Heroes Volume 3: Villains

*sigh*....weak weak weak....

Even I must admit as much of a "fanboy" I am for Heroes, Vol 3 was weak...had some good stuff but the finale left me with a puzzled look on my face.

There were no real battles between Heroes and Villains.


Also...anyone notice the half helix logo "scratch" on the redneck flame hands guy?

*sorry if someone else posted about that but Im too lazy to check the other posts*

As for Hiro, I kinda want something really bad to happen to him so he becomes all cool and ninja and uses an outdated, short-range weapon in a modern world. :cool:[/QUOTE]
Wait a minute.. they already tried this! They killed his Dad and he time traveled to learn how to use his sword. That should have removed his glasses and grown him a soul patch!
 
Ando's power is really lame. He is basically the ultimate side kick now.

Also, how does Ando fight Hiro with those powers in the future?

Also, Hiro should have told Kaito the truth and told him about his power. Kaito could then teach Hiro how to use the sword properly and Hiro could evolve into the badass Samurai
 
Yeah I wouldn't exactly have been jumping for joy at those abilities . If he fought Hiro in the future then there has to be something offensive he can do, maybe overload the heart or brain. Remember Hiro already knows how to use a sword........ he just doesn't. That reminds me did Hiro ever get that sword back from Adam after he took it from him last season?
 
So what is Heroes? Is it going to be another Terminator? Everything they did in Volume 3 causes that horrible future in episode 1. Now the writers are forcing predestination down our throats despite spending the last two years telling us that the Powers CAN stop an exploding man, AND stop a plague from ravaging the world.
On another note, I was hoping for Hiro to learn how to regain his powers, rather than having Ando the Amplifier and SpeedGirl save his butt. And then it turns out you gotta take the formula to regain powers?!

Thats what I was thinking...


Unless Ive missed it, and I dont think I have, has Kaito shown what his power is/was?

When he was on Howard Stern, George mentioned we would finally see his powers in season 2 but since that got cut short,..he later said the same thing again......and now we're done with season 3
 
I'm now convinced that Ando wasn't fighting Hiro in the future. I think he was trying to help Hiro, but since Hiro only saw a small part of what was happening, he though Ando was fighting him.

That or maybe Ando ends up siding with Nathan and turns on Hiro and the others.
 
I miss last night ep :/ , can just somebody make me happy and tell me mohinder is death , please ? . Even if is i lie ... Just make happy for a bit until i wacht the show online tonite :)
 
flint says back in pinehurst "i cant burn",
so does that mean hes still alive after that explosion?
somehow
mohinder
survives..

so then does that mean meredith is still alive?
or did she blow up like how peter blew up in season 1?
i hope she didnt die just by getting crushed by a collapsing building.. lame

Twas revealed in a deleted scene from Season 2, so I don't know whether or not you can say it's canon.
Kaito has the power to see the variables of any situation and predict the outcome. So, he looks at the stock page, he knows what stocks are going to do well

Ando ~= Fabian Cortez

Perhaps Ando was supercharging Hiro instead of killing him? I don't remember those five seconds from that episode perfectly.

Perhaps the future event was so big, that Hiro needed to stop time and allow multiple people to be moving in stopped time at the same moment.

Then again, Ando's offensive powers may have been a byproduct of an alternate future that will never occur now.

EDIT: Killing off Meredith was weak. She could have walked outside and let out a large flameburst straight into the sky. Havok did something similar at the start of the issue of Uncanny X-Men when Polaris became possessed by Malice while fighting Scalphunter and Arclight. Then again, Meredith always sucked.
 
If i remember right, Hiro and Ando were on a set of stairs and were turned towards each other. Hiro looked different, kinda between his normal self and badass samurai Hiro. He had his sword and was in a fighting stance. I believe it looked like Ando was shocking Hiro, but now that we know what Ando's power was, he very well could have been surperchaging Hiro.

Umm, I think Heroes should never be compared to comic books cause the whole premise seems to suck. The Heroes got their powers in an eclipse? Then how did the company know who to catch before the eclipse and what powers did the parent Petrellis and the Nakamuras have before it (so how are they explained)?
 
I wonder, since coming into contact with the formula seemed to cure Mohinder, dose that mean he no longer has powers or still does without the nasty side effects?

I saw that but at the sametime I figured that since it was never really shown or revealed it left things open for the writers to give him something different or more important.
 
[quote name='ananag112']Anyone else think the scene with Mohinder's face touching the liquid was similar to Harvey Dent from Dark Knight?[/QUOTE]

That slimey Mohinder was MUCH better than nakie-slimey-Mohinder.
 
Something else that struck me as odd last night, Mohinder said the forumla was combustible. What the hell is in the stuff that makes it combustible? Did he base it on gasoline or something?
 
I'm glad they are planning on laying off the future angles for awhile. This whole season was full of visions and such of things that never even came close to true. The one that does seem to be oncoming is the one that future Peter tried to avert and caused the whole butterfly madness. Fat lotta good that did!

