Apparently, /co/ thinks this lifeless dogswill is just dandy.
This is why they don't put effort into their comics and animation, because the retarded fans will excuse or defend it.

And i said it is ok, just looking too sterile to be good

I encourage animators to present animation as they can make it

Animation is expensive and time consuming and the world move to fast to be waiting for broke ass guys with no time and money to make a masterpiece

I only consider Saturday Morning Watchmen to be canon.

Synergy with the Compact edition. To keep interest and sales up to keep the rights.

Did you just make up a word

Indeed. The problem is when the whole product dont give the consumer something. And i can understand that some dislike it. Because you got the comic, the Motion Comic adaptation and the movie. This is just another adaptation and just ok.

And when you look at their animation, it is ok. They did even facial expression.

Pretty much all canon Watchmen media past the initial comic is pretty bad.

It kinda is. No vision, no creativity onpar with Moore&Gibbons.

Before Watchmen was ass

>>153798523
wrong

>>153798801
Nah, it was ass. It's the reason it had no lasting presence beyond the initial run. Almost no one remembers a thing from that slop run. The very definition of mid at best.

I regrettably understand OP and the post that incited him.

OP's vitriol might seem excessive, but his position is objectively right. However close to Gibbons' and Higgins' artistic efforts these models attempt to seem there's atmosphere and details lost that might could be considered trivial at a glance but as a result of the halfhearted attempt at imitation are that much more inexcusable in comparison to even the motion comic. Which obviously just paperdolls the original panels, but, that's the thing, it's apparent less was more.
The general appearance and color palette are technically correct but the contrast, body language and facial expression are off. Example, Dan's eyebrows aren't raised enough, glasses not reflective enough to obscure his eyes, shoulders aren't sunken enough, he looks like he's trying to remember where he parked.
The actual animation, dialogue and direction are stiff. It's like someone's moving toys, not stop motion animating toys, but hands just off screen moving them like Action League Now! Except this isn't a satirical work, this is an serious production. And Mir, WB, DC and Vietti aren't new to any of this.

As for the anon, I imagine like many who begin to unravel the architecture of Watchmen there develops such an intrigue of what comics are capable of that one eagerly supports and looks forward to any purportedly similar works or even direct continuations, thus the gradual past nostalgia, present tolerance and copium for the future that obscures the obvious rights retaining, penny pinching, shallow imitating at play because one recognizes those failings have remained steadfast in comics and cartoons while the examples set by Watchmen have been less apparent beyond routinely wheeling out a greatest hit to remind people once upon a time, 40 years ago DC let it be conceived.

Oh it's fucking bleak.

It wasnt ass. Some were good some were ok, some were readable. It was a mixed bag. And yes, it was a cash grab to boost sales to keep the rights.

>>153799287
None remembers anything? Pic related?
The problem was it didnt add something important and Minutemen is the one thing that is remembered.
>>
>>153800036
>None remembers anything? Pic related?
It has like a handful of *bad* things it's remembered for, Minutemen was okay at best since even that wasn't really remembered. No one remembers anything from the Rorschach comic beyond the "bitch to be you" meme panel or Comedian's "it's time to shit" They're comics with zero cultural impact because they were cheap cash grabs that came and went without any fanfare. Even the Watchmen show has more lasting relevance for how bad it was.
>>
>>153799994
Thats a good point. This is why i might find it sterile. They dont use the medium for what you can do with it, like Moore and Gibbons did. It is just a pure adaptation of the panels or where the characters stand in the scenery.
>>
>>153800147
I remember from the Rorschach how he fights the gang boss and the “lesson“ is that the mask doesnt make the man.
But i agree with the cultural impact.
>>
>>153800303
That's you, most people don't remember a thing but the meme panel if they even read it to begin with. In fact I don't see anyone talk about Before Watchmen anywhere but that shitty ranking thing that keeps getting reposted. Even among all the shitty Watchmen spinoff media it's generally the most forgotten and that's saying something.

> Apparently, /co/ thinks this lifeless dogswill is just dandy
where the fuck did you see anyone praising this, you schizo?
>>
>>153783703
I've seen zero people talk about this. The Snyder movie wasn't good by any means but even it had more lasting cultural relevance.

Praising is a big word. Or are you happy when someone says the sex they had with you was ok?
>>
>>153800374
Good point.
>>
>>153800497
Let alone many Youtube movie reviews do reviews about Watchmen movie. Maybe thats because it was the first superhero movie that was subversive and it was made by Snyder which is a draw for people.
>>
>>153783703
They made this movie right after a reboot of the regular DC animated movies, I honestly suspect the only reason they did this is so that they can adapt Doomsday Clock down the line.
>>
>>153805515
Would make sense. But was Doomsday Clock that well recieved to make a better recieved and groundbreaking comic just a choice to push a Doomsday Clock animated movie?
>>
>>153803010
Not if I was awful. Then they're just being patronizing.
>>
>>153783703
WB only keeps making more Watchmen content so they can keep the rights in perpetuity. Because if Watchmen ever goes out of print, Alan Moore's estate gets the rights back.
>>
>>153783703
Never seen this before. Thought the only animation they did was for that motion comic version which just reused the comic pages
