Ror posted:They could have milked most of the scenarios for a lot more character drama but instead it seemed like there was always a need to ratchet up the stakes and throw in more twists and move on to newfound exposition. This is because the writers were actively writing against each other. One guy would introduce a neat idea/character, then the next writer would drop it or run the character into the ground or have it killed. The writers' room for Heroes was apparently toxic as hell.

They should just bring back Kristen Bell's character and have her run the show and form a private investigation business that investigates heroic stuff.

Even the best action clips look lovely. Someone jumps onto a car! Noah Bennet awkwardly exits an elevator! A sword strike leads to a backflip!

The two things I got from what were; the music from the original series was brilliant and so distinctive, and I'm totally down for another cheesy supernatural melodrama now that Sense8 has clicked for me. Just bring back Brea Grant, obviously.

I like that they're bringing back badass ninja future Hiro, hopefully it's not just a cop out or tease. (It will be, of course)

Deakul posted:Man, I haven't watched the show in so many years you can't expect me to remember such trivial details, gosh. The first season is so weird in how divorced it is from the later seasons. People forget that Stana Katic had a pretty decent couple of episodes where she basically had the same power as Myka only to get bumped off/turned into Neo in a comic offscreen. Bob/Tobolowsky from the second season had a completely understated role in part because the clusterfuck of writing caused him to do reshoot after reshoot and also because he was recovering from a broken neck. It's why his death scene was so boring, he literally could not move his head without a risk of paralysis. Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Jun 29, 2015 |

Two Heroes Reborn video games are being released to coincide with the show's premiere. They will serve as prequels to the series, filling in at least some of the 5 year gap in time between the last season of regular Heroes and the new show. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/07/08/2-heroes-reborn-games-will-act-as-prequels-to-the-show?abthid=559d8c1dbf3066b00f00000b

I'm still not going to be fooled into thinking this is going to be good after being led astray so many times by the same people, but that being said this does look many times better than anything we saw in the old series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FLHB2zB_cA

The support group killer guy already looks insultingly boring. He's so clearly just them trying to reproduce the Sylar dynamic with a "powered serial killer who targets powered people!" character.

So how much better does it actually look as opposed to how much better it seems with that super dramatic music overlaid on all of it? I do genuinely like the idea of a show about powered people being hunted and how they react. Hell, it's X-Men in a nutshell. Pity it has to be this show that's doing it. Also, with all the people coming back, I'm wondering if we'll ever see Peter's girlfriend who he abandoned in a dead future. Also also - isn't Mohinder a spider person now who webs people up and eats them?

No, he got cured by the Catalyst from Hiro's mom which was the ingredient needed to perfect the power formula and also I remember way more about this show than any person ever should.

I know TVIV loves nothing more than post endlessly about bad shows rather than actually watch or discuss good shows but the trailers coming out for this are at worst kind of bland and inoffensive, and show some actual promise. Also season 4 was absolutely better than 2 and 3. As goofy as season 4 was, it was actually a proper "comic book story" with T-Bag as Dirt Magneto. Season 3 was so bad that Robert Forrester couldn't even redeem it.

He's not wrong. The part where they stop Samuel from murdering a bunch of people/revealing powered people to the world so Claire can reveal powered people to the world by murdering herself and getting back up again on live TV was pretty funny.

Golden Bee posted:Let's give it up for bland! I mean, if the 90 seconds they hype us with are boring, the entire season has to be great! That's how trailers work! I didn't say this will be a great, or even a good, show. I just said the trailers are actually quite promising, especially given what they have to work with (Mohinder returning, e.g.) People might not give TVIV so much poo poo if there were any middle ground between "this show gave me orgasms. plural" and "this show gave me cancers. plural".
