Yeah, I don't think you can separate Loki's story from Thor's, and they certainly aren't going to move Hemsworth back to the small screen any time soon. I know Loki has a cult fanbase, and more Hiddleston is always a good thing, but I just can't see coming up with a whole new set of story threads and characters tied to Loki but *not* featuring the almost necessary tie-ins to Thor, Odin, Frigga, and Heimdall. And again, that's highly unlikely that you could recruit Hemsworth, Hopkins, Russo, and/or Elba for that.
This is my fear too - I think Loki works best as a foil to Thor & to remove the God of Thunder will really strip away some of the best options. There's only two scenarios I see working for a Loki mini-series without Thor & his parents:
1) The mini-series focuses on the time in between Thor & The Avengers where he was thought to be lost - then you could really delve into his psyche and meetings with darker entities.
2) Depending on the events in T:TDW, maybe Loki escapes Asgardian custody & the protagonists become Sif & the Warriors Three as they hunt down Loki.
Still, I think Loki needs Thor as a foil more than Thor needs Loki in every movie. So while Hiddleston has done a magnificent job with the character, I think a Loki mini-series will have its challenges.
I think Inhumans has already been locked for a movie.
Also I don't see where the Game of Thrones comparisons are coming from with Inhumans.
Like you Mr. Dent, I'd imagine Marvel is saving Inhumans for a movie and that has a chance to be something unique in the MCU. I think the Game of Thrones analogies are coming from the storylines where Maximus attempts to dethrone Black Bolt - more of the "royal family unrest" type storylines some associate with GOT.
If it were my choice for three continuing series and one mini-series (I'll exclude Agent Carter here since it seems like that one's been talked about previously), I'd go for these:
1) Daredevil - I feel like Daredevil could work extremely well on a channel like A&E or AMC as a hybrid courtroom/vigilante by night show. I'm thinking the best parallel would be Arrow, especially when it comes to the balance of his superhero & civilian personas.
2) Punisher - This is the one that might be best in a place like Netflix/HBO/Showtime, where it's not as restricted. I don't think that it needs to have tons of blood & profanity to be true to the character, but it is certainly a part that would lose a little of it's impact & uniqueness in a multi-media approach if it were watered down.
3) Runaways - Here's a series that would fit well on ABC Family, rounding out their programming just a little bit more.
4) BW & Hawkeye mini-series - Here's the chance for Marvel to really do a "television event." Especially if Renner & Johansson are attached, it would be an extension of the movie franchise & allow them to use the medium a little differently.
Having those four properties would be a good balance IMO - while I think Heroes for Hire would work great on TV, I do think that Marvel may have bigger plans for guys like Luke Cage & Danny Rand. Immortal Iron Fist deserves to be a movie in my opinion, since there's so many opportunities for great visuals within that comic run. Plus, having Cage & Iron Fist solo properties could merge them into a Heroes for Hire movie that also includes their supporting casts. It'd be a way to bridge between the Avengers franchises and whatever Marvel wants to do next with those characters.
