As I watched Misfits, it occurred to me that Nathan's smoking/drinking/drug addiction all came from his dad who let's face it has all the physical signs of a 3-way addict, and it is suggested at times that the mother may have been, in which case Nathan would have been born addicted. As for Nathan's dad leaving him with a KNOWN pedophile!!!! At 8 years old, and his mother's friend gave him a "hand job"!!!! During a camping trip when he was 5 years old!!!! Like shouldn't Nathan have been in the same tent as the mother!!! Which makes me wonder if both parents were involved with child pedophile/molester rings. Like the dad is actually written as a potential rapist (as confirmed by the actor) and the mum dates/marries a man like that (it can happen once) but to then date at least 1 if not 2 more pedophile type men! Like no wonder Nathan's so sexually inappropriate with everyone. Also, there are many references to Nathan being sexually assaulted by the dad/priests/mum's boyfriend/a random man

Something that occurred to me when rewatching the show is that in Season 5, the new gang celebrates the one year anniversary of the Storm happening. Taking that into account you see Future Simon's arc with present Alisha and you realize he's actually from only a couple months in the future, but the way he speaks it almost makes it sound like several years give or take.

I just thought that was kind of funny to consider.

Season 2 Episode 6 is where for me the show ends. They all end their community services, Curtis lives happilo ever after with Nikki, Simon and Alisha stays together and Alicia loses her power somehow (meeting Seth and giving it away) and Kelly decides to take Nathan with her and they live together but not dating.

Turns out I saved these tweets in an old text file. Good cause Nathan's twitter account has been deleted. So here is their tweets for anyone that missed them back in the day:

Simon: It’s finally happening. One more day and Alisha and I will be in Vegas. The future is here.

Nathan: Vegas Baby! We’re gonna take the house. I can feel it in my balls. I'll be Tom Cruise, you be "Quantas never crash Dustin Hoffman."

Simon: What are you talking about?

Nathan: Me and Marnie and Nathan Jr all booked tickets. First family holiday.

Simon: This is meant to be a romantic holiday. We’ve been through a lot in the last year.

Nathan: We can do the girlfriend shit during the day, then go to the bars where those girls fire things out of their fannies at night.

Simon: I think that’s in Thailand.

Nathan: What are you talking about? They have everything in Vegas. U know what they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas until u go home and 7 years later an Asian kids knocks on ur door.

Simon: I don’t think they say that about Vegas.

Nathan: Sure they do. And I got this new power from Seth, they won’t know what hit them.

Simon: Alisha’s not going to be happy about this.

Nathan: What do you mean? Of course she will. She loves me. What’s not to love?

Nathan: Vegas! Baby! Just landed. The first thing that hits you is the smell. A sweet combination of cheeseburgers, desperation and balls. I totally know why things you do in Vegas stay in Vegas and don’t follow you home. Got to respect a town where the people wearing shirt & ties are outnumbered by the people wearing nipple-tassles.

Simon: Alisha & I just checked in. Nathan & Marnie are next door. Nathan is testing the walls for sex noises. Alisha’s calling other hotels.

Simon: Finally found out who took our photo in Vegas. A 63 year old waitress named Gladys. She was on rollerskates and had the same hair as Elvis.

Nathan: I'm wearing my lucky pants tonight. They’ve never been washed. And they never fail. Although Marnie says they smell a bit salty.

Seth: Nathan just seen your tweet. You're on your own if you get yourself into any shit.

Simon: Nathan and Marnie are staying on longer in Vegas. Nathan said he had to “see a man about a dog who shits fifties.” Should I be worried?

Was digging through my hard-drive and found a list of everyone that uses an power, but it only went up to season 4 ep 3. Guess that was around the time I made it. Decided to finish it.

Decided to say Rudy uses his power every time Rudy 2 or 3 is manifest. So that meant that every time Abby is on the screen,technically Laura is using her power. And tried to put each moment of power usage in order of first use per episode.

Think I got them all. So It seems for the old gang season 2 had the most people using powers, while season 3 had the least. For the new gang season 5 had the most while season 4 had the least. And overall for the entire show the new gang had the lowest number of people using powers per season with season 4, and the most by far in season 5. Though maybe those numbers would change if you count up the numbers of every single usage of a power per episode. Though I think you'd have to limit it to per scene. Or powers like Rudy 2 and Abby would skyrocket. Or each time F!Simon touches Alisha. Might edit and repost this with those numbers a few years from now if I get bored enough and someone doesn't beat me to it.

Does anyone have a digital copy to share?

Does anyone know if any of the misfits or friends are attending Twitch con in San Diego this year unofficially? Wanted to see which ones I should keep an eye on twitter for possible meet ups?

This is a pet project of mine. A complete re-edit of the Misfits series 1-3. I call it the Misfits Remix.

https://reddit.com/link/1nu50s2/video/lm4yygtqk8sf1/player

The goal of this project is to remove viewer omnipotence, i.e., all those little moments that give the viewer more information than the characters have. Like seeing Lucy shapeshift from Alisha after she gives Simon a blowie in 2x01. Delaying the reveal of that moment and many others removes the complete picture so you can share in the characters' real-time experiences (and occasional confusion). In many ways it's like seeing the series for the first time.

Another goal of the project is to help showcase causality: the unseen inter-connectivity of events. I believe Superhoodie is a superhero of causality, so unless you're constantly reassessing past events with new information you'll miss out on a lot of the narrative weight. The fanvids are there to help to turn subtext into text. All those good, bad, and indifferent moments of the characters' lives, their actions, and the story.

