Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

I don't like what Tim Kring is doing, his firing/killing of producers and characters on the show is not very welcoming. I think he should just leave them alone.

Ratings are down, but have he ever thought about these things that might bring it up without these stupid approaches?

1) Promote it better. Said it over and over. I swear, I have saw only one 1 Heroes promo all night yesterday! Next week is supposed to be one of the most interesting episodes, they just have 1 Trailer the entire night! That is PATHETIC Promotion! :| If you don't promote how the heck would people who normally not watch the show religiously know that it's great?

Is there no upcoming episodes that will be good enough to promote it? I really don't understand. How is promotion such a problem Lately?

2) Put more Powerful Minorities on the show? I know I read somewhere people complaining there are no Minorities on the show that's 'Respectable enough' the ones that are there are hated and not in it enough - like Maya and Monica.

Well, that complaint is SO true.

You gotta get more Powerful Minorities into the show. Comon, we just elected Obama as President! Get Monica back or something to KICK Butt!

The Killing of characters (like the Rumored Hiro) makes NO sense and is NOT intelligent at all! :| Hiro is probably one of the most beloved characters on the show, why don't you just make him less Wussy and more Badass instead of killing him? Another most favorite Minority gone with him killed... WTF? :|

I think for the first time I will be ignoring a user on this forum...

That's Entirely fine with me, :)

I think that's the Best/Most Mature thing to do, if you can NOT agree with another person.... SO MUCH.

Everybody is different. You are a Republican, as far as you told me, I am a Democrat so there has to be A LOT of things we can NOT agree on. Not now, not Ever. It's all Natural! Why fight it? Do you have to be right all the time, and I have to be wrong all the time? Just agree to Disagree or ignore if that concept is too difficult for you!!!

Look, I am NOT the one have problem with YOU. It's you instead, so go ahead, ignore me, I think the world would be truly a better place IF people just ignore people they don't like/agree with than resort to Personal attacks (Which IS the most immature thing a person can do)! :)

How can you promote the show now that audiences are dropping like flies?

Well, another Whole purpose of Promotion is to BRING those that have NOT seen Heroes before (NEW), rather than only show it to people watch it religiously(Old fans)!

It's pretty late into the show now so I don't think NBC will bring in tons of new viewers just by a simple promotion. It has to be word of mouth. If they're not in yet, they won't be until the show has truly ended. So if the show ends on a great note, people will buy the DVD. But I just can't see them bringing in new viewers as old ones are leaving like a stampede. The show sucks now. Simple as that.

You UNDERESTIMATE the Power of Promotion! ;) It's a Force that's proven to be very effective thruout History!

(Super Bowl Ads... One trailer on it, will gurantee that movie does VERY well, just check the facts/history that's the Truth!)

I really don't see this season as bad/sucks at all, certainly WAY better than 2nd season. A co-worker of mine also agrees this season is very good. The villians like Authur Patrilli is just COOL thing to watch! Peter had powers now taken away by this villian also his Father. It's sorta like Luke and Darth Vader relationship that's really neat, IMO

So, I don't get it... how are people saying this season sucks that bad?

Wow.... I never said I was a Republican, and I won't bother going into politics in a media forum.

Your off the wall, all over the place, sloppy posts are a pain to read. Your ideas and solutions are simply foolish. I said it before, I'm glad you aren't in a position of power in a studio, and the more you keep rambling on your emotional rants, the more you prove my point. I don't have to always be right, I don't ever act like I'm always right, but you have yet to present anything that would remotely work. Ciao Jedi.

Please don't ignore me :( ;)

All I can say is....

Rappyeh, you have 32k posts, it is impossible to ignore you.

:rofl:

I swear somewhere you did say you agree more on Republican issues these couple days or maybe it was episode, but I completely agree don't fill this forum with Politics I HATE that too, except fun stuff that's more entertainment anyways.

But The point is simple, it's just a Difference of opinion!

Look, I have really been tested and I ain't stupid at all! I have HIGH IQ, if you don't believe that, fine I am not going to force you to believe it or anything. I am really trying to be humble/modest as I can and not brag about it, but sometime people leave me NO choice but to do so...

You have to be really arrogant to think I am always wrong and you are always right than me!

I know that my opinion have A LOT of people agree with, so I don't really think everybody/You need to agree with me, but my opinion is just my opinion.

