NBC’s The Cape Is Heroes Done Wrong

By Graeme McMillan | @graemem | May 18, 2010 | +

The first trailer for new NBC superhero series The Cape suddenly makes the network’s reason for canceling Heroes clear: They wanted you to feel that things used to be better in the old days before characters used stretchy magic capes to fight crime and win back the love of their children. Remember those halcyon days when saving a cheerleader saved a world?

    I don’t know, it looks pretty cool to me. I thought I was pretty frackin jaded, but apparently not compared to Graeme.

    This looks far too annoying to be allowed to live.

    Heroes season 1 was Heroes done right and Heroes seasons 2+ was Heroes done wrong.

    Y’know what I think when I see a publicity photo like that? Too lazy to shave, too wussy to grow a decent beard, too incompetent to care.
