Idea: Heroes TV Series to Films

Yeah, Volume 2 isn't really a story worth telling anymore, They were only about to really begin when it ended. the story arc was going to be about the virus outbreak.

You could cull certain things to add elsewhere, just mind continuity on certain things like Peter's hair.

Volume 3 while entertaining was still a bit sloppy in the story telling. It probably would be best to choose a particular plot thread and cut awa ywhatever doesn't relate.

My suggestion would be to keep Season 1 as is.

Then take Seasons 2 and 3, and re-cut them into about 10-15 episodes to make a legitimately *good* Season 2 to replace the ones that exist.  Then, when Season 4 comes and Bryan Fuller returns, hopefully the show will return to being good, and I can just replace Seasons 2 and 3 on my DVD shelf with this edit.

Bear in mind, however, I stopped watching at around 3.5 or 3.6, so I don't know what's doing with S3, and if my idea can be done.  And it started off so promising ...

Based on what I've seen, the main thing that needs to be changed is character motivations.  The biggest problem with S2 and what I saw of 3 is that instead of putting established characters in a situation and following how they would act, they changed the characters to make them fit in their new stories.  Kind of like sanding down a square peg to fit in a round hole, but I wanted to see how the square peg figured out how to get through on its own without being forcibly changed.  If the characters had changed in natural ways, then I'd have been fine with the changing characterizations, but they didn't, so I wasn't.  Hiro, Peter and Claire are the two biggest examples of this.

IMO the best thing Fuller can do with Season 4 is have Hiro time-travel to the end of Season 1, make sure Peter dies for real with the explosion thing, killing him along with it, thus getting rid of both time-travellers once and for all, and ignoring the fact that seasons 2 and 3 ever happened.  Start anew.  The time-travelling was starting to make the show far too convoluted.

Hiro, Peter and Claire are the two biggest examples of this.

Where'd you learn to count? ;)

It's not just Hiro and Peter...Daphne, Arthur and Sylar are all characters who would be able to time travel, And there are probably others. I do get what you mean though, They did start tying things back in towards the end there but they could take it a lot further.

Back in the beginning I got annoyed with Mohinder since he was constantly shifting back and forth. Now, it seems almost every character is guilty of this. This Villains finale tried to make this seem legitimate by giving us the 'dual' theme and the notion that everyone has the ability to be either a Hero or a Villain....

yeah I know i'm cutting out the whole Sylar thinking the Pettreli's are his parents thing.

Would that mean cutting out Sylars "oooh, cake!" line?
