Has Firing Loeb And Alexander Saved Heroes?

So now we know that NBC is pay attention to all the ill about the commission of Heroes , and hasfired two of the show ’s co - executive producer in reception . Now they ’re rumored to be consideringbringing in Pushing Daisies ’ Bryan Fuller to replace them . But what alter – if any – will the loss of Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander bring to the superhero max ? And are they the correct change to save the show from itself?We report the going of Loeb and Alexander yesterday morning , with the news breaking Sunday evening ; with the exception ofAlexander posting the news on his blog(“I write this with a hard heart . As of today I am no longer a author / manufacturer on HEROES . ” ) anda short , generic scuttlebutt from Loeb to Comic Book Resources , neither have yet commented publically on their removal , nor have NBC or show creator Tim Kring , leave a plenty of mass wondering what ’s going on over there . Many hoi polloi inside and exterior of the TV industry are pointing toEntertainment Weekly ’s cover story about the show ’s third season troublesas the net straw that forced NBC into action , but the question still remains – was firing Loeb and Alexander the correct action ? I consider that it ’s definitely a step in the ripe direction ; Loeb and Alexander were often credited with being in charge of the writer ’ way at the show , and many of the problems that EW ( andus , as well , but at least we did n’t get anyone terminate ) were story - based – but without Loeb and Alexander there , who is in charge of the writing of the show ? EW’sown report of the firingssaid that it “ was unclear ” if the two producer would be replaced ( although subsequent news report are now intimate otherwise ) , which allow for it every bit undecipherable who ’ll step in to provide the show ’s direction , storywise , from now on . The careers of both Loeb and Alexander can also be used to identify some of the show ’s problems in terms of writing – The sudden reveal of Sylar ’s Petrelli heritage , his nonsensical spell towards being a good guy , the return of the previously dead Arthur Petrelli and overall uneven juggle of a far too large cast seem reminiscent of Loeb ’s past times as an Marvel Comics writer from the 1990s – although the show lack the stupid fun of his more current work like Hulk or Superman / Batman – and the never - end plot and flimsy personal trauma of the character harkened back to Alexander ’s beginnings on Alias . The obvious suggestion would be creator Tim Kring himself ; after all , he appeared to beaware enough to identify and own up to the problem of the show ’s 2nd seasonlast year – problems that , tellingly , Loeb refuse existed in interviews – but that ’s does n’t inevitably mean that he has the fourth dimension , availability or even the ability to turn around the show ’s current originative counselling ; look at the way that the third season has gone overboard in the opposite counseling ( and , at the same fourth dimension , returned to old and tired themes and plots ) in trying to run - correct from last year . There aremany other producerson the show , but none of them have the writing experience – or the geek chop – of the axed duo , which does n’t of necessity bode well . axe some more of those producer – including Kring – is , of course , still an choice for NBC , who are said to be unhappy about the show running over budget currently . Were Loeb and Alexander really in charge of the purse strings ? It seems unlikely . Kring is apparently alreadyunder pressure from NBC to simplify the show , demonstrate that the internet is n’t relying on the removal of Loeb and Alexander to save the show alone . Also a problem , at least in terminus of percept , is the nature of the move ; NBC axing executive producers of an underperforming , high - profile , show make for to mind memories of last year ’s incessantly - endangered Bionic Women relaunch , where the ( admittedly humbled ) lineament of the show eventually became irrelevant because the real story became the behind - the - scenes problem … Problems that NBC were never really shown to be able to ready ( BW went through , what , three creative teams on eight episodes of that show ? ) – lead to an impression that the net could n’t fix its own problems … which wo n’t serve with this place .

The best case scenario for both NBC and Heroes as a series , is getting new producers in place who can revitalize the composition of the show , bring a new discipline to the serial that will silence critic , and have some level of swot cred to reassure the hardcore devotee that it wo n’t become ER Plus Flying Dudes . E!Online is claiming that NBC need Bryan Fuller to return to the show post - Pushing Daisies cancellation(although that is n’t of necessity a done deal yet ) , andMeredith ’s already suggested Steven DeKnight as another option , but I ’m guess of a couple of people a little more unexpected ( and a small more employed ): Drew Goddard and Brian K. Vaughan , both currently at Lost . Goddard ’s experience on Lost , Alias , Angel , Buffy ( not to mention Cloverfield ) show that he ’s good with the fantastical , multi - grapheme , labyrinthine nature of a show like Heroes – and also that he ’s able to whittle back a deal of the outgrowth to get to the core of the story , emotions and conception necessary to make said series work – while Vaughan brings a similiar comic rule book experience of major power , superhero team and longform storytelling to Loeb , but with the improver of better ( or , at least , more subtle ) part work and a freshman eye towards how to deal with the stereotype of the musical style . Whatever encounter next , however , one thing ’s for sure – Sunday ’s firings has acquire Heroes from being a troubled show to a symbol of NBC ’s problems as a web ; their stepping in to assay and fix the show in such a public way has meant that it ’s go to become a priority for the people in charge – and one that they ca n’t afford to mess up up . carry through the Cheerleader Show , make unnecessary the internet .
