Peter's Powers Are Stolen | Heroes

[@tamumaverick1323]

I was okay with Peter losing his powers. But I wasn't okay with him never regaining them.

[@crazyman7671]

Well I heard one thing rumored and would have been AMAZING and fulfilled Future Angela's statement about Peter being the "most powerful of them all(or something like that)" was that when he injected the formula to save Nathan, he would have been able to replicate powers by not only physical contact and keep them to use later(similar to his mimicry power use. But storing them when physically making contact with someone), but he would have his Dads power theft abilities, but would "fix" Sylars Intuitive Aptitude power to where he could use it without the hunger and basically "correct him" but in a pleasant way that allows him to be Peter's partner in the future. And yes. Nathan would still be alive.

[@FlameWingPhoenix]

Peter did regain his powers, just a heavily nerfed version of it

[@ulysses4989]

@@FlameWingPhoenix He didn't. He could mimic powers, basically absorb powers of those around him. He was more powerful than Sylar. Then he lost the most OP ability. What's 1 power with the limit of 1 vs 20?

[@FlameWingPhoenix]

@@ulysses4989 i meant that he regained his ability as a whole, not the powers he mimicked previously.

[@HoustonSoto]

I wouldn’t blame any one scene. There were a lot of contributing factors to the downfall of the series quality.

[@doryaman]

@@isaiahGere I liked him overpowered. The main problem he was facing wasn't about defeating villains anyway. It was about fixing a timeline, which is why he sought the power of understanding in the first place.

[@barney9456]

I was upset by this scene, as even when Peter got powers again they weren't the same, as he could only hold onto one at a time...for some reason

[@Axolotlgaming555]

In my opinion they could let that scene and later when Arthur died Peter's powers came back to him Or in order to nerf him for the rest of the show he could get all his powers back but only use them when the original EVO is nearby or just make him gather them all again

[@dumathecheetah98]

I think this moment ruined the show...

[@sysvjbjr]

This, along with his new power being much more limited yet still similar to his original power, was intentional since it the only way for Peter to not be utterly invincible with all his powers was to constantly be an idiot. By being limited to just one power at a time, he got much more intelligent and creative with the powers he replicated.

[@ApatheticEntity]

@@sysvjbjr I think that he was going to eventually have his power evolve back to his original ability or maybe something like Arthur's.

[@patrickstewart6260]

Smort, smort.

[@AmbientMess]

So break that down for me. Would he have absorbed his ORIGINAL power of 'Empathic Mimicry' permanently or would it be just like now where if he touched someone else with abilities he would lose it?

[@SaudaraLink]

@@AmbientMess No, he should have gotten his original power to absorb multiple powers, then absorbed those other powers with the empathetic mimicry power.

[@PasserbyYT]

No time travel can't make you reverse time it can only create new timelines where you enter them with your own present body.

[@crazyman7671]

Imagine if he actually mimicked his Dads power theft and pulled the Reverse-Uno card and stole everything back once Arthur stole his powers

[@jbronxndc84]

😂dope but he took that ability from Peter at the moment so it’s impossible

[@surensen]

This was where the series died 😢

[@charlielucas3386]

This is where Heroes lost its charm in my opinion. If things HAD to change regarding Peter’s powers, he should have absorbed his father’s ability, so even if he lost everything else, he soon discovered he had Arthur’s power, but due to Peter being able to connect to others, the power swiftly changed: Peter now possessed a weaker version of Arthur’s ability, yet UNLIKE Arthur, if Peter absorbs someone else’s power, they do not lose it, and neither does he, and Peter’s version of absorption is like ability replication in that the person doesn’t feel anything when their power is taken. That would have been much better.

[@j.ronnygibson]

Hey 1. What's more upsetting is that he stole Peter's powers and not Sylar's powers. Even if he stole Nathan's power I would have preferred thay. 2. This was all just plot incomvience. The only way this scene could have truly been redeemed is if Peter met Baby Matt Parkman and got his followers restored. And the ability to only have 1 power at a time? That alone is criminals

[@ImTheMan0fSteel]

@@j.ronnygibson plus it just makes his powers boring and makes him useless and one of the weakest. Because he HAS to touch the person with the powers. So that person is already there with those powers lol. So it's completely redundant.

