Comments on: Why Heroes was Cancelled–and Deserved It! http://www.allthatnerdystuff.com/2010/05/17/why-heroes-was-cancelled-and-deserved-it/ For when gadgets & doodads make you wet your pants Tue, 25 May 2010 02:47:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: Jason Ward http://www.allthatnerdystuff.com/2010/05/17/why-heroes-was-cancelled-and-deserved-it/#comment-207 Jason Ward Tue, 25 May 2010 02:33:44 +0000 http://www.allthatnerdystuff.com/?p=299#comment-207 Although I don't think that's a major reason why the show was cancelled, I agree with you that it IS a major failing of the show as a storytelling vehicle, particularly one that claims to be about HEROES. I'm OK with an exploration of the morally gray--it's appropriate given that life has so much of it--but without major touchstones of Good and Evil to play against each other across that field of gray, it becomes very difficult to enjoy characters and story arcs on that front. I don't remember the bit about the fake Mr. Linderman, though, nor the reference to "invisible." Can you elaborate? Thanks! Great to hear from you! --Jason Although I don’t think that’s a major reason why the show was cancelled, I agree with you that it IS a major failing of the show as a storytelling vehicle, particularly one that claims to be about HEROES.

And you forgot all of the plot-holes. How did a fake Mr. Lenderman (invisible) have the ability to heal, etc etc etc Also, the show had no morals, and I’m NOT OK with morally gray.
