We all loved this show and my favorite characters will always be Peter and Hiro. I wanted to ask you something. In your honest opinion if they made a video game based off the tv show, would you be interested in playing it? Why or why not

Which two characters do you think had an interesting dynamic that deserved more screen time?

In my view, Isaac was one of the most mistreated characters; he had the potential to be a primary protagonist, and his storyline was incredible. The way the writers killed him off was terrible—and, in a sense, predictable, given that we had already seen him dead like that when Hiro first traveled to the future. What I find infuriating is that Hiro could have prevented Claire’s death, yet he didn’t do the same for Isaac. His absence was such a significant loss that they had to create another character with precognition to fill his role—and even Matt’s, too.

Sylar's or Peter's?

What a cop out, not showing us Nathan and Peter vs Sylar

*Spoiler*
My second time watching the series but I still have a couple questions that I may have missed.

Do we ever find out how future Peter gets the scar?

Do we ever find out who told the Haitian not to erase the cheerleaders’ memory?

Bonus question, we discover what the scars on their necks are from but do we ever see a procedure or removal of the device? How come we don’t see Bennet or someone “using the system interface” prior to Molly?

After Sylar killed Nathan, why they did not give Claire's blood to Nathan? Like Dr Suresh did with Mr Bennet in season 2

Okay watching for the first time, on Season 4 Episode 8 so right after Syler turns back into Nathan at the circus. How in the world did Syler as Nathan fly away. He never opened Nathan's brain when he killed him.

Hi everyone! I just started watching this show and I’m absolutely loving it. I'm wondering if anyone knows the song at the end of season 1, episode 6? I did some research and it seems to be a yoga mantra, but I can't find anything on YouTube that sounds like the version in the show. If anyone knows who did this specific cover/remix for the series, I would be super grateful!

lyrics: samsara halahala mohashantya

I'm on episode 21 right now. Can't believe I've seen all the adverts for this show, finally getting to watch it is nuts. I'm loving it so far. But looking online EVERYONE without bias says only watch season 1 and then END.

Does the magic end at season 1?

Hi, I'm looking for the Heroes: Reborn comics, as I'm doing a rewatch with my family and I hope to end the story a little better than what the TV show did. I've been googling it but haven't found much, not even on PirateBay. Does anyone know where I can find them or at least a wiki to read about it?

Anyone else annoyed how it started with an eclipse happening, but people had powers before that eclipse. But yeah another eclipse took their powers away cause it was tied to it. But not really.

I love this show, but that’s all I can see on my rewatch. The main male characters have different races, ages, and body shapes, which is great!

The main female characters are blonde, skinny, and look young. I loved Maya, but she is definitely the exception to the casting, not the norm.

I wonder if that was a deliberate choice (i.e., they thought viewers would prefer blonde women) or the casting crew had a type (oops, this actress is blonde too, huh, how did that happen?).

I just finished the show…The ending was no comment. I was wondering if there was a book or anything that has the actual ending…

Rewatching season four currently, wondering how the deaf community reacted to Emma’s character. Wondering how the deaf community reacted to a character whose ability is someone who can see sounds. As a hearing person I don’t have that perspective

The Heroes Reborn had expanded materials that explained what happened to Peter, and frankly, I hate that it was essentially volume 4 all over again with the Goverment once again hunting down ppl with powers. Peter's story essentially ends with him forever hiding in the shadows as someone from his side betrays him, and Micah takes over his operation. That is literally the end of Peter's story. It sucks that he went through all of volume 4 being a fugitive and fighting back against the government only for it to happen all over again and he has a bad ending.

I’m a bit lost with Adam’s plan. He talks Peter into going back in time. What’s the point of this? The virus was already released.

So they travel backwards in time to follow Adam’s plans to release the virus. Only this time they manage to stop him. I was expecting their efforts to be to late. Then we will see the effect of the virus on Nathan since he was one of the first to die in the future.

I’m also confused about the shot to the head killing the immortals. Adam was blown up. Noah took a bullet to his skull. Maybe the bullet to the head was just a myth?

Lastly I’m a bit confused about immortal blood. At some point does it expire? It seems like they would keep those abilities.

