Helstrom
Marvel Studios ' disinterest inHelstromdoomed the series ' prospects of success long before its spillage . While Hulu won acclaim for its earlier adaptations of Marvel Comics ' dour street - level heroes , trying to trade a serial without a connection to the MCU in a market full of display about supernatural detectives proved too hard a job .
Helstromwas based around two Marvel Comics anti - heroes;Satana Hellstrom and Daimon Hellstrom . Both the children of the Devil himself ( though they were later on retconned into being the children of a high - range demon ) , Satana sought to originate among the social rank of Hell while Daimon apply his demonic exponent to protect the ingenuous . The Hulu series turned both sibling into half - humans seeking to use their mightiness in the cause of good , cut Satana ’s name to Ana and removing one ' l ' from their surname in the comics .

Production onHelstrombegan in May 2019 , when Hulu reached a bargain with Marvel Studios to produce several springy - action series based on Marvel Comics ' horror properties , working through the Marvel Television yield party . However , when Marvel Television was absorbed into Marvel Studios later that year , most of the purpose series ( including aGhost Ridershow ) were suddenly cancelled . yield onHelstromcontinued , however , and the show finished filming in March 2020 . Yet the dubiousness of whether or notHelstromwould be consider a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the same way as earlier Marvel Television productions likeDaredevilandAgents of SHIELDwas not address until the workweek of the show ’s release .
When it was confirmed thatHelstromwas coif in its own realityindependent of the MCU and all of the new TV serial likeWandavisionandLokiand the show was released without the Marvel name or logo on it , it was a death sentence for the entrant serial . Ignoring the want of hybrid - promotion and attachment to a major brand with a sizeable fanbase , Helstromwas also hampered by a deficiency of distinction . Many of the things that made Satana and Daimon notable as characters in the funnies were removed inHelstrom , such as their being the children of the Devil . As a consequence , there was little to set Ana and Daimon Helstrom apart from the many other supernatural detective who currently have their own shows and many who watchedHelstromcomplained it was curiously bloodless and subdued for a show involving demons on a well out service - conceding apparently made to make the show a better fit for the Marvel Studios firebrand .
Helstromwas also hurt by a ostensibly unwillingness to amply commit to its concept . Changing the spelling of the main characters ' family name to avoid offending those who might be untune by the use of the Christian Bible ' infernal region ' and removing the fiendish heritage of the Helstrom siblings did trivial to pacify the same groups whoboycottedLuciferandGood Omensfor their depictions of noble demon . It also did nothing to attract fan of the original comics , who might otherwise have form a following around a more comics - precise show .
