{{work}}
* [[Better Onon DVD]]? Though some say watching it on DVD makes you much more aware of the myriad of plot holes and aborted arcs and inconsistencies that watching it slowly one week at a time would eliminate.
* [[Broken Base]]: The Nathan and Sylar fans exited in droves and were baying for blood after the volume 4 finale. Those who weren't hopelessly confused, that is. And really, anything related to Sylar has this effect. That's because he's a [[Creator's Pet]] to half the fanbase and the [[Draco in Leather Pants|best thing on the show]] [[Base Breaker|to the other half.]]
** Another case comes in those who wish it had ended after Season 1, those who wish it had after the second, etc.
Line 49:
** [[It Got Worse]]: After the entire carnival loses respect for him, he wins it back by {{spoiler|murdering Lydia and blaming Noah for it.}}
* [[MST3K Mantra]] - It's often easier to enjoy the show for the lulz than taking it seriously.
* [[Pandering to Thethe Base]]: And HOW.
* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Volume Five is trying its hardest to do this for everyone. (And it seems to be succeeding for several characters so far.)
** {{spoiler|Superspeed knife fight! Okay, Peter, you're cool again.}}
** Shooting {{spoiler|Sylar in the balls with a nail gun}} also helped.
* [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]: West and Claire in Volume 2.
* [[Rooting for Thethe Empire]] - The villains / morally grey characters in this show tend to be the most popular because the [[Designated Hero|heroes]] [[Too Dumb to Live|are complete morons.]]
* [[Snark Bait]]: There are entire LJ communities in which getting together every Monday night to watch Heroes - for the sole purpose of giving it the [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]] treatment - has become a ritual and a bonding experience. Wet Sylar, Carniawarts, Clairiett Tubman, Sylar Durden, Rainbow Brite Girl, Gretchward Cullen - we salute you.
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: It slowly became obvious that the main characters of the show would be the Petrelli family (and by extension Claire and Noah Bennet), and Sylar. This became more evident with Sylar as the show's DVD releases went from a shadowy depiction of his face to him standing in the middle of the cover.
* [[Strangled Byby the Red String]]: {{spoiler|Matt Parkman and Daphne Millbrook in Volume Three. Exactly ''what'' do these two characters have in common again?}}
** Which she just acknowledged herself.
*** {{spoiler|Actually, she didn't. She repeated the erroneous statement that Matt's vision was only a "dream." Not only did Angela see the same future, but Peter was actually *in* it. What she said was either 1) wrong or 2) a retcon.}}
Line 156:
** However, Samuel Sullivan is a twist: Although Magneto's desire to eliminate humanity for the good of the superpowered mutants is genuine (in most mediums, anyways), Sullivan himself pretty much fabricated that belief, not really caring one bit for his mutants and is only recruiting them so he could have his powers ascend to godlike levels.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Perhaps the least liked villan on the show. Has the highest ratio of episodes/lack of intrest
** Not a chance. [[Invincible Villain|Arthur]] [[Orcus Onon His Throne|Petrelli]] is ''definitely'' the show's [[Scrappy]] villain, as boring as Samuel's plotline got.

Daphne Millbrook
* [[Strangled Byby the Red String]] - And ''how''. Even she realizes it! {{spoiler|And then she dies.}}
 
Sparrow Redhouse
Line 209:
 
Mr Muggles
* [[Memetic Badass]] - [[Xanatos Roulette|The entire series so far is]] [[Death Note (Manga)|Exactly As Planned]] by Mr. Muggles.
