Justice for Isaac Mendez: Why Heroes? Why Now?

First off you may be wondering: "Why Heroes? Why Now?" Well I'll tell you why...there has been a grave injustice done to one of the most central characters of the series. Yes, series, not first season. I'm a first time watcher, yes, in the year 2024. I need no judgement. It takes me a while to move on from one show obsession to the next. Although, I can't say I'm obsessed with Heroes just yet. There are some questionable moments that just got me thinking: "Do other people feel this way?” “Was Tumblr around in 2006?” “What would everyone's popular opinions have been?” I'm mid-way through Season 4 at the moment and the only thing I can think about when I watch the show is..."Justice for Isaac Mendez". I believe he was a character with such great potential that was never fully realized. And, then when we thought he had a grasp on his abilities he was just written off in the most uncharacteristic way possible. I don’t know about any behind-the-scenes details. Aside from the writers strike during Season 2 which caused a shortened run, 11 episodes as opposed to 20+. But, not knowing what happened on the production side of things, shouldn’t matter. As a viewer of a show I should be able to understand decisions characters made, but there are so many out of pocket moments. It's like the writers don't even know there own characters. The end of Season 1? Made no sense. Because of the writers decisions, they completely pivoted the directions of all the characters and I'd say mostly not for the better. Do I need to voice my opinions on this topic? No. Could I have just left all of my thoughts to ruminate in my head? Sure, but where is the fun in that? I wanted to share these thoughts in hopes of finding others who understand my POV. It would also be great to learn more about other perspectives from viewers of the show. At the end of the day is it that serious? No. But, in a world that is nothing but serious I need a light distraction to escape the actual injustices of the world. So, we’ll focus my energies on just discussing whatever comes to my mind on a certain day. Whether it’s to discuss why Isaac was the most central character in the series, or why his abilities shouldn’t be replicated, or why he would never have tried to shoot Peter or Simone….so many topics to dive into. And, that’s just on Isaac. Matt Parkman…the amount of injustice done to that man…I just feel bad for him at that point. And, why name his wife Janice?Never mind I’ll save that for another post. Peter Petrelli? I'm supposed to route for him, why is he such an inconsistent person? I have more sympathy for Nathan Peterelli and he was supposed to be evil at one point. Don't forget Hiro..."You already bad guy! You are villain - villain!" Don't get me wrong I like the show, Hiro and Ando the best dynamic duo who have the most memorable lines of comic relief. But, even all of there most iconic lines can't cover up all of the odd plot lines and character decisions. I'm not even going to say bad writing. I'm going to say underdeveloped storylines. It's a show with such great potential, but it was botched in my mind. Season 1 was almost perfect to me, but the following seasons just went downhill. It makes me sad. Tim Kring, you had such wonderful ideas. You created this show. It's such an original idea, I was captivated, then I felt like my heart was being toyed with because all the characters I've come to enjoy just started acting out of sorts. But, you probably get the point now. I’ll just be posting my random thoughts as someone who has yet to finish the series, but will be doing so probably in the next few days. More updates to come after.

Peter: "I never told you this, but when Nathan had his accident, I knew it."

Angela: "We all got the same call."

Peter: "No, I'm saying before the call - like he was telling me, three hundred miles away. I woke up and I knew that he'd been hurt."

Happy Pride Month with a little shitpost for Heroes and what they SHOULD NEVER SAY TO SOMEONE WHO JUST CAME OUT.

Started watching heroes with my boyfriend and he's enjoying it but he can't seem to wrap his head around why Nathan isn't happy about having powers/doesn't want anyone to know about them (and we're well past the point where the Company tries to nab him). Keeps saying stuff like "He could win the election by showing off that he can fly!" and whatnot. Problem is I'm not really a Nathan girlie myself so while I do kind of get his deal intuitively, I struggle to put it into words... how would you explain his general mindset to a relative newcomer who's about halfway through the first season?

He's been raised to be perfect. To excel, but in a very "normal" mold. Wife and kids, no affairs no children out of wedlock. No brother who is sick, no mother who steals, no weirdness. Everything that doesn't "fit" about him, he's ashamed, even afraid of. [Which is why @petrellicest so often states his relationship with his powers make an excellent metaphor for being closeted, but I guess that's neither here nor there.]

Also.... just because the Company isn't actively trying to snatch him doesn't mean he's out of danger?? :'D Keep in mind, Heroes does not take place in a DC- or Marvel-esque world. It takes place in our world. Powers are not a known thing. Nathan is in greater danger from the government than the Company - he says so himself at one point. Not sure if you're there yet, but he thinks the government would take them all (all people with powers) and lock them away, because that's what he would do.

been rewatching heroes recently because that show is my fucking everything. and bro...

i never noticed how much sexual tension there is between peter and nathan? like why the fuck do they constantly look like they wanna kiss???

milo and adrian wanna kiss soooo bad it's fucking hilarious but also awkward when you know that peter and nathan are brothers (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) like did nobody at any point look at these men and go

"Yo, maybe don't look like you wanna suck face every time y'all hug."

(just realised there’s 2 angles of this hug, one in the actual scene and one in another episode’s ‘previously on’.)

Moments Between the Madness - Chapter 9 ("The Tomb of Innocence")

"After a while it got easier to believe. To forget what I was doing until it just didn't matter anymore. But I don't want to forget. I don't want to be like him.” It was only when he turned his head and found the hero still watching him with that honest, earnest, undivided attention the way he always did, the way no one else ever had, that Sylar discovered why his secrets were spilling out of him of their own volition. Because Peter was listening to him. “Don't let me forget, Peter.”

This one's a pretty emotional chapter from start to finish - I hope all the feels make up for having to wait so long to read it! Enjoy <3

(tw: childhood abandonment, minor mention of self harm, romance)
