I want to be upfront and say that I've really never had much of an interest in the Inhumans. I do think some of the characters can be cool at times (like Karnak and Maximus), and I do like Ms Marvel and Moon Girl, though the least interesting thing about those characters is "They happen to be Inhumans." But on a whole, I mostly skip reading comics featuring the Inhumans. I even stopped watching Agents of SHIELD when it becomes "All Inhumans, All the time." They just are a pale substitute for mutants, to me. Been a huge X-Men fan since I started reading comics more than 25 years ago, and the Inhumans will just never replace them for me as a reader or watcher of superhero movies/TV shows.

All that said, I think they did an admirable job here making the characters look and feel like their comic book counterparts. Maximus, Medusa, and Lockjaw were particularly really well done here. And on a whole, it was a solid trailer, though it's not likely to get me to go out to the IMAX to check it out, or even to watch it on ABC.
