INSIDER WORD: "NOT 'Cancelled'."

Crap is cancelled. Nothing to see
Here. Move along.

Yeah,

When I first found about that they were doing Reborn, I was excited, but after episode one I was let down. But I still decided to stay with it since I stuck with it even in the original's Dark Ages (Heroes Season 2 and 3), hoping it would get better.

But it didn't get better. I have to confess, I didn't expect it to quite to be the level the original's Season 1, but I was still hoping for some sort of moments of excitement/firepower that was still in Seasons 2 & 3 (even though the writing was a mess during those seasons).

The show just felt boring in most cases, with very few brief parts that were good.


I agree with what you've said about it no longer having the muscle of those Marvel/DC TV shows. I have watched/am currently watching the following:

- Marvel's Agents of Shield
- Marvel's Daredevil
- Marvel's Jessica Jones
- Arrow
- Flash
- Supergirl
- Constantine
- Gotham


Sure, some of the above shows are better than others, and some are considerably lacking in quality than others, but even the shows which are a bit lacking in quality, I do still find considerable moments which I still enjoy (and also, as matter of fact, some shows have gotten better in quality as they went through seasons).

Reborn felt nothing like that. It felt like a lot of what made the original (especially season 1) series was no longer there, and some weird things were replaced in (one of which was the Katana Girl, why was she even in this in the first place? The whole time they spent on developing her as character, who wasn't even an EVO at all, they could have spent developing other existing characters, or some new characters with some pretty cool powers).


I don't know.....Maybe if they fired Kring and replaced him with Bryan Fuller (since he's part of the reason Season 1 was so successful, and is known to write quality work), maybe they have a chance. But I just don't see that happening.


Maybe instead of trying to beat a dead horse, they should just leave it be - like you've said, mercy killing.

OFFICIAL MESSAGE FROM TIM KRING
“I want to sincerely thank all of our fantastic ‘Heroes Reborn’ fans for watching our latest volume. Our entire team here couldn't be more thrilled that you are going to finally get to see the series finale tonight -- the biggest episode ever in the ‘Heroes’ saga to date. I’ve said from the beginning that ‘Heroes Reborn’ would be 13 episodes long, with a beginning, middle and end. I know word has been circulating that ‘Heroes Reborn’ has been ‘canceled,’ but I want to assure you that tonight’s finale is exactly the ending we’ve had planned from the very beginning. I’ve also stated that if there was going to be more story, it would not be part of ‘Heroes Reborn,’ but rather some future volume with a brand new story. Let me just say clearly for the record — the ‘Heroes’ universe is designed to be large and multi-platformed. ‘Heroes Reborn’ alone now includes six novellas, a series of comic books from Titan Publishing, and our two new games ‘GEMINI - Heroes Reborn’ (on Xbox now, releasing on all other console and PC platforms next week) and ‘Heroes Reborn ENIGMA’ (available on mobile and tablet). I think you will see that tonight’s final episode clearly leaves the door open for us to tell more stories within the ‘Heroes’ saga. We would be honored if you came along for that ride with us when we do. Until then I want to offer my heartfelt gratitude to the many fans of ‘Heroes’ and ‘Heroes Reborn’ for your loyal and unwavering support. Stay tuned. There is more to come.”
-Tim Kring
Some points to note:
1) This message is directly from Tim Kring. Not his agent. Not the Heroes PR department. Not NBC. Kring.
2) Though other major news outlets will be picking it up, Kring is speaking directly to the Fans. He gave the information directly to the Vox as well as TV Guide.
3) Note the bold and italics. “When” we tell the saga, not “if.” “There is more to come.” That pretty much speaks for itself.

No more posts about "Season 2" or "cancellation" or "What would have happened if it hadn't been cancelled." Posts of this nature will be deleted without warning.
1) Reborn was always a mini-series,
2) You can't "cancel" a mini-series,
3) Only Tim fully knows what his next move will be
4) NBC has left the door wide open for more Heroes
5) Unless you are one of the writers or producers for the show YOU DO NOT KNOW what was discussed about the story or future stories, stop stating opinion as fact and stop posting articles about it.

It is cancelled, because ut sucked. Thats it.


Also, Buffy was never cancelled. So whats up with that.?😐
