Well actually I'd like to write a long criticism post about this series, but I'm just too lazy to do that.
*Spoilers ahead*First of all, last week's episode kinda ticks me off. How can it be possible for someone to survive a fall, from 7 floor above the ground level, without even dying? It's pretty dumb as from my personal opinion, they just want to do a few things:
- First, they want to show how easily influenced Sylar is by the arch villain, Mr. Petrelli.
- Then, they want Peter to shows up and stirs up the scene.
- They'd like to create a dramatic scene by making Peter being "telekinetically" thrown out of the windows.
- As for the ending part, they want us to ponder whether Sylar wants to help assisting the bad guys or not with a few simple dialogue.
Mr Peterilli: How do you suppose Peter survives that fall? Seven storeys without the ability to heal. Sylar (or Gabriel Gray):
*shrugs* I don't know.OMG, that's pretty lame to me.
Is that not enough to change your opinion? Okay, let's get to the next point.
First of all, Peter, the main character of the series, time-travelled to the future and learned Sylar's ability to know "how things work" in order to allow him to "save the world". I don't understand the logic behind this (as I see Peter's ability is more superior as compared to Sylar), but that's okay. Maybe they're trying to be dramatic by making the main protagonist to have the "hunger". And to make the matter worse, now I've figured out (from some spoilers web) that Peter's ability works the exactly same way as Sylar. Since the both of them are twins, they have the
SAME ability.
Quote from the spoiler web:
"New Info on Sylar's ability: We will find out in an upcoming flashback that his hunger to kill was unnaturally provoked and can be controlled. In fact, he is able to absorb powers, like Peter, without slicing open heads. "I find it quite hilarious. And the "hunger" stuff is actually a weak attempt to cover up for their loopholes.
Eh, still not enough?
Then the next news is gonna be quite a surprising one.
1 of the main character is going to die in the end of this season. Rumors said it might be Masi Oka, i.e. Hiro Nakamura which is the heart of the show. Although this might not be 100% accurate, but when they've done it in the future, they're just bringing the whole series down.
The reason for killing Masi Oka: In order to fill in numerous loopholes of the series. As to why, check it out yoursellf. It has something to do with time-travelling. Damn dumb.
And worst still the abilities are getting more and more repetitive and lame.
A new webisode will develops a soccer guy with the ability of acceleration. Another name for superspeed. LAME. And then another girl inside the webisode will possesses the power of turning into water.
Eh, the first thing that comes into my mind is the villain from Terminator. Now, that's 100% loads more cooler.
Anyway, the fact that Heroes is getting lamer (by overusing and recycles their ideas over and over again) by another simple fact.
The viewership of the show. From an average of 14 million plus people -with the peak of 16 million- drops downhill to 8-9 millions viewers.
Hilarious. The more dramatic the series get, the more "dramatic" viewership they score. LOL! And I think even the comedy series "How I Met Your Mother" is doing way better, with an average viewership of 8-9 million too, for three seasons.
More flaws to list out, just that I'm too lazy to do that.
I'm actually pretty done with the series, but I curse myself with the persistent attitude I have. I will finish watching something until the end of it.
*sigh* The same thing applies for the oh-so-Almighty Naruto which is truly overrated by its fans. That's why I won't start watching/reading a series from now on without doing enough researches.
K, done, bye, thanks for reading.
