      (Although, unless they changed it in S2, they did obviously nerf Alison's power greatly from the comic -- it's not reality warping, just mind control)

      eh, it's a weird one though, because she can tell people to do stuff that they cannot possibly do, as in the s2 premiere when she melts some dudes' skulls

      They play around with the powers quite a bit. Alison never does the brains-blowing-up thing after the S2 premiere, and Diego's telekinesis gets a major upgrade just when the gang needs it.

      when the swedes came for vanya i expected she was going to crater half the state, not just knock down some corn and send them running here we see an extremely common failure mode for superhero stories, "the powers we gave to the character do not suit the plot we have in mind"

      heroes had the especial problem of accidentally hiring ringer Zachary Quinto to play their main villain he was so clearly meant to die in the s1 finale, but they decided to keep him on because, you know, quinto that worked out real well.

      To be slightly fair, the original plan was to start the next season with a completely different cast, but the network nixed it. But yes, the increasingly desperate attempts to do something new with Sylar because they weren't willing to lose Quinto were hard to watch.

      This is kind of like what happened with Cristin Milioti on HIMYM You build all this hype around an unseen character and decide that to justify this hype you'd better cast someone who can knock it out of the park

      And you SUCCEED, and then are cursed by this success Because the entire balance of the show was initially based on this character not being there, and now that they're drawing all this attention and taking over the show it's messing up that balance royally

      Like how the Mother completely destroyed any hope of the audience still being invested in Ted/Robin shipping Sylar becoming essentially the main character made a joke of everyone else's arc, especially the actual intended main character Peter

          See, I'm the rare person who thinks the ending to HIMYM worked, precisely because we got to spend a season with Milioti's character and saw parts of her relationship with Ted. While the previous seasons had laid a foundation for Ted & Robin at a later point in their lives.

          There are lots of other problems with the show - it obviously should have run for 5-6 seasons, not 8 - but the idea of introducing the mother and flashing forward to her and Ted's relationship doesn't feel like one them to me.

          lol, peter, a serious case of Generic White Boy syndrome, in which someone somewhere decided to build an interesting world and populate it with interesting people and then let the story focus on the most water-cracker white boy possible because he's A Protagonist

          He's literally defined by being able to take other people's traits. It's like the show was making a metaphor.

          The first season was more of an ensemble piece, whereas later on the focus shrank to the Petrellis/Sylar being the only important characters. Peter didn't feel as boring when he was balanced out by other characters, but when the focus was just on him and ZQ it was a big mismatch
