Reboots That Should've Never Been Made: "Heroes: Reborn"

[JamesG]

This one's got us stumped: why reboot a show considered a failure to begin with?

By now, everyone knows the original "Heroes" could've been a contender with its strong casting, good performances, and great logline ("save the cheerleader/save the world") — it just never really soared. Maybe this reboot was an attempt to right the wrongs?

And everyone deserves a second chance, even Evos ("evolved humans," aka regular folks with superpowers)... right?




Well the non-Evos of the world would disagree, which is the main plotline of the show. From Illinois to Japan, Los Angeles to Austin, various characters with various powers criss-cross the show like Charlie Day's red-string-riddled conspiracy board.

By keeping things so opaque, tangled, and confusing, the writers of "Heroes Reborn" cut the audience's connection to the characters — and gave this reboot the kiss of death.
