Is it woke or good
>>
"llol"
>>
It is worth watching but idk if I would call it good. It is surface level woke and too cowardly to say anything
>>
>see black on the cover
>instant no-watch

it's that easy
>>
>>217803598
>watch the trailer
this looks like it could be kino. don johnson seems awesome.
>first episode
kill don johnson and reveal him to be a kkk member. sigh.
>>
It has Jeremy Irons in it, so its worth a watch
>>
>>217803598
The parts of it chuds hate are like a side plot in a much larger story.
>>
It was worth the first watch.
>>
>>217803598
Somehow both. What it isn't is "slop", its the exact opposite, they did at least try to do something interesting with it. Maybe they fucked up, maybe they didn't.
>>
i still remember the absolutely supplicating and groveling letter lindelof wrote to alan moore publicly and alan moore was like i don't know who you are but you're embarrassing yourself.
>>
Moore can fuck off. At least people don't take his stuff and turn it into CP, he can shut his hairy cakehole.

And Moore, haha, donated the money from Watchmen to Black Lives Matter so you are denied anyway chud.
>>
>>217804064
lol, i don't know the schizo shit your talking about but i just thought it was funny that lindelof took a lot of time to try to appeal to moore and he's such a dickhead that he just insults him.
>>
>>217804064
>in his effort to own the hecking chudcels in the watchmen fanbase he donated to a scam

lol
lmao

>It is surface level woke
Lol it's literally the epitome piece of media that showcases Jewish Hollywood neuroticism.
Every TV show/movie/game/etc would be like Watchmen if you let the kikes write unfiltered like they let Lindelof. The only thing missing from it is casual throwing around of the term goyim like Jews like to do in private.
>>
>>217803598
It’s fucking abysmal.
>>
>>217803598
It's pretty good, but you have to like Lindelof's brand of weird to really enjoy it
>>
>>217803598
Woke sloppaganda through and through.
This take >>217803702 is utter horseshit. It’s JUST woke, but completely so. Typical, expected, and boring in its beat-for-beat box-checking.
>>
>>217803598
yes
>>
>>217803598
It's woke, so I'll never know if it's good because I won't watch it
>>
>>217803598
it is the most woke piece of shit i've ever seen. it's especially insulting because there are just enough good pieces of the show there to let you know that they could have made a kino adaptation or expansion of the comic, but instead they made literal fucking garbage. when I think of woke trash, this is the thing I think of, and that's not an exaggeration.
>>
>>217807276
>the show starts frames everything around black massacre
>the first superhero ever is actually a gay nigger, even though he's clearly white in the comic. they literally have him paint his skin white in this show.
>every white person in the show is evil, most of them are part of the KKK or it's modern equivalent
>dan is just not in it or brought up at all because that would be one more white person they have to make into a villian
>the main character is black bitch who is so great that jon decides to come back to earth and be a human and be with her forever, wants nothing to do with laurie though
>jon also decides in order to be with her he should permenantly turn himself into a nigger
>laurie comments on how sexy black jon is
>at the end nigger jon tranfers his powers to the black bitch making the most powerful being in the universe a black nigger bitch
>the shades of moral gray are all thrown out the window, all white men are bad, all the bad guys are obviously bad mustache twirling retards bad, all the good guys are super good niggers and women
>adrian is based but of course shown to be a buffoon and outplayed by women who want to hold him accountable for all of his horrible actions

theres more but im done rage posting
>>
>>217803641
>It is worth watching
No it isn't.
>>
It is absolutely worth watching just to piss off chodes who lose their minds when a black woman is a main character, or a gay person exists.

The woker, the better.
>>
>>217807500
I too like to own the chuds by spending 10-20 hours watching something they absolutely won't have any idea I watched or care. I also enjoy owning your mother by jacking off alone in my room instead of going over and fucking her.
>>
>>217803598
>Comic is about how superheros are mentally unwell broken people whose efforts are ultimately in vain and how they shouldn' be idolized
>tv show is just pure revenge fantasy where there are endless waves of White enemies for black characters to righteously kill, completely played straight.
>Reddit claims that the tv show understands the comic better than the movie.
>>
>>217807500
>Canceled after 1 season.
Tragic. Trump won.
>>
>>217803598
Excellent. My favorite one-season show. More so than True Detective S1. Episode 8 is one of the best love stories I've seen on television. The humor is funny, etc. Go in with low expectations and be amazed.
>m-muh w-w-woke
Go away. Nobody cares about you mouthbreathers.
>>
>>217807559
Lol stay mad

>>217807607
Seriously? That's it? That's all you have for a come back? The guy who raped kids? Lol

I love that Watchmen effectively broke white conservative minds into a frenzy lol

Ya love to see it
>>
>>217807867
Go to bed, David. Nobody even remembers your show.
>>
>>217807874
Yeah I guess that's why no one is talking about it, like the people in this thread.

