Re: The Cape Anyone? I don't really know how I feel about it, but I'll most likely watch it anyway.

Re: The Cape Anyone? I like this summation of the show: http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland ... id=3230785Quote: It's the story of a cop who gets framed for a crime he didn't commit (SNORE!), and to prove his innocence, he joins up with some carnival folk (...what?), dons a cape, and, because he has absolutely zero imagination, calls himself... THE CAPE! Then he runs around town (slower than normal of course, because of, you know... THE CAPE) and uses THE CAPE to disable villains by like... snapping it at them or something. Hey, don't laugh! In the past I've inflicted some serious welts on my showermates using only a rolled-up towel! (Waitasecond. Forget spandex! I could be the world's first towel-clad superhero! And when I whip it off, the criminals will take one look and... NECK SNAP!)

Do you think that the producers purposely developed this show around a more standard/traditional story chassis because Heroes fizzled out, and was perhaps more unfamiliar territory to non-comics folk? I still think it looks cheese-tastic, but is that a good thing or not? I'm torn. My heart says that this may be a mindless, fun, action/adventure show but my head says that this is just trying way to hard.
