The Counterattack of
Bento--Preliminary Review of Heroes S3

When I typed these words, my computer was doing two things, diligently helping me drag the latest episode of Heroes. As a rule of thumb, the dumb and diligent computer will once again get the job done before me. Sadly though, I've got more stuff waiting for it to go down... that's what life is like.
Well, the warm-up is over, let's start the text.
Hero is one of the 3 American dramas that I watched with my roommates during college. The most intuitive evaluation of this drama is that it is a wonderful American drama until the penultimate episode of the first season, and then When writing the last episode, the writer's head was suddenly smashed by a light that fell from the studio...
For example, Lindeman (if the name is wrong, it is normal, my cognitive ability of English names is under 10 years old) This old man, after watching 20 episodes before, he put on the image of the final boss who is omniscient and omnipotent, and then Pia stepped on the watermelon rind and fell to his death...
Another example is Pete, who was invincible for a long time and finally had to let his brother hug him and fly , I don't know if I was bullied by his brother like Luo Yonghao when I was a child. Now I'm waiting for revenge... But when it came to S2, I found an opportunity to explain it, but the level of brain damage in S2 has long exceeded the end of S1... ... Of course S2 is during the writers' strike, and it's not ruled out that the poor bosses of the TV station created it themselves with pencils.
Then came the S3. The first time I watched the two-episode E1-2, my first reaction was: The producer is really nice, knowing that the economic crisis this year is not easy for everyone, and I am afraid that the actors will not be able to eat. Because almost everyone who received the bento is back! Lindeman's big boss wish was not fulfilled? No problem, let him come back and start over. The multiple personality woman was bombed? It doesn't matter, there are also triplets. Miyamoto Musashi was buried alive? It's easy to do, just dig it out...
And then there's the storyline of S3... Save the world! Oh yeah the third time. The future of this world is so bleak, changing Destruction 1 and Destruction 2, and changing Destruction 2 and Destruction 3. I can't help but think of a movie called Death Comes... You should die, you can't escape it. I remember watching Japanese cartoons when I was a child, and a classic model is called "Monday Monster" or "Kill a Dragon every day". Today's heroes have quite the charm of this model...
Next, let's talk about the selling point of S3. The cheerleader has become a bad guy, and the watch repairman has become a good guy. The pictures are on par with R-rated movies.
How should I put it... The hero of the first season is actually a decryption drama dressed in superhero and sci-fi skin. Its style is more like LOST. The company is equivalent to Dharma in LOST, and Lindeman is equivalent to Ben. The source of each person's ability and the reason for their awakening are equivalent to the island's secret. The difference is that the heroes at the time make you feel like you're getting closer to the truth with each episode, rather than encountering more mysteries. But after the second season of brain damage, the crew has abandoned the original positioning in this season, and has completely turned into a clichéd superhero save the world drama. I think this is also because the ratings of the dramas launched by NBC in recent years have been sloppy, and they had to change their strategy by relying on this drama as a life-saving straw. From this, it can be deduced that the transformation of the watch repair man and the cheerleader is just an act to attract the audience to increase their attention.
But after remembering the screenwriter who was beaten to death by a lamp (perhaps just with a shrunken brain?) and cynicism accusing the big capitalist of NBC, I have to admit that the S3 is at least better than the S2. More investment brings more gorgeous special effects and more action scenes. Although the superhero mode is very cliché, it is still a man's dream. The exchange of good and evil has really aroused my curiosity, and the style of the end of the world is just right to poke hit my weakness. Therefore, after abandoning the remaining little restraint, I still took the initiative to lower my IQ, and looked foolishly at S3's addiction to YY.
Write here, and finally talk about a few characters by the way.
Nakamura, this OTAKU really has the addiction to save the world. When there is no crisis in the world, he will create a crisis by himself, and its IQ will decrease day by day as the screenwriter becomes more and more brainless.
Nathan, is this a tribute to LOST? Also get a schizophrenic.
Pete, the scar on your face is handsome, but are you really not going to explain to us why you have scars no matter what future? Could it be... is it actually a wrinkle?
Seiler, a wonderful mother Qianli Xun touching remember
Claire, nothing to say ......
Ph.D., COS fly man?
Amdo: "I finally have super powers, wah ha ha ha ha..."
Noah: "I want it too! I will either~"

Note: In animation and movies, there is a word called "Leading Bento". The word collar bento comes from Xing Ye's comedy King of Comedy. In the play, the little character played by Xing Ye wants to be a big actor, but he can only play some cutscenes. The word also spread. The meaning is the director's severance pay. It can be understood as the death of a character when quoted in the anime. You will not be needed in this play if you get the lunch.