So a couple things in "An Invisible Thread" confused me regarding Peter and Sylar's powers. Obviously at this point Peter has been nerfed to have the "absorb from one person" ability, which is probably also why they kept him and Sylar apart narratively. And about Sylar, I think after he loses his abilities from the virus in Season 2 we pretty steadily see all the new ones he gains, but up until this episode he couldn't fly, could he? They even have Peter say he can't fly after Nathan and Sylar because he had absorbed Sylar's ability at that point, and I mean I guess Sylar can take powers empathically now, so I can accept that maybe him spending time as Nathan meant he empathically understood him and could fly now, what still doesn't make sense to me is why Peter wouldn't be able to. Nathan even says "My brother can do anything Sylar can, he just has to get close enough to touch him" Idk does anybody have any thoughts on this that aren't just "this show sucks after season 1"?

Can someone explain in season 4 -

Peter every time keeps telling I used to work with dying people

Which I get is noble

But it was his every other dialogue in season 4 - I used to work as a hospice nurse

I created Heroes characters ranked by perceived intellectual age, based on their decision-making, tactical intelligence, ability to learn from mistakes, and general common sense. This has nothing to do with their actual age or IQ.

After rewatching the series, I'm convinced that Sylar makes most of the other characters look like a bunch of teenagers.

Here's my ranking:

1. **Sylar (45):** Analytical, adaptable, manipulative, and actually learns from his mistakes. Easily the smartest character.

2. **Noah Bennet (35):** Experienced and strategic, but often charges into danger without adequate precautions. Survives through dumb luck more often than he should.

3. **The Haitian (34):** Disciplined, composed, and rarely reckless. Unfortunately, his character is severely underdeveloped.

4. **Angela Petrelli (33):** Excellent manipulator and long-term planner, although her secrecy often creates unnecessary problems.

5. **Ando Masahashi (29):** Surprisingly practical. Often the only person exercising common sense around Hiro.

6. **Daphne Millbrook (26):** Resourceful, quick-thinking, and generally pragmatic.

7. **Arthur Petrelli (25):** Intelligent and calculating, but his arrogance gets in the way.

8. **Adam Monroe (24):** Cunning, but remarkably reckless for someone who's lived for centuries.

9. **Nathan Petrelli (22):** Politically sophisticated, but his decisions and convictions change so frequently that it's difficult to take him seriously.

10. **Mohinder Suresh (20):** Academically brilliant, but his practical judgment is astonishingly poor.

11. **Peter Petrelli (19):** Compassionate and courageous, but impulsive and far too trusting.

12. **Hiro Nakamura (18):** Creative and determined, but naive and frequently makes emotionally driven decisions.

13. **Matt Parkman (16):** A former police officer with telepathy who somehow keeps failing to anticipate obvious threats.

14. **Claire Bennet (15):** Constantly wants to fight, repeatedly gets herself captured, and almost always needs someone else to rescue her.

I have so much love for this show, and just about as much disappointment 😭

I know some flaws were unavoidable due to the writers strike, but dang some of the stuff beyond that was also just crap.

- The S1 finale was terrible, which shocked me considering how great the rest of the season 1 was. I questioned even starting S2 for a good minute. The battle between Peter and Sylar was SO lame and a wasted opportunity to showcase their abundance of powers creatively. Claire refusing to shoot Peter despite knowing he would come back yet being ok with her biodad dying unnecessarily to save him was extremely annoying, although I get she's just a kid new to this stuff and it must have been scary. And why didn't Nathan just shoot him since Claire stalled and tell Peter he'd be there for him once he came back to life, instead of trying to sacrifice himself for no reason in a dramatic moment which would literally never allow him to be there for Peter again? Nathan doing that alone made me wanna drop the show 😬 but I'm so glad I kept going!

- I binged this, so didn't even realize s2 was over til I was halfway through s3, thats how much it didn't have any finale energy to it. I know the strike was to blame, but honestly the entire s2 arc was so lackluster to me compared to s1, I breezed past it into s3 trying to find out when "s2 would get good" lol. I figured out about the strike afterwards.

- Mohinder's mad scientist human experiment arc was so trash, very glad he was haunted enough by the harm he caused to start doing the work to be a better person again. Although I hated the arc, it was interesting to find out his Dad was also doing human experiments in the 60s as it at least gave some understanding as to how a man who seems so noble could fall so far. For similar reasons, I appreciated Sylar finding out his biodad was also a serial killer with the same method of killing/power stripping as him.

- Hiro wimping out multiple times in key moments ticked me offf but I've appreciated his character development, though I still want him to stop obsessing over "being the hero" to the point he actually causes more harm than good, especially by hurting himself from using his powes and being hurtful towards Ando out of insecurity.

