Wtf were they thinking?

>>211547139 (OP)
Ironically the Looking Glass character / plotline is so good it could've fit into the original Watchmen and nobody would've batted an eye but basically everything else about this show is just bewilderingly bad.

>>211547139 (OP)
It was great. quit whining about it.

>>211547720
Millions of people enjoyed it and wished they made another season.

>>211547139 (OP)
Nobody was going to watch their show about blecks rioting in the 1920s, so they added the Watchmen IP.

>>211547821
>Millions of people enjoyed it and wished they made another season
Imagine how awful race-swapped DIE shows have to be to get canceled after one season at the zenith of the woke era lol.

>>211547924
It was a mini-series, though. It's supposed to be short.

>>211548001
They didn't start calling it a miniseries until it was canceled.

>>211547139 (OP)
The same thing they've been thinking with every fucking entertainment product made in the past decade, retard.

>>211547821
Millions of soi amerimutts liked it, I wouldn’t call them people

>>211547139 (OP)
Idc what you fags say. The mirror man episode and Jeremy Irons as Ozy was turbokino. Sure the series is mid, but it's not a total shitshow as /tv/ hollered for years.

>>211547333
>could've fit into the original Watchmen
Not really, since it is rather a generic character. The actor slayz it, but there is not enough substance to talk about him. One episode shows a little background, but thats it.

>>211547358
No, it wasnt. I could write a better, more true to the source material sequel!

>>211548303
>if you stand on this corner of the property, you can't see the open sewer
I'm still not buying.

>>211548001
>>211548074
There were some articles were they said it could be their new GoT series. It wasnt a mininfrom the start.

Kek what a cancelled bitch

>>211548138
You’re brown.

I remember the generals for the show and how almost nobody was actually watching it by episode 5

>>211549360
Imagine defending any of this cash in slop

>>211547139 (OP)
The show the filtered /tv/.

let's argue the same old same old
but I still hate a lot of things about this show.
I hate how all the main characters can't have a god damn flaw. God forbid you show a man in the 60 slapping his wife or the main character hating Vietnamese people, despite taking their lands and despite the Vietnamese terrorist attacks.
a mind control device was "too unrealistic" for this world were a whole opens in the sky and squids came out.
also "black people aren't violent! the KKK has a mind control device that makes them behave like that" EXCUSE ME? You fuckers should love this series because that shit was racist as fuck.
also a bunch of background characters that have nothing but a gimmicky mask.
this show is just gimmicky plot devices that leads to nowhere. she wakes up with elephant's blood attached to her?! what does it mean?
nothing. it means absolutely nothing.

if you think this show is not pure 10/10 kino then you're either prejudiced moron or just a moron or you haven't seen it.

>>211550084
I knew from the get go this should would be garbage.
1: Alan Moore said it himself, if you believe to be sooo talented as you claim to rework his past works...then why don't you come up with something new? you clearly want to cash in on what's popular.
2: The comic is beautifully constructed. I don't know much about literature, but by the little I know, I am flabbergasted.
Dr Manhattan is a beautiful double entente between the Manhattan project, humanity, time and the existence of God.
his father was a clock smith who abandoned the profession after Einstein found out time is relative. The expression "a clock without a clock smith" is about how the universe can't exist without God to create it.
Dr Manhattan couldn't be a physicist if his father wasn't obsessed with creating the perfect clock. you see? none of the characters of Watchmen behave in a way that doesn't seen meticulously planned.
(I even wonder if Alan Moore sits down and writes sheets and sheets of random little characters. like "Molly trips on a passerby, the passerby stands by the sidewalk because his mother told him to meet her there an hour ago, well his mother is late because..")
something that I knew THERE'S JUST NO WAY this tv show is going to have this level of writing.
it got confirmed when the vitnamese lady was able to trap manhattan.
WHAT?! the name of Adrian is Ozymandias, in reference to the poem about emperors and men who believe to be eternal and powerful enough to confront God. yet, they all cease to exist.
"the world's smartest man is the same as the smartest ant" the writers though; meh, that's horse shit.
3: None of the villains in Moore comics are "evil to be evil", they all have beliefs that begun somewhere. what is the mayor belief? power? it makes no sense. why would you want to be Manhattan? so you can see the death of the universe? so you can be miserable?
this show is so bad

>>211550990
>I knew from the get go this should would be garbage
>then you're either prejudiced moron
like a CLOCKWORK lmao. Stopped reading there

i know it basically was fan fiction, but it felt like the kind of fan fiction where someone gets really attached to one character or interpretation.

