It explains why Doomsday Clock doesn't really work for the Watchmen. The new Rorschach shouldn't be wearing that mask. He shouldn't be Rorschach, and yet Batman convinces him to be anyway. The mask won't make his life better. He needs to be a person again.
@@julianseguin2748 I remember what first got me thinking this HBO series would be worth a look was one of the trailers showed bits that seemed to acknowledge society is messed up if people need to be wearing masks to hide their identities, and how that's not psychologically healthy for the individual either.
It will return just by a different director. It may be over now but it will return after covid 19 is over. But if it returns bring Nite Owl out, and have somebody else be silk spectre, laurie betrayed everything her mother stood for, even Nite Owl, and maybe have dr malcolm from the movies son be the real rorschach successor, and somebody as the new comedian. As long as Angela helps them too avenge dr Manhattan.
@@julianseguin2748 honestly i gladly considered this show to be the in canon sequel to watchmen. Because while i wouldn't it's perfect but it seems fit well enough to connect with the original story with out contradicting the original story ,also bonus points for doing what snyder couldn't which is actually show the damn squid. But this is just my opinion.
When Will said "the last thing I saw before my world ended" that hit me so hard because it meant his innocence died that day and all he was left with was his fear and hurt all those years afterwards. Truly powerful line when you understand the context underneath it.
Honestly, as much as Alan Moore would outright hate this show (because yknow, its Alan Moore), I do really feel that the whole "Wounds need air, not masks" is definitely something he'd atleast be okay with, if not approve of.
He would approve of the beautiful quote... *_"You can't heal under a mask, Angela. Wounds need air."_* ...but I also think the strangest irony is that Alan Moore has wounds himself that desperately need to be healed professionally and psychologically. I'm sorry, no offense, but it's just my thoughts. Good concept, though. He meant well when he wrote _Watchmen_ in order to inspire more unique and original stories from comic book writers and artists. He was showing new ways to tell new stories by showing it as an example of what we could do with already-existing concepts. Unfortunately, it didn't go as he expected. It inspired what was called "the grim and gritty period." A comparison would be Sam Peckinpah, when he directed his controversial 1969 Western, _The Wild Bunch._ When he directed the film from a script that he re-wrote, he wanted to use violence to horrify people and use it as a catharsis of sorts, similar to Greek tragedies. He was horrified when people applauded the violence, regretting it a bit for the remainder of his life. Ironically, there is a whole ton of unique and original stories written by great writers and artists that had come from some of the great indie comics publishers from Image to BOOM! (and more) over the past 20+ years. Maybe it _did_ inspire unique stories, more subconsciously, though, similar to how Alejandro Jodorowsky's attempt to adapt _Dune_ may have subconsciously helped inspire modern-day science-fiction film and television, along with the Jodoverse graphic novels he wrote with artists such as the late Moebius, Croatian comic book artist Zoran Janjetov, and the recently-departed Juan Gimenez.
@@pareidolist You know, it's true. Alan Moore and DC opened wounds at each other *_twice,_* first in the late-1980's and the mid-to-late 2000s. The first was because they never bothered (or never even wanted) to find a way to give the rights of _Watchmen_ and _V for Vendetta_ back to Alan Moore, David Lloyd, and Dave Gibbons, and the second was not only because of the _V for Vendetta_ film adaptation, whose script Moore hated but the last straw was the announcement that they would not publish a special record for _The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier_ (not to mention they wouldn't be publishing it in some countries!) due to copyright issues. The two songs, by the way, were "Immortal Love" and "Home with You" by Eddie Enrico and the Hawaiian Hot Shots, a band from the work of Thomas Pynchon, yet Alan sang one (or both) of the songs. "Home with You" has the same melody as "Fireball," the closing theme for _Fireball XL-5,_ one of Gerry Anderson's shows, before _Thunderbirds,_ _Captain Scarlet,_ _UFO,_ and _Space: 1999._ However, now that Alan Moore has retired from comic books, he should find other things. He's moving on to film... yet I have a feeling that he's trying to hide something. A feeling of hurt. And so is the film industry, by a strange coincidence. The last few years from mergers to COVID have hurt them. And they need to be healed. So _if_ his work (such as his epic _Swamp Thing_ run, _Miracleman_ or even _Tom Strong_ and _Promethea_ to name a few) is going to be adapted, he and the people that screwed him over from Marvel and DC to Rob Liefeld to James McTeigue, and the Wachowskis have wounds that need healing _at the same time._ Like James O'Barr with _The Crow,_ in my honest opinion, I really wish Moore could find a way to somehow come to terms with his 1980s comics, especially _Watchmen_ and bury the hatchet with people, especially filmmakers who loved his work, not to mention Grant Morrison, as a way to finally bring what the comics fandom has called _The Last War in Albion_ to an end peacefully. I know it's impossible, but in my heart, he should find a way to do all of that. Someday. Huh, in an ironic yet sincere sense, like Netflix and movie theaters, Alan and the film industry actually *_need each other._*
This song, her words and his, goddamn, every single time... for me it evokes this sense of the fear of pain of loss, especially of what you love (a person, or your family, or faith or whatever), and the absolute necessity- like a decree by the universe- that we try to heal and open ourselves back up to life.
