well the first time i saw this my first thought be . oh god no . but a i watch it and it slowly become quite enjoyable . even though i do feel like stan philosophy be a tad outdated and his idea of what a superhero be can get a bit one dimensional and his challenge on the show do seem to bring out the best and bad quality in the contestant . i really like a lot of the twist and elimination result a the show progress . the challenge too be original and entertaining . i find stan performance a a paternalistic guiding host very enjoyable . the contestant too just seem like really nice and entertaining people ( although some of them be a bit dorky and or obviously try to score some act point on their resume and and half of them probably wouldn not make the cut for narcissistic reality show like a. idol or real world ) . i think the only part i do not like ( aside from the corniness and bad music and reality acting and and weirdness of the cast . ) about the show be the costume remake . sci fi should have spend a bit more money on those costume . it really say something that some of the original look good than what be give to them on the show . it give the production value a real blow when you can not even afford a decent costume designer . don not get me wrong though i like the show and saw most of it in one night when sci fi air a bunch of episode straight . ( um . do not ask me why i be watch sci fi . i um . be channel surfing ) .