It's NOT wrong/Foolish, it's just DIFFERENT than yours :|

So, just to fairly gauge the truth if this show is really as bad as critics say it is, has there been a poll done about it to see what All fans think?

I just can't believe majority believing this seasons suck that bad, but if you can prove me wrong... show me such poll.

ive rather enjoyed all the shows, even season 2. Its better than most of the crap that is played on tv. NBC is just hurting for money, and again, will make the same mistakes in canceling a great show. Its just been on in a bad time. Writers strike, election, too many things getting in the way of the show.

This show can't be really that bad, I know some Critics seem to NOT get this show it's their fault not the show.

Like debated before here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...681692&st=0

Only thing I agree with the critic is some of the plot seem to be abandoned such as "Caitlin in the future', yeah why abandon Caitlin in the future like that, Peter? And 'Minorities need to be better', but I still don't know if that's Writer's fault or just fans' tolerance. Would fans tolerated Maya if writers plan to get this character More respectable roles?

The firing of the writers that a lot of fans are saying are the KEYSTONES of the show, and the Rumored rid of Hiro is certainly NOT intelligent at all IMO!

ONLY Minor improvement is needed, to make sense of it, to make characters Stronger/better, make Minorities likeable, etc. Certainly NOT this drastic measure of change, that may actually send this show to a quick Death rather than making it better!

I am still curious to see the poll though what majority thinks, though. Hard to believe Majority don't like it!

The main character Santiago was chosen (created) by the fans via an online promotion with Sprint and NBC.

That's probably true. Given that the formula doesn't give a specific ability, but relies on the recipient's DNA, it should, in theory, give anybody their original ability back, if it has been removed.

Unfortunately, that makes little sense to me. That would implicate that what Arthur is doing is effectively manipulating and altering his victims' DNA. Somehow, I don't think that is the case.

And I agree with number of above comments as well. Some characters need to die, Claire for an example. Hiro's death (again) is welcomed by me as well.

The other comment about other characters being too weak is true as well.

There's another comment about bringing back Monica... for what? She is entirely useless really. Her mimic ability is not going to help her fight against any strong character at all. Not like she can emulate throwing lighting, fire, mind read, telekinesis, etc. Plus she doesn't really have that "fighter" look to her anyway.

You UNDERESTIMATE the Power of Promotion! ;) It's a Force that's proven to be very effective thruout History!

So anything that is promoted becomes popular? No.

(Super Bowl Ads... One trailer on it, will gurantee that movie does VERY well, just check the facts/history that's the Truth!)

No, that isn't the truth. There have been plenty of movies advertised during the Super Bowl that have bombed.

The rest of your post was just the normal nonsensical blabber.

Unfortunately, that makes little sense to me. That would implicate that what Arthur is doing is effectively manipulating and altering his victims' DNA. Somehow, I don't think that is the case.

I think what he was trying to say is that the ability is based on an already pre-existing gene. The formula allows you to access the ability via your adrenal gland.

So anything that is promoted becomes popular? No.

No, that isn't the truth. There have been plenty of movies advertised during the Super Bowl that have bombed.

The rest of your post was just the normal nonsensical blabber.

You are right, not everything promoted becomes popular. But, it depends on HOW it's done.

(MOST of Super Bowl ads do very well, with very FEW exceptions (probably these movies do not Appeal to the mass...)

When you get right down to it, it depends on 1) What type of Movie/show it is 2) which audience it targets. 3) How the trailer/promo is edited/Produced.

1 An Unexciting movie ifself will not interest people NO matter what, BUT I think a show such as Heroes defininitely appeal MORE though.

2 The thing that bugs me so much when during SNL and President election, they didn't really Promote next monday/future pisodes of Heroes a lot, is actually that A LOT of viewers can be Potential viewers that NEVER heard of Heroes before! (18 and older Demographic) they let it pass.

3 You still have to put out a very effective trailer that's exciting, or something that can LURE people in.

A trailer that need to be Powerful/Exciting either in the Action aspect, or Emotion aspect...

TBH, lately I haven't felt the trailer/promotion power of Heroes at all. It seems to me, Nothing Cool/Awesome is upcoming up in the future! All I know is that Papa petrilli's past/event before heroes is revealed, but certainly not Emotional enough or action-packed enough.

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
