This couldn’t have been the response that the “Marvel’s Inhumans” team was hoping to get after its latest promotion.
Marvel Entertainment’s Twitter account posted an image today of Funko’s Pop! Vinyl toy collection for the embattled ABC series, leading to a litany of fan messages criticizing the show and showrunner, Scott Buck.
“Better get those out quick. I don’t really see this show lasting beyond its current run, which it’s already halfway through,” one person quipped.
“Hopefully once they fire Scott Buck and hire a new showrunner Season 2 has some potential,” another viewer said.
Yet another user succinctly asked, “That’s still on?”
“Marvel’s Inhumans,” which stars Serinda Swan (Medusa), Anson Mount (Black Bolt) and Iwan Rheon (Maximus), was termed a “work in progress” by ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey during a press event in August.
The show currently holds an eight percent freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been criticized by fans since trailers dropped this summer.
The tweets are below. And yes, “Inhumans” still airs Fridays at 9 p.m on ABC.
All hail your new king. Collect the @OriginalFunko Pop! Vinyl #Inhumans characters + don't miss "Marvel's Inhumans" at 9/8c tonight on ABC! pic.twitter.com/l0ux6sze6I