You fragile snowflakes will let anything get under your skin. It's amazing.

I hope some of your favorite movies and TV shows from your past get rebooted into woke media. Instead of a leading white male character, it's now a trans person of color who is pansexual.

Keep seething, it only invigorates me.

Someone never stopped crying over Lost.

prometheus, into darkness, tomorrowland. all killed by their dogshit scripts
>>217808029
then you have the opposite problem-not enough exposure to damon lindelof
>>
>>217807963
The hallmark of a remembered show, someone makes a single low traffic thread about it on /tv/ every couple of months (if even that). Simply lol.
>>
>>217808065
I don't even care, I just like seeing retards like you be butthurt over black women, gays, trans, etc. in your TV and movies.

The fact that you're so stupid that things like that upset you and then, you let it fester in your pea-sized brain until you can't help but argue about it on 4chan...It pleases me.
>>
>>217808101
I guess its worth remembering for how retarded it is.
That seems to be the aim for a lot of writers these days.

>racism bad

You picked this side. Affected people have every right to feel anger towards it. You just pretend that it doesn't exist because the appropriate cultural response is to pretend that it doesn't exist. But it does and it makes you an evil cunt.

Alan Moore has reasons to dislike DC, they once used his friend's brother's terminal illness to try and manipulate him. They tried to use loads of people to manipulate him over the years. Even when the Watchmen movie was coming out, Alan would sign books. Alan is a really nice man, I've met him, chatted with him and got my books signed. People take his quotes out of context or prod him for an angry old man quote but he's actually a nice thoughtful person who was screwed over. His relationship with DC wasn't just a business one, it was personal, he was given assurances, it was built on trust and friendships. But even after being screwed over he was pretty chill. Then he reached a point after the Watchmen film where he moved on, started writing novels and doing local projects. He still loves comics, his daughter said that, but he's doing other things.

Damon Lindelof tried to contact Alan Moore when developing the show. Alan pretty much politely said, no thanks I don't want to talk to you. So Damon went on a huge rant in an interview about how Watchmen isn't original and Alan's a hypocrite, how he's taking Alan's punk attitude to say fuck you Alan Moore.

Damon is a little grubby neurotic pig.
>>
>>217808205

>I made this argument up in my conservative brain!

Okay gramps, time to change your diaper and get you off to bed now
>>
>>217808256
He's always been very justified in hating DC. They gave him a whole "once the printing run is over you'll have the rights" and then, like 40 years later, they've deliberately kept reprinting it to keep the rights to themselves.
>>
>>217808233
I'm glad he vexes you, because it makes you upset.

>I hate this guy's writing so much, but I insist on watching what he's written!

Please keep watching his stuff and wasting your life over it. Please!
>>
>>217808256
>DAMON LINDELOFF: That's the spirit of what [Moore] did with Watchmen in the first place. It's an original world, but the basis for that world is on these other characters that DC had just bought from this other comic book company called Charlton and he did riffs on those characters.
>The idea that he came in and told iconic stories of characters that he didn't create and has now turned around and said 'you're not allowed to do that with the iconic characters that I created,' I sort of feel like his own hypocrisy enables me to defile his [work].
>I made personal overtures to explain what we are doing, and he declined.
>I do feel like the spirit of Alan Moore is a punk rock spirit, a rebellious spirit, and that if you would tell Alan Moore, a teenage Moore in ’85 or ’86, ‘You’re not allowed to do this because Superman’s creator or Swamp Thing’s creator doesn’t want you to do it,’ he would say, ‘F— you, I’m doing it anyway.’
>So I’m channeling the spirit of Alan Moore to tell Alan Moore, ‘F— you, I’m doing it anyway.'”
>I think that when it comes to Rorschach, there is a meta idea that is embedded in the show that we're writing about appropriation. We understand that we're appropriating the original Watchmen, and that characters in the show are appropriating iconic ideas like the Rorschach mask from the original Watchmen. […] Rorschach is dead. He's not around to say you got it all wrong.
>As someone who has a very complicated relationship with my dad — I constantly need to prove myself to my father - Alan Moore is now my surrogate dad with this, so the wrestling match will continue.
>Alan Moore is a genius, in my opinion the greatest writer in the comic book medium, and maybe one of the greatest writers of all time. He's made it very clear he doesn't want any association or affiliation with Watchmen ongoing and that we not use his name to get people to watch it, which I want to respect.

that's because you're a spiteful shit. that's all the stuff he worked on btw before hollywood figured out he was a dud

