I don't know what the director wants to do

Three episodes into Season 4, and it's clear that Hero has fallen into the same quagmire as any other American show: going on for the sake of going on.

From the first season, we know the director's intention for the show: that everyone can be a hero, even if you're just a tiny little guy. It is this very simple and very old-fashioned American-style individual heroism that has attracted a large number of loyal fans. After all, anyone has this little dream of having superpowers and using them to save the world, or just change their own lives, and that's why we're drawn to these shows. At the same time, it is undeniable that the first season of Heroes is a tightly structured TV series, and the story is also very attractive, but the plot is a little messy and a little confusing.

The disorganization of the plot became apparent from the beginning of the second season, and the addition of more and more superpower owners made the structure of the whole TV series quite complicated. However, preventing disasters and saving the world is still the theme of TV dramas. Therefore, people still firmly believe that heroes can survive and passion will still be staged.

However, the biggest flaw appeared. The director's brain short-circuited, turning Sylar into Nathan. What's the point? Just to keep the American people from rioting over the death of the president? Or was it just a distraught mom who made a ridiculous decision to see her son again? The director didn't seem to be able to give the audience a reasonable explanation. Fake Nathan seemed to realize that something was wrong with him after two or three episodes, during which he didn't play any role, and the third season ended. So, does this count as the director's self-denial? Or did the director deliberately put such a nonsense plot?

Now, the fourth season has been updated to the third episode, and the scary thing is that in these three episodes, we found that as long as the people who were not dead appeared, the newly added characters also showed their faces, which led to dozens of This unrelated scene appeared in three episodes, what a gibberish. From these three episodes, we can't see what kind of crisis these people are facing. So, where has the slogan of "save the cheerleader, save the world" gone? The world does not need to be saved, just live your own life well. "T-bag" seems to be the crux of the story, but it's clear that his organization existed long ago and didn't do good things, so why didn't a powerful organization like the original Company spot them and stop them until now? Comrade Bennett took a compass and vowed to dig out the secret behind it, but was robbed. However, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He only wanted to see his daughter every day, and didn't know what he wanted to do. Loose, cluttered, nonsensical, that's how Heroes Season 4 feels so far. Obviously, the director has run out of skills, just to keep the TV series going, so the dead can be resurrected, and the living don't know what to do, rushing around like headless flies. Fortunately, Mr. Kring always has some logical thinking ability, and he didn't come up with a ridiculous plot like "I read it wrong at the time, so I didn't see Sarah's head, so Sarah didn't die". That kind of plot, three-year-old children can't be deceived. Fortunately, the hero has not made such a joke so far.
