Save the Cheerleader, Save the World (Heroes Rewatch)
From Open Tabs · 24:52
Show by Keely Todd
It’s been more than a decade since I really watched Heroes, so naturally I decided it was time to go back to where it all began: save the cheerleader, save the world.And y’all…I have THOUGHTS.In this episode of Open Tabs, we’re talking about why Peter Petrelli is still one of my favorite characters, why Sylar remains absolutely terrifying, the underrated badassery of Sandra Bennet, the tragedy of what happened to Mohinder, and the increasingly questionable decisions made by basically everyone in the Petrelli family. Plus: disappearing characters, unnecessary powers, redemption arcs that needed way more time, and the moment the writing went completely off the rails.So grab a seat while I revisit one of the superhero shows that defined my childhood and find out what still holds up—and what makes me yell, “What the actual hell were you doing?!” all these years later.
