A few corrections/add-ons I’d like to make: -Peter got his powers back because he injected himself with the power-giving serum. I totally missed that on a rewatch, my bad. -I didn’t mean to imply that streaming existed in 2006. What I was trying to point out was that this was a transition period between old school cable and streaming. Entire shows were easier to watch in order through things like video on demand, dvr, dvd box sets, and buying episodes on itunes. This is one reason why more serialized shows were successful at this time. -Tim Kring announced a revival series in April called Heroes Eclipsed. The video was already done by the time I heard about it, otherwise I would have mentioned it.

Why do you keep saying old school cable? This was on NBC. NBC is a broadcast television channel. Even to this day you can just put an antenna up and watch it.

@BigBlueBackpack Месяц назад

I’m starting to realize that I don’t know the difference between network and cable tv. Growing up, I had a ‘cable box’ and I referred to anything I watched on it as ‘cable tv.’ I’ve also always heard ‘streaming’ and ‘cable’ described as the two opposing ways to watch tv in the modern day. I never knew that ‘network’ tv was its own distinct thing before all these comments started correcting me.

It's really weird why Peter got a watered down version of his ability because the "Formula" was presented as a perfect well, formula to give abilities because Mohinder got it wrong and started to have a hideous mutation as a result but when he took the perfect formula it got rid of the mutation but he still had his enhanced Strength, agility and durability.

When Heroes first came out I downloaded 6 min long pieces of new episodes (8 videos per episode) at my work computer with a high speed Internet. Put them into a USB go home and watch it with my GF.

One huge mistake they made with Heroes was to reverse direction on not having sacred characters. When the show began no character was safe from being killed off, but unfortunately Hayden, Milo, and Zachary became so popular they reversed course. This was a huge mistake. There was no suspense knowing the show was no longer willing to truly kill off a character. The network chose to appease the type of fan who can't live without their favorites at the expense of the show.

The eclipse was annoying because when it took the powers away, they strongly implied that the eclipse in the first episode was what gave them powers. Except they seemingly forgot that the first season had an episode set months before the first episode where they already had powers anyway.

@chrishansen8119 Месяц назад

Love the video, but there is one thing to address; Peter had his original empathic mimicry powers taken away by his dad (because it was wayyy too op), and he got them back when taking one of the last remaining vials of the serum before Arthur’s building blew up. That’s why his new powers are slightly different. Edit: Hiro got his powers back because of Parkman jr. Which means that Arthur is taking the powers away, but since they’re genetic, if an outside force can kickstart the gene again, you’re all good.

I'm a completionist, when i start watching something, I have to watch it to the end. Heroes, by the end of the first season proved that it had no direction or plan. Everything about it was pointless. It was so bad, that it managed to break my completionist instincts. I was never able to finish this. I had such high hopes and it would be easy to make it an amazing show by better planning and interweaving the plots but no, it was like each episode writer was just told to continue the previous episode, with no other direction

@Ravuun Месяц назад

I saw this when it aired and I watched it all, even the reboot fiasco. One thing they did that was fun was an interactive element. During each episode premiere, you would go to the site on your phone and it would have polls, behind the scenes information, plot hints, character backstories, stuff like that. Sometimes it would ask the audience to guess what would happen next and you'd get to see whether or not everyone was right. TV shows using the internet to get the audience to participate were so innovative during this time period. Lost was another one that really tried to be multimedia before social media was really a thing.

@richardjohnson9543 Месяц назад

That first season was one of the greatest superhero epics of all time, especially given that it wasn't based on a comic or any other preexisting material. It was also one of the last network series to get truly massive ratings, averaging over 14 million viewers per episode. And then things slowly went off the rails. They weren't prepared for the show to become a phenomenon and made poor decisions while trying to adapt to the situation. The writer's strike wasn't the fatal blow but it was certainly a contributing factor. I did indeed watch the show till the end, even when it seemed that they were just making stuff up(like Mohinder's bad ripoff of The Fly)with no plan at all. Even as it went downhill it still had its moments though. Btw Heroes is in the process of being rebooted yet again with Kring at the helm so let's see how that goes

@bleedinggreen5748 Месяц назад

The reason Peter got the more limited version of his power is because thus time the source was synthetic. The synthetic version just isn't powerful enough to completely replace his original genetic gift but the gene was still present so it worked much the same way. You're absolutely right, the reason they did this in year 3 and the reason they gave him amnesia in year 2 was because he was too powerful. It was their original intention to have completely different characters each season. They never would have left him so OP if they knew they were bringing him back. As for Hiro's brain tumor, yes it was a result of bending time with his brain.

