I also thought the delivery was a bit weak on this one. It reminds me of Surface in the way it's trying to tie lots of people to some event or circumstance that's not fully fleshed out, withs some shady evil group trying to be evil.
In fact, it reminds me so much of Surface I'm wondering why they would drop Surface for this, when the Surface premier was more engaging than this one. And if people didn't like Surface why would they like a Surface clone based on X-Men.
I am definately going to be addicted to this show for a while.
Just the idea of it is so cool. Xmen is more of a nonrealistic type of movie, where people dress up in costumes and have somewhat unrealistic abilities. I'm not saying that it isn't entertaining, It's just not as realistic.
Heroes is actually something that could very well happen in real life, and is more of something you can relate to. Now, I'm not saying that it's possible to jump off a cliff and survive, I'm just saying that the idea of the show is more realistic and appealing than most shows, and I cannot wait tell episode two premieres.
I turned this show off when the indian looking teacher said "It is said we only use 10% of our brains." Stupid shit.
Relateable maybe, but only b/c it's an NBC/Universal show, and they're basically cut from a formula and you just add a source of conflict, much like the WB does with teen shows.Originally Posted by Mizuchi
Also the only difference between this and X-Men is the level of mutant development when the story begins. I would imagine the X-Men universe was much like the Heroes universe when Charles Xavier was younger. With people like Xavier and Magnus trying to understand and help mutants and people like Striker trying to eliminate/control them.
EDIT: Thanks whoever deleted the dbl post, sorry about that.

Ditching the costumes makes this series seem more realistic? I see people walking around in costumes all the time! (Even when it's not halloween; I live in a weird area).
As for the episode I watched of this show: I hated it. I guess that's to be expected, though, since movie theaters and commercials fed the same teaser to me over, and over, and over again. "I walked through fire and didn't get burned..." Everytime I hear that shit, I not only cringe for the utterly horrible acting, but I can't help but wonder: "Good. You want a cookie or trophy for that?"
They advertised it so much in my area that I'll probably never bother watching it again.
Try watching the show when you aren't depressed or cutting your wrists.
Okay, apparently living in a weird area and having a dislike for bad acting makes me a suicidal, depressed person. 10 points for Mizuchi for figuring that out!
My apologies, I didn't know Genma's acting standards are broadway level.