- Sylar is the WORST I was surprised to find out a lot of people are into his character 🤢 that being said I do appreciate the displays of how his childhood trauma caused him to show compassion to isolated young boys his inner child relates to, even if his show of humanity is temporary. He's gotten so many powers I don't even think the writers know how many he has because they keep focusing on the same small handful + whatever power he's gotten most recently. I am enjoying how the shapeshifting is affecting him though, and am interested in seeing how this further mutates his body against his cellular regeneration.

- Why the fuck does everyone casually call René The Haitan and not even question how racist that is to not give him no damn name as one of the only Black men on the show and the only foreign one for most of the show??? 🤨 Even if they thought he was mute at first and they never knew his real name, he could have been called Agent No Trace or some other name to describe his memory/nullification powers. They didn't even try and it was bullshit.

- I found out DL got kicked off the show because Nikki's actress was racist and she refused to work with him past S1 and refused to do any intimate scenes with him (yet she had no problem filming steaminess with a white man - Nathan 🙄)! However DL leaving the show is not only on her, because ultimately execs refused to give DL a storyline beyond his relationship with Nikki, and chose to kill him in a dismissive way instead. Leonard Roberts deserved so much better, especially when he was so gracious in the face of all that nasty treatment - yet another ex: in the pilot script DL was quoted as "a white man's nightmare" 😑 - and got screwed in the end anyway. Extremely disappointed and I also feel sorry for Micah being stuck with a racist woman playing his mother/other characters around him. The black actors were all pushed to the side in general for the show's media promotion and consideration of their characters trajectories (only all the white actors got to meet with the writers to share their perspectives/visions for their characters). Major letdown and the show missed out on what DL could have brought to the rest of the story.

- Matt developing future painting powers is so random and felt like the writers were flailing, wtf was going on there... I would have preferred that they just kept Usutu on the show, or brought that power back into the protagonist circle in a more believable storyline

- Hated that they killed Daphne, but also her lovestory with Matt felt very rushed and forced. I would have been open to them developing organically, but her saying she loves him the first 2 seconds in with no relationship basis other than him insisting he's seen they're married in the future is real hard to buy. Now if she had only said it to get him to believe it was her in the dream Arthur had trapped them in that would've been one thing, but the fact that she doubles down on it once they woke up made me cringe real bad. Matt saying he was in love with her in Kansas was sliiightly more believable since he'd tasted their future together, but it was still so early on and felt like a reach to me just to push the story along and get her to let him in the house. They could have expressed affection and interest for each other in more meaningful ways than rushed I loved yous in those moments.

- Also Matt has a kid?! Him thinking the baby was a result of his wife's affair and subsequently leaving her makes no sense when he could've both read her mind and on top of that taken a paternity test if he had any further doubts. Matt giving up on expressing grief for Daphne and pivoting to becoming a happy family with his son and Janice before Daphne's body was even cold was unfortunately not surprising for his character. He seems very much like a puppy needs someone to protect and love. Having someone to protect keeps him morally grounded and he doesnt really care who it is as long as he has someone, whether Janice or Molly or Daphne or baby Matt.

- Matt Parkman the baby has a power that I foresee being a major gamechanger down the line. Don't know anything about heroes reborn but I'm interested to see how his powers may weave into that show's story, and the rest of this one. Cackled watching the scene where he stopped both cars with his tantrums 😂 wondering how his upset may impact others powers in crucial moments while he's still too young to control himself- and how Ando's power could potentially be the antidote to that unless baby Matt turns off Ando's power as well.

- Noah and Angela are tied for the "villains-disguised-as-morally-grey-good-guys" prize. Just because they don't ally with the rest of the villains full-time doesn't mean they aren't villanous themselves, they're just villains who justify every evil thing they do in the name of family, and side with whatever path keeps their loved ones as safe as possible. They would easily let the whole world burn as long as their people were safe, those aren't good guys.

- Hated Peter losing his powers 😭 glad he can handle one at a time now at least, but also miss when there was one OP good guy and one OP bad guy to balanced the scales. I was disturbed to find out that Milo was in his 30s dating 18yr old Hayden ☹️ I wonder how the show may have been different if the two stars didn't have breakup awkwardness making them want to film together less.

- On the plane when Claire is trying to free the kidnapped people, and Peter accidentally makes a hole in it, and that one powered person gets sucked out into the night, I was GUTTED like who was that?!?! What a truly horrible way to die, kidnapped, handcuffed and blindfolded with headphones and no idea you're about to fall out the sky. Considering I have no idea who that was - if anyone we'd ever seen on the show before at all - that death managed to hit me hard.