That's a truly brilliant observation.

You forgot about Hannah's story being tied up in the comics where she basically becomes digitized. I read the comics as they came out so its been awhile, but I think it had something to do with a satellite? Also, yes the writers strike did cause a lot of issues in the show. The second season had its episodes cut in half pretty much and the plot lines were all screwed which messed up a lot of the storylines. That whole season got screwed, which hurt ratings and the popularity of the show. That caused more interference from the network to try and "fix" things. Tim wasn't a comic reader either and didn't know superheroes that well. He was the big reason it went bad afterwards when combining the network trying to get more involved. Characters with interesting powers were abandoned for ones with easier powers to show on a network show with declining ratings. That's why so many ended up using similar powers or just "He gets strong because of this". The character with magnetic powers was one of the most poorly used. Another reason was the popularity of characters like Sylar. He was supposed to die in season one, but since he was so popular they kept him on. Then it became the Sylar show and that really just got annoying after like the tenth twist with his character.

@eddyfernandez3710 Месяц назад

So I actually watched this on its first run and during the time of the second or third season (can't remember... it's been a few years), I worked at NBC. This show had SO MUCH potential throughout its first season but then the writers strike happened and absolutely kneecapped the show. When it came back, it had an abridged season and the writing never really recovered from the corners they wrote themselves into in order to get a second season out. The smartest move there would have been to allow the show to just come back when it was ready and it was a costly mistake that NBC paid for time and time again. Unfortunate but that mentality is part of the reason why network television is no longer the paragon of entertainment it once was and why streaming services have taken over.

Two of the dropped plot lines can be explained. Time travellers getting tumours could be explained by their altering of the timeline and their brains unable to deal with the new history.

Like literally what is David Lynch trying to say artistically? And I know I'm not the only person confused on that one. Heroes, at least you can figure out most of it if you pay attention.

@millasboo Месяц назад

36:25 Okay there’s an explanation for this. The power absorption is only one power at a time. The reason Arthur could absorb multiple is because Peter had multiple powers you see that in the pulses that are released. Tommy says he lost healing for time travel. The reason his time travel at first appeared different was because of mental blocks it’s why later he learned to not just mimic Hiros abilities but additionally may two different time phantom’s of himself. 37:41 We don’t need to infer she learns to do it in season 2

I never got into the expanded universe, but after the summary of everything, I realize I really *did* watch all of the show, even Reborn! I had my timeline meeega messed up, though. For some reason, I thought that the circus guy storyline in season five happened in the middle of the show (and due to my family watching a lot of medical serials, I thought that the soundsight lady was also somehow part of House or maybe Grey’s Anatomy but with hallucinations as some sort of crossover/Easter egg. Ah, the mind of a child and the bullshit it’ll make up), and I thought Sylar remembered his identity and took his anger out on everyone/went back to being a villain. Honestly, that probably would’ve made more sense. If I were Sylar, I would be absolutely PISSSED! Thank you for cataloguing the whole lovely mess that is this show! It’s so awesome to see my scattered memories be threaded together again, and it’s even cooler to learn about stuff like the ARG that I’d never known existed

Maybe another interesting tidbit: Tim Kring announced a sequel show Heroes: Eclipsed (which he announced during the eclipse.) Its going to be very interesting imo to see how it will handle the whole superhero thing given that we now live in a pots MCU era. The original show played it mostly straight. "We have to save the world!" Without a hint of irony or quibs. Now it seems that there cant be a live action superhero thing without irony and quibs. Dont get me wrong, I like the MCU. But all those quibs and sarcastic comments from the characters do get annoying at some point. Especially since its seeping into other movies and shows as well. I found Heroes surpisingly refreshing in that regard when I first watched it a few months ago. So I'm interested to see if the new show leans more into the ironic side or still plays it straight.

