Heroes TV series, is this a brilliant piece of allegory, or just mindless sci-fi bunkum?

Question

I think people like Jimwon are struggling somewhat with the allegorical aspect of my question..

Answer 1

All I can clarify is that Milo Ventimiglia is hot. Fact.

Answer 2

IT's OK-ish, but shamelessly rips off other, better sci-fi shows all the time. And X-men.

Watch Odyssey 5 - now that was good. Or Firefly - both waaay better than heroes, both cancelled after one season.

Answer 3

Super heroes are awesome dude. Awesome. You should probably start carrying around a copy of Dr. Strange with you, just in case you ever forget that super heroes are awesome. Remember dude, awesome.

And I think your struggling somewhat with the sheer awesomeness of super heroes.

Answer 4

I think it has aspirations to the former, but is closer to the latter. Saying that, it is not completely mindless and opens up some interesting questions about evolution, morality and why on earth Peter Petrelli is suddenly topless in Series 2 more often clothed (not that I'm complaining, its just pointless!)

Answer 5

Mindless sci-fi bunkum... :)

When i first watched it i was a bit into it, but then nearly everyone started to have all these different powers, then it just got silly...x
