Sylar killed Arthur in episode 12, why? A lot of viewers will say, it's obvious that Arthur cheated on Sylar. But that's not what I'm talking about here, but why did Sylar kill Arthur without taking his powers first? ! Arthur has always been considered the most powerful person, isn't that what Sylar aspires to? In fact, after a detailed analysis, the relationship behind this is very complicated! This move is a key point in the identification of Sylar's character analysis, and it is the strongest evidence to support this analysis, and it has repaired a fatal loophole throughout the two seasons of Heroes 2 and 3! To answer this question, we need to analyze the character of Sylar, which will involve the following questions: (I don’t know if you have asked yourself such questions in the process of watching heroes) 1. What caused Sylar to kill in the first and second seasons? (Now I think there are two, and each caused Sylar to kill different people, the two reasons met for the first time when killing Arthur, so I say it's the key point) 2. Season 3 Sylar "gets better" "The reason? (Note, it's "get better" in quotation marks) 3. What is the reason for Sylar to become bloodthirsty again after the solar eclipse? 4. Why did Sylar kill Arthur without taking his powers first? (Remember this, very important!) If you are interested in the above questions, why not take ten minutes to take a serious look at the content below. If you are not interested in them, you can just press the "backSpace" key. Part 1: A fatal loophole that runs through the two seasons of Heroes 2 and 3 Before I said that there is a fatal loophole that runs through the two seasons of Heroes 2 and 3, here is a bug that will be fixed in Sylar's character analysis. At the beginning of the third season, the film has been instilling in us a thought that the reason for Sylar's bloodlust is his ability, his ability to "see the difference in superpowers and have a great desire for that ability" . In the future, Sylar taught Peter this ability by repairing the watch, which caused Peter to become bloodthirsty and try to kill his mother. And Sylar effectively controlled this ability and showed a kind side. It's easy to attribute Sylar's previous bloodlust to his ability. But let's recall the second season, Sylar lost all abilities because of the virus, naturally including his own "desire ability". But Sylar is also full of evil, killing Yi Xing Nu, killing Maya's younger brother, and showing no mercy! This shows that Sylar is behind his bloodthirsty behavior. The ability is irrelevant! Contradicting each other, there was a big bug in the third and second seasons. If the third season is correct, Sylar in the second season has no reason to kill; if the second season is correct, it is impossible for Sylar in the third season to show kindness by suppressing his ability, it is impossible to teach Peter, and there is no possibility of the following plot! The key to solving this loophole is the one mentioned at the beginning, "why did Sylar kill Arthur without taking his powers first". The second part: Sylar's character analysis We have to divide the reasons for Sylar's murder into two parts. Let me give a direct conclusion: Sylar kills because of the dual drive of his character and ability! Sylar's character: Desires to be valued, wants everyone to see their special, desires to be loved. (Character Desire) Sylar's Ability: Sees the ability of others and desires to possess it. (Desire of Ability) We can see that Sylar's character alone is not enough to make him kill, but the combination of character and ability has produced subtle changes. From these two aspects, all the behavior of Sylar is explained! After Sylar killed the first psychic, he went home and showed his adoptive mother how powerful he was, not just a little watch repairer, hoping to get her mother's appreciation. His mother said he was a monster! What a naive child, eager to get the attention of his mother, but was insulted by his mother, and his self-esteem was frustrated, he killed his mother with his own hands. So I began to find another way to satisfy my desires (from character and ability). Only constant killing can satisfy the craving for attention in the character by acquiring the ability of others, and can also feed the hunger and thirst brought by his ability. Ability-driven is the main reason Sylar kills people in season one. In the second season, Sylar lost his ability due to illness, and also lost the fear of him and the pleasure of controlling everything he wanted. His abilities are all of his special. Fountain! His character didn't allow him to do this, and the fall from the top to the bottom strengthened his feeling, and he hoped to get that status by continuing to kill and gain power until he finally found Dr. Suresh. The drive of character is the main reason Sylar kills in the second season. In the third season, Sylar regained his ability, and the powerful ability allowed him to pick up the "killer knife" and continue his path of gratification. What makes him proud is Angela's attention, and finally someone really (he thinks so) pays attention to his existence and gives his mother. Dear love, instead of just treating him as a bloodthirsty murderous demon. The satisfaction of character desires gives Sylar the opportunity to use his own will to suppress the desires brought about by his abilities, which is why Sylar "has become better" later. That is to say, in the case of satisfying his character desires, ability desires can be suppressed! But this kind of "getting better" doesn't mean that he is full of sense of justice, and he has no sense of justice from beginning to end. Sylar was always thinking about his own desires, his desire to be valued, his desire to gain more power. This can be well explained after Sylar falls to Arthur's side. He was valued by Angela, he was valued by Arthur, both fulfilled his character desires, and it didn't make any difference to him which side he was on. At this time, he got love from Elle again, which is the peak period of Sylar's life. These powerful satisfactions have given him enough will to suppress the desire for ability. Later, Bennet's words made Sylar realize that his proud life is probably a phantom, and he is just a pawn used by Arthur! In addition, the solar eclipse made him incapacitated, and once again experienced the sense of superiority that passed away with his ability, evoking the feeling of despair in the second season. The solar eclipse made Sylar realize that ability is too important to him, and suppressing ability is a great shame, so at this time the fire of character desire is burning again, and the father-son relationship that originally controlled it (character desire) has been shaken, Coupled with the possible deception of his first love Elle, he killed Elle with his own hands and cremated her. When he knew from Arthur that he was really being used, the feeling of being humiliated had overwhelmed his desire for power, so he killed Arthur instead of taking Arthur without even thinking about it. Ability. At that time, he didn't even think about Arthur's ability, because all he thought in his mind was that he was being used, all the previous status and satisfaction were illusory, Arthur should die immediately! At the intersection of two desires, in the end, human nature prevails! Just imagine, if Sylar is still thinking about possessing Arthur's ability at this time, it means that the desire of his character (the feeling of longing for attention and longing to be loved) is not very strong, and it is impossible to suppress the ability, then he There would never have been any "getting better" moves before! From this, it can be seen that Sylar's nature has not changed from beginning to end, and the desire to be valued and loved runs through "Heroes" from beginning to end. When this character evolves into a murderous motive under the influence of his ability, "acquiring ability-satisfying desire" mutually excitation. Nature is always the most fundamental, and ability can be suppressed. (This also gives us the wrong feeling of "getting better" for Sylar) In fact, Sylar has neither a sense of justice nor does he want to dominate the world, but simply wants to satisfy his own desires, desires from character and desires from abilities. So after killing Arthur, I left a dashing sentence to Peter, "You don't have anything I want"~ Finally, after the three seasons of the hero, I think the third season is the most exciting, it greatly strengthens the portrayal of the characters, If the first season is to make the characters appear, the second season is to show the powerful abilities of each hero, and all the foreshadowing is for the third season: go deep into the hearts of the heroes and show us the true hearts of the heroes!