>a sequel? no, this really gets to grips with the 'racism and conspiracy theories' aspects of Watchmen

>>211551184
like...clock..work?

>>211550084
It's easy to tell that a lot of people ITT haven't actually seen it because they think the racism side plot was the point of the show.

>>211551493
it's in the black lady's plot, Hooded Justice's plot, Dr Manhattan's plot.
there's Mirror Ball and what else? some Asian lady who out-dumbs Ozymandias? why is nobody anti-gay or something?

and ANOTHER THING!
I also hate how he Vietnamese lady is going to buy the plot of land where her father will land.
and she shows up with a cartoony hourglass to buy the land in 5 minutes.
it's such a nitpick in my part, but really. She's a trillionaire and supposedly the most intelligent person in the universe. that's her tactic?
I suppose it makes for a very compelling scene for a tv show. but is that practical? what if they just said no?
wouldn't you be better off to just crash land it and pay of the damages? or wouldn't you know were the ship would land years in advance, so you could just had bough it then?
is such a minor moment. But so many things could have gone wrong, why would an actual intelligent person leave so much room for error?

>>211547139 (OP)
You can't fool all of the people al the time, but you can soften up some of the goyim. Especially with repetition and omnipresent messaging.

>>211547139 (OP)
>white men like this right?
>let's try to destroy it

Feels good knowing people turned on the original comic and alan moore independently of any new shit, so they desecrated it with this tv show slop for nothing.

good:
>giant squid scene
>jeremy irons
>rorschach notebook being seen as a conspiracy despite being the truth

bad:
>absolutely everything else. wtf were they thinking with blackhattan

>>211552318
>what if they just said no?
how could they?

>>211547139 (OP)
Probably something like
>lets do a great sequel to Watchmen that is faithful to the source material while developing its themes
>>211547358
This. It was awesome, but it was obvious that Snyderchuds wouldn't get it.

>>211549496
You’re still American though which means your darker than coal

>You know what the difference is between masked cop and the vigilante?
>No
>Me neither

I finally got around to watching it last year. Really enjoyed it. My only gripe was the made the one old woman person pretty smart but then she got bested by a character she should have suspected was up to no good. Other than that I thought it was a great series and the score went great with it. The squid scene was 10/10. I thought I was going to hate Manhattan and I won’t pretend it was a better depiction than Snyder’s, but they did it well enough.

>>211552613
Post your hand with timestamp, Sandjob.

Just started my rewatch recenty, i'm on episode 7 and this is so good i think only Leftovers is on the same level of storytelling in the last 15-20 years

she offered them a child, their own biological child, something that they wanted more than anything in the world and she threatened she would kill it had they refused. Plus tons of cash and they have to decide in a matter of minutes. There's no way they would say no

I don't remember how the scene plays out, but there's still pride and ego telling me to say to this random stranger with impossible promises to get the fuck out of my house.
>she would kill it had they refused
why didn't she? why do any of this? because it looks cool in a tv show-esk scenario?

The only one I support is Saturday Morning Watchmen, because it was a parody. Everything else can get in the fucking bin.

>>211553901

I mean, you can like whatever you want to like.
but in the end of the day, the comics are iconic and still impactful, masterfully done pieces of art. Can this tv show say the same?
Just by how well read and intricate this comic is. I find it difficult.

>>211549543
Defending? I read them and gave them a fair rating. I dont see anything wrong.

>>211553936
And you are right.

