from what I hear, it's very one-sided with its politics, unlike the book.

couldn't really tell how good it was, I was reeing too hard at all the moon crickets shuckin and jivin on my tv

Too many niggers in it

No. It has nothing to do with Watchmen for like 80% of the show. Then Lindlelof remembered he as doing a "watchmen serie" in the last 2 episodes.
It has been hyped since years for a big nothing. Lindlelof even made a cringe - pretentious post about how he understood watchmen, then made a serie where there is very bad people, very good people, shitty OC, characters from Watchmen that have seen their evolution reverted for the sake of the scenario.

And the Doc Manhattan appareance is fucking cheap, cosplayers do it better

No, it's terrible. And fuck your inb4, the show's incessant need to ram yet ANOTHER "raycists yall!" story down our throats was a huge contributing factor to it being so awful. The message, and beating the audience over the head with it, was a clear priority, and storytelling wasn't.

thank you anons, any better shows recommendations?

Forgot pic related.
>B-but y-you are m-mad because h-he is black
He is fucking blue. The point is to show that 10 years before they did a Doc that was 100 times better
>B-but w-what are budget d-differences ?
What is 10 years of effect evolution ? They just painted a guy in blue and called it a day

No fuck off nigger lover

that's the first time I've heard the phrase "monkeys up" but I like it.

Also yeah it's good, has a lot of cool stuff but feels like it should have been about cops vs. conspiracy theorists as opposed to a multi-generational tale of race relations and oppression.

It's only a few months old and has already aged like shit. Blackface Dr. Manhattan was bad, but the last episode demonizes an Asian woman which I'm surprised no woke journalists have commented on.

the guy they got wasn't even a good actor, he just looked and sounded out of place

I'm a slightly left leaning minority and this this show was absolute trash. It's made for self hating whiteys and uneducated blacks.

>a left leaning white person
Cringe

Is this real? Holy fug :DDD

Just say blacks

It’s anti-white propaganda

Hilarious, i didn't know the show gave this little of a fuck.

q: "did you know he was a racist?"
a: "he's a white man in oklahoma."

No. It is really bad. Not as bad as The Plot Against America. But still really bad.

Make me wonder how HBO has fallen so below in quality.

It’s fucking garbage.
The show should have had real commentary, something thought provoking that people could ponder over for years, as many people have with the end of Watchmen.

I’m not left with any great moral quandaries to consider. If you’re a liberal and hold liberal views the show doesn’t seem that keen on making you question those views. It’s a social justice 101 commentary sprinkled on top of a mediocre and shallow superhero story. The show was like the "diet" version of MCU movies and other capeshit. There may have been imagery and parallels to the original but whereas Watchmen subverted a lot of tropes and cliches, the show played right into them and yeah they could have easily done something new to make make the audience think. The show uses the Watchmen brand more in the characters and plot, not themes or questions the plot and characters raise for the viewer.

The 7K is just another Lindelof trick from LOST where he hypes up a mysterious organization (the Others and the Dharma Initiative) only to never truly get into the details of who they are and what they believe, and have them offed before the show is over.

>Can’t read

i think the joke was that white people are a minority

Really liked it, I'm not a racist btw

Why do so many retards seek to expand on Watchmen, of all stories?
Where's our No Country For Old Men sequel where we get a white Chigurh doing shit that is utterly unrelated to the original work?
Where's the Taxi Driver sequel where we see an Asian Travis being a low rent thug and have a film aping the aesthetic of the original with no meaningful input of it's own?
Why rape great stories like this? Do people really like to see all forms of ambiguity be beaten out of fiction with a metal pipe?

What if I'm a thin skinned incel who mans up when I see a monkey on the screen?

Yes it's good. It a good standalone story. Watch it yourself.

you have to provide evidence for your shitty argument user

quite predictably, its devolves into old white men bad, black strong woman good
which is a shame because it started off like it was actually going to tear down both strawman sides

It's really good.

>Is it any good?
Watchmen series with clear cut good guys and bad guys who uses story contrivances and coincidences to save all the main characters so nobody has to die and no major death occurs.

So its exclusively for stupid people who are terrified of thoughtful stories and need baby watchmen to tell them they're smart.

this is dead on.

The show does have things to say, you simply don't want to hear it. You want it to be your way, to say things that you want it to say. Which is suffice to say, very silly.

