Synopsis 2

The final episode showcases the 3 unlikely finalists to be crowned the World's Next Top Superhero!

 

Director Notes

I can't believe how many reality TVs that are floating around on TV that I decided to create a parody on the 'reality' shows. It really pokes fun at the formulaic properties of these shows by trying to extract emotion and narrative of the contestants, judges who love and hate the contestants and the attempt to recreate smoke and mirrors of these shows. In the end, the winners are manufactured, diluted and then forgotten.
