I like both shows but Heroes doesn’t seem very conservative to me. I mean, the whole mutants wrongly being hauled around in orange terrorist jumpsuits? And the crazy government soldier guys?
“the whole mutants wrongly being hauled around in orange terrorist jumpsuits?”
I don’t watch Heroes, but why is it that when you peel back all the layers of bad guys in 24, it’s always the white male at the core? This year it’s the Blackwater look-alike, Starkwood, that’s doing anything for profit.
Sounds like MoveOn’s been scripting this one...
Try this parallel...the "heroes" are those who work hard and prosper - "the haves." The crazy government soldier guys are Nancy, Barney, Harry, Chuck and Timmy plus the rest of OreoBama's crew, who want to take "the haves" out of circulation until they can determine how to protect the "have nots" from them.
To be honest, I though mutants being wrongly hauled around by crazed soldier types was just some sort of inevitability in comic books involving mutants... and, I doubt it really is the government involved since that’s way too vague and impersonal of an enemy for the show, I think it’s someone (probably someone we’ve already met) taking advantage of Nathan so they can use government resources, and by and large, the government doesn’t know what’s really going on.
I can’t get into Heroes. I tried but once I can’t get into it, it is very difficult for me to try again...24 is AWESOME. However, I can’t watch it week to week so I always by the DVDs when they come out and watch the entire thing in a weekend or two (thank God wife loves it too. lol).
Heroes is not 24. Never viewed it as a having a conservative theme. Still don’t.