I LOVED this show. First season was amazing and then they just got worse, but because of the writers strike, I knew why it was turning shit. I watched from start to finish, as it came out. I cannot overstate how amazing it was to watch the first season back then. There was no MCU or DCU out there. It was incredibly dope to follow along. I still think that there isnt any realistic super hero show out there as good as the first season was.

I binged the whole show on Netflix years ago. Season 4 was really hard for me to get through. Season 1 is still amazing. I only saw 1 episode of Heroes Reborn and that was it. I've seen videos of what happened in Reborn and I am glad I gave up on it.

Good job. I watched it live.

@Iamthebirdmanjr Месяц назад

I stuck it out all the way to the end and even though it veered off so fast I still was comparing it to X-men so I kept watching just to kinda get that feeling

One of the best shows ever and one of the most mishandled ever as well...

@fakeoutmedia9698 Месяц назад

I don't remember completely but I think I saw a behind the scenes on s2 possibly on the dvd and before the writers strike the plan was the virus actually fell in the last scene with Adam then the 2nd half of the season was about quarantining the area and dealing with it. And Peter would go back and rescue the girl strandard in the other timeline. But yeah then the writers strike happened amd everything had to be wrapped up immediately.

Season 1 is a great season of television watching weekly.

New to your channel. Brilliant video!

@MarquisdeSuave Месяц назад

The 1st season was fun, even if the ending was kinda anticlimactic. 2nd season was so terrible that it made me question myself on whether or not Season 1 was good or not.

Great video man! I loved Heroes when it first came out. It was amazing how much the writers strike derailed the show. Such a shame. Its still a fun watch though, if you turn your brain off. Want to do an even more convoluted mystery show? Try Pretty Little Liars... It's insane.

@Lucky10279 Месяц назад

Well if you're looking for suggestions of mystery box TV shows to explain, how about Manifest? The ending was really confusing. And that's probably partly because what was originally supposed to be a 6 season show got crammed into 4. But I think the writers still tried their best and I feel like there IS an underlying explanation for everything that happened in the finale, but it's confusing and hard to follow. Which is exactly what you said you're the guy to explain.

Ahhh Sliders and Heroes... trying to convince us that shapchanger's clothes change with them just because you're too lazy to try and line up the shots. I watched all of this and really appreciate you trying to make sense of it all. I sure as shit didn't.

Watched the whole original and reboot smh so much potential

@rayneingdown Месяц назад

Oh my goodness I’ve been waiting for this video! Heroes was one of those shows I grew up with and got muddled as hell with time and memory degrading. I remember some things very sharply, others blurry, but mostly I remember being confused as fuck with what was going on. Edit to add: I remember watching through to the end, but I don’t remember what happened 😆 so does that really count?

@Kreamycheese Месяц назад

I love heroes and watched every episode since day one including the one offs and the re release.

@wl3217 Месяц назад

2nd Season was painful. On top of everything, there were breaks. It made the mysteries without payoff even worse. I felt the end of the last season was rerailing it and it could have been good again if it had another season immediately after AND Brian Fuller stayed onboard. The show's quality seems to mostly come and go with him being on the writing team.

@tobechukwuokonkwo5957 Месяц назад

Great show....Just one correction for the narrator- the first season of Heroes was on NBC- not cable TV....

@seantaylor424 Месяц назад

Linderman failed to realize that tragedy alone doesn't unite people, but a person to blame the tragedy on. Hell, if you have a good bogeyman, then you don't even need a tragedy because their hype will make people want to prevent anything from happening. Cool that there's a story where the villain tries uniting the world and just makes things worse, since the only examples I can think of imply the villains get exactly what they aimed for. I remember trying this show back in the day but failing to keep up with it. After hearing this video, I lament that and wonder if this show can still be found anywhere. Each season being a different storyline without forgetting the past is a novel idea these days and sounds cool.

