It’s easy to think Marvel can do no wrong but sometimes it can pull an Iron Fist-sized misstep or, even worse in the case of Marvel's new TV show Inhumans, make each super-powered character look like “stupid cosplay”. Not my words, it’s the internet’s - and, let me tell you, hell hath no fury like an internet scorned.

Entertainment Weekly revealed the first shot from Inhumans which looks, let’s face it, pretty meh. At least everyone reacted in a calm and sensible fashion… Except, social media isn’t the place for nuanced discussion and went to town with how unimpressive it all looked. Remember, people, first impressions are important.

i love medusa but she looks like she bought her wig at the dollar store in the inhumans tv show i'm-May 5, 2017

That #Inhumans pic is so hilariously awful. It's so bad that I was instantly reminded of that terrible 1980's Munsters tv show revival... pic.twitter.com/ruSdADmtmUMay 4, 2017

They. Look. So. Bad. https://t.co/BYaM0lijJoMay 4, 2017

I'm sorry, the inhumans look awful. These costumes are looking more like real everyday outfits mixed with stupid cosplay. Medusa looks trashMay 4, 2017

Even The Costumes in the Failed Justice League Pilot look Better than the Inhumans costumes pic.twitter.com/otv6bapVwbMay 4, 2017

Expectations vs. Reality #Inhumans pic.twitter.com/VPrUYlEUeMMay 4, 2017

Wow....the Inhumans costumes look awful. It looks like bad cosplay. So disappointing....😠May 4, 2017

The most laughable part about this is that Inhumans was going to be a big budget blockbuster from Marvel now it looks like a CW showMay 4, 2017

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
