Earlier today I wrote a short piece about what I saw as the perfection of the ending of the first arc of Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur. How it ties everything together, the Inhumans, the terrigenesis, the fear of change, into a perfect emotional visual scene.

One of the writers, Brandon Montclare seemed to like that.

And, answering my queries about how that was all set up, told us that in Inhuman nature of Moon Girl wasn't originally there, indeed as a creative team they fought against its inclusion – which is why Moon Girl fights against it as well.

@richjohnston But that ending has a long story behind it. I don't want to say the Inhuman angle was 'forced' on us, but kinda sorta…

Though he did want to clarify it a little…

@richjohnston Only if you underline that that was just a small part. In truth, the Inhuman angle became very interesting, creatively…

@richjohnston …as I think the story proved (and what your review appreciated). It evolved nicely, where we'd now miss it if it were gone.
