Heroes vs. Lost

Heroes vs. Lost

Jason Matthews, from TheJay.com, compare two greatest show on TV side by side.

When the pitch on Heroes first crossed media lines, the buzz was unkind. It was immediately deemed a Lost rip off, which at the time seemed spot on. The two shows have a lot more in common than you might suspect.
They both have:

  • A plot revolving around a group of strangers coming together to figure out how to cope with their new situation in life.
  • A one-named title with a double meaning
  • A multi-racial, multi-ethnic cast of beautiful people.
  • A slew of the same type of characters: self-righteous male lead, mysterious older white guy that has all the answers, resident slamming hottie, seemingly unnecessary blonde bombshell, middle eastern guy with emotional baggage, Asian couple with translation problems, kid with special powers and a bad dad, long-haired bearded rebels and of course, an all-important set of numbers.

He wrote about all of characters but the number stuff is greatest!

More Interesting Set of Numbers
Lost has “4 8 15 16 23 42″, a set of numbers I could care less about, despite how powerful Hurley, Locke or Damon Lindelof would like me to believe they are. On the other hand, Heroes has “8/21/07â€? the date of Hayden Panettiere’s 18th birthday, which is a set of numbers I’m sure we can all agree are far more exciting.
Advantage: Heroes

    Agreeing with the previous post except the lost is best part..

    If you say that heroes is a lost ripoff you might as well say that everything is a lost ripoff.

    Would be so much better if Heroes took really ugly people as actors, I mean better that than “rip-off” LOST.
