Why hasn't there been another season?


Why? Is this show not popular because it's not as shallow as the other reality shows? This show is actually creative and fun. Other shows are all about the hissy-fits and drama. Why? We comic book nerds need to unite and bring back this show! Save the show superhero style!

I know! Im wondering what happened to this show. I wasnt big on comic books but loved this show, I remember Mrs. Limelight and Basura from Season 2, and then I remember that donut lady from season 1, man they cancel all the good shows.

I think a lot of the problems were the prizes. It took a full year for Feedback to get his comic, and his role in a sci fi movie was too small. Season two's winner the Defuser had a bigger role in his movie but it took forever to get his comic out, and I still haven't seen the action figure. Fans got fed up with the shoddy treatment of the winners and the show was not renewed.

It's funny how they go on and on about what makes a hero, but they can't seem to keep their word on the prizes.

Probably because the second season sucked. I was a big fan of the first season and it's characters. Second season and it's characters were boring and I lost interest. I'm sure plenty of other people did too. Shows depend on ratings. They would have renewed if the ratings were high enough. Obviously they weren't.

And obviously the reason the ratings dropped was because people were fed up with the way the winners were treated.


If the winner on Survivor or Amazing Race were never payed I think people would become disgusted with them as well.











Do you understand the words that I am saying to you?

I really doubt the reason the shows ratings dropped were dependant on the treatmant of the winners, as society has shown, if its entertaining we will watch it. Sadly it really wasnt, I watched all of the first season and honestly the question that always ran through my mind was "this is the best they got?"

I mean seriously, for superhero characters it was just pathetic, they couldnt come up with anything less cheesey than fat mama? she gets her powers from eating donuts? and thats a finalist? wtf?

There was little to no entertainment value, and I dont know what the OP was saying about this show not having drama...everyone was overly dramatic, especially feedback in the first season.

They have the most ridiculous idea of being a "superhero" like when major victory was lectured twice for removing his cape...EVERY super hero with a cape has removed it at one point or another, it was just TOO cheesey, which is saying somethign considering its a show about people wanting to be a superhero.

Also feedbacks comic was REALLY lame. Ive read probably about 20k comics in the last 4 or 5 years, and I have seen some great comics and some really bad comics and honestly feedbacks was just boring.

Its just as overly dramatic as every other reality show, its "cuter" ya, but not that entertaining.

Also I like how Stan Lee lectured that heroes dont kill which is why they kicked that one guys character off the show, but in feedbacks comic he basically blew up the bad guy and his minions without a second thought..WTF?
