Significantly better writing and acting than Heroes and looper. Not sure how it's like Watchmen... Or looper... Or Heroes actually. Unless you mean on the very basic superficial top level of "omg time travel" and "omg powers".

It's a TV show about heroes (Heroes), but they're dark/fucked-up heroes (Watchmen) and there's time-traveling hitmen (Looper). I wouldn't call it a cross between those three, but seeing how/why a connection is made between those three and this, is pretty fucking straight forward.


e: Only three episodes in, but I'm enjoying it. Some bad acting, bad writing throughout, but it's been an overall enjoyable show thus far. I'm curious to see how it plays out.

Which is basically a fucking useless comparison to make because every single thing listed can be replaced with "insert thing with time travel here" or whatever.

I wasn't aware that time travel and hitmen often mixed, please provide me with a list of every movie that fits this description, I'd love to watch them.

Again, it's easy to see how/why the comparison was made. I already said I wouldn't call it a cross between those three, but you just like to get hung up on little shit.

Inb4 OMG, NO YOU DO THAT.

How self-absorbed do you gotta be to reach that conclusion? I reiterated what I said before and pointed out that you always get worked up over inconsequential or irrelevant shit. I didn't realize stating the obvious would hurt your feelings so much. If it bothers you that much, maybe you should work on it? We all have shortcomings, nothing wrong with working on them.

>Me: they aren't alike in any meaningful way, only surface level "omg they both have time travel" bs.

>>You: herpdaderp you idiot they are similar because they both have time travel, God you're stupid, but I don't think they are similar at all.

>Me: ....

>>You: you always get upset over everything why don't you fix all your bs.

Yep, that's exactly how that conversation went down. Let's all take a minute and bask in the glory that is Blah's levelheadedness, he's a credit to his species.