This is one of my favorite shows. I own all 4 seasons. I still love this show and I re-watch it every year. Yes, season 1 is the best season, but I think season 3 is very good too. I think people give it too much crap because it tries to do so much. Also it is the only season with two volumes. Not everything in season 3 is successful, but I would not call it bad by any means. Season 2 however is very bad. It is hard to get through it. Luckily, it is the shortest season. Season 4 isn't great but it's not horrible. There are some really cool moments. By no means is this show anywhere near perfect, but it is still an amazing show.

@Mrinvisibleman55 22 дня назад

Just wanted to answer a couple of the dropped plotlines: 1. Hiro's brain tumor. You pretty much answered this. It is a problem that Time Travelers get in the show. Not sure why time travel causes tumors. But it has something to do with they are stopping the world's time but they can still move and walk around. It's kinda weird, but time travel is super powerful. So it makes sense there should be a catch to having that power. Also Peter and Arthur didn't get tumors because they both had Regenerative Healing Factors. 2. Why did Peter's power change? So I think you did a poor job of explaining Peter's power. Peter had the power of Empathic Mimicry. This means he could duplicate the abilities of other evolved humans within proximity and reproduce them at will. Basically he copies the powers of other people he gets close to. He never takes anyone's power away. Once he met his dad in volume 3, Arthur took Peter's powers away. Arthur has the ability to absorb the powers of anyone he touches. This leaves them with no powers. Basically he makes them into normal people. So Peter lost all his abilities. However, at the end of volume 3 Peter steals a syringe filled with the formula that gives people powers. He injects it into himself giving himself a brand new power. However because powers are genetic Peter's new power is similar to his old one. Peter's new power is Power Replication. This is the ability to copy the powers of other evolved humans through physical contact. Basically Peter can touch someone and copy their power. The person he copies the power of does not lose their power. Also he can only hold onto one power at a time. So for example, he can touch his brother and copy the power to fly. However, if he touches Matt and copies telepathy he loses the ability to fly. 3. Why does Sylar go into Matt's mind? That is because Matt messed up. He didn't erase Sylar's memories he just moved them. Matt was pushed into doing this. He didn't want to do it and he didn't think it would work. They needed Rene or Peter to erase the memories. Matt has never been shown to be able to erase a memory. 4. Sylar/Nathan remembers he killed his girlfriend. This plot point was closed. It does not need to be followed up on. The girl's mom puts a hit on Nathan. The hitman believes he killed Nathan and tells the girl's mom. The end. The reason why she hired the hitman was because she believed Nathan when he told her he killed her daughter. She was pissed off. She wanted Nathan dead. And she thinks she achieved her revenge. What else do you want to know? 5. Luke's relationship with Sylar was interesting. But Sylar was only interesting in finding his father. Luke kinda blackmailed Sylar into bringing him along. And once Sylar learned the truth he didn't need Luke anymore. Sylar tells Luke to go home after attacking him. I'm pretty sure he would have killed Luke if Luke kept following him. As for why Luke didn't get a story about what happened to him afterwards, I think his character was just not interesting enough. I think Heroes follows the idea of Pulp Fiction. A bunch of stories about different people that sometimes connect to each other. The best way to follow this show is to follow the stories of the characters. Don't think of Heroes as one overarching story. Think of it as many characters stories with crossovers. P.S. Tim Kring stated the original plan was for Heroes to be an anthology series as you stated. However, the reason they brought back all the same characters was because fans loved the characters and demanded they come back. Should the showrunners have ignored the fans? Probably. But I would miss Peter and Sylar too much.

I was glued to season 1. I watched season 2 thinking it wasn’t the same show I knew, so tedious. Then the start of season 3 double and triple downed on the nonsense I hated. Hours of a white samurai wondering around and various other non stories became ridiculous, I couldn’t face season 3 and never finished season 2. Years later they tried saying of a later season”back to the heroes you loved” like it had died for a few seasons. I never bothered.
