Flaws and inefficiencies of the series

I like the Heroes series but I cannot hide the feeling of a bit of disappointment for the whole idea (the mutant thing) came from the great comic book writer Stan Lee. It’s like copying an idea and just enhancing a great story to make it different from the original. Like a revival song in the early years that was just sloppy but turned out to be a huge hit. I'm not saying that Stan Lee's original comic series was a flop, it did earn a big and successful outcome that's why if revive or enhance differently in congruence to these generation. Added with more spice and furnished the borders of vagueness a likely intense and fan-filled series is created. But when I saw Stan Lee as a bus driver asking Hiro to take a ride, I thought, maybe Stan Lee supports the series. So that’s why its just "a bit of disappointment" for me. (What the heck!) The series was good enough to be entertaining though but there are some inconsistencies that I noticed during the series.

I’ll disclose 3 of the inconsistencies, flaws or inefficiencies in the series.

1st is about this girl who can connect the internet through her mind. Where the hell is she? I thought they wanted to go to Bennet’s house but only Ted (human bomb) and the Cop (great hearing) came along to pressure Bennet about the truth. Maybe she was playing counterstrike online or any other online game since it’s free. :-D (I’m dying to meet her lol!)

2nd is from the last episode where finally Syler and Peter meet to end the battle for good. There was an eye-strain-flashing and loud gun shots. The election ended moments ago and the whole place was a dead town. That place was the main plaza where Petrelli was campaigning and on the night of the election which he just won. The place was silent, abandoned, secluded. Where’s the party Petrelli?! There was a battle of mutants currently happening and nobody seemed to care? No cops except for the “hero” who just got shot 4 times. It was like the whole moment’s been given for them. No distractions. Only them, Nobody cares. Or maybe Peter made them all invisible that’s why nobody noticed them.

3rd was Syler. He died after being stab by Hiro’s fulfilling, destined, and promising “sword” that could save the world. But after all the cops and paramedics took the victims in the van including our “Hero Cop,” how could they forget to take Syler’s body with them. They just let his body lying down there. What a mess! Why? Because he killed so many people? So many that even touching his body would be a mortal sin? Or because they wanted his blood to flow downs the drain? Good for the next villain eh?!

The last 2 inconsistencies were heartily given by the scriptwriters for the heroes’ benefit. I mean they controlled the whole situation but enough to make me wonder. What the hell is going on? Just to make another sequel they needed to create a scene full of flaws?

Don’t get mad people. It’s just an opinion. Like I said I just like the “Heroes” series. I don’t exactly love them.

If you have seen any inconsistencies, well, feel free to disclose them. You can actually answer my questions and make me understand more about the flaws I just written. Maybe I’m mistaken but give me a good answer to realize that I’m wrong.

Thanks.

Do you read the graphic novels? In one of them, it is revealed that she felt that Matt and Ted were only out for vengeance, so she abandonded them. Oh by the way, in another one, she died.

Well, yeah. It was like, 1 in the morning. Even New York is abandonded at that hour.

Sylar had escaped by the time the paramedics came. Duh.

Syler was lying there right? His body was there.

Ikin · 07-16-2007, 09:27 PM

No, he got dragged into the sewer.

The_Heroic_Loser · 07-16-2007, 10:22 PM

Ikin's right about everything except the second point. New York never sleeps. That's the only inconsistency I can see.

Mad4Milo · 07-16-2007, 10:25 PM

Even dead Sylar is hot... sorry, I agree with Ikin except I don't see why it was abandoned...

Mad4Milo · 07-16-2007, 10:32 PM

Well, the plaza could be quiet. There is not entertainment there...people who were awake would be doing fun stuff like partying at bars and clubs. the plaza looked like ti was surrounded by businesses and apartments.

Thats true, now that I go back and watch it, everything would be closed, that doesn't seem like a hotspot at 1 am.

They just need to do a better job next year of not having character's powers paint them into a corner with the dramatic moments. The fact that fans figured out a way for Peter to stop from exploding without sacrificing anyone was kind of a big hit. I mean I'm able to let it go for the sake of dramatic purposes, but Kring has to make sure such things don't happen again.
