I don’t watch Heroes, though I have read quite a few positive things about it. Well, the recent revelations of the events of the season finale/”flash-forward” that is the subject of the final episodes of the season has quite a few people complaining that a major plot twist has quite a bit in common with Alan Moore’s epic Watchmen comic series from the early nineties. So much that accusations of teheft has been made. Well, I love Watchmen and from what I know about the plot twist I have to give the critics some due – they have a point.
Here’s an article that even proposes the similarities will sabotage the forthcoming Watchmen movie adaptation. Worth reading, especially the comments.
