I think shows are becoming more and more plain and boring. I mean a man with cape? Yawnfest. America is obsessed with superheroes and he does not qualify.

Well SO FAR Chess is just an evil villain but that's probably just because it's episode three and his motives haven't been revealed yet. I think he immediately became less shallow when it was revealed that he was searching for his daughter and for what purpose is he trying to build this police state? Surely not just for the evulz? I think that will be explored later.

And I also find Max Malini interesting, he's obviously got some secrets and Orwell seems intriguing. Vince himself...yeah okay, he is a bit of an idiot tough guy but maybe we'll see him grow into a more sophisticated person as he learns what it really means to be a hero?

In what way does he not qualify as a superhero? No powers? I think he's doing pretty well for some guy who was just a cop a few weeks ago :P
And as far as the show itself goes, so far I don't think it's boring at all, better than a LOT of other stuff to come out of America. I'm kinda liking the mystery behind the actual cape itself too, it's not just some lab-grown super-cape it's got this legacy and it's not a particularly nice one it seems.

As for you Mr. Gordon, my location must always be a mystery...just kidding. I'm in Western Australia and it must have aired SOMEWHERE because I had access to it so I don't really know.

Yeah okay, fair enough.
I think it's good though because the cheeziness is kind of pointed out, I think they KNOW it's silly and that's why it works for me. But really, how serious can you expect any superhero show to get?

You are right. I stopped like super heroes because of Spider Man. Either it was the actor or the way they portrayed him (whiny whiny whiny).

You mean the movies? I still think the cartoon and stuff is awesome but yes, I didn't much like the movies. I thought the first was acceptable but after that...eugh.

What about the Batman movies?

Yeah I meant the movies. Thought Superman was decent. Thought the first Spiderman was okay. Spiderman 2 made me realize how much he resembled a woman. Didn't even bother with Spiderman 3. I haven't seen Kickass yet.

Haha, except for the woman part that's pretty much how I viewed the decline of the movies, 3 is even worse. I always thought he was just a whiny kid.

Kick-ass seems to be really popular but I thought it was totally horrendous. Worst superhero based thing I've EVER seen.

Also, a question for after people see episode three wherever they are. What do you think of the cape's corrupting influence? Do you think it will continue or be a one episode thing like I mentioned earlier? Is it just the power the cape gives that is corrupting or does it have an actual influence or something? :O Somehow I thinks its just the power.

*EDIT - And another thing, Gregor spent twenty years in prison? What was so special about the day where he was able to kick everyone's ass and escape? Why didn't he do that day one, escape artist that he is?

I personally liked the idea of the cape having a history, with questionable influence on the behaviour of the wearer, though I think that little bombshell could have been teased out a little more before stuff like Max being the last Kozmo the Unkillable and the cape being almost like the symbiote from Spiderman that created Venom and Carnage.

And why he picked that day to escape? Why did any Batman villain pick a certain day to escape from Arkham Asylum? Cuz it suited the writer to have that Rogues Gallery member out and about, probably. Same for why Gregor waited 20 years: convenience...unless the cape was communicating to Gregor it had a new bearer? That or something like it was the first day Gregor could have been in a non-solitary lockup cell and easier to break out from
