![r/DCcomics - [INTERVIEW] Mark Waid talks endings, legacies in ‘Batman / Superman: World’s Finest’ #24](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/V8WIb62s_fhXfo6JsjmGU4JzBo8Qi9oAkcrHK605ylI.jpg)
I would say some things should just be left alone, but the last few years have proved that nothing is safe.
That said, if they can even touch the level of quality from S1 Heroes, then it'll do fine.
Season 1, but with both of the brothers and Syler dying, would've been a perfect season of tv.
Syler was a truly terrifying character, then they had the alternate reality episode where he baked Peter cookies, and I could no longer find the character remotely intimidating.
Him and Peter were just too powerful to keep alive. Peter not being the hero, but forced into the role of unwilling villain, only for his asshole of a big brother that previously claimed "flight" couldn't save the world sacrificing himself so that Peter wouldn't die alone or kill anyone innocent was a beautiful ending to their character arcs.
Sylar being killed by Hiro, with Hiro before Hiro could fully control his power, gave Hiro his hero moment while also being able to write him out of the next season.
The cop and the super family should've been the only characters to carry over into the next season.
HRG could've had a few scenes with Claire, and Mohinder could deliver some exposition in an episode, but season 2 should've been a mostly new cast with an unrelated story.
I rewatched season 1 with my wife (she had never seen it) and then said and it’s best to just pretend the show ends right here, your imagination of what happened to Sylar, Nate, and Peter will be as good if not better than the rest of it
That and Heroes worked in a world where we didn’t have a million different live action superhero shows and films to watch.
Heroes basically did X-Men and most of the interesting characters and actors wouldn’t come back for it. So why bother?
To do what they planned originally, an anthology series
Heroes was a victim of its own success. People loved the characters so much there was no way the studio was going to let them start from scratch on season 2.
Also victim of a writer's strike
Money and creative bankruptcy
Seasons 2-4 and the last attempt to reboot the shows says it probably won't.
I imagine with the advances in CGI and the fact it’s all 10 episode seasons now the story can be served a lot better. I know some people are not into the 10 episode thing, but for a lot of shows it works.
This is going to go down in history as the only show to be both too early and too late to a fad!
So… Tim Kring checked out the eclipse.
Never trusting this guy again after the first season finale. Heroes had potential, but it ended up being the biggest waste of time ever.
Seriously, between the website and comics, it seemed like they had a plan, but no no they didn't.
I thought the network made the writers scrap the original plan to start season 2 with a whole new cast?
They already tried this reboot like 9 years ago. Kring is a terrible writer and he ran Heroes into the ground hard the first two times around. Why would anyone want to watch him do it for a third time?
Between killing Claire of all people in a hackneyed attempt at undoing her accomplishments and the b-plot being a shitty gamer's wet dream, I couldn't bother to continue beyond episode 1 of the revival. How much worse did it get?
Yeah I only got a minute in before I knew it was not good and stopped watching that crap
Was it that long ago?????
Yeah that comment made me feel old lol
Did they already do this and it sucked?
Yes, it did. And it's a shame because there was potential in there.
It didn't suck, it was just meh. Season 1 was something special and you can't recapture that.
Hardly going to be any different if the same brain is in charge. Let someone else cook... like, someone with talent and inteligence.
Also, where did he come from with this? Did he just watch the eclipse and got a brillant idea, kinda identical to the idea he had before?
And they didn't announce this on Monday during the eclipse, why?
Yep, that’ll solve superhero fatigue.
Why?
Lmao
Don't mean a thing if you ain't got that Kring!
I was just talking about this show and how it's quality just dropped off so damn quickly. Like they were building the plane as they were flying it, and then they ran out of parts.
If this goes ahead, I'm really excited for it providing they have a roadmap for it.
His name is sylar
No after season 1 it was all downhill from there
Didn't they do this already like 2 years ago?
9
What's next? LOST?
It'll be a sequel where it turns out they were actually all on an alien spaceship and it'll be called FOUND
Hopefully it doesn't turn into an everyone is related soap opera again. Lmao
I'd be game for a reboot if Tim Kring wasn't involved. Season 1 worked in spite of him, everything else he's ever done has been horrible. To this day I can't wrap my head around the logic of the abrupt ending they wrote in for season 2 that absolutely destroyed the entire story and made watching it pointless.
Heroes came at a pre-MCU era. Where there really wasn't much like it. Season 2 plus earned alot of ill will from fans. In today's market I don't see it capturing a big audience.
Big no thanks. It wasn't good the first time or the second time.
Well I’m excited to hear this. Didn’t think that would be a hot take.
Honestly feels like something that should (if anything) be rebooted. A good idea, that had flashes but burned out quickly.
They made Sylar way too powerful in season 1. Should have saved the face off for a few seasons after that.
How should I feel about this guys
