anzilaWell, to start off I'll post my thoughts on a certain TV show that I formulated on the way home because heck, why not?
So, as none of you may know, I haven't actually watched Heroes since the middle of Season 3 when the show became entirely about "How do we keep Sylar relevant?" Yes, this is probably a harsh judgment, but you already read these are my opinions, and since this isn't politics or anything I don't really care. Moving on.
Recently I was curious about what had been happening, so I went on TV Tropes to get a general idea. There, I found out many things, but the one that stuck out the most was what has been happening in the online graphic novel. Apparently one of the latest story lines was set during season 4, and chronicles the adventures of Micah and a group of other heroes as they battle against the government organization that's been rounding up people with abilities. Basically, it is about a team of people, who do genuinely heroic things while still being complex and multifaceted, use their powers intelligently, and are highly effective.
WHY THE EVER FLIPPING FUCK WAS THIS STORYLINE NOT USED FOR THE ACTUAL SHOW?
I mean, come on, it has interesting characters, both new and old (Including Molly, AND CLAUDE!), and exciting and interesting plot that hasn't been done to death, and I actually like the people involved. I mean, it makes West badass....WEST, the guy I wanted to punch in the face five minutes after meeting him. Gee golly gosh, there's no way that would be more interesting to watch than another round of What Amoral and/or Idiotic thing will our main characters do today? Sorry Heroes' writers, but there comes a point where stupidity and assholishness stop being entertaining.
I mean, realistically I do realize that getting the actors and special effects for this plot line might be infeasible, but come ON! If you can write something this good for the damn comic, at least come up with something close for the show! I know people have said the 5th season is better, but I've heard that tune before, and as long as the writes basically make the whole work revolve around Sylar being alive, I just can't care. Seriously, he stopped being interesting after Season 1, and no retcons do not could as character development if they completely contradict what's happened before, and are forgotten equally as quickly.
Ah whatever, I don't care much, but it's been a while since I wrote on fandom things and this was fun. Micah is officially the best Hero ever.
And now for I've got a date and then to write a big monster tag for the Intrepid plot where I have Harry do something epic and quite probably absurd. Hopefully it won't annoy anyone >.> (Why yes, I have insecurities to)
