People in general were just really fucking stupid in Irredeemable, like the guy who just murders one of the other superpowered siblings because he didn't like him and had been told the siblings shared power. Except it turned out the one he murdered was the source so now the world is even more fucked because it was one of the few people left alive who could still give the Plutonian a fight.
Its really telling how good the Plutonian and a few others are as a character, and a few really good moments, that anyone cares about the story because it is filled with the most retarded, unlikeable characters possible otherwise.
Though I think Invincible is miles worse in that regard so its baffling to me that that is the one they chose to adapt and managed to get super popular.

Probably because it's written by Robert Kirkman who also wrote the comic for The Walking Dead, so execs were looking to jump on another of his projects and at least Invincible was finished. If they try to do the same again with Fire Power then at least comic readers will know it won't end up being done well in part because of how badly Invincible has been mismanaged but also because despite a good start Fire Power doesn't end anywhere near as well as it could have.
