Inhumans Director Said Marvel Wanted The Series To Be Made Quickly And Cheaply

Ever since Marvel Studios decided to scrap the Inhumans movie in favor of a TV series, a lot of fans have been discussing about the supposed drop in quality for the Inhumans. As it turns out, Marvel didn't seem to have that much faith in the Inhumans as they were said to skimp in the quality of the show, favoring something that was made fast and cheap.

In an interview with CNet, director Roel Reine revealed:

"I think they liked me for the job because I was able with my action movies to shoot in a very short time, or with very low budgets, action that looks like a big-budget movie."

The schedule was super-tight. I had TV schedule time to shoot it with IMAX cameras, 20 days to shoot two episodes. It's nerve-wracking but I come from a low-budget film world, so 20 days for me is luxury,"

Reine goes on to talk about about the Marvel TV executives and how protective they were of the story making sense in the universe. He continues:

"There was always a Marvel executive around me, just to make sure that whatever I did, or whatever we did together, would tie in with other characters in other universes, in other comics, in other series or movies… They're very protective. These people are very passionate about their product and about characters and about doing the best version of everything."

That certainly dampens a lot of hopes for the release of the Inhumans, but hopefully the series is still able to make things work. A lot of buzz had been going around the series, but the moment fans got a first look, it was nothing but negative reactions to how cheap the CGI looked and how choreographed the action felt.

Every hardcore Marvel fan will know that there is a fine difference in quality when it comes to Marvel movies and Marvel TV shows, but it's best we just stay positive until we actually get to see the first episode of Inhumans.

Inhumans comes out IMAX Sept. 1 and the series premieres on ABC Sept. 29.
