Hiro to fight the T-Rex(really)

[He-Man]

The T-Rex is scientifically inaccurate? That's only if you're dumb enough to think that any big dinosaur with big teeth is a T-Rex.


That has to be some of the worst logic ever.

What we saw was what was in the painting. Case closed.

Ok.

If you notice I was quoting someone else. The point I was trying to make had nothing to do with if it was a t-rex or not. It was about the painting background being different and that wasn't the sword.
If you had loooked at my earlier post when I said

Spoiler

The sword wasn't out like in the painting(it was a replica), there was no fire in the background like in the painting. They were just throwing out some misdirections tonight.Once he gets the sword from Linderman we'll see what happens.

 

[Mysterio]

some of the details aren't exact, but the general image is. this isn't something new. it's happened in other paintings. we've seen the painting, we've seen the same live shot of Hiro. this is it. move on.

 

[newwaveboy87]

Just my opinion, but to make him fight an actual dinosaur would be a jump the shark moment.

maybe, maybe not. depends on how it plays itself out.

everyone else is calling it a T-Rex. i said that the T-Rex was scientifically inaccurate, if it is even one at all. i never said i believed it was one. a T-Rex didn't have the strange bone shape sticking out of it's head and couldn't stand up right.

what's the deal with you Heroes posters? you're all so cranky and constantly set in a-hole mode.

what reason would Hiro have to go back to the museum? i think that was it. Hiro stood in front of the dinosaur with sword raised, regardless of whether or not it was still in its hilt.

because that wasn't the real sword. we've seen that he gets the real sword because of his future self visiting Peter during the present time. so, he still needs to jump in time and get the sword.

so, he's got no reason to go back to the museum. the sword wasn't even there in the first place. it really wasn't that hard to figure it out.

the real sword is coming. i bet so is the real dino.

dinosaur conversion, over

b**** and moan all you want, it's over

If that wasn't the dinosaur moment then why would the camera pull out and give us the same exact view as the painting. Also, the paintings aren't always an exact depiction of what happens. In the painting of Peter flying the sky is orange and in actuality the sky was blue. So the argument that the background of the dino painting isn't the same is a moot point. I think that's what we will get as far as Hiro and a dinosaur goes and I'm happy with it. Adding an actual dinosaur may be a bit much even for this show.

that's orange?
looks like sunrise to me. which is when Peter's flying incident happened.

Ok so it's an orange/pink color fine. But this certainly is not....

Also if you notice the building isn't red brick like the painting. So the paintings are clearly just a representation and not exactly what happens.

 

[newwaveboy87]

that color isn't orange. it's got pinks, purples, and blues in it. there is no orange.
that building is brick, just not that bright color.

the dino scene in the museum was blue with other things in the background, the dino was too small, the sword wasn't real/unseethed, and the dino and Hiro sizes were all wrong.

the painting with Peter did show up in the show in that scene. it just wasn't in that screen cap you got.

Yes there are pinks and purples and even orange but thats not the debate. It's a different color sky than is actually in the scene with Peter jumping. The building is also a different color than the actual building Peter jumps off of. The point is that the pictures aren't exactly what happens in the show. They merely give you an idea of what will happen. We had an idea that Hiro would fight a dinosaur in the show. When you actually think about it the painting doesn't show Hiro fighting a dinosaur it only shows him holding up a sword posing in front of a dinosaur and we got exactly that.

 

[newwaveboy87]

they give you more than an idea they show you what will happen.
Peter's flying picture is painted at sunrise. in the show that's when it occured.

everything was wrong in the adaptation between the painting of Hiro and the actual scene with Hiro. it was highly superficial and felt like a misdirection to get the fans abuzz.

 

[Nebins]

So lets say they show you what will happen exactly instead of just an idea of what will happen. It never shows Hiro fighting the dinosaur. It shows Hiro in front of a dinosaur with a sword. So since this has already been shown it won't be shown again. There will be no more dinosaur in the show.

 

[newwaveboy87]

it shows Hiro with his sword drawn towards a dinosaur with a bright orange background on a rocky terrain. how that sounds/looks/could be taken as the museum scene is beyond me.

Hiro still needs to get the real sword. once he gets that, then we should see as to whether or not the painting was truly misleading. as of know the option is still open.

