Let it die, Tim. Let it die.

He already had a second try with Heroes Reborn, what makes you think this time will be any different?
I had no idea they made this, huh. Has a few actors I like too. Time to figure out where to watch!
Prepare for disappointment.
Yeah, and it was a generational plot too. Most of them had parents doing the same stuff 20 years ago. It wouldn’t be ridiculous to do it again 20 years later.
I think the worst part was cliffhangers, and modern streaming eliminates that. If they drop a season at a time, they don’t have to always have a giant plot point teasing next week’s episode.
It probably won’t be ground breaking TV again, but I’d watch it.
Oh, is that what happened to it? I remembered the first season being great and then just not liking what came after. That explains a lot.
Still, I’d rather not have it be resurrected. I’m sure there’s more ideas floating around that can be made.
A TV show centered around superheroes was a novel concept in 2006. In a post-Marvel vs DC world, not so much.
I mean, The Boys and Invincible is still pretty big and recent.
Both shows that deliberately subvert the Marvel formula.
Oh I don’t disagree, just pointing out that it’s not impossible. I’m not even holding out hope for this second reboot, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
1 awesome season, just let it be.
Everyone has superhero fatigue, seems like a great time to develop another superhero show!
The only show that peirces thru imo is The Boys.
Plot suffered from characters becoming too powerful without limit, getting painted into corners, and rules of their own universe being broken for dumb plot points at the last second. If they don’t put much better constraints into place, it’ll just suck.
I heard Season 2 was supposed to be a whole new cast and the network said no. So they ended up with over powered characters
That’s what I remember, it was supposed to be an anthology season, each one new stories of people gaining powers and leaning to use them. Then “save the cheerleader save the world” was so damn popular the exec’s wouldn’t let the characters go
I learned what “yata” in Japanese meant because of this show. Also, I remember NISSAN VERSA product placement, but everything else about this show got sucked out of my head like the Zachary Quinto character got to me.
Sylar just left people dead.
It was the Haitian that sucked your memories out
See what I mean? All my memories of this show are gone.
Sylar was able to extract other’s powers and use them himself. Most of his victims ended up dead, but later in the series we learn he can do it without killing.
I want to say he had to examine their brain and ‘how it worked’ because both he and his father were clock/watch repair men. That or I originally thought they implied that he had to eat the part of the brain to gain their power, though he does get strong enough later to not need to do any of that.
Save the cheerleader
Save the world
Going for the record of most flops?
Flops, what do you mean?
… Oh yikes he’s already done other Heroes shows lol
Oh nooo …
Is this the one with the cop who literally smells crime?
Ed: I’m wrong, he was a mind reader which is a bit less hokey
You’re thinking of Always Sunny. “And then he smells crime again, he’s out busting heads. Then he’s back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime. Back to the lab, full penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.”
No writer’s strike this time.
Don’t care. The magic is gone. People will piss on it regardless if they had something good
If I get more Hiro, I’m happy. I was so excited to see his 5 seconds in Bullet Train.
