Didn't seem to me at all like a ripoff of Heroes. It's worth remembering that people having superpowers and being hunted for them is an idea that long predates Heroes. X-Men, anybody?

Yes, I know that, sum1.

I'm saying the trend of TV shows featuring non-costumed superheroes without secret identities started with Heroes, although there was another show that came on in the 2000s called Mutant X that also copied X-Men but had non-costumed superheroes. The 4400 was another show like that. I think Unbreakable in 2000 predated all of them.

Mutant X predated Heroes and was a Marvel thing, by Avi Arad.

Yes, I remember. A bit of self-plagiarism.

It wasn't a very good show.

**PhoenixRising** · 05-04-2022, 07:37 PM

My baseball team sucks.

So why watch them?

**PhoenixRising** · 05-05-2022, 11:10 PM

Because there's nothing else to watch during the Summer.

sum1 · 05-06-2022, 04:02 AM

It's not summer yet.

Make Them Laugh · 05-06-2022, 01:13 PM

**PhoenixRising** · 05-06-2022, 07:08 PM

It's been horrible here too, Dave.

This from the guy who says that Spring begins March 1st and not the equinox?

Technically, Summer begins in the middle of June at the Solstice, but May has traditionally been the start of the Summer movie season and the Summer vacation season because of Memorial Day weekend.

May tends to be a lot warmer than it is right now.

but gardening season did start already.

I hope the gardening is good for you, Rita.