Or make it a moral battle because Peters nature is so inherently empathetic, it becomes hard for him to consider doing this to others and we have him struggle with deciding to do so…

[@ImTheMan0fSteel]

@@j.ronnygibson exactly. Have him duel wield powers. Or just have it so he can only pull out one at a time and has to do it consciously. So if he doesn't pull out say, his healing ability on purpose, he will die. And is vulnerable when pulling out other abilities. What's annoying is syler still had his. So there was just no counter to him at alllllllll. No balance there. So to best him they have to do this weird thing that makes no sense and do it off screen so they don't have to explain why they aren't dead with a flick of sylers wrist. It was cool to have two opposite power houses who counter each other. Like superman and darksied. Can still have both those characters and give batman something to do. If that makes sense. Just have to write it well.

[@Publiclighthouse]

Peter represented the average person who wanted to truly do something different and good for society while discovering their true purpose. As he started to find out more about himself and accumulated powers along the way, I rooted for Peter, especially how with all that power, he wasn’t turning dark and abusing it. When the writers did this, they gutted one of the most relatable and likable characters. It was awful and didn’t help the storyline that so many faithfully followed.

Well the main problem is that the show was limited by budget. Because the obvious next step in this situation would be to simply have Peter and Arthur fight each other using a bunch of powers. Just as how it would've made sense to have Peter and Sylar fight using a bunch of powers at the end of season 1. But that would be too expensive so they have to devise ways to avoid having them fight with all their powers.

I’ve always wonder what if Instead of peters powers what if he would’ve stole sylars abilities instead

[@ultimate-x9720]

This is the moment the greatest hero tv show became utter trash Imagine taking away the main characters powers after all that development and making him weak smh.

[@DmitryNesterof]

You might think that this moment ruined the whole series. But not really. The authors left loopholes, at least 3. Peter, even at the end of season 4, can regain all or almost all of his strength. How? Method 1 - he can copy Sylor's original ability and, through Matt Parkman, understand from Sylor how to launch and use them. Or, through Matt Parkman's son, he can regain his original power (since the son has the ability to turn on what is dead). Or 3 way - Peter can ask Hiro to go back in time, but in order not to break the chronology - Hiro must go to the hospital where young Peter donated blood (the disappearance of the test tube will not affect the passage of time). Hiro then returns to the present and asks Mohinder to create an "empathy expander" based on Peter's young blood.

[@popcornlieutenant]

But they didnt do any of this though. They could've given peter back his base power at square 1, with any method they wanted and it would've saved the show. They chose the absolute dumbest way for him to lose his powers and it hurt them bad.

[@DmitryNesterof]

@@popcornlieutenant Yeah. It is clear that they did it for balance. But! It's one thing when a person with abilities just appears and sorts out his problems (ie, more mundane superheroics). Another thing is when he learns to develop his strength and for this he has to change his consciousness. Become something more than just a person and even a superhero. In films and serials of various kinds, Gods are often presented as negative characters. But what if Tim Kring developed the idea in a positive way that every person is destined to become God sooner or later (that this is achievable). In the movie "Wonder Woman 1984" they partially beat this moment very well, when all people were given the opportunity to fulfill their desires (ie, create with the power of thought). It was clear that people were not ready for this, that it was necessary to change their consciousness. Yes, all this leads more into philosophy than superheroes. But it would be something fresh, in the modern world of clichés for all sorts of superpowers. Because it's not just entertainment with specials. effects, but makes you think about something very important, deep.

[@Bavdingo]

Peter Petrelli and Hiro Nakamura were the only GOOD thing going. They were overpowered but good people at heart, and they were relatable. This made Peter a liability all the way till the end, even with his 1 power at a time ability. Poor decisions.

So they need to make a limit of his powers .

[@darkmessiah9566]

His mind was his limit, he had nowhere near as much control of his powers as Sylar or Arthur because he was a super kind and caring person.

[@TacitusTurntable]

Absolutely not. The solution to a strong hero is to write strong villains, crafty villains, that make the hero grow in other ways than just vertical power increase. Anime does balanced power-scaling all the time. One Punch Man is literally proof that you can write a compelling story with an OP mega god tier protagonist and still have you on the edge of your seat during a boss fight.

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

Slow reply but Sylar was super powerful too wasn’t he? I didn’t watch this show past season 1 because it just didn’t seem very good after season 1 from what I heard so not sure if Sylar lost his powers too by this point. If they made Sylar more powerful than Peter and kept him more powerful then it wouldn’t have been so bad.

