WHEN ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS PLEASE WRITE YOUR ANSWER UNDER THE QUESTION, AND LEAVE THE QUESTIONS THERE.
DON’T DELETE THE QUESTIONS WHEN ANSWERING PLEASE!!!
These are preliminary questions to see how many responses I get. If I think up new questions I'll add them.
If YOU think up a question that YOU would love to see in the article, PLEASE PM ME WITH IT SO I CAN ADD IT TO THE LIST!!!!!!! It doesn't matter if you love the show, or hate the show; I’m looking for a variety of answers from many different types of people. Thanks!
Questions in no particular order:
Do you actually like the show? (Please explain your answer thoroughly whether it be yes or no) I don't love it yet, I like where they are going, but I feel like the first arc really hasen't been completed, If you've ever read J.Michael Strazinski(sp?) you know what I'm talking about when I say all the buildup in the world can become meaningless in the blink of an eye. I felt like they ended the first half of the season on a really good note, I was really exited for the next episode weekly for about the last 4 weeks.
How would you describe the people that watch Heroes?
This is a tough question, I guess my only comment would be I don't think it's limited to comic book readers by any means.
Is there anything you would change about the show if you could?
Besides remove Nikki? I'd trash the webcomic, or make it easier to download on PDF format, I just rember having a hell of a time with it. Flash would be a good way to do it also, I dunno I only tried it once but the experence was horrible, and it was disapointing seeing as they covered a lot of backstory in them, and Micheal Turner did some of the artwork.
OH, and Hire
David Mack OR
ANDY LEE!! to do the paintings for the Artist!
You’ve already listed you favorite and least favorite Heroes…why did you choose those two? What have they got that the others haven’t?
I like Peter Because I like the character design, I like the way he looks, he actually had a almost comic like look when he showed up in Texas, and he's easy to relate to. Nikki just bores me as of yet she has little to do with the Sylar storyline, and I've never liked the inner battle between personalities, it's done all the time, but extremely rarely done correctly, funny thing is it's been done the best with The Incredible Hulk, which in a way she is a complete clone of.
Where do you usually watch the show? Do you watch it with friends?
I Tivo it, because I'm almost always at work when it's actually on, I'll watch it while LFP or sometimes I'll put it off a week and marathon it with my roommate (which is more exiting, watchin a couple at once)
What are your favorite/least favorite things about the show? (Two parts, answer both. Can be as long as you want) You know certian kinds of art lend themselves to only certian kinds of stories, the decision to go with a Frank Miller type art style for 'the artist's' paintings was a bad one imo. I like The three faction type situation, you have the heros, you have sylar and you have whatever oganization it is that Claire's dad works for, it's more intriguing than one v. one
How much time do you spend going over little details in the show (such as finding all the little markings on the characters)? I post in the thread here but thats really it, I'd hardly say I'm obsessed with the show, I tried to read the web comic once but the page was slow as hell and my old resolution was Horrible for it. I might try it again this spring when the episodes start airing, we will see.
What do you think of Heroes popularity? It recently won a People’s Choice Award, and has some of the highest ratings in the fall.
It's new, it has a lot of publicity behind it, I'd be more interested to see how it fairs in the second half
Are you going to be watching the second half of the season that starts Jan. 22nd?
yes
What do you think is going to happen to the characters? Any predictions for the upcoming episodes?
I expect the Hulk coralations with Nikki to become more and more apparent as they form a group, I wouldn't be suprised at all if at some point they decide they have to 'contain' her and then in desprate times decide the need to 'turn her loose' as the lesser of two evils, but that might not even be season 1, I also expect Peter's brother(forget name) to be evil at some point
What is the most important thing to you when you’re watching Heroes? Least important?
I don't understand the question sorry
Did you have another T.V. show you watched on Mondays that you’ve given up watching to dedicate to Heroes?
I have Tivo lol, I used to watch Psych on Monday Nights the current episode re-airs after RAW but now I just Tivo it on fridays
Do you read comic books? If so, do you find any similarities between the characters in the show, and characters from those comic books?
Nikki=Hulk done wrong
Peter is kinda like Kitty Pride to mein a lot of ways. Just the way he is so anxious, and feels a scence of responsibility about evrything, but with diffrent powers obviosly.
Thats about it, I don't really read superhero comics anymore...
How do the characters appeal to a common college audience? Why are some Heroes (such as Hiro) much more popular than other Heroes (such as Nikki)?
Inner conflict works so much better with thought bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! punctuation added for empasis.
Which characters do you think are good, or evil? Why?
This is a Magnito like situation, I think Mr.Bennett belives in the extermination or control of all mutants, depending on the angle you look at it, he's not really all that bad.
Sylar and Peter's brother on the other hand either currently use their powers for personal gain or will in the future.
And lastly Nikki at one point will be 'sort of' evil, in the form of tantrums by her 'other half'
Do you GEEK out about the show? If so, in what ways?
while I'm usually LFP while watching, I guess thats pretty bad, but otherwise not really.
*** FUN QUESTIONS!!!!! *** These can be as short or as long as you want them to be, just try to make them interesting and entertaining!
If you could have a special power, what would it be and why?
I've always wanted to write a comic about a shape shifter who used it to get laid 24/7 but then X-files beat me to it, but seriously, probly flight, it's simple, but man it would be so limitlessly cool
Would you use this power for good or for evil?
Convience
Would you try to keep your power a secret?
Well probly, but only because of how uncommon it would be, but eventually people would find out, cause if I could fly, I'm not barring myself from using it during the day, that would be too much of a waste.
~Add anything else in this section you can think of. Anything at all about the kind of Superhero you would be. Would you wear a costume, would you want all the hot chicks, would you want to kill everyone? Would you want to dominate the world? Why? Just try to fill out this part and make it funny and entertaining!
