Yes I'm aware of the odds. But here's my prediction:
Wanda, Pietro and Kamala will all be revealed mutants.
I actually think they didn't go far enough when they attempted to turn them into X-Men. The concept of Black Bolt spreading the Terrigen Mists around the world and turning random people into inhumans was clearly inspired by the Earth-X limited mini-series, but Earth-X went much father with it, by making the gas turn any human into a Inhuman. There was no inheritance or lost lineage, just a terrible event that changed everything, and really, that's the route they should have taken when they wanted the Inhumans as the New X-Men. Random people suddenly gaining mutations they never asked for, with no hidden ancestral lineage or ties to the old Inhumans aside from their origins in the mists. Unlike Earth-X, obviously they'd be a minority which then could be persecuted and basically become the same thing as the mutants.
Rather than that, they had people welcoming the Terrigen mists and their Inhuman lineage, which basically made them unable to really take the X-Men's role.
There is zero chance that they reveal Kamala is a mutant. Zero.
The hell is she doing with them...she could be an Avenger, or at LEAST join Alpha Flight probably.
:p
Those last episodes Scott Buck couldn't even be bothered to pretend that he cared to do some work.
To play devil's avocado though -
Marvel: Well we got the X-Men back, now we have to get rid of the Inhumans
Donny Cates: Hey I have a pretty dope idea on how to do that
Marvel: Go right ahead
Honestly don't expect this to be a real end of anything. A lot of the new inhumans were met with meh receptions but the royal family itself is still pretty well loved in the way that they've always been; A set of guest characters who act as a measuring stick for a newly introduced villain's power (YO, THAT DUDE HEARD BLACK BOLT AND LIVED!), On-again / off-again relationships (Crystal's whole history), Deus ex machinas (Lockjaw), And a select few new inhumans really resonated like Kamala and Lunella (and a couple good c-listers like Reader will probably show up again).
I expect this to maybe just be them wiping out the like 3 different inhuman communities that have popped up after Attilan fell that no one can remember, if that. Even if some stop getting dedicated books, most of them only enrich the universe by being in it. I do expect the Maximoff twins to go back to their regular origins though. That was some real pro wrestling 'ladder match for custody of your child' type shit.

I mean this guy:
He was the protag of at least the first arc of Inhuman, and while I liked what I read of the book, I never cared much for him.
I don't know anyuthing about Kamala, but as soon as the Fox deal was being talked about I though they'd reveal Wanda and Pietro as mutants, with the stress of the Hydra "improvements" activating their mutant genes. Or maybe they'll just leave it as is.
What even are Inhumans? I've only read Ms. Marvel and know that Black Bolt's name is Blackagar Boltagon which seems very dumb.
Okay, so I've never sit through this show for obvious reasons (like how Black Bolt here looks like an Inhumans teenage fanboy about to start his own boyband), but...this scene kind of seems freakin' awesome from what I'm gathering in this thread.
His family admit to murdering and manipulation of some kind and Bolt's "THE FUCK MAN?" literally send them flying.
Will they have Wanda undo the spell that severed their blood relation to Magneto? (Yes, they honestly did that in the comics due to the film right overlap between Fox and Marvel for those characters).
Look up the scene on YouTube, it's literally just Black Bolt saying "Why" in the most underwhelming way possible.
Looked it up, everyone outside of flashback is shit, but I do like the scene.
That wall is too clean though for two bodies to have mashed into it and die.

I'm pretty sure they don't from what I can recall. He literally just says "WHY?!?!" and its never explained.
That's the first thing I thought of too.
They pushed the Inhumans as a replacement for the X-Men but, between the television show being cancelled before it even aired and Marvel getting the rights back for the X-Men, now they've clearly changed their minds.
OP
OP
Yes please, might explain why it's hated. Knowing nothing is really confessed though kind of shifts my view to "oh I guess I get it now".
Comics are so fucking stupid.
How people can tolerate a medium that constantly goes back on its major twists and revelations is beyond me.
So spoilers for Inhumans.
Black Bolt is looking at an order from the Genetic Council where they are advising his parents on how to handle him. The council recommends brain surgery to fix him. The letter has the Royal seal of approval on it so Black Bolt thinks his parents ok'd it. In reality it was Maxius trying to get Black Bolt to leave so he could get the throne.
Marvel has absolutely no creative direction at all it's both laughable and sad. Beholden to whims and popular demand to change course every six months, no consistency, just a hot mess of fuck everywhere.
You know I was just wondering, Marvel internally must have known about the fox deals way before it was publicly announced, maybe this is why they de-hyped the Inhumans show did everything they could to release it silently and let it bomb.
The run up to Secret Wars and the culmination was so good.
Let the X-Men reign over the Inhumans (I don't hate the characters, just the push they received over the mutants because of the Fox ban)