[@bobbwc7011]

This was the biggest bullshit ever. They clearly had not enough writer's intelligence to handle Peter as his principle power and the amount of powers he absorbed clearly made it too difficult for the mediocre writing stuff to make him work. So they deux ex machina-ed him out of the way and ruined him. Funny enough, Sylar, even though dead at the end of season 1 and brought back by orders of the studio executives, never got that treatment. Sylar got away with everything and they found one dumb plot device after another to make him / keep him "popular". What a shitshow. For anybody who doesn't know: Season 2 was not written and not conducted by the show creator as he was part of a big writer's strike. He literally lost 100% control over his show and he kept writing to producers and studio executives what they were doing wrong etc. with not effect by the way. Seasons 2, 3 and 4 of Heroes are ridiculously bad, cringe, cliché and outright boring. They fell into any writing trap possible: bringing back the dead villain Sylar, bringing back the dad who was said to be dead, then creating a second OG Peter Petrelli (Super-Sylar) by NULLIFYING the entire first season and ALL of its plots and points (Save the Cheerleader, Save the World...not letting Sylar gain Claire's overpowered power), etc. etc. Heroes Season 1 was a good standalone take on the superhero genre, the rest is a dumpster fire and outright trash. But that was the fault of the original show creator as well, at least in parts, because: If you undertake such a concept of a show with so many characters, separate plotlines which need to converge and powers who clearly have a scale from useless to OP, then you need to write a rather detailed and exhaustive synopsis of the entire show including a timeline and a plan on where and how to end it. You need to think through major basic problems like Peter Pitrelli who by the end of season 1 was the most powerful hero. If you don't outline this you are prone to repeat the X-FILES FALLACY of neverending meandering stupid writing instead of working against a fixed end point. The show creator clearly had no plan for after season 1. So him complaining about all the bullshit that happened during the strike is bigotry. Had he planned better, then the emergency writing team would have not derailed the entire show in a few episodes with a few dumb ideas. Another dumb idea was giving Sylar the same ability of S1 Peter Petrelli. I will never understand why they gave up the serial killer concept and trying to make him a good guy. Obviously he was very popular with the audience. Still totally stupid and one reason to ruin the show and to nullify entire seasons and plotlines. Heroes is like Westworld. It has 1 season. The rest we don't speak of. The rest is garbage.

this scene ruined the whole show for me and broke my soul.

[@IseoluwaCobham]

And thus heroes was ruined forevermore

[@miou118google]

The exact scene when Heroes died, nothing good came out of the show after this episode

[@danielchen3993]

why are there no dislikes on this video

[@fallenlegend7952]

Why should there be

[@invictus6176]

@@fallenlegend7952 it was the defining moment that killed the show

[@Memehuskie]

This was the show downfall

[@joshuarichards9365]

Dude THEY should not have taken Peter's abilities man smh

[@terriabeal221]

Power absorption is op

Flint is so hot! ❤️🔥👑🔥❤️

[@spencer-ix6fb]

I was pissed

[@Warrior-ww7cy]

Even his new power was OP, just imagine the possibilities you could have

[@sylar695]

Lol ^^

[@knytewing3107]

And that’s when the character is ruined.

[@tyroned114]

And the show went all down hill from here. I liked Peter with many ablities, and he was just learning to control and use them too.

[@Italianempath]

I'm having a bit of nostalgia here this is the episode that I fucking hated heroes period!!!

[@bruisecruise4621]

downfall of the show tbh

[@nilesstark]

Reminds me of how Zeus made Kratos give up all of his powers in GOW2.

[@ThatGuyNorm]

This was the dumbest scene in television history. You take one of the greatest characters in a dying show and reduce him to nothing by having his powers taken in one of the most pathetic ways imaginable. A HUG ! 😂😂 The you double down on this mistake by forcing the greatest character to take a synthetic drug that allows him to steal a single power at a time depending on which plot point the writers would need to fill. Good one!

[@codymuller5744]

Worst scene in the entire show tbh.

[@rickmarr8784]

The show just sucked when they down graded Peter to just on power at a time. He just became secondary in the story.

[@CalebDorsett]

Instead of nerfing peter, they should have killed him off in a meaningful way imo

[@mcgruff7355]

This killed the show right here make a movie fix this nbc

[@kalidah8431]

Worst choice by the writers ever

[@createcoms]

This was the end of a good series. Dumbest writer in history

[@EternalNightMare89]

People let's be serious, Peter was getting extremely powerful after he also learned how to access the ability of Intuitive Aptitude, which greatly enhanced all of his powers too, so Peter's powers had to be limited to a certain extent. I am the minority here who truly believed that his new ability of replication which he acquired later was just fine.
