Talk:Who Wants to Be a Superhero? (season 2)

message: In the 1st episode..there was the part where the superheroes pass through a Chinese dress making store....while the subtitles say that the Chinese women were talking about changing locks....they were actually saying "these people smell bad,they need a shower" DivineBaboon 01:19, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The chart supposedly indicates who completed a task. However, with multiple tasks in the first episode and assuming multiple tasks continue in each episode the chart conflicts with the actual events. Everyone but Basura and Parthenon is named in the text as having failed a task but everyone except the nominated and eliminated heroes are in green because they passed at least one. The color coding is not helpful and indeed the chart itself seems of little utility. Otto4711 16:29, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The chart makes no sense 

message: The chart is not measuring who did or did not fail a task.
The chart is measuring who was or was not nominated for potential elimination.  For the first episode, Braid, Mr. Mitzvah, and Ms. Limelight were nominated (by Stan Lee) to stand on the boxes and defend their decisions, and ultimately Braid was eliminated.  Hence, the chart makes perfect sense, if you know what it is measuring.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Markcronan (talk • contribs) 01:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The chart does make sense 

message: I was looking at the Episode Progress Table for season one, and I noticed that the color scheme used was very different from the one being used for season two.  Personally, I think it would make sense (and look nicer) to keep a consistent appearance between the seasons, but I don't know if season one should be changed to match season two, if season two should be changed to match season one, or if we should come up with an entirely different appearance for them.  Any input? —Mears man 04:32, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Each color can vary except for the "OUT" and "DQ" (red and grey, respectively) colors. Note that Monkey Woman was more disqualified than eliminated in Season 1 (example of a DQ). And the tomato red is usually the color for "OUT". 65.30.24.128 18:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

message: *Do you know why Ms. Limelight and Mr. Mitzvah were nominated again in Episode 2? Someone who reads the article might want to know in case they missed it. 24.163.151.57 21:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Mr. Mitzvah was nominated because, during the Spelling Bee, he was unable to face his fears (he covered his face with a cloth), and this kept him from effectively aiding his team in Stan's eyes.  Ms. Limelight was nominated because, when Stan called her in to ask her about her powers, she was unable to articulate her thoughts, and Stan felt that a superhero needed to be better able to perform under pressure. —Mears man 20:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Does anyone think that the Characters and contestants section should not say anything about elimination? I think that section should just say basic stuff about the people and not when they were eliminated, leave that for the chart. Also, someone might not have seen the episodes yet, and don't want to know about the elimination untill they do. Rhino131 19:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't necessarily see a reason that the information should be removed, especially since Who Wants to Be a Superhero? (Season 1) only lists why the hero was eliminated for most of them.  To me, it's a quick way for someone to figure out when and why each hero was eliminated without having to read through the lengthy episode summaries.  I suppose I wouldn't be against it if consensus was met otherwise as long as the information was still covered in the article, but for the moment I see no reason to remove it.  Also, people who have yet to see a particular episode of the show should realize that information pertaining to that episode will probably be present in this article, and if they don't wish to view it they should know not to look at an article about it.  There's no reason why we should leave information out of this article just because someone may not have seen an episode of the show yet. —Mears man 20:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, I see your point. I was just thinking we could say who was in the show without giving too much away, but I understand your point of view. Rhino131 02:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Would it be okay to use this site as a source for this article?  I know it's an unofficial fan site, but it's run by Dan Williams (Parthenon) and contains a profile of each of the superheroes, including their superpowers and back story.  It contains a lot of information I haven't been able to find elsewhere, but I can see how it could be argued that the source is unreliable or biased.  Still, it seems to me that even if it couldn't be used for the other characters, it should at least be able to be used for Parthenon, seeing as the statements about him are coming from the hero himself, but I guess I wanted to see what others thought about it. —Mears man 21:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Somebody's going to need to take the time to expand the episodes 7 and 8. There is much more information to be added than what is there, not just the challenges too, there is more to say about the time in the lair, stan's thoughts, the real "essence" of the show, if you will. Problem is, that would take time to do and I'm not sure if anyone has that amount of time to devote to it. But lets try to get it done soon. Also, will the Defuser get his own page like Feedback? I thought it was decided the winner would get one. Thanks. Rhino131 19:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Feedback now has additional things (like online interviews, Mega Snake, etc.) to add to an article. The Defuser (whom one of my family members works with in Austin, by the way) needs to do more post-show stuff to merit an article. Jarret has been busy just teaching detectives the last couple of months. He didn't even go to Comic-Con with Stan. We saw Hyper-Strike and Hygena there. Wryspy 04:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Feedback didn't go to any conventions (that I saw at least) before he was announced as the winner of Season 1 - it was always Major Victory and Fat Momma. So it might be that they have been intentionally keeping the winner off of the publicity circuit until he was announced. Of course, Feedback got an article right after he won, before the rest of his activities. So there is precedent for the Defuser having an article. The win on the show, the upcoming comic appearance, movie and action figure could be considered sufficient notability. Blade 17:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that this is a forum, but I suspected it might be the case that they were deliberately keeping the winner out of the public eye until he was announced. Anyway, we need links for sources other than the show for all those other things on Defuser before he merits his own Wikipedia article. Wryspy 05:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: True, the page will have to be more than "The Defuser was the winner of Who Wants to be a Superhero", but once more information is out, then he will be noteworthy for a page. Rhino131 12:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episodes 7 and 8 

message: I was just wondering if there was any reason for the winner being listed at the top of the list and everyone beneath being listed in the order that were eliminated.  To me it sees like it would make more sense to list them based on how long they were in the show.  This way, the characters like Braid who weren't on the show very long aren't at the top of the list and readers would be able to find information about the heroes that were on the show longer, such as Hygena and Hyper-Strike, without having to read through the entire list.  I don't know if I'm making much sense (I feel a bit like Ms. Limelight at the moment), but to me it would make more sense to list the character descriptions in the same order they appear in the Episode Progress Table. —Mears man 11:54, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been months and nobody has commented or left a response, so I went ahead and made the changes I suggested last September. —MearsMan talk 14:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
