Please believe, this is not a novelist's alarmist, at least from the point of view of film and television, New York is definitely the most dangerous city on earth - 1996 In "Independence Day", the city that aliens first destroyed was New York; in "Godzilla" in 1998, New York's Madison Square Garden became the spawning room of monsters, and the Brooklyn Bridge became cannon fodder to accompany the monsters; 2004 In "The Day After Tomorrow", except for the torch in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, the entire New York City was annihilated by ice and snow; in "War of the Worlds" in 2005, New York was also doomed... So in the American drama "Heroes", when New York was in danger again, we had already Without the nervousness, whether or not a nuclear explosion occurred, the suspense that should have been life and death lost its magic power from the very beginning.
I believe that when the plot is halfway through, most people have already decided that a nuclear explosion is inevitable, no matter how hard our heroes try to prevent it - after all, the painter Isaac's prediction has never been wrong. But the development of the plot was beyond everyone's expectations. The nuclear explosion did happen, but in the moment before the explosion, Nathan flew into the air with Peter in his arms, the Petrelli brothers died, and New York was intact.
It is also this ending that has aroused the dissatisfaction of countless "Heroes" fans. Indeed, according to the original plan, as long as cheerleader Claire shot Peter in the head before it exploded, the explosion could be avoided, and Peter was undead, and as long as the bullet in his head was removed afterwards, he could be resurrected again. But according to the plan of the finale, Nathan flew into the air with Peter in his arms, and both of them were blown to pieces. Not to mention Nathan's sacrifice in vain, no matter how strong Peter's regeneration ability is, it is impossible for him to be resurrected. To put it back ten thousand steps, even if he had to run into the air and explode like fireworks, Peter would have the ability to fly, so why should his brother do it?
Putting aside the loopholes in the plot itself, is New York really safe? Linderman orchestrated the explosion for years, and was it so easily stopped by the heroes? I think the answer is no. As I said before, a nuclear explosion is inevitable. The troubled city of New York is destined to be ravaged again. The specific reasons are as follows:
The Japanese Hiro experienced the nuclear explosion. According to the date of the newspaper on the newsstand, that day should be November 8, which is the day after the general election. According to the sky outside the window, we can conclude that the explosion occurred during the day. rather than at night. But the finale of the first season happened on the night of the election. That is to say, when everyone was relieved that the nuclear explosion crisis had been lifted, the real explosion had not yet come, and it was destined to happen the next day. An earth-shattering explosion, and this time, it was the one that destroyed New York.
At the end of the day, New York will inevitably be destroyed again - God, what a dangerous city it is.
