Watchmen

Looks like they might be doing something non-linear and confusing like they did with Westworld.

Westworld is cool, but it's honestly too much work for me. So if this is similar I'll probably pass.

I think it looks great. This is probably my most hyped show rn

Frankly, I wouldn't watch a series without Doctor Manhattan, Rorschach, or at the very least Ozy. Those are the only characters who made the series worth a damn, imo.

I don’t know if any of them will be in it, so I don’t see the point either.

Yea already is looking like a major letdown.

How silly of them not to use DM.

^ No DM? Meh ill pass.

So Hooded Justice, Nite Owl, Dr. Manhattan, Ozy, and Silk Spectre (if Laurie Blake is her, though she looks too young) are all in this. Hell ya.

We've also got a new vigilante by the name of Looking Glass and whoever that hooded Ninja chick ends up being.

^ Didnt it kinda confirm DM wont be in it, by showing a live stream of him

Spoiler:
living on Mars

"Nothing ever ends."

That was always my favorite sequence from Watchmen; it always pissed me off that the film didn't have it.

Anyway, looks decent. Dr. Manhattan being on Mars is stupid though. He left the galaxy not merely the planet.

Plus, the fact that he's back on Mars makes me think he has to be involved eventually. The comic ended with him leaving the galaxy altogether. If he came back to the same solar system, it's for a reason. Dude's a living chekhov's gun now.

A lot of people are theorizing that it was him showing up in the suit at the end and picking up the Dr. Manhattan mask. It felt like a 'Dr. Manhattan just showed up to shut this shit down" moment.

Likely the same suit(and complexion) he was wearing here:

Ah right I didnt get what that scene was all about.

It's Dr. Manhattan. He could be in both places simultaneously. He's like the epitome of a non-linear being.

Fair enough. I suppose my impression was that he departed for good as he fully embraced becoming "God" and left the world behind.

Good catch.

I mean, I can kind of see why he'd return to Mars, as it seemed like a special sanctuary of sorts for him... But Jon returning to earth doesn't really make sense to me -- especially if he actually intervenes in their BS again.

I had this great idea. After the first episode there is a media outlet with an article titled "Who watches the watchmen?" and then the article talks about the ratings of the episode.

I'm so good.

This looks.................just awful.

You're f*cking ruthless.

Still have some hope for this, mostly because I love the source material. But from the previews I can also see myself not watching past 2-4 eps.

I'm watching this right now. It's kind of boring and painfully slow. Doesn't feel like it has anything to do with Watchmen outside of the Rorschach reference.

anyone watch yet

Yep. It was alright. Nothing particularly great about it aside from the score. It has almost nothing to do with the original comics so far. Probably one of the most disappointing aspects is that the Seventh Calvary (the guys wearing the Rorschach masks) are just racists that are killing cops for no real reason rather than some conspiracy group. Seriously, they have no connection with Rorschach other than the masks and being alt right.
