Anson Mount’s Black Bolt Deserved Better—Here’s Why He Shined Anyway (Powered by Avonetics.com)

from Cryptic Clues · host Cryptic Clues

Anson Mount’s magnetic performance as Black Bolt in *Inhumans* was a rare bright spot in an otherwise lackluster show. Despite the series’ low budget, questionable creative choices (like having Black Bolt communicate in a fictional sign language), and overall critical panning, Mount’s portrayal stood out as a testament to his undeniable talent. Fans on Avonetics agree that his work in *Star Trek: Strange New Worlds* and *Hell on Wheels* only proves how underutilized he was in *Inhumans*. Could a better production have saved the Inhumans? We’ll never know—but one thing’s clear: Mount’s Black Bolt deserved a bigger stage. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
