Heroes (TV series)/Tropes A-E: Difference between revisions

Line 63:

* [[Bad Future]]: Once a season. (Note: Season, not Volume.) In a possible example of [[You Can't Fight Fate]], pretty early in Volume Four it becomes clear that {{spoiler|the Volume One [[Bad Future]] is turning into the Bad Present.}}

** Likewise, Volume Five offers hints that {{spoiler|Samuel may have played a hand in Volume Three's [[Bad Future]].}}

* [[Bad Powers, Bad People]] Both subverted and played straight -- with [[Walking Wasteland|Walking Wastelands]] Ted (and those that copied his power) and Maya, the blackhole-producing Stephen Canfield, and Sylar whose power comes prepackaged with a compulsion to take things (and people) apart to see how they work.

** A few episodes of volume 4 and the webisode "Nowhereman" indicate the same is true of creepy puppetmaster Eric Doyle.

** With the Webisode series over we've seen that Doyle, while not pure evil as he first appeared, is far from a hero. Even when he does good things he does them in a bad way and he's creepy as hell while he does it.

Line 204:

** Happens to {{spoiler|Nathan/Sylar}} twice in a single episode. Sorta.

* [[Cult]]: The Sullivan Bros. Carnival is run like one, complete with references to "the family," religious trappings, isolation, physical labor for no pay, and, of course, a charismatic leader with self-proclaimed prophetic abilities (which, unlike in real life, happen to be real).

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: ~~Plenty, the best in my opinion being when Claire wakes up on the autopsy table...~~

* [[Curse Cut Short]]:

** When Claire wakes up on the autopsy table... ("Holy sh-").

** Hiro...YOU SON OF A BI....

** Hiro... YOU SON OF A BI...

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Claire's healing powers, whilst meaning she'll have a long life, mean she can't get drunk!

* [[Cut Short]]: The final scene sets up a Season 5 (Volume 6). But the low ratings made NBC think otherwise.
