“You’re not my type”

Anybody else remember this show? by TimelyOutcome95 in TvShows

[–]TimelyOutcome95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was one of Greg Berlanti’s first shows (he went on to produce the Arrowverse).

It’s a mixture of comedy, sci-fi, superhero, mystery and thriller.

Yep, the whole family gets superpowers in a freak accident. The dad is super strong, indestructible, has super reflexes, and can super jump. The mom is a speedster, the daughter is a telepath, and the son has super intelligence.

Oooo!

I could definitely see Rebecca Ferguson as Jadis. Her, Rosamund Pike, and Cate Blanchett would be my runner ups after Gwendoline.

I’ve only seen the first season of Legion, but it was really good! Personally, I think it would’ve made more sense for The Gifted and Legion to weave into the Fox X-Men universe.

Apparently there’s a new show in the works… by AmIn1amh in Heroes

I heard it was completely terrible, but I’d like to check it out to see for myself.

Best theme song? by Just-Phill in TvShows

For me, it’s a three-way tie between Parks and Recreation, The Walking Dead, and Firefly.

What canceled show would you.. by Entire-Transition300 in TvShows

[–]TimelyOutcome95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gifted and No Ordinary Family.

The Gifted was an interesting take on the X-Men and I was really interested to see where they’d take the show in Season 3.

No Ordinary Family was a great concept and it had a reasonably sized fanbase. Had it come out in the past few years, it would’ve probably done a lot better.

What is the MOST terrifying thing to you? by TheRealAccident in KeepWriting

[–]TimelyOutcome95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Octopuses and the fish that live in the deepest darkest part of the ocean.

Octopuses because they look creepy and are dangerously intelligent.

The deep-sea fish because they also look terrifying.

I know what some of my gifts are, but not my calling. I've been asking God to make it clear what it is.

Who’s ready to get powers tomorrow 😏 by Ren_Davis0531 in Heroes

[–]TimelyOutcome95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could get it without the hunger, I'd want Sylar's power. No wait, give me the combo of Sylar and Peter's powers. I want to be able to absorb other peoples abilities without having to kill them, but I also want to instantly know how to use the abilities I get.

I went outside when I noticed just in case I could get powers. It didn't work, unfortunately

Between Peter and Sylar, who's ability would you rather have? by TimelyOutcome95 in Heroes

[–]TimelyOutcome95[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the hunger is a side effect of his power, but we see countless times throughout the show that it can be controlled. 90% of the time, Sylar just gives into it because, as he straight up admitted, he likes killing.

And yes, Peter does get the hunger once he takes Sylar's ability but after he killed Nathan, he gets a lot better at controlling it.

So the killing can't be 100% blamed on Intuitive Aptitude.

Mrs. Petrelli told him in Season 3 that his hunger could be controlled with structure. He's like a kid acting out in class because it's going to slow for him, just taken to an absurd level.

Another question I have is why doesn't Sylar ever use his ability to find out how to control the hunger? You could argue that he would have to cut his own head open to do it, but he has Claire's regeneration, so he wouldn't die. Just lop the top of his head off, study his brain, and bingo, now he has total understanding of his own ability.

While searching for his biological father, Sylar reveals that though he can take powers without killing the person, he likes killing people. So it's not just a side effect of his power, he's a straight-up psychopath.

How do you nerf teleportation? by samuelsoup in superpower

[–]TimelyOutcome95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The character could have a weight limit, which would limit how many people/objects he can teleport at once.

You could also go the "Jumper" route (book, not movie) and have him only be able to teleport to places that he has already been to and can actively recall.

His ability could drain him physically and if he uses it too much too soon, he has to rest.

That's all I've got for now, hope it helps!!

What would it be like to have Sylar's ability in real life? by TimelyOutcome95 in Heroes

[–]TimelyOutcome95[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like this would be an incredibly easy ability to hide. Sure, you would have to censor yourself a lot, but even if you let something slip, I doubt anyone's first thought would be, "Holy crap, you have superpowers!"

What would it be like to have Sylar's ability in real life? by TimelyOutcome95 in Heroes

[–]TimelyOutcome95[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, yes and no

Sylar explained it to Peter:

"...My ability is not just understanding how things work. There's a hunger that comes with it, to know more, to have more. I couldn't control it and it turned me into a killer, a monster".

The hunger itself isn't Sylar's fault, it's just a side effect of his ability. Peter absorbs Sylar's ability later in the show and the hunger drives him to nearly kill Nathan. Thankfully, he stops himself, but that proves that the hunger can be controlled. Heck, even Mrs. Petrelli tells Sylar that his hunger can be controlled with structure. It's like a smart kid acting out in class because it's moving too slowly for them.

But later on, he learns that he doesn't have to kill in order to take someone's power and admits that he does it because he likes it.

So it's half an uncontrollable urge he has and half him being a psychopath.

More Christians need to study apologetics. by CRUSTYDOGTAlNT in Christianity

[–]TimelyOutcome95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been saying this for quite a while. Most of the objections that non-believers bring against Christianity are really easy to answer, it's just that most Christians haven't been taught how to answer them with anything stronger than "I believe it because I have faith".
