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

* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Future Peter vs Future Sylar... Offscreen.

** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4860110/10/Heroes_Abridged_With_Commentary_Genesis Heroes Abridged] had fun with this:

* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Sylar does this ''a lot'', so much so that it's kind of become his signature move. Also, to a lesser extent, the rest of the cast seem to have the ability to make long cross-country trips in an abnormally short period of time.

* [[Oireland]]: Peter's subplot at the beginning of Volume Two. You know... maybe we [[Dork Age|shouldn't have brought it up again]]...

** In Volume 3, the look on Bennet's face {{spoiler|after he realizes that Peter is no longer possessing Jesse.}}

** Likewise, in Volume 4, {{spoiler|after Sylar decides he's had enough of Danko's crap and isn't willing to play along anymore, Danko casually stabs Sylar in his weak spot when he's not paying attention, seemingly killing him. Just as Danko turns to walk away, Sylar rises up from the ground and looms over Danko, clear very much annoyed at just having been backstabbed. The look on Danko's face is simply ''priceless''.}}

** And ''again'' in the Volume 4 finale, {{spoiler|when it looks like Sylar's plan to get close to the President so that he can shapeshift into him is about to succeed, we find out that he can't because it's actually Peter, who stole his ability earlier and in turn stabs Sylar with a tranquilizer. The look on Sylar's face shows that he's finally been owned after 3 seasons of fighting him with no clear winner, followed by a [[Badass]] quote from Peter:}}

** In the Volume 5 preview, {{spoiler|[[Replacement Goldfish|Sythan]] looks at a clock and remarks on how it's going a few minutes fast, with Angela Petrelli waiting for him at the door so they can go to lunch. The "''FUCK''." expression on Ma Petrelli's face is a classic.}}

* [[One Degree of Separation]]

* [[Plenty of Blondes]]: Six of eight of the white women from season three are applicable. Four have bright blond hair, and the two others have goldenrod hair.

** Lampshaded in-universe by Meredith, who is blonde, when she is reunited with Nathan and meets Tracy, who had accompanied him and is also blonde. She's both skeptical and highly amused when Tracy denies being with Nathan.

* [[Plot Induced Stupidity]]: Pretty much everybody, but Hiro Nakamura takes the cake - with his powers to travel through time / freeze time, there isn't in theory any villain he couldn't defeat or any situation he couldn't save. Hell, if you raise a whole army against him he can go back in time to the day before you started to raise an army, freeze time and kill you while you're taking a piss. So far there hasn't been a season finale climax / final confrontation which couldn't have been avoided had Hiro simply <s> used his powers well</s> had a brain.

** My personal favourite is in volume 5, when Hiro goes back in time to save Charlie, does, by showboating his powers in front of Sylar. Then, Samuel kidnaps Charlie. Oh no, I better obey his wishes rather than go back in time to save Charlie, which I just did 5 minutes ago. To be fair, Hiro’s powers were malfunctioning but he still managed to travel back in time for Samuel in hopes it would help him rescue Charlie.

* [[Preemptive Apology]]: Hiro (to Tracy): * bows* "Sorry" * whack!*

* [[Preemptive Declaration]]: From early in the third volume, when Hiro meets [[Super Speed|Daphne]] after she compromises his time-stop:

'''Hiro:''' But... I ''am'' on my feet. }}

* [[Professor Guinea Pig]] ({{spoiler|Mohinder}})

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

*** See The Eclipse Part 1 where he persuades Nathan to fly him along to Haiti.

'''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]]).
