Recently, I have started to watch the series, Heroes.
I watch them online and doing that makes me think about the Writer's Strike and how little they are being paid for their creativity and ingenuity. I mean, how can authors get paid less than 10% of the profit made from people streaming the show online. It doesn't make sense for the TV stations to keep that money all for themselves. Anyway, this is not the reason for this blog but still, if we want entertainment, then authors should get paid a decent amount. Just like teachers, teachers need to be paid for their works as well, and I'll talk about this in another entry.
It was delightful to see Sylar so powerless throughout all of volume two. However, his evil, blind intentions (as in he doesn't feel that he is doing anything bad) nag at my conscience. I want to just go in the show and kill him, tell him that what he is doing is wrong, but then again, is it really wrong.
Is it wrong for someone who has power to abuse it? See, inside Sylar, there is still human nature. The nature to take more and more and more. There is no stop because it's not human nature to stop when one knows that there is more to take.
As I watched volume two, I can't help but feel that Sylar is like Team Rocket in pokemon. Such an annoying protagonist. Heroes definitely rubs you raw because of the mixture of evil, harmful, and dangerous desires of characters. There are those who are too honest and there are those are not honest at all but is able to get away with things because they look honest. To me, this reflects the complications of society and how people can be very dangerous or very helpful, but it's tough to tell them apart at times.
It pained me to see Sylar regaining his powers through threats against Mohinder, Molly, and Maya. Sigh. I hope he gets taken down. I hope society can become simpler so my teenage mind can wrap around it.
