as a Marvel product much like Spider-Man or Hulk.

    I just wish that Marvel wouldn't punish the X-Men in the comics because Fox has the film rights. It's weird how they have to fight for equal rights in the comics and yet Marvel is casting them aside just because of some small thing they don't like. Sometimes it feels like Marvel is anti-mutant.

    Great video!
    I love both the Inhumans and the X-men for what they represent independent of one another.
    Not really liking Marvel's push for the Inhumans to be the new X-men, as I think they're fine as is and people who really love the X-men will never settle for a replacement.

    The whole ancient aliens thing ie the Cree inventing mutants thing is... odd and potentially problematic

    Here’s the thing. The concept of letting an ancient sacred ceremony being broken by the Terrigen mist is pretty darn interesting and why wouldn’t humans be so afraid of either mutants or Inhumans? As humans we fear what we don’t understand and that fear can be placed on the Inhumans and Mutants. Which is ironic cause humans fear change and from that fear we hate. Most people hate on Marvel for changing the standing point of Mutants and Inhumans, but honestly how interesting would it have been if Inhumans took the Mutants position and Mutants took the Inhumans by moving to the moon as its own civilization and when ever someone had their mutant gene kick in that they have a celebration? I’m someone who wouldn’t mind seeing this cause this could be a positive thing for Marvel but we’re all just too afraid of change which is also why so many people dislike Legacy characters, hell I’ll admit I was too with Robbie as a Ghost Rider but after reading his stuff I love it and now love these newer Legacy characters

      True, it would be interesting to see them trade places. You would think that each group being feared by humans would unite them. However, we mostly see them at odds with each other. I wonder if this is intentionally mirroring civil rights movements of different minority groups in the 1900's. If I remember right, there was a divide in feminist groups around uniting with Abolitionists' efforts to equality.
      It would also be interesting if the Inhumans spawned from the Terragen Mist bomb grew up to start their own school like Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. They would finally have a rival for sport tournaments.

      Joseph Gonzalez yes! That would be wonderful! But we’ll never see that anymore. I personally love the Inhumans more than X-Men and honestly they should both be put in a position that are alike. The concept of Inhumans choosing got thrown out when the bomb went off and they became people who got abilities without wanting them and there’s really nothing wrong with that

      Debashish Mahapatra that would be a cool angle to see things in. Going through the eyes of an uneducated child or adult and see how they see and feel about things, how they struggle to see the real difference and how it affects them and the people around them

      they can show why a child loves the Avengers but hates Spider-Man and mutants. That would be neat

    As a fan of both the Inhumans and the X-men I don’t think they’re interchangeable. One of them has a whole civilization where they where king queens and the such. They had a whole system and a way of life, for the most part people had free will and were able to change if they deemed it so. But once they decided that they wanted to get rid of the mutants they started chasing the story and brought Nuhumans into it. This gave them a look how much they are similar to mutants take. This still doesn’t work because these Nuhumans are pretty much protected by their own and also have a relationship with the government or at least SHIELD. The X-men are still not trusted and never are given the same rights. Just look at what happens in Secret Empire when they are given their own territory to govern. The mutants will always be oppressed and hated, while Inhumans chose to come down to earth, chose to be part of this civilization and then can go as they please.

    because the terrigan bomb was dropped, I think its only natural to treat the new inhumans that got effected against their will similar to the mutants since theyre being treated the same way by society

  • @Zhark159632

    No I don’t think they can be replaced HOWEVER I think they can bring other interesting concepts to the table kind of in the same scale as the X-men can.

    Hey Scott, the mutants weren't naturally occuring either. When the Celestials were fiddling around in human dna (Deviants/Eternals) they placed a latent gene in the remaining humans. That gene became both the mutant gene and the gene the Kree later exploited to create Inhumans.

    "...mostly white guys..." I mean heaven forbid the writers try to get white people to have empathy for a minority group. The fact that they were mostly white is partly the times of course, but can be spun into a way to teach tolerance to the intolerant. Making characters that appear like the audience, at the time predominantly white people, but act in ways and experience things that marginalized groups have, can create a connection between the two groups. The audience gains empathy for the characters and in doing so have a higher chance of being empathetic to those that face intolerance. I think that this is what is wrong with Marvel now. Before, there seemed to have been more of an olive branch approach. Now there is the active antagonizing of longtime fans or at the very least a large demographic of people on the basis of their politics. It doesn't allow for empathy when characters are written horribly and don't act like human beings. Not to mention needless race swapping. There is no empathy. No olive branches. They fuel more bigotry than they try to dispel which is why X Men's politics are so much better than current Marvel's.

      What do you propose? Keep most of the character base lilly white? How does the existence of Storm, Black Panther, Wyatt Wingfoot, Joe "Robbie" Robertson, or Shang Chi make it harder for white people to connect with people of color? What I am talking about is bigger than needless race swapping. Make my Madarin and The Ancient One asian.
      I'm not seeing how Marvel is antagonizing fans on the basis of politics. Clearly, Nazis and Commies are still the bad guys. I don't believe Marvel is saying Republicans are villains and Democrats are heroes. You could argue that the "Civil War" portrayed totalitarianism in a negative light. What was the backlash? The abolition of Afforbable Health Care and Civil Rights?
      I agree the predominance of "mostly white guys" in the 60s' was a sign of the times. But to appeal to other groups; Marvel started introducing characters of other races. People want to see people who look like them. In order for the characters to appear "like the audience", you are required to represent of all races.
