Reiné told the Independent that the showrunners and himself realized that they had to differentiate the two Marvel properties.
The key way that the Inhumans are different from the X-Men is that the Inhumans have their own little society separated from humanity, while the X-Men are basically stuck with us.
Skewing away from a more traditional premiere, Inhumans debuted its first two episodes on IMAX this weekend, before hitting ABC for everyone to watch later this month. Roel Reiné, whose credits include Admiral and Black Sails, directed the first two episodes of the series, and he’s well aware of the similarity his characters share with the more popular X-Men.
