This had more than enough to intrigue me off one episode. They seem very confident in the parameters of the world they've built and I like the ways in which they've followed on from the book. The squid showers were an interesting homage to the ending of the comic. It also means that they threw Snyder's movie in the bushes and drew strictly from the books in terms of the history. I'm genuinely glad that he didn't get to do the show.


The idea that Robert Redford became the liberal version of Ronald Reagan is :ohhh:.

Jean Smart is the older version of Malin Ackerman's character :leon:

Rorshach stans :mjpls:

Old breh has to be the kid from the beginning too, or I'm bugging? That cold open had me :mjcry:. Not gonna front - I nearly cut it off after that. Glad I stuck with it.

I'll rock with it. I'd like to see where it goes. :ehh:

So what time period is this?

what was the point of showing boy and lil girl in the beginning?

what happened with the og watchmen?

why is Rorschach being used as a symbol to white supremacst?

who actually has powers in the show?

why tf is it raining squids?

And vigilantes are supposed to be cops now? Why they all got on masks?



I enjoyed Snyder’s movie, so this has nothing to do with it?

Looking like another HBO classic in the making but I don't know anything about the Watchmen universe besides the Watchmen movie. Can someone give me a link so get some info so I can know what they're talking about?


The Watchmen movie is all you really need. It was a..... somewhat faithful adaptation of the book.

The rest of the books you've prolly seen don't matter.

Newest book (Doomsday Clock) don't matter either

It does, in that the characters in it are referenced by the movie. But Snyder changed the ending to the book - which involved a giant squid rather than a faked Dr. Manhattan attack. That now appears to be non-canon, as there would be no reason to have squid showers otherwise.

Brehs so used to mcu movies holding their hand and over explaining shyt they don't know what to do with themselves if everything not explained in the pilot.

Let the mystery build brehs
Sounds like the same dumb shyt nikkas said about Legion and it took all fukking season for them to explain even partially of the shyt.

nobody needs anyone to hold their fukking hand but this mysterious bullshyt got to go. Have a fukking plot instead of a bunch of weird shyt going on only to be half assed explained 8 episodes in.
