I liked how they dealt with the first one without even using their powers and then went back to doing lazy stuff.

Yeah, I'd watch a whole series around this premise. It has a lot of promise. Give it a coat of polish and we're talking grade A stuff here.

Sounds like Misfits.

Misfits on 4od [http://www.channel4.com/programmes/misfits/4od], not sure if this will let you stream the video if you're outside the U.K. but if you are a Brit you can watch it.
Misfits is awesome! As was this, surprisingly.

And let's be honest - most teenagers with superpowers would be lazy douchebags rather than heroes
Yeah, if I had powers I'd totally abuse them

That was really nicely done. Those effects were amazingly good for such a video.

That is AWESOME!

The guys interact great with each other, and are well written and acted for amatures, but c'mon, the cliche no-nonsense female character who's smarter(more powerful), acts superior to the others and constantly complains about how big of idiots the guys are? That's like every videogame comic ever.

If you had the ability to bend space and time, don't you think you'd be a bit up yourself too? I do get what you're saying to, it's pretty cliche.

Haha, I'm not saying she couldn't but the type of character she is has become a little tiresome.

These guys don't seem particularly Lazy nor do they appear to be Teenagers as the title implies. Wasn't entertained by it.

It also reminds me of the British mini-series "No Heroics".

I really liked that. I could see it being one of those awkward comedy movies like Zombieland.

I probably would have liked that film a lot better if it wasn't constantly compared to Kevin Smith/Clerks by the OP. I couldn't help but feel extremely bitter while watching this, especially when these kids kept stumbling all over their lines.

Diablo Cody, maybe, but this doesn't scrape the surface of Kevin Smith's charm at all. At best, this feels more like it's trying to be the Adobe After Effects version of Kick-Ass.

This had some funny parts, but it's definitely not like Kevin Smith. The dialogue in this is self-consciously 'cool,' whereas Smith tends to do vulgar, geeky, or some combination of the two, and comes across like something actual people would say.

Very Misfits.

Which is fine, because Misfits was fucking awesome.

This was pretty cool (Y)

It wasn't amazing. The beginning in particular reminds me too much of the movie Kick-Ass. Nice VFX shots near the end.
