Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Misfits is more about flawed people getting powers.

Great show, but not the "limits of superman and how normal people react" theme being discussed.

Thats fair, I just like the show :)

I wish Robert Sheehan had stayed on for season 4. Joe Gilgun was a different shaped peg for that (r)hole. Not bad, just too different.

Yeah, agreed, it felt like a different show after S3. Still some good episodes in there though.

Too be fair, Klaus in the Umbrella Academy is almost the same character with almost the same powers.