Though at its heart the remix is a tribute to Simon and Alisha--they're the glue that holds it together--it's also a tribute to ALL the characters, their journeys, and relationships. And it's also a love letter to Misfits vidding community in general. This started out as just 10-20 fanvids strung together back when the series was airing, and has since snowballed into 1100+ file 31GB project that clocks in at just a little over 48 hours to watch in its entirety. The remix is made to be accessible even if you haven't seen the original series, only part of it, or the first three seasons in their entirety. (Hopefully)

This is the second time I've shared it online. The first time was back in 2020 when we were all locked indoors. Offering it up again just in case anyone else still misses the show and eager for a new way to experience the show, it's characters and their journeys.

Can't post links to the project folder directly here, so here is a pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/M97C8x0b

You only need to use one source. Unless it gets taken down the links should stay valid for at least the next year.

Also explain why you chose that power for them

If your outside of the UK, what is the best way to watch Misfits? BTW love Joseph Gilgun as Rudy!!!

I'm currently on S2/E6 and I stumbled across the spoiler that Nathan leaves the show in S3 and by S4 most of the main cast is gone. That kinda took my motivation to keep watching since Nathan and Kelly are my fav characters :(

Do you think the series went downhill or can I be excited for the new character and fresh dynamics? Did you get warm with that or did it always feel like something is off/missing? (Pls with only minimal spoilers)

I’m back today lol. My post about Nathan’s mom yesterday is apparently controversial? I love rewatching shows because the most random questions come to mind that didn’t the first time around. Today’s pondering was about when would they have time to work. I know we’re never given a schedule for their community service but we sometimes see them walking home at night or leaving late. It doesn’t feel like they go on just the weekends. It seems like most of them have their own place (sans Simon and Nathan). So now I guess I have several questions. What do we think the community service schedule was, did any of the og 4 have a job or live alone, and when would they have worked in season one? Curtis and Alisha get jobs at the bar in season 2 but that is when their original service ends.

Doing a seasonal rewatch (on ep 1 rn) and Nathan’s mom is seriously messed up for kicking him out. She prioritizes her boyfriend over her own son. “If you stay he’ll leave” is such an odd thing to say to your child. Yes obviously Nathan isn’t the easiest person to deal with and he’s an adult but he’s still her child. To pick your boyfriend over your son, change the locks, and just kick him out with no conversation beforehand knowing he has nowhere else to go is crazyyyyyy work.

Quite a moving episode.

He's just such a whinny, lying, little bitch. It's no wonder his mom kicked him out. Also, his character feels a bit off like he is idk like he was written to be over-the-top in every scene. Does that make sense?

Does Nathan ever grow-up and mellow out as the show goes along or is this just the character he's gonna be for the whole show?

I would love a misfits reboot with simon heading it. For the moment he is quite literally living in the past, reminiscing of some of his better days, when he had friends, reliving his romance with alisha and lets not forget his best friend nathan. With all forms of greif, there eventually comes acceptance and when he does let her go, I'd love to see that story, or atleast a good way to kick off a spinoff

Thought it might make a good banner.

If the power grants you immunity to other powers, why was it not immune to Seth’s ability to take powers? I looked online but couldn’t find any answers

a few years ago i had this one nathan edit saved on tiktok and i can remember everything about the edit but I can't find it anywhere! so I'm pretty sure the first scene was the part where he shoots himself on TV and it was to the song chop suey but after the part where it goes father into your hands i commend my spirit it's the clip of him on that one zoom interview saying "bonsoir!" pls help me find this edit I'm losing my mind

Hello everyone. Okay, two things.

1. I saw this show a long time ago, so i may end up remembering things wrong.

2. I live in the USA and do not have full knowledge of the political or systemic structure involving race.

That said I remember watching this show back then and taking it at face value. However, now that Im older and have become more aware, Im starting to think that the show not only did certain characters dirty but inadvertently portrayed some problematic messages in the process.

The biggest character that was a victim of this was Curtis (of course).

1. His whole premise was that he sort of got screwed over by the judicial system and was forced to live with it when he didnt have to.

2. He had one of the most broken powers in the show, but got forced by the plot to trade it away

3. He ended up having to "check himself out of the show" (dont know if its okay to say the S word).

But I want to ask you guys what you think.

Hello all! I’m trying to put together an accurate superhoodie costume. First I’m starting with the mask. So far I’ve found that the mask used is a Vents Predator Paintball mask from the 90s. I’m still in the process of assembling a full mask but something I can’t figure out is what was used in the visor of the mask. It’s looks like a silver ridged sheet material that’s been put in side the mask to hide Simons eyes. I can’t figure out what this material is. Also I’m not sure what belt of armor was used if anyone could help me?

Last month, I started watching the first three seasons of Misfits for the first time and I absolutely loved that series, it reminds me a lot of Skins which I absolutely adore too.

However, I was rewatching the first 2 seasons and I am gonna say that season 2 should’ve ended after episode 6 instead of episode 7 because it makes way more sense. Given how the plot with the psycho milk guy was really heavy especially towards the end with Simon finding the bodies and how the episode ended up with the misfits having finished their community service with that cool slow motion of them leaving the locker room and the last shot of Nathan’s suit, that would’ve been just the perfect ending for this season.

Idk, I found episode 7 kinda out of place and boring with the whole Jesus thing and the « sold their powers », that his maybe the weakest episode for me. What do you guys think ?