Same man. Honestly, the story of Will Reeve, the birth of Hooded Justice, Angela unknowingly following in his footsteps and looking into the Seventh Calvary and Cyclops are such strong stories that I don't think I would need the stuff with Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias
Will: So, Trieu, listen... it's important for her to see that Captain Metropolis kind of just wanted to use me but also needed me hidden, so I get showing her this conversation. But... it's my granddaughter, so we can just sort of trim out the part where I'm going to town on him, right? Trieu: Oh yeah, no, totally, we can edit that part out. No worries. *later, in the movie theater* 2:00 Will, somewhat nervously: You take my pills?
Tbis scene is the result of pain , misery, trauma , and just plain suffering so thats not just bruce , how many heros in marvel and dc wear masks to well mask themselves from tgose qualities
@@MrBrachiatingApe no , it wouldnt Things now are more fucked up BLM they want to be listened but the way they show it God how many people got hurt And Yet the KKK still exist They should be the enemy of BLM not the city
I’ve always thought Dr. Manhattan had the ability to see possible futures based on his actions, and that the reason he didn’t do anything before he died was because he was tired of living and watching those around him grow old and die, and I’m guessing the reason he was with Angela is because he wanted one more shot at loving again as a human. Janey was his first, true love. Laurie intrigued him with her strength and helped him rediscover his humanity, and Angela helped him remember what it was like to live as a normal person. However, I think his powers are much like a version of time travel from The Butterfly Effect or Steins; Gate. He used his powers to safely view the events of the future of his current path and when he talked to Will Reeves for the first time, he time traveled by way of his mind forward in time past his missing memory to give him information on Angela, and inadvertently told him about Judd. He probably did the same when he told Will about the egg and when he met Angela, so he could follow a safe path. The reason he followed a safe path is because, in my opinion, he was being careful since the day he was caught in the intrinsic field generator and after something like that nearly killed him, he wanted to be sure that would never happen again. So, he made sure to avoid anything that could potentially harm him, until he finally decided it was time for him to die.
acuramane 4k I think the whole backstory of hooded justice and her being an orphan and being a mother to orphans might make her a little deeper, she was already a hero, the super came later
Even though alan moore hates everything related to watchmen, this show is one of the things that most reminded me of his writing. Just a really cool sequel/reimaging. My only compliant is that it should have been called "Watchmen 2019" as its title. Its name implies its a remake, but you could be very lost if you are not familiar with the source material. Not quite a sequel but its not a standalone remake of the comic, more of a companion piece imo.
This show was maybe one of the best representations of generational trauma and why reparations for the descendants of past injustices are still needed (and that these events are never really as far away as we thought). Will's trauma leads to him tearing his family apart, his son clearly was traumatized and had a strained relationship with his mom. This leads him to run away to Vietnam where he's killed there too, and Angela is left all alone. The sadness in Angela's grandmother's face when she tells her that she wants to be a cop and her grandmother replies "of course you do", that Angela ended up following almost the exact same path as her grandfather. The parallels between the badge she carried as a child and Bass Reeves' badge. When Angela says to Topher "you saw your parents die and I saw mine die" and you realize Will was the same. Despite never meeting Will, Angela's entire life has been shaped by his trauma. Also the fact that we keep cutting back to Angela as Will after getting hanged, and we see the fear in her eyes. The fear that Looking Glass has. All of them are just afraid. Brilliant show.