 

[Nebins]

If you look at the picture again you'll see there is no rocky terrain, just an orange cloudy background. But, the background doesn't mean anything. Like I proved before with the comparison on the background color of the Peter pictures, the background can change. Obviously we aren't going to get each other to agree with the other one. We'll just have to agree to disagree and see what happens once he gets the real sword.

So, Hiro DID fought a CGI dinosaur after all.

Sorta.

Yep, the image of Hiro and the Dino, as seen on TV, was tinkered digitally.

Anyhoo, nice ep.

 

[newwaveboy87]

exactly.
so, dear fans, STOP THE ****ING NAME CALLING!!

how old are most of you people? until Hiro gets the real sword that image can not be written off yet. much like it took the first half of the season to find out who was going to explode, the second half of Claire's painting, and....:mind goes blank on third image:


there wasn't a rocky terrain? i thought they were standing on one? oh well. but orange smokey looking background is far too different from a painted room in a musuem to look like the sky to even possibly match up like a pink rising sun pic and a pale blue sky in my mind.

Also, if you read the recent interview with James Kyson Lee (Ando) he has some insight into the dinosaur thing.

TVGuide.com: We've seen the painting of Hiro and a dinosaur. Are you with him when he faces off with the T. rex?
Lee: [Laughs] Yes, I am with him, I am in the vicinity. Now, where that's going to take place will be a great surprise. In fact, when we come back [tonight], that's going to be Episode 12, and boy, that's a great, great, great episode. It's a fun one.

 

[newwaveboy87]

i don't believe anything anyone says in press interviews about shows like this, Lost, Grey's....any show really.

i remember when this season of Grey's started and they asked Dempsey when the McDreamy/Meredith was going to happen and he said soon into the season. it took until the end of the first half.

that's soon?

 

[Mysterio]

the painting of Sylar's shadow cast over the dead cheerleader didn't 100% happen either. but the general idea happened. last night was it for the dinosaur. it did what it was supposed to do: made people talk.

If the background of Isaac's painting had shown a museum then the fake out wouldn't have worked, would it? And that's exactly what it was...misdirection. It got people speculating about whether or not Hiro was going to fight an actual live dinosaur. The same as everyone was on the edge of their seat wondering whether Peter was going to die at the homecoming. Well, now we have the answer. End of story. No cgi dinosaur battle. As for the sheathed, unsheathed thing I'd say it's the same as the producers choosing to hide the actual location of where the painting is taking place. Why Hiro would be raising a sheathed sword towards a dino would have caused the audience to question the true nature of the painting just as the museum background would have. Plus, the unsheathed sword just made for a more dramatic painting.

If you keep holding out for Hiro to fight a genuine living dino in the past then you are going to be disappointed. That is unless the producers decide to throw you a bone and have it happen in the second season. It would still be kind of ridiculous, though.

 

[newwaveboy87]

i'm not holding out. i'm just not discounting any possiblity in a show where someone flies, another can mimic others powers, and someone can suck another person's powers out of them by killing them. any and every storyline is open.

oh please, we all knew Peter wasn't going to die.
he's also not going to die when he turns into the bomb at the end of the season. it's rather obvious.

 

[Amphibatheatre]

While, true, that no one in their right mind thought peter was actually going to die the fact remains that the show runners are going to use the ambiguous nature of Isaac's paintings to continually try to fool the people watching the show. They did it with the painting of Peter, the painting of the dead cheerleader and now they have done it with the dinosaur. With that in mind, the whole question of "is that the true reveal of the dinosaur?" should be put to rest.

 

[newwaveboy87]

dead cheerleader painting?
we all knew Claire wasn't going to die. you can't really kill an invincible cheerleader.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

dead cheerleader painting?

There was a cheerleader, and she died a very deadly death.

 

[Amphibatheatre]

dead cheerleader painting?

The show has shown that Claire could be killed if she takes damage to her brain. She didn't actually begin regenerating until the sharp stick was taken out of her head. So, if Sylar is removing peoples brains then, yeah, Claire could have been killed. Still, that's a moot point since the ambiguous nature of the painting fooled us into thinking it was Claire that was going to die when that wasn't true. It was another cheerleader all along.

Also, we know that John McClane is going to survive in the Die Hard movies but that doesn't mean the filmmakers won't put him in as much peril to make you momentarily question whether he will or won't. It's the same with Isaac's paintings. We may surmise that they aren't really going to kill one of the stars of the show but that doesn't mean they shouldn't allude to the fact that they may just do that very thing at any moment. Otherwise, it wouldn't draw you back each week.
