More reasons why I hate Marvel’s Inhumans

More reasons why I hate Marvel’s Inhumans * Karnak and his new girlfriend have been making love in her tent. Bad Guy is furiously jealous. He sits outside the tent loading his gun for hours. He doesn’t shoot them while they are in the tent and he’s sure of hitting them, possibly in the act. No, he waits for them to come out, misses, and of course they get away. * Karnak’s girlfriend is wounded during their escape. They run away through the woods. At one point, she collapses to the ground, unable to go any further. Cut to commercial.

But he got his butt kicked in his only actual battle, and by one of the soldiers that he himself trained.
