To drive it home further. Surfers abilities make him think and calculate faster than any supercomputer. So don't compare a regular guy using his POWERS even if it's not the one you'd prefer. In the heat of battle to someone who can think thousands of times more thana human being per second. Also Hiros physical appearance has nothing to do with his abilities. Don't let your hatred of the show blind you.


What I'm saying is if you're fast enough to stop bullets, you're fast enough to take a step a to the left when someone tries to stab you but that isn't even the point.

You're saying PIS doesn't exist in Heroes. I'm saying it does. It does in practically every episode. It's unavoidable in anything that has to do with superpowers.

Plot Induced Stupidity, or PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills to the fullest extent as shown before

What you're describing is PIS. What I'm describing is PIS. What you're trying to argue now is which is a bigger example of PIS than the other.

At what point did I say PIS doesn't exist in Heroes? In fact if you read what I've written I even said that it's there. So don't say I said otherwise. I just said it's not on the scale of comic books. When a mere human being with many powers to choose from using the wrong one i might be more understanding.

When something that verges on Godlike does though it's not understandable. Something that could think a thousand times more information than you per second should more or less always come up with the right choice.

Along these lines, I was originally upset when the Justice League cartoons were ridiculously underpowered (later seasons became truer to the comics). But then I was like "Hell, it doesn't seem so bad that they don't end every conflict in 2 seconds." It was actually more enjoyable when Superman couldn't just speedblitz entire compounds of enemies or something similar.

Can't say I have any interest in arguing semantics with you.

Though it took me a while to get used to Superman on his animated series, that he wasn't so be-all-end-all did make him a more interesting character.

Mmmm…you have to accept the shitty writing, when you step into cosmic characters, especially when said plot/characters comes from Marvel/DC.

Otherwise take a look at some indies or non mainstream illustrations. I suggest Solar Man of Atom, or Watchmen. Personally I enjoy Spawn (sans issue 164) and the Shaman run on X-Man (64-75).

If not be prepared, to be let down time and time again.

Ya once spawn became god and created a new earth with MoM it should be the end of the series imo. That kind of leap for a character should sum up the end. Closing the gates of heaven and hell and for the most part making the earth a better place to live because now people know what's at stake.