>The show does have things to say,
It has no thoughts at all. It says things, but it challenges nothing. If you're left wing all this does is jack you off without once pondering anything more, content in your watered down mess of a continuation that tried and failed to be as revolutionary as a comic book from the 80's simply because it lacked the nuance and characters within that made that work such a standout, and so memorable. By the end of the book readers are left stunned knowing that Ozymandis just killed millions, yet throughout the whole story they've been hung with the threat of billions. Watchmen was brave enough to say the smelly, homeless crazy man still had good in him that he used to try to save lives, drive to try to protect people, and a stance that he would not waver on because he would not let people die for a lie. It had a "Madman" who thought of a pile of corpses to unite the world, and succeeded before even the godlike being himself could deduce it. By the end, the reader knew something terrible had happened, yet could see and debate why they thought it was wrong, or right.

What do you suppose people would save of this mess had they finished it? "Boy, sure is good thing those racists got beat and nobody had to die, right?" And then they fall into silence, enjoying the media that told them they were right, not a single thought more in their heads, just as the writers held none as they waited for the lavish praise for saying exactly what they wanted to hear.

On the right, they would simply look to the cartoon characters portrayed as evil, the dumb plotlines that only work through the deepest of contrivances, and the clear cut good and evil and think no more of it, if they watched it at all. From the numbers, that is in deep doubt. There was nothing for them to ponder, every character too over the top and every "Gotcha' too badly done to think of at all, let alone examine.

Plenty to say, nothing to think of when your mouth shuts.

nigger

Your issue is you frame everything as left vs right. As if every show and movie in our contemporary culture gives a shit as much as you do. I always see these posts on here, framing every show and movie as some bitter attack from the left when it reality it uses some ideas from contemporary culture to tell it own story with its own message.

Is this a BBC show?

its even more pozzed than the average BBC show but no

it could have been kinda decent but the diversity kill it. they tought they could just throw a bunch of undeveloped blacks and take a story out of it and they failed. the retcon doesnt help.

but episode five is great.

>Your issue is you frame everything as left vs right.
Hardly, or the original wouldn't have worked as well as it had. Ozymandis falls nowhere on the political spectrum at all, regardless of how monkeys like to paint him. He is a pinnacle of pragmatic, not wholly unemphatic but driven by a plan he is certain is right. He is no more Reagan than he is Bill Clinton, yet it was the thought and care in him and the ones trying to stop him that made the story actually have meaning, and something to say even after the pages had finished being flipped.

What good is it to nakedly jam in current topics if the only thing they bring to the story is clear cut good guys and bad guys so comically over the top none could ever think of them as real people, except those who already demonize one side of the political spectrum? Who else could see the ones wearing those masks and think they're compelling enough except those desperate enough for a boogeyman they would think them real? Does the show challenge this? Of course not, by the end they simply are what they said at the start, no different than demons from Doom who could talk. For a story to wear the Watchmen name, that makes them all the more laughably stupid, and the writer more laughably incompetent in his failures. Who will remember them? What is there to remember? Rorschach himself will likely live on, of course he will, this mess ignored by the creator won't change that, but he'll live on because even as terrible as he was, the viewer could still call him human.

I ask again, what questions does the ending leave? You didn't answer, you couldn't, because there's nothing more to be said when the curtain falls. Except, perhaps "Whelp, another failure tried to make another Watchmen, and somehow was dumber than the last guy with the slow motion."

Anyone read Doomsday Clock? Was that any good?

Completely shit the bed by the end.

How is it that the book with one of the greatest endings in all of written fiction is only ever continued up by idiots who can't finish a story to save their lives?

Dr.Manhattan gets killed by Superman lol

>ask again, what questions does the ending leave?
I already liked you a video that has questions. Again, you ignore anything that you don't want to see.

the end didnt work even as a comedy, i was just fast fowarding the whole thing, it was a tiresome experience.

imagine reading watchmen and decide that the story must continue and now with niggers. how sick.

>I already liked you a video that has questions
I asked you, not the video, what people would ask. I've no inclination to watch that video, giving more clicks to something with this name is not something that gives any benefit, so why don't you simply post the questions in that video?

Is there something stopping you? Worry that, when people can directly reply instead of talking to some pre-recorded instance that cannot be immediately challenged, something might be easily countered, maybe?

Of course not. After all, what indication is it that fans of the Watchmen TV Show wouldn't want to ask questions?

They couldn't even get the electron on his forehead right. lol. How lazy!