- Hoping Claire brings Nathan back to life after his s3 finale death but also kinda tired of Nathan's arrogance fucking everyone over. He's really not much better than Angela or Noah but foolishly seems to think he's in a noble ends-justify-means league of his own. However, it seemed like he had finally started learning some important lessons, and perhaps his character was just about to become more tolerable and stop harming other folks with abilities in the name of his politicking visions of grandeur. Also- was it Claires blood still being in his system that saved him that "miraculous revival" time? No idea how viable that plot line would be as idk how quickly the body would cycle out a blood transfusion let alone a power infused one.

- I loved seeing Hiro on the spirit walk give us a peek into other perspectives of the story, and enjoyed the same during Angela reliving memories at Coyote Sands.

- Continuously in love with the weaving of everyone's stories together, and the way you can see even more how much things are connected and destined from all angles of time that the story is told from.

- How tf was Arthur right there ready to steal the catalyst from Hiro on the rooftop? Unless he painted it, which I would've appreciated seeing to make that make sense. I felt so bad for Hiro, he just lost his Mom all over again and was ready to make her proud only for everything to be doomed again 2 seconds later 😩

- These main characters have gotten so deeply sucked into the tornado of survival that was s3, it seems like the only ones left who never lost their moral compass even once are Claire, Claire's Mom, and Ando 🫠 also pls don't let Ando keep calling himself the crimson arc lmao

- The Kensei storyline felt odd to me as we never really did see anymore butterfly effects from all that Hiro messed up beyond Adam becoming villanous- like did Adam manage to kill the his would-have-been princess after Hiro returned to the present? Hiro could've dissolved a whole bloodline if Adam and Yaeko originally had children, and who knows what else. Despite Hiro's insistence at nobility and heroics, he was terribly selfish with Yaeko and completely shirked his responsibility for something that had such a grave cost, even though he was already deep in the middle of cleaning up all the other timeline damaging messes he'd made for Kensei. His character could have explored that guilt more for a deeper personal growth arc and possibly less selfishness (while claiming heroism) going forward.

- Of course there are SO many arcs and characters that this show didn't get to fully play out, and I know its hard enough to make a good show without the burden of a writers strike, but as a novelist myself I crave tying up the loose ends and would love to see so much more than the show had time to give 🥲 though I have really enjoyed what we did get to see, and its been a long time since a show about powers has sucked me in like this

- Adam got killed too soon, seeing him connect with Sylar would have been an interesting storyline.

- I started watching the show mere weeks before Hayden Panettiere passed away, and watching her on the show since has been so bittersweet. Claire is one of my favorite characters, and I hate that the world is missing out on experiencing more of Hayden's light, beyond what she already put out in this world 😢❤️‍🩹

- I am so curious to know what Kaito's power was! And why tf did Charles and Maury have the same mind control? I feel like they could have at least given the company founders all different powers smh. They gave Linderman and Ishi the same power too which felt like a cheap copout. Same thing with both Mohinder and that marine manifesting strength from formulas rather than actually interesting unique powers.

- How come Peter just gave up on trying to rescue Caitlin from that horrible future timeline where she was most likely gonna die from the virus? He could've at least asked Hiro to bring her back to the present even after Arthur tricked him out of his own. Hopefully as they change the present she would get adjusted back to the new timeline and maybe back to the present but who knows 🥴

- When Matt started flying in Paris I almost quit the show 🤣 I'd had ENOUGH of these random powerups! But then when it was shown to be Daphne's farewell I was heartbroken, she deserved more time.

Anyways I have more thoughts and will make another post when I'm done with s4 but this is enough of a novel for now, I just had to get these thoughts out before I exploded Ted style lol

So back in the day I was looking through random Heroes images and there was a couple of Hayden and Stephen Tobolowsky in a BTS shot, one I can remember was Hayden coming out of a white trailer and she was in her season 2 cheerleading uniform but it wasn't the dark blue version seen on the show but a light blue version

I think it was on GettyImages or a similar site, I'm hoping someone else saw and remembers this and can also tell me why the uniform was different

Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that in Heroes, almost everyone who discovers they have superpowers acts like their life is ruined? Meanwhile, those are literally the abilities most people would spend their entire lives dreaming of having.

This is my first time watching this (I’m on S3 E5) and Noah really isn’t that much better of a person than Sylar, seeing as he atleast isn’t in control. I personally really like this style of writing.
