Heroes (TV series)/Tropes J-P: Difference between revisions

* [[Karma Houdini]]: It seems that the universe is bending over backwards to let Sylar be his dastardly brain-and-power-stealing self. In Volume 3, {{spoiler|he worked for The Company. Because the Company has shown itself in the past to not associate with dangerous psychos at all...}}

** Later, he was {{spoiler|working with the "villains", and somehow this only makes him more of a good guy}}. Sylar is the moral equivalent of a [[Timey-Wimey Ball]].

** {{spoiler|Six weeks after mind-wiping Sylar, Angela Petrelli seems thus far to have escaped full retribution...}}

** {{spoiler|As of episode "The Wall", we can probably remove Sylar from the Karma Houdini list. Several years (relative time) of complete and utter isolation? When solitary confinement can be used as a means of torture just over the course of days? And when you add in the fact that they listed his single worst fear as being alone forever and then having his arch-rival stuck in his head? Yeah, we can argue Sylar is getting his payback}}.

* [[No Name Given]]: The Haitian, even in a story arc that took place ''in Haiti''.

** Except that in "Shadowboxing", Claire calls him René. Presumably, everyone on the show learned this offscreen.

* [[The Not Love Interest|The Not-Love Interest]]: Most of the characters have one, and the relationships tend to drive a large part of the plot. In contrast to love interests, who [[Cartwright Curse|tend not to stick around very long]].

** Ando for Hiro.

* [[Psychological Torment Zone]]: Maury and {{spoiler|Sylar}}'s mental prisons.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Sylar is shown to have shades of this as he enjoys toying around with everyone before launching into a bloodbath and Elle is a much straighter female example. No wonder the two of them hooked up.

** [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|And Sylar]]. [http://i47.tinypic.com/2ecpz6h.png Serial killers should not look this cute].

** Also Peter, when he's <s> trying to convince</s> convincing Nathan to go along with one of [[Idiot Hero|his ideas.]]

{{quote|'''Peter''': "take me?"

'''Nathan''': "no."

'''Nathan''': "seriously, you're pulling the... ... ...asdfghjkl... grrgh, OK then :: fume ::".}}

* [[Put on a Bus]]: Man, they're bad about this. Zach, West, Molly, and Monica with no ceremony at all (Micah at least got a few brief cameos and West's departure was given a "aw, he and Claire broke up" [[Hand Wave]]). Also Caitlin, in the cruelest possible way. And Claude, who just ran out and was never seen again ([[Invisibility|for obvious reasons]]).

** The episode "Let It Bleed" addresses the situation with West. Claire tells Peter that he goes to NYU and they're friends on Facebook.

** Zach is kind of justified as the Bennetts moved to California and changed their name. It would make sense that they would have cut all ties with him, not only for their safety, but for his because if the company found out that he knew about Clair...
