Black Bolt, on the other hand, is something else entirely.
In fact, it sounds like you could say hes the exact genetic opposite of Maximus.
This is what Declan relays to his patron, who of course turns out to be Maximus.
I must say, four episodes in, Maximus remains the most compelling character on this entire show.
Although he professes loyalty now, Maximus rightfully wonders how long that might last.
For some reason, this entire scene is filmed at a canted angle.
He now demands that his old friend prove his loyalty.
Lo and behold, the friend comes through.
I mean, if youre gonna have a revolution, you have to go for the jugular.
Props where theyre due to Maximus at least he has understandable motivations and acts on them in interesting ways.
And now shes found herself surrounded by people who actuallyliveon the moon.
Most of the other Inhumans spend this episode spinning their wheels.
They immediately run into Auran and her crew.
Its one of the biggest self-owns Ive seen in some time.
It wouldve been much better if Mordis and Black Bolt had actually pitted their powers against each other.
Mordis seems like a total chump too.
Who would be threatened by him at this point?
All hes done is make some surface-level sarcasms and brutally wreck himself for no reason.
Thank god, because these human characters are really not doing it for me.