As a Watchmen nerd myself I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but everything past "This Extraordinary Being" was absolutely phenomenal. The only quibble I had originally was that Dr. Manhattan looked kind of cheap, with blue paint instead of traditional SFX, until i watched the finale where he's in the cage (reminiscent of a slave auction) and I suddenly realized how if they had applied the blue glow, it wouldn't have worked for what they were trying to convey. Everything about HJ's story just made perfect sense, and the reveal that Keene was a member of Cyclops casts the Keene act in a totally different light. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time, and certainly one of the most topical.
Yeah I think a lot of people make the classic mistake of assuming that just because the protagonist does something, the audience is expected to think of that thing as good. They literally made the police chief a Klan member and the cops are framed as puppets of the rich and powerful. Plus when Angela is acting as a cop, she projects her pain out as unrestrained violence. She literally becomes a cop after helping cops in Saigon extrajudicially execute one of the conspirators who killed her parents.
This scene and every scene with Jeremy irons is what I enjoyed the most in this series. I felt there were some things that were not doing the original comic justice but those scenes were perfect
[Lincoln tunnel] is the name of the song if anyone cares. I don't know if the song would have been as moving if I didn't watch the show and hear it during the scenes they played them in but during all the revelations and acceptance, this song was beautiful
I think I finally figured out what document hadn't and Will Reeves were trying to say when they meant by you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs you can't create peace without facing a few consequences along the way
Man there has never been another form of media to exceed my expectations. Mainly because Snyders movie was bad and I hated the ending to Lost so much I was worried about the people involved. When i started watching it and they basically said "the comic is cannon and there never was a movie!" I definitely was intrigued. After that just appreciating everything in it, History, the acting, the cinematography, the weird alternate future. And then the ending. Yeah I think it's time for a rewatch
I believe Will Reeves was the best hero in the series. He confronted his demons long ago and now he has a true purpose to be with his family again. Eventually the true Watchmen will rise under Dan Dreiberg, Angela Reeves, dr Malcolm's son, Someone as silk spectre and Someone as Ozymandiaz. Just not laurie Blake and looking glass.
No more heroes though, I think that's the point of the show, Will Reeves confronts his demons and he's not a hero anymore, same with Laurie. They're just people now, no more masks or caped crusaders.
Without struggling, name me 10 black inventors and their inventions. Till you can do that, don’t mention white washing of superheroes. REALITY has been white washed.
Blackwashed which characters? Sister Night is a new character created for this show and Hooded Justice was a background character whose secret identity was never revealed in the original show.
This was probably one of the best scenes from the season finale and season in general and it's a severely underrated scene
It explains why Doomsday Clock doesn't really work for the Watchmen. The new Rorschach shouldn't be wearing that mask. He shouldn't be Rorschach, and yet Batman convinces him to be anyway. The mask won't make his life better. He needs to be a person again.

Well it is a HBO show
Man there has never been another form of media to exceed my expectations. Mainly because Snyders movie was bad and I hated the ending to Lost so much I was worried about the people involved. When i started watching it and they basically said "the comic is cannon and there never was a movie!" I definitely was intrigued. After that just appreciating everything in it, History, the acting, the cinematography, the weird alternate future. And then the ending. Yeah I think it's time for a rewatch
I highly recommend the show Lindeloff did before Watchmen, The Leftovers.
I believe Will Reeves was the best hero in the series. He confronted his demons long ago and now he has a true purpose to be with his family again. Eventually the true Watchmen will rise under Dan Dreiberg, Angela Reeves, dr Malcolm's son, Someone as silk spectre and Someone as Ozymandiaz. Just not laurie Blake and looking glass.
No more heroes though, I think that's the point of the show, Will Reeves confronts his demons and he's not a hero anymore, same with Laurie. They're just people now, no more masks or caped crusaders.
There needs NCIS FBI blue bloods watchman crossover
anyone found the soundtrack with the chorus version?
Lincoln tunnel. It’s on Spotify
@@renegarza9 with the chorus version? at the begining? Acapela? Without instruments like in the show? Nop. Didin't find it.
I doubt dr manhattan is dead, let’s face it, he’s fricken dr Manhattan, he can’t die.
Bro he's dead. Move on
How long was this show
9 episodes
So they blackwashed both characters? Maybe in the future we can whitewash Luke Cage and Black Panther too lol
Without struggling, name me 10 black inventors and their inventions. Till you can do that, don’t mention white washing of superheroes. REALITY has been white washed.
Blackwashed which characters? Sister Night is a new character created for this show and Hooded Justice was a background character whose secret identity was never revealed in the original show.
