Missed the first 30-40 minutes. Really didn't care for none of the supporting characters. Summer Glau didnt do much for me. I'll watch one or two more episodes.

this show suck diddly ucked! the hero is constantly getting his ass handed to him. It's like a really really really bad batman. He totally reminds me of Mysterion from south park! the only thing worth while to watch on this show is Summer Glau. but unfortanetly everything she has been in has been in has been cancelled she just can't get a break to be in a show that lasts a few seasons.

I saw Part 1, and I'm not sure why it's HATED, but I will agree that it has a hell of a lot of problems. I see what it is trying to do, but the biggest issue (no pun intended) is that it is incredibly generic. The main villain has no reason to really exist, the plot is too straightforward, and the hero is too cookie cutter, as are the sidekicks.
What bothers me is how shows like these were made by "comic fans (many claiming Silver Age)," and yet the cliches and tropes they use are not actually in the classic comics, especially Silver Age. Older comics were extremely fantastical with no precise stream of ideas, and while there were definitely "Villains of the month," the villains were normally extremely original and fun, even when the power was done by another villain previously. Shows like "The Cape" think comics are straightforward, when really they're the opposite.
The episode "Scales" was quite an improvement. There are still problems, but not as many, now with the addition of good moments. Vinnie Jones was really over-the-top, but it made for some fun scenes. I'd say that this show is a guilty pleasure or a weekday morning viewer, and I will tune in from time to time.
