Tiggum posted:In fact, why are they calling this new show Heroes? Why not just say "Hey, it's a new super hero show, and we've got that one guy people actually liked from Heroes back to play a similar character." AFAIK its not actually a new series and is just a mini.

The thing I never liked about Heroes was the reveal that people have had superpowers throughout history but nobody knows about it because for some reason every single time someone gets powers they hide them. It worked a lot better back in the beginning of the first season when they let you think it was a new thing. Remember how the characters all got their powers from the eclipse, except they didn't and some had them all along? Then in a later season everyone lost their powers during another eclipse? And how neither event was every explained at all? Or the broken helix symbol that showed up everywhere in the first season that they also never really explained, other than it was the logo of a company that Papa Petrelli ran.

A big problem was the various writers not working together/actively working against each other. Like how for a season Parkman left his wife to shack up with another powered person but then someone else comes along, kills her off and writes him getting back together with his wife. Or the abortive Claire as nerd fantasy, with a nerd boyfriend and working at a comic shop, another plotline that was quickly dropped.

Hiro's powers would be fine if he was the main character that the show followed around all the time. Then you could do stuff like turn him into a Dr Who knock off. Or they could have had Hiro address the audience through Ando by explaining that yes, his powers could solve most problems but life comes through struggle and trying, not just fixing everything instantly. They could have done an episode at the end of a season revealing that Hiro has actually been working in the background, letting people fix their own problems but correcting things if they got too bad, basically acting like a safety net.

I think the big problem with the constant prophecies was they were just too close to the "present" so the show ended up running into a lot of the dates they set for the future but there was no way that that future could have happened.

Chairman Capone posted:I was just thinking the other day about how popular Masi Oka got thanks to Heroes (mainly season one) and then just had his career completely dry up once the show vanished. At least Sylar and Hayden Panetierre were able to springboard from Heroes. Isn't he actually a special effects artist and the acting stuff just a side project for him?

To be fair, Masi Oka isn't really lead caliber.

How? They already showed that pretty much nothing can actually kill her. Maybe being burned to ash but other than that she'd just regenerate.

It is kind of goofy that it took this long for someone to come up with a name for people with powers.

AbstractNapper posted:So they are just continuing in the same universe, right? I mean, they dumped all but one (or few) from the old cast, and probably are going to have some guests later on, but this looks like the same garbage with a new cast, trying to fit in an explanation of why the old ones got wiped out. More people from the old cast are going to start trickling in over the series as Hiro and Parkman still need to show up.

precision posted:edit: thought Claire's Lesbian Roommate was kinda stupid, but not stupid like "let's use a great character actor for Sylar's dad and then have him appear in like two scenes ever and do nothing" He was originally going to be the big bad of that volume, until Fuller came back and reminded them that they had literally just got done with that plot with Papa Petrelli.

Blazing Ownager posted:Random related comic's question: Has there ever been a comic with the cliche of people suddenly getting powers for some purpose and have it turn out that these powers were in fact a curse, and everyone used them in terrible manners? Not a comic but Brandon Sanderson has a book series where people start getting superpowers out of nowhere and it turns them into complete dicks. The powered people conquer the world and carve it up into their little fiefdoms while the main character works for a resistance that fights back.

Something I thought was funny is that he somehow tied his hair in a ponytail between leaving the present and arriving in the past. Also my big question is did HRG and Hiro actually ever interact in the original series because I don't remember their paths crossing. Certainly not enough for the "old friend" treatment.