>>211553866
oh fuck off with your flopped tv show nobody talks about anymore.
every flaw I point got 0 replies, that's how memorable it supposedly is

>>211554064
>oh fuck off with your flopped tv show nobody talks about anymore.
i accept your concession. Also, you are literally in a thread where people talk about it and there was another one recently and also another one just before that for a show that is 6 years old
>every flaw I point got 0 replies
schizo

I truly hate this show.
How come nobody is interested in adapting a killing joke?
is it because it's not as profitable as Frank miller's dark knight rises? is it because it's not as profitable as Christopher Nolan's version?
this show and it's shills are so full of shit.
>>211554406
are they making a season 2 or something? and you have to spread word to mouth?
say one good thing about this show. Say one memorable scene.

>>211554682
they did a cartoon of The Killing Joke. got Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy back from the 90s cartoon, which was cool but not the best idea.

unfortunately they added a bunch of extra bullshit, i guess to make it 'movie length'. they also set it in the modern day, for some reason. they did this with the Batman: Year One cartoon and probably others, so it might be 'standard practice'? it's baffling.

>>211553901
Ozymandias? vaporizing R?
WHAT

>>211554836
the 'team' isn't even called 'the Watchmen'. these FOOLS.

>>211555041
Snyder didn't know this either

>>211554052
KYS

>>211554682
if it's so obviously shit why are you so mad about it? Nigga, you're melting

>>211549613
I was arguing that case before, but the whole story revolving around stealing Dr. Manhattan's power (which is arguably the most comic bookish thing ever) was what ruined it for me.

>>211553277
no one cares but chuds

Better than Snyder's turd ngl

>>211547139 (OP)
I liked it. Sure, there were niggers, but they were right about cops with masks.

>>211554836
Thats why HBO Watchmen turned out into what it turned out.
Someone pretending to know what he is talk8ng about.

>>211555128
Why the passive aggressive behaviour?

my favourite part is when they show you a realistic depiction of the tulsa race riots where KKK members swoop down on a bi plane and lob sticks of dynamite at POC.

>>211549360
Am I retarded, where’s the Snyder film?

>>211547333
QRD?

>>211556328
That actually did happen though.

>>211556403
just watch the show. First 20 minutes and you're gonna be hooked

>>211556400
You are not. But no squid, no spot on the list!

to where? I'm here daily for over 15 years

The animation looks so cheap in the new animated movie. They really fucked this one up.

>>211557160
are you really that scared you will like it? How old are you?

>>211556975
I agree. It makes a new can of worms open. It is literally the end of Hunt forRed October.
The US lost their power over one of their weapons. Why would Russia go for peace?

>>211557206
Didnt watch it. The trailer looked lifeless.

people weren't ready for it but now maybe they are

>>211551493
I'm definitely not gonna sink nine hours of my life into watching a show that appears to be crap, but I was just curious enough to watch a detailed summary on youtube a few years back and it was the most retarded thing I ever saw. Manhattan choosing to become a black guy is somehow dumber than pretending he always was one. Dan giving Laurie a giant blue dildo because he's butthurt is just a fucking petty way to destroy the only good relationship in the original story. Adrian being obsessed with receiving recognition and glory for saving the world is literally opposite to his original thought process.

>>211558533
>that appears to be crap
>a detailed summary on youtube
those are the people you share this board with. Never forget that

>>211558533
I’ve watched many a detailed YouTube summaries, but not once did I kid myself into thinking I got the same experience of watching the actual show or movie. But you’re not off that if you didn’t like it based on the detailed summaries, you’re unlikely to like the actual show.

>>211547139 (OP)
The word "woke" is thrown around too much, but never has there been a more distilled example of a show that went too woke to its detriment.

>>211558533
yes! I forgot about that too.
Adrien is a completely different character for some reason. he's kind of a buffoon with a huge ego. I don't know what the writers are "getting at" with that.
he had an army of midwit clones called "Adam and eve" which he killed constantly, so maybe the idea is to mock the christian god? or maybe his god complex?
either way, is such a different character that it didn't bother me. The comedian is also some lady who... record scratch... "don't take it easy" that is not the fucking comedian. at all.