What I really liked about the paintings in season 1 (and partialy in season 2) was that they included events that you didn't want to see come true but were unavoidable. The viewer was emotionally swung all over as they played right into those moments.

Let's hope for some turnaround magic in Volume 4! I think it's a good start. Nathan is still a slimy snake in the end, no matter how many times the writers throw the good Nathan out front for a bit.
 
[quote name='JolietJake']I wonder, since coming into contact with the formula seemed to cure Mohinder, dose that mean he no longer has powers or still does without the nasty side effects?[/quote]

I'm thinking he still has abilities, but without side effects.

The Pinehurst formula gives abilities that the Mohinder formula, but no side effects.
 
Once that formula spilled, I figured that would be when Peter regained his powers. Not by shooting himself up with the syringe. But I guess that works too, but makes him a hypocrite. But it does ultimately set up Peter vs Nathan in a few seasons, depending on how long the show runs.

With that said, I really think the Fugitives storyline will work quite nicely. Assuming they don't catch all of the big time players (Peter, Parkman, and Hiro) all at once(I don't consider Claire a big time player just yet, but I think that she is close). If that happens, then its going to be up to the likes of Noah, Claire, and Mohinder to save them from the camps.

I think Parkman and his manipulation power could play a big hand this time around. Unless of course, he ends up being the first one to be captured. If he isn't and he knows they are coming, he could alter reality and just escape every time.
 
I thought the coolest part was when Nathan told the Marine guy to stop Peter by any means. Then right when he turns around, SNAPYONECK.

Also, for a finale, it was a lame episode. The whole showdown with Sylar was built so well, but I guess all good things come to an end, but what a lame way to end Sylar (for now at least).

Ando's power is pretty sweet, but that whole group's (Ando, Parkman, other girl) subplot feels so cartoony or corny.

Ugh, Heroes... such a messy show.
 
Sylars not dead. If anything the fire/building faliing will get the glass out. Peter better not get captured because that would be a lame way for him to get his powers back. Im interested to see what annoying blonde lady and Mohinder are going to do.
Why is it that Blonde lady said one marine had been injected and yet during those webisodes it showed more marines with powers or did I just remember that scene with Angela wrong?

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/webisodes/the-recruit/#vid=883401
Ok two things: 1. That series looks like crap and two it looks like it was produced by scifi
 
I hope the government anti-heroes squad finds out in the later episodes that Nathan can fly. bwahahaha...
 
While there was a deleted scene with Kaito using his power, I wouldn't trust that until we actually see it in the show (i.e. not a deleted scene).

I like the government angle. But I wonder how they could not know about people with powers all this time?
 
[quote name='slickkill77']How did Nathan get to the president so damn fast?[/quote]

It said 13 months later or something like that - didn't it?
He is a senator after all.
 
I think the new season will end up being a super powered A-Team. They're being hunted, but they'll be going around the country helping single moms and the wrongfully accused. God I hope I'm wrong about that.
 
I've got a prediction for Season 4. Nathan and NTAC have one of the people with powers kill Peter. But Peter comes back as the savior, then they round up all the people with powers and they live in a part of Seattle that they call Promise City....
 
[quote name='JolietJake']I was kinda hoping Michael Dorn would have powers, not be the president.[/QUOTE]

He could have powers too. It could be the big twist in the next volume.
 
[quote name='JolietJake']I was kinda hoping Michael Dorn would have powers, not be the president.[/quote]


i am sure there is at least one batch of the formula left somewhere.
 
Anybody else think the president was Obama for a second when they showed his eyes? Reminded me of him.

Also, this show is very very similar to The 4400. People with similar powers trying to save the future. A formula created to give people powers. Seems like they are ripping off of it.

When's the next volume supposed to start?
 
I was hoping President Michael Dorn was more like Worf. I mean why would any honorable warrior round up all the powers instead of fighting them to the death... with honor?

Yup, there are many people making the same connections. As well, each series started out pretty well too. However The 4400 only lasted 4 seasons without any real ending, so unfortunately I could kinda see heroes going the same way, except this is still in the third season.
 
This show is playing musical chairs with its character's motivation and characterization. You never know what's going to happen -- not because of good writing but because a character can change sides and direction at the drop of a dime... and that's silly. These writers are nowhere near super-hero comic book quality (like Bendis, Ennis, Brubaker, Fraction, or Vaughn), just day time soap opera level, which Heroes has been reduced to. I wonder if the original season one writers were replaced.
 
Sylar, ando and nathan were great. Damn line "so you want me to spank them?" by Claire...makes me feel like watching something else.

Didn't care for the first half of 'dual' but the second half was good stuff. Nathan's "you broke my heart, pete" and then getting him with the pipe was awesome. Souped up Ando > flying-again Peter, even if he can't do things on his own.

Betcha mohinder's still alive.
