I guess I'm the only one who can't stand Hiro! I find him totally annoying!

- he acts like he's 13
- his high pitched voice
- his over reacting on everything freaking thing
- he acts like everything is cutie, sweetie...

Please, I'm getting sick of watching him episode after episode acting like a kid! And the more he's on screen, the more childish he acts. He acted like a 13 yr old kid in the past...now, he's more like 10! Geesh..

I totally disagree.

lol do you know ANYTHING about japanese? that's how they do.

Looks like he's growing up right before our eyes...

Let's hope he won't act like 8 yr old next episode

Hiro > You

That's ok. Thank God I wasn't competing with him

I love Hiro. He is the best. I know he has to but I will be sorry to see him grow up.

Hiro > Peter > Niki.

Everything > Niki.

Everyone except Hiro > Peter.

I think Hiro's cool. He's one of my favourite characters.

How could you dislike Hiro? He's one of the highlights of the show in my opinion heh. If nothing else, just change the channel when he's on, though you may miss something important.

Hiro is the best character on the show. your dislike of him confuses me.

Hiro's popularity confuses me too. I hope they'd just kill him off. But I know that won't happen, cause he's too popular! Sigh!

lol if they get rid of hiro im not watching~! lol

Maybe Peter will die and you'll go away.

There is something deeper here about the person posting this.

Wha!? blasphemy!

Judging by Jettasian's quote i'm pretty sure that she clearly isn't interested in depth of character just a character's hair.

lol.

think of hiro as a comedy relief

I agree with you. He is getting annoying. But this is a character arc. I think he spent the past six months growing up. I think he will be more serious now. But we don't want to lose too much of that personality. He's a great character.

Hiro is good comic relief but seems as if his character is going to get serious. Remember future Hiro meeting Peter on the train?

I couldn't agree more with the original poster. Hiro has grown consistently annoying as the episodes continue. I'm hoping Charlie's death will be the downer he needs to get him to be more grounded. He was great the first 3 episodes but that wide eyed 13 year old mentality he has going on is just getting annoying. I just hope he grows up and doesn't pout like a 13 year old child for the next few episodes but something tells me he's going to be a whiney little bleep for a little while, no Charlie + no powers = big crybaby.

ROFLMAO

With a potent power like Hiro's I doubt he'll be dying off. I do prefer wide-eyed optimistic Hiro to the more serious, dark one shown of future Hiro. But you can better believe he'll be around for some time.

Or maybe he is in touch with his inner kid... nothing wrong with that ... plus i desagree BIG TIME.. i mean ... yes he was dif in the first episodes... but everything is bout learning and so far 2 bad things have happen to him... and nothing wrong with being a cry-baby... everyone would if they lost the person u love OR powers when you had them... thats just MY opinion

Hiro's an otaku. A nerdy anime fan. Combine that with his Japanese heritage and OF COURSE he acts like that. I know AMERICAN otaku who act like that and they only know a little Japanese. Most of them are emulating the over-the-top antics of anime characters, and yes it can get a little annoying sometimes, but I think in Hiro it is endearing. It shows that he is one of the outcasts, on the fringe, even before he was a "hero."

Ok, I think this is a message board, meaning everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, including myself.

It's cool some people love Hiro. I love Peter. And that's cool too. I'm just stating my opinions here. If you don't like Peter, that's cool as well, cause each person has his/her own reason why they like/dislike that person.

But it's not cool for some of you sending me IM and attack me because I don't like Hiro?

Please, grow up! Maybe that's why you like Hiro because you are just as immature as he is.

You know who you are!

I like all of the characters. They are all different. Even Niki (sometimes). Hiro is so funny and childish, he is the opposite of the characters like Nathan or D.L.

Hey there! i just realized something by going through alot of these threads tonite!
YOU HAVE A SUPER POWER!
I see it in every thread!
You are special!
Your super power is..COMPLAINING!
Sheesh Honkey if you don't like anything about the show, just quit watching.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I just realized who you remind me of..."Debbie Downer" off Saturday Night Live" (Trombone sound) MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!


And I'll ask it one more time, take that nasty Peter Petrelli "Backward innie-nipple" pic away! BLECH!

And I'll ask it one more time, take that nasty Peter Petrelli "Backward innie-nipple" pic away! BLECH!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have to disagree. Hiro makes the show. He is sorta the comic relief in this show.

We are all entitled to our own opinions.

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinions. I quite like Hiro. But I won't attack jettisian because s/he does not.

Hiro will grow into a much more mature character. The "future hiro" showed a glimpse of that.

Okay okay jettisian, SURELY you don't think I'M attacking you persoanlly do you?
Point #1)
Seriously, every post of yours Ive seen tonite has been totally negative, again, if you don;'t like the show, turn it. But if you do (which obviously you do) then realize there are going to be things that don't answer all our question, that's, part, of, the, FUN!
Point #2)
You wish they would kill off Hiro?! How then my dear could Hiro save the wonderful Peter Petrelli on the subway fi Hiro couldn't even come back?
I assume Hiro is your least favorite and Peter is your favorite (cause of the inner-nipple shot of him<yuck> but anyway...
I take no sides on this issue, I just try to flow with comedy and logic, my fav character is Nathan for crying out loud, all I'm sayin is, if you really don't like it, turn it as opposed to going on and on about "how you hate Hiro". I guess my thing is, say somethin positive.
Eh, anyway, I gotta get some sleep! Nite all,
GOD bless
Kev

Yeah I think he can be annoying too, and too over the top. You know when he saved DL and that woman from the crash and he was fooling around and being all cute and smiley, WTH was up with that? Just get them out of the way, and stop messing around! I do think he can be adorable, but it's just too much sometimes. Now that Charlie is dead, things may change a bit.

