Title: Who W2BA Super-Hero? ***SPOILERS ***
Post by: jbox on August 07, 2006, 02:54:18 am
Who Wants To Be A Super-Hero? (http://www.whowantstobeasuperhero.tv/)

***************************************************
Note: If you can avoid spoiling, that would be great, since there is more delay for some of us then others. Try to say things like "that thing Monkey Girl did that was awesome in Ep2" (for example).

So, are people watching this show? I have only seen the first two episodes so far and it can be so cheesy it's funny. It's also fun to try and work out which parts are scripted and which parts are real-ish.  :cheers:

I was actually surprised by this show, I thought it would be another horrible reality show, but its kind of fun to watch.  *semi-spoiler* Converting the one guy to a villian was brilliant, I wonder if thats why they initially chose him to be on the show.

I was actually even more surprised by the show that came on after it the first week.  I think it was called Garth Marengies Dark Place and it was hilarious, it seems its already been cancelled since they didn't show it this past week even though it was scheduled.  My guess most people didn't understand the satire of it, it was supposed to be an absolutely horrible show, along the lines of an Ed Wood movie or something Mystery Science Theater would make fun of.  Its too bad because I thought it was hilarious.

It made perfect sense though didn't it? Once I realised that Stan Lee *didn't* create the Punisher, it felt odd to see the earlier interaction in the group, then it was like "Ahhhh...."  8)

The only problem with reality shows though is that you have to rely on what the editors want you to see. For example, is Creature really that skanky? Major Victory seems like he would make a perfect comic book (what with the checkered past and the desire to reform), but the Feedback dude is getting seriously scary. Reminds me of that young guy who cried in The Apprentice when Trump fired him...  :timebomb:

I dunno, your guess is as good as mine (http://www.whowantstobeasuperhero.tv/episodes/) I suppose.  ;)
