"Powerless", or "How fats are overrunning (overwaddling?) new TV series" I tried to watch the new TV series "Powerless"... and couldn't. I had already given up in disgust halfway through the first episode. The story follows a subsidiary company from Wayne Enterprises run by Van Wayne, Bruce Wayne's (Batman) cousin, that provides security and other services for the normal humans in a city where superheroes and supervillains battle every day. It's supposed to be a comedy, but it was more like horror to me. The company is overrun with fats with bad attitudes and disgusting personalities (not to mention disgusting physiques), which include a few of the main characters. That, coupled with the bad, unfunny "jokes", made it basically impossible for me to see anything but the on-your-face fatties. Here's a sampling. The first one (femayo in white lab coat) is the worst of the bunch, every time it showed up on the screen (which was often), I felt like throwing a brick at my TV.
