Heroes (TV series)/Tropes F-I: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

* [[Faking the Dead]]: Arthur Petrelli

* [[Fallen Princess]]: Claire

* [[Family Versus Career]] As a part of Samuel's plan to manipulate Hiro, he hides Charlie in 1944 Wisconsin. Since Charlie's power is perfect memory, and she had spent the 6 months prior to her appearance learning everything there is to know about everything, she's basically a walking [[Timeline Altering MacGuffin]]. Despite being in a unique position to manipulate world events (or at very least make herself fantastically rich), she chooses instead to be Rosie the Riveter and raise kids. The fact that the character had incredible [[Mundane Utility]] but never thought to use it in any way but being a better manual laborer stretches into [[Unfortunate Implications]] territory.

* [[The Family for The Whole Family]]: The [[Oireland|Oirish]] mob in Season 2.

* [[Fandom Nod]]: Sylar explains that he, in fact, does NOT eat brains.

Line 24:

* [[Fight Unscene]]: Happens three times in "Five Years Gone": twice when Future!Hiro and Future!Peter square off against the cops and once when Future!Sylar and Future!Peter have their big showdown.

** They pull the "seen only through a crack in the door" trick again in the Volume Four finale, when Nathan and Peter fight Sylar.

* [[Finger Snap Lighter]]: Meredith, and anyone with fire based powers.

* [[Finger-Snap Lighter]]: Meredith, and anyone with fire based powers.

* [[Fingore]]: There's a scene in which Claire cuts off one of her toes. Sure, it regenerates soon after, but the whole thing's just so damn graphic.

* [[Flanderization]]: ... ''EVERYONE''.

Line 71:

* [[Glasses Pull|Glasses Push]]: Hiro

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Ted, Peter, and Sylar get the glowy eyes when they're about to ''explode.''

* [[Goo Goo Godlike]]: Baby Touch n'Go.

* [[Goo-Goo Godlike]]: Baby Touch n'Go.

* [[Good Feels Good]] - {{spoiler|or so Sylar tells Peter...}}

* [[Good Powers, Bad People]]: Linderman.

Line 122:

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Mohinder Suresh ''embodies'' this trope. Maya is even worse.

* [[Horror Hunger]]

* [[Hot Blooded]]: Peter Petrelli

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Peter Petrelli

* [[How Do I Shot Web]]: Peter. Oh, the number of time he tries. It gets depressing.

* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Peter. Oh, the number of time he tries. It gets depressing.

* [[How Do You Like Them Apples]] - "Forbidden fruit. My favorite kind."

* [[How Do You Like Them Apples?]] - "Forbidden fruit. My favorite kind."

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Matt and Daphne, Sylar and Elle, West and Claire. Actually, most couples on the show would qualify.

* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: Happens to Hiro at one point.

Line 131:

** Beforehand, Hiro was persuaded by the carnival guy that he can change the timeline without doing too much damage. A few episodes later, the carnival guy tells Hiro that saving Charlie would screw up history...and he believed him despite that other encounter where the carnival guy says the opposite thing.

** Another moment when Matt decides to drink himself into a stupor to shut out Sylar's voice, which does work, but results in {{spoiler|Sylar being able to take over Matt's body}}. A case of a plan backfiring. Sure, not even the audience saw it coming, but still.

** Then there's Mohinder, who pulls a move straight out of [[Bio Shock|Bioshock's]] playbook, and ''[[What an Idiot!|injects himself with an untested serum for superpowers.]]'' Then, he, a scientist, is [[Did You Actually Believe|horrified]] when it doesn't work. No, seriously, Mohinder. There ''is'' a reason for the scientific method. And human testing laws. And psyche evaluations.

No, seriously, Mohinder. There ''is'' a reason for the scientific method. And human testing laws. And psyche evaluations.

*** And how does Modinder decide to fix his little problem? Well obviously by kidnapping people to experiment on.

** Think of what Peter, Nathan, and Claire could have learned if they'd actually sat down and ''talked to each other'' at the end of ".07%"! Bonus points if they'd thought to bring Mohinder into the conversation, or, you know, '''[[Manipulative Bastard|their mom]]'''!
