‘Heroes Reborn’ Review: “Game Over”
Sabrina Petrafesa ’18/ Emertainment Monthly Executive Publisher
Tommy Clark (Robbie Kay) is being angsty, which is hysterical because he’s being so broody, teleporting his girlfriend to Paris, and just all around being stupid after he was told he was going to help save the world. He’s not the only broody one either. Luke Collins (Zachary Levi) actually tried to kill himself after he literally just bought a boat, but luckily Malina (Danika Yarosh) was there and used her powers to save him. This was the beginning of finally bringing all the relevant characters together. Now Luke and Malina are on the hunt for Tommy to recruit him for their save the world team, which hopefully means the show is going to pick up soon, and pick up fast.
Hiro is finally back, after Miko sacrificed herself to free him and give Hiro his sword back, Hiro emerged from Evernow and it was amazing. Hopefully Hiro will be the first of many. However, now he’s taken Noah back to June 13th when that bomb went off. It looks like they’re trying to stop Renautus before they even get started, which might mean Miko and Quentin will never die, but then that raises so many more questions. If they stop the bomb then who is the “big bad”? Are Tommy, Luke and Malina still needed to help save the world? If Luke’s son never died, would Luke’s wife still leave him when he figures out he’s an Evo? So many questions after so many answers, but really the question is “Now what?”