>Moore said he received “a frank letter from the showrunner of the ‘Watchmen’
>"‘Dear Mr. Moore, I am one of the bastards currently destroying Watchmen.’ That wasn’t the best opener,”
>“It went on through a lot of, what seemed to me to be, neurotic rambling, ‘Can you at least tell us how to pronounce ‘Ozymandias’?’
>"I got back with a very abrupt and probably hostile reply telling him that I’d thought that Warner Brothers were aware that they, nor any of their employees, shouldn’t contact me again for any reason."
>“I explained that I had disowned the work in question, and partly that was because the film industry and the comics industry seemed to have created things that had nothing to do with my work, but which would be associated with it in the public mind. I said, ‘Look, this is embarrassing to me. I don’t want anything to do with you or your show. Please don’t bother me again.'”
>“When I saw the television industry awards that the ‘Watchmen’ television show had apparently won, I thought, ‘Oh, god, perhaps a large part of the public, this is what they think ‘Watchmen’ was?'”
>“They think that it was a dark, gritty, dystopian superhero franchise that was something to do with white supremacism. Did they not understand ‘Watchmen’? ‘Watchmen’ was nearly 40 years ago and was relatively simple in comparison with a lot of my later work. What are the chances that they broadly understood anything since? This tends to make me feel less than fond of those works. They mean a bit less in my heart.”
>Moore explained that “Watchmen” is a “critique of the superhero genre".
>“They were trying to show that any attempt to realize these figures in any kind of realistic context will always be grotesque and nightmarish. But that doesn’t seem to be the message that people took from this."
>“They seemed to think, uh, yeah, dark, depressing superheroes are, like, cool.”
>>
>>217808313
Damon has a bad relationship with his dad, compared Alan with his dad, shit on Alan, and ended the interview claiming he "respects Alan Moore". It's insane. Damon is not a mentally well person.

>>217808381
And Alan's response never really mentions the show, he never shits on the show directly, he's just upset at being bothered and misunderstood by a neurotic weirdo.

There's no way he actually asked this.

It's flawed but interesting and entertaining. It's a little out there for a big budget TV show and I'm always there for that.

As a continuation of Watchmen it's terrible, it completely puts aside the themes and characterizations of the original work so much that the plot doesn't even make any sense if you're taking the show as a continuation of the comic.
>>
>>217808367
It's more like, I'm amused and entertained at how easily it is to provoke conservative people into a retarded rampage. It's like, you have the emotional capacity of a 4 year old. Love to see it!
>>
>>217804102
It's the thought that counts
>>
>>217808405
He did according to Alan. I can only surmise Damon thought "sincere nerdy questions" would be seen as cute and met by humour and break down Alan's gruff exterior making him want to respond. Of course Damon is a neurotic mess and came across as such
>>
>>217808398
>And Alan's response never really mentions the show
Right here, faggot:
>They think that it was a dark, gritty, dystopian superhero franchise that was something to do with white supremacism. Did they not understand ‘Watchmen’?
>>
>>217807602
It's amazing how far ones own ass someone can get. Moore's not going to need any instruments to perform a full colonoscopy to himself.
>>
>>217808417
a classic case of projection, i am the one entertained and you are the one sperging all over this thread

A black woman on the poster should tell you everything.
>>
>>217808444
Anon, when I said he "never really mentions the show," I mean the majority of his comments are not DIRECTLY about the show, it's about being bothered and the whole situation, one comment doesn't matter and fits what I said. He didn't want to be bothered by some mentally ill faggot.
>>
>>217808450
Moore was completely right.
>>
>>217808465
Nah, you're the one who lost his mind over the color of the skin of the cast members and still watched the show despite knowing it was written by someone you hate lol

I'm just here, reminding y'all how retarded you are for being goaded into it and then still raging about it all these years later.
>>
>>217803598
woke
so skip

>>217803598
It is a fanfiction that puts a black girl front and center in its advertising. Something like that is never good, and the casting tells you it is 150% woke, and only concerned with current ideology, not the source material.
>>

Please go do this with some ICE officers, it will be very amusing

yes and yes
>>
>>217807500
>The woker, the broker
Fixed that for you.
This was canned after one season and everyone except the critics hated it, btw.

This and Lovecraft Country are basically the zenith of wokeslop. Stay the ever living FUCK away from it.

They're literally the ONLY people talking about it.
Nobody remembers this show. The few that do only remember it due to how shit it was.
Lmao
>>
>>217808130
neither i nor anyone cares what you enjoy.
its woke and its GONE, and nobody will fucking watch it, now GET THE FUCK OUT BACK TO YOUR CONTAINMENT BOARD.
>>
>>217810635
Lovecraft Country was a legitimate terrible show. Watchmen HBO series was amazing.
>>
Whole thing is just an excuse to rub a nigger's ass, dick and balls in your face.

Literally
>>
>>217803598
The good thing about this show is how honest it is. It doesn't give you a great premise and then shoves woke shit in the later episodes. Straight out of the gate, it bombards you with prime wokeslop. So, just watch the first 30 minutes of the first episode, if you think it's good, you'll probably like the entire show.
