HEROMAN #03 — Super Saiyarobot

April 15th, 2010

 

You’re killing me here.

Impressions:

Okay, I’m throwing in the towel here. This is just too much. The joke buddy cops was withstandable, Flash Thompson suddenly screaming that he’d never accept Joey as a hero was bad, Joey giving a speech about protecting Heroman (come again?) was worse, Heroman going super sayajin was horrible, the joke about his grandma being totally ignorant of the end of the world and just sitting there knitting was godawful, and the fact that next week’s fight is against a giant CG ball is beyond words that I know, and let me tell you, I know a lot of words. Like Erinaceous. And Susurrus.

The bad writing seems to just be getting worse, the action was outdone by Koihime, and the Skrugg can’t even decide whether they’re going to destroy Earth or enslave it. Last week, everybody was about grabbing up a couple random kids and then detonating the planet. This week they’re all about landing on it and taking it over. Next week, apparently they play pinball with a city. I’ve never been a fan of Bones’ writing in general, but this is just haphazardly awful. At least pick something and stick to it.

At any rate, I’m washing my hands of this. I gave it more than a fair shot and it has abused my faith in it. And now I have to go back to a world where Spectacular Spiderman is being replaced by Ultimate Spiderman and Friends. Damn you, Stan Lee. Damn you.

A giant CG ball. A giant CG ball.

  • moriya2k2 says:

    I find it kind of funny that you think think this show’s trash, but you enjoy ecchi garbage like B-Gata Hei. different strokes, I guess.

    • TOP2NE1 says:

      Ha, so it’s trash because it’s ecchi?

      Genre doesn’t automatically equal entertainment. Shitty writing is shitty.

    • Sabin says:

      B Gata H Kei is way better than this shit..
      I respect Bones and like most of their shows but this is just terrible..

    • Sam says:

      This guy has strange taste, I’ve seen him enjoy some really shitty shows before, but Heroman isn’t even THAT bad. To each his own I guess.

  • ark noir says:

    I heard in next episode, Will could be singing like Dolly Parton to joey about heroman :

    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
    Please don’t take him just because you can.

    A giant CG ball. A giant CG ball.

    I can only imagine Aroduc watching Evangelion for the first time:

    “A giant CG octahedron. A giant CG octahedron.

  • Avisch says:

    BONEs show goes to shit after/during the 3rd episode?
    Never seen that before (SARCASM)

    Sage:

    I lol’d. Good catch.

  • Anon999 says:

    I really miss the days where the Super Robots of old were awesome and had amazing finishing attacks. But HEROMAN is anything but.

    He has no known powers to speak of, instead, he uses his fists to smash down enemies. And what is up with those roach-aliens? Couldn’t Lee find a better design for them, like making them beetle aliens instead?

    But, it would be much better if they sent down a monster-of-the-week instead of sending their own men to get killed.

  • X-3 says:

    Good luck with sneaking aboard an alien spaceship, jock-guy and friend. Here’s also hoping your achieve your clearly stated goals of being a hero and famous.

    As for the CG-ball, I think the cockroaches are going to troll Earth for awhile.
