Find a flaw
Literally the best comic adaptation.

It looks like a failed test run for Season 1 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars

>>149470985 (OP)
Snyders movie is better

>>149470985 (OP)
It looks sterile.

>>149470991
It looks like a Telltale Game.

The fact that Watchmen is probably the best American comic and the best animated adaptation it can get is a crappy looking DTV release is depressing.
Random 80's OVAs look better. Watchmen should have an adaptation on par with Akira. But the American industry is a joke.

Why did hand drawn animation go away? Is digital really better

>>149471733
digital is cheaper from a labour standpoint because traditional animation was unionised

Hand drawn is expensive. You only got so many handdrawn cartoons in the 80s and 90s because it was outsourced to asian sweatshops!

Well yeah, '80s OVAs are literally the technical peak of anime, they were made during the economic bubble when the industry was flush with investment cash. The Japanese economy has still not truly recovered from 1992, it was to them as 2008 was to the west.

I wouldnt say the best, its like asking for sugar but they gave me aspartame.

I've wanted something like this for years and they fucked it up with awkward CGI animation and a terrible voice cast.

There are still traditionally animated shows even if the ink is done digitally.

they censored manhattan’s penis

Release the cut or uncut cut.

DC just wants to keep the comic in print. They don't care about putting out an actually solid adaptation.

>>149472743
There is still a difference between hand drawn and stylus drawn.
And how common are the digital handdrawn cartoons and movies?

>There is still a difference between hand drawn and stylus drawn.
I know, but there are still shows and movies after 2000 that were still hand drawn even if they were colored digitally . Like Redline for example.

I didn't like how they telegraphed Adrian's villainous nature in the first scene with him. It's supposed to be a real surprise that he's the one behind everything, but that first meeting he already feels vaguely suspicious.
I also hated how sterile everything was. Biggest piece of worldbuilding the comics utilized was graffiti, and yet every single exterior is completely clean.

>>149474485
Oh yeah, and skipping Rorschach's return to his apartment after jailbreak AGAIN. One of his most sympathetic moments.

No sense in trying to rank mediocrity.

>>149471733
it cuts out a massive amount of soulless repetition.

>>149471020
snyder's movie gets one of the central characters wrong, it will always be a middling adaption for that alone.

>>149474449
But they became a minority and everything uses digital animation.
And is what we meant.

>>149470985 (OP)
The scene where the fat man steps on the watch removes the little boy crying. Face it, Watchmen was only meant to be a comic book. The medium is the message.

>>149475892
I thought you meant that it "completely went away" which is wrong. They didn't care enough to give watchmen an actual proper adaptation.

>>149470985 (OP)
Well?

>Doesn't try to emulate the colors at all
>Uninspired voice cast
>Mangled pacing
>Changes the order of some scenes which flows horribly
>Rorschach actor pronounced Pagliacci incorrectly
>That very blatant animation error during the prison scene
>The fact that it's in 3D
>Animation is pretty stiff
>Decided to do a movie and not just make a 12 part series that covers each issue

Not gonna compare it to Snyder's film because funny enough its almost like an adaptation of his Watchmen instead of the book itself. The only good Watchmen adaptation is the Motion Comic
