Talk:Inhumans (TV series)

not the first full CG TV character?

From the cast section of the article:

Crystal's 2,000-pound (910 kg) teleporting canine companion Lockjaw also appears in the series, created through CGI. Reiné stated that "nobody has done a full CG character on a TV series before. So Lockjaw is the first. It's a big responsibility for all of us."

Reiné said what he said, and the article cites a source for him saying it. Should the article point out that he's wrong? Imaginary Mary springs to mind as a full CG character on a TV series before. (So does Zippo from Dinotopia, but maybe a miniseries doesn't count as a TV series. And i assume we're excluding fully CG shows like Star Wars Rebels from comparison.)

We would need a reliable source pointing out the perceived incorrectness, and stating what other character could be fully CGI. Otherwise, adding anything would be our WP:OR. We know Reine means a character in a live-action series that is CGI, but we don't know if he meant in hour-long series, dramas, etc. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:37, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps a solution would be to not include the quote for now? ZarhanFastfire (talk) 07:03, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

A live action 30 minute long show that ran from September 1, 1987 to March 27, 1988 called Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future had the first CG character on it named Soaron. A second CG character was added in the 2nd half of the season named Blastaar. I know this because not only did I watch the show but I also own it on dvd. sg1fanatic9 (talk) 21:12, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

We still need a reliable source because we cannot use original research. - DinoSlider (talk) 18:38, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm going to just cite the show and remove that part of the quote.71.89.84.120 (talk) 02:25, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

That's not how to go about this. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:19, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

DVR

The table listing the number of viewers 18-49 has a column labeled DVR which is short for digital video recorder. It is available electronically for streaming, the streaming may be captured on a PC, a smart TV, or even a DVR. I'm pretty sure this (awful) show isn't available on a pre-recorded media (which is what DVRs play, at least it's the main function of such devices). I suggest that if the column is intended to indicate the number of digital "views", that a different and better header be employed. (Like "streaming" for example)173.184.22.54 (talk) 13:50, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

The table is displayed through a template used throughout the Television WikiProject; the template cannot be modified through this article, so you'd need to start this discussion at the template's talk page. -- Alex^TW 14:07, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

That would be inaccurate. The numbers are provided by Nielsen who measure the Live + SD + 3 + 7 + 30 day numbers from their sample size. If you're not a part of this system your viewing isn't tracked or reported by anyone. Nothing needs to be changed on the table because everything is reported as it should be. It might help if you educate yourself on how this system works. 82.15.11.92 (talk) 00:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

@173.184.22.54: It seems like you have a misunderstanding of what DVRs do and how they work. -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 23:06, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you

...to the dedicated editors of this page. I generally have low expectations that WP policies will be followed consistently and thoroughly at entertainment-related sites (in particular that information will be fully drawn from published sources, and that care will be taken so the source entries are understandable and traceable, allowing verification to be done. This article appears to be exceptional, and I am very glad to find it, to benefit from it (in deciding on family viewing), and to thank all involved for the hard work of maintaining an encyclopedic article here. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:C700:2DB2:6C51:845:F3A9:884E (talk) 18:34, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Protected edit request on 27 October 2023

The addition of the paragraph following the one you’re presently reading at the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins section. A user should NOT be allowed to block a well-sourced and relevant edit because he wants to SYNTH it. Note that he is not suggesting that it is not relevant nor that it’s untrue. He’s suggesting that the edit should go through him first so he can synthesize Feige’s words with outside sources.

In the book The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline, which was published by DK in collaboration with Marvel Studios, described by Kevin Feige as "the history of the MCU unraveled from end to end", Inhumans was omitted along with other Marvel Television productions. In a foreward, Feige stated that these projects are "canonical to Marvel" in a multiversal capacity with the potential of crossing over with future MCU projects.

 Not done as clearly not uncontroversial given the several reversions of it already and pending the discussions at WT:MCU and Talk:Marvel Cinematic Universe. Trying to bypass the standard discussion process to get your way is unconstructive. Trailblazer101 (talk) 06:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

I think it should be a very different party that’s not you deciding that because I have serious concerns about your exhibitions of ownership behaviors. I was under the impression this request would go to an objective party such as an admin. ChimaFan12 (talk) 03:02, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

There is no consensus to cherry-pick past Marvel productions that are not explicitly mentioned by the actual foreword quote. This is borderline WP:SYNTH. There is consensus at WT:MCU to include this statement on other pages in an appropriate manner. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:29, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

There is not consensus and the version you have produced is contested. Further, it’s not synth to go to all the pages which have MCU tie-ins sections, including Runaways, Cloak and Dagger, the individual Netflix and ABC series, and correctly point out that these stories are not included in the timeline book and that Feige says that projects from other storytellers which are omitted are not considered part of the MCU. It’s been clear to me through interactions with the taskforce that anything which suggests these series aren’t part of the MCU as of 2023, even Feige’s own words, is looked down upon in favor of a narrative which can mislead people, including only perspectives that state the shows are part of the MCU.. Feige’s quote is relevant to each of these shows. ChimaFan12 (talk) 22:04, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Primary sources I'm backing off from adding any version of this edit to any page. ChimaFan12 (talk) 03:29, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
