No Heroics kinda sucks
Oct. 1st, 2008 01:43 pmI was admittedly a little enthusiastic about No Heroics when I initially heard about it.
Two episodes in, though, it's pretty lame. The first one had only one good scene, with SheForce and Time-Bomb's discussion of her romantic prospects being carried along pretty much solely by the actors' own presence, and the now immortal "Handjob and a pizza" hand gestures.
The second episode was slightly better, which isn't so impressive considering how flat the first one fell. We learned some background of some of the characters (She-Force and Electroclash used to be partners), The Hotness continued to be stymied by Excelsor, and TimeBomb got a blowjob in a bathroom stall.
The Hotness managed to be a little sympathetic instead of just completely pathetic, although that role in this episode seemed to be taken up by the fanclub. Oh, that was kind of sad.
I guess it's a side effect of actually having read the source material, much like with Heroes. "Hey, look," they say, "superheroes can be dicks! Wow, eh?" Unaware of most of what came out in the '90s, or the Ultimate line, or even Superdickery.com.
I honestly want to see what happens when Monkeythunder uses his powers, but that many monkeys would probably double their budget.
