My Big Heroes Rant (season 3 With Spoilers) - Page 2

Mad Jack the Pirate · 10-14-2008, 04:33 PM

I fell out of heroes 3/4ths of the way through season one, because I missed too many episodes and it made me feel like I'd be utterly lost if I tried to watch it.

thanks for making me not feel as bad about leaving it!

Thank you, Tim Kring, for making me hate Hiro. Jerk. :stressed:

I'm just gonna pretend that Hiro never stabbed Ando, and that the show actually ended with black hole guy's power going out of control when he sucked himself up and ultimately destroying the world.

Not gonna lie, when he sucked himself into a whole, I was actually sad. THEY CAN DO THINGS RIGHT

**Satan's Onion** · 10-14-2008, 11:53 PM

You know what the sad thing is? I'm probably gonna feel like I have to keep up with this show, because I can't stand leaving a story or something half-read or unfinished. (It's the only reason I stuck with the first series of New Who after "Father's Day".) So I keep on watching, knowing damn well I'm watching crap where Mohinder's a psychopath/the new Glue Man, Peter's the new Sylar and Sylar's not much of anybody anymore, most of the good people are evil now for no particularly good reason, most of the new super-duper-evil OMG people who were built up for so fucking long are goddamned redshirts, and Hiro's character has been taken out behind the woodshed and violently beaten and sodomized with a splintery broomstick. And I liked Hiro and Ando. Their storylines were the yummy ice cream after the heavy, meaty, sometimes unpalatable main courses of the others. Crapfuck.

(Also, on thought, I can't remember a single major/powered female character that doesn't kind of suck--their powers are either passive (Claire, Mrs. Petrelli), uncontrollable/tied to their emotions and almost never get to control them for the plot's sake (Nikkiclone, Maya--after all, even Hiro gets to have some control now), or they're Just Plain Bad People Who Are Irredeemably Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad and Evil (Speedster, what'sherbutt with the electricity powers). The girl with the memory power was kind of neato, but I assume she's dead now or something because we haven't seen her yet and I suspect we never will because hey, she might have been interesting). Double crapfuck.

Sounds like it's really no different than any old long-running superhero comic book.

Mirai Gen · 10-15-2008, 02:01 AM

Which is dumb because they had the original idea of having an ever-shifting cast and decided, hey, let's fall for the exact same problem superhero comic books already fall for!

Yes, I know. But that to me doesn't justify it. We are talking about a huge personal vendetta THAT LASTED FOR OVER 400 YEARS!!! So he just thinks "Well, I guess I can let it slide this one time, since I can now escape."

The whole thing seems really stupid to me. They're just going through everything the simple way, writing stuff that doesn't make sense in the context. It's just for the sake of the plot.

Bridget Bailey? She appeared and got ate by Sylar

Also Osterbaum Adam has a lot of time to burn why would he not wait for an opportune moment?

Osterbaum · 10-15-2008, 05:59 AM

I can see the logic in that, naturally.

But didn't he say something along the lines "I'll haunt you forever until I kill you dead motherfuckerbitch!?!?!" or whatever in season 2. And then he's been with that anger for 400 years, obviosly it hasn't lessened much since he pretty much wanted Hiro (and the whole friggin planet!) dead later in the future too.

And now he spends a month in a coffin and he's changed like this suddenly? You'd expect him to get even angrier!

"Even I told them to destroy it." So what, he's cool with killing everyone with a disease, but not with having everyone die by blowing the planet up with their powers? Some criminal mastermind he's supposed to be.

Sure, he'd want out of the coffin. But I would've expected him to really try kill Hiro once he got out.

I think it's stupid. But this is matter of opinion.