Clearly, you have not read every post I made, so don't say that you have, because that's not true.
And who said what about answering all my question? Can't I dislike a character who just happen to be YOUR FAVE?

I don't go out there and attack people who dislike Peter.




I said I WISH...but I knew it will never happen. What's wrong with that?



This sentence just shows how silly you are.




Again, what's your with me stating how I thought about Hiro?

And what? You want more irritating jerks like Jessica or Nathan? Hiro adds a light hearted bit of the show that without more jaded characters would drag this show to prozacville.

honestly what kind of response did you intend to illicit here.

You could`t have expected an outpouring of crys to toughen Hiro up could you?
I mean myself i feel about peter the way you seem to feel about Hiro..
Honestly if I have to watch him flip his hair one more time I think I an going to go postal climb in to TV with a pair of scissors and have at his hair!
Would i start a total thread bashing him no whats the point. All of these characters are elemental to each other they are all connected .
Hiro acts like many of my girlfriend's relatives when they first step foot in the USA i mean think about this not only has he found out he is special but he is on an entire different continent for the first time.
Hiro is untainted by western culture at this point in the series.
Hes a fun loving comic reading geek from Japan.
Also if you couldn't tell at the end of the show Hiro is at a pivotal point with his powers realizing that he can not change the past.
this series of events will undoubtedly shake some of that boyish charm that many find a major plus.
I mean you have seen future Hiro and he appeared to be one slick nail eating steel ****** individual.

I would have thought the presence of Future Hiro would have killed that hope in you weeks ago.
Hungry? Want a bit of Troll Chow?

topic winner

This seemed like a troll post to me since it is obvious most fans of the show love Hiro. I can see Jettasians point but I think they are just building up a sweet sensitive Hiro to contrast more starkly with the darker version from the future. His change will mean more and be more drastic this way.

how old was he actting when he came back and takled to Peter on the subway? how old was he when he was talking to Ando at the end of this episode, when he confessed to not being able to save Charlie?

the character matures, that's a given, just like all the powers and other characters from this show. and also it is a part of thier culture/society(sp) to act in such a manner. live life to it's fullest!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but how would YOU act if you found out you had a special ability? I think I might act just like Hiro, minus the cutie, sweetie crap.

Yeah! that's right! And anothet thing, I...HEY WAIT A MINUTE, You ratted on my fav character.
Grrrrr, prepare for battle Ling Ling!
Hiya!
(Boot to the head!)

Hahahahahahahahaha! Now THAT, Ladies & Gentlemen, was DESCRIPTIVE!
(suffle ball change, shuffle ball step)
Buh-dum, buh-dum, dum

Sorry you feel that way. I guess you were never a comic book fan, or an adolescent boy who wished he was special, so he could matter in the world.

Hiro represents all of us who would revel in superpowers and their validation of our fantasies of self-merit.

Japanese culture places great emphasis on the tonality of the voice. The most popular singers all have a very high pitched squeaky little kid voice I find annoying. But culturally, Masi Oka is portraying a very common stereotype of the salaryman gifted with superpowers and enjoying (almost) every minute of it, which can be found in, oh maybe a thousand different very popular forms in manga.

Last but not least, Hiro is a big fan of not only manga, but American comics as well. In Japan, comics and graphic novels outself every other form of media. The conventions of the medium are ingrained into Hiro's personality, and are very effectively portrayed. I think these are the things you mention above which annoy you.

BTW, I loved Hiro's reaction - "Great Scott!"

Which one? The flying lesser brother? Or winner of worst mother of the year?

Obvious you don't know anything about Japanese people. If anything, Ando is more like your normal Japanese guy. But just like any OTHER people, they don't fit into one specific mold. Stop stereotyping.

It is like saying D.L is what all black people are like because he's an ex-con.

This was a troll post to begin with. What did you expect?

Note to self: Do not make any negative comments about the fictional character Hiro or you will face the wrath of his real adult trolling posse who will attack you because they can't handle hearing negative criticism.

Get over it, he's a made up character on a tv show, so what if people find him to be obnoxious. Grow up and stop taking it as a personal insult, you are not Hiro so please get over yourself and your own insecurities. If you love him great, then you are free to disagree and state the reasons you love him, we won't attack you for it, so don't attack those of us that are tired of him.

Don't read the thread if it's going to upset you, the thread stated Hiro was annoying so the contents weren't going to be filled with love and sunshine. Amazing that some of you don't even discuss the topic you just look for people to insult who you don't agree with, that is so childish.

Ok so he acts like his 13 for the first couple of show, but lets look at the timeline for these 10 shows,

Day 1 - Discovers power
Night 1 - Parties in the Girls bathroom, teleports to NYC
5 Weeks in the future - NYC blows up teleports to
Day 2 - convinces Ando to go to the US to save NYC
Day 2-4 - Travel Time to LA
Day 3-4 or 4-5 - Viva Las Vegas
Day 5- a couple of days maybe - Gambling,
Day 8 - Travel time to Midland TX

So you want him to change the way he acts in all 10 shows in less then 2 weeks and not the 2 1/2 months that we have watching him. Give him a little chance to grow.

Now that he knows that he could not save Charlie he will start to become the Hiro of the future, hopefully.

I love Hiro.
I think we're supposed to relate to him as a bunch of geeks. [I'm a 23 year old girl, but I relate to him w/ his "woohoo superpowers!" all ready to save the world. It's like he's been playing video games and reading comic books his whole life like a lot of us.]
*I* like him for his lines like "great scott!" which made me like roll around laughing.

he's childish but he's adorable. i think i would be equally as excited and perhaps juvenile if i discovered i had such powers.

Hiro is adoreably wonderfully awesome. *nods*
