Wait there is a Watchmen sequel? WTF is this? Any of you see it?
>>
>>222496156
Yeah its great, but only if you've read and understood the graphic novel and had sex before, so its aimed at a pretty small demographic.
>>
You didn't hear about it because it's dogshit. The milkshake has already been had. There's nothing more to be extracted.
>>
>>222496186
>normie doesn't understand watchmen
color me shocked
>>
Its the most woke trash you could watch in your entire life, they even had to raceswap dr Manhattan in a lame attempt to get it more niggerlicious that they already cramped there
>>
It's actually pretty good. The whole American race shit I could have lived without but it's a well written show, I enjoyed watching it.
>>

Its the most anti-woke show allowed on television. It depicts depicts wokeness as imposed from above by an unaccountable elite and coming with masked police, whiney trauma discourse, and reparations for black people. The puppet regime was created by Ozymandias, whose technocratic liberalism is built on a foundational lie: the interdimensional squid, treated as a sacred historical trauma depicted as a clear Holocaust analogue, complete with a reference to black-and-white film punctured by a single red detail about the attack by Spielberg. The only people who question the lie are far-right extremists. Of course they are the “bad guys” from the viewpoint of the black female MC, but the bad guys are still right about reality while the good guys are enforcing a lie. In the meantime, the megalomaniacal eco-leftie daughter of Ozy wants to steal Dr. Manhattan's powers to become a Greta Thunberg god-queen of earth, and uses the squidpilled racists as a smoke screen, hence employing a race-war narrative to distract people from the real problem.

>He still doesn't get it
She says this line to a friend and colleague who, unbeknownst to her, is a KKK leader, thereby demonstrating that she actually doesn't have a nose for white supremacy at all.
>>
>>222496156
No, there is not a watchmen sequel. There is an alt-history Damon Lindelof show about the civil war ending in a stalemate with some watchmen stuff sprinkled into it, but it has nothing at all to do with watchmen.
>>
reminder: since damon lindelof’s career is over all he has left is to post here and pretend his absolute dogshit is getting some sort of reevaluation, in desperate attempt to get another job.

He has a new show coming out in 4 days lmao

No no you see the line was bad on purpose to criticize the strong black lady in a 4d chess context

Cool it's still a poorly written line from a poorly written show.

This scene was kino and took on a new light 8 months after it aired with the George Floyd riots where racially charged BLM "protestors" looted and burned.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhROY8jPV4

In the real world a crowd gathered around the sheriff's office holding a black man accused of attacking a white woman, an organized group of black men then arrived with guns, ostensibly to prevent the black man being lynched. Shots were fired and word spread of a "negro uprising" prompting white mobs to assemble and descend upon the Greenwood district.

A modern mind might say "oh, well, they had the same right to assemble and bear arms as white folks", but remember this was the 1920s not the 2020s. All things considered the riots were caused by the group of black men that purposely looted a national guard armory for this purpose.

“[I received] a frank letter from the showrunner of the Watchmen television adaptation, which I hadn’t heard was a thing at that point. But the letter, I think it opened with, ‘Dear Mr. Moore, I am one of the bastards currently destroying Watchmen.’ That wasn’t the best opener. “[The letter] 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.” Moore continued: “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.’”
>>
>>222496936
Yikes... chuddie....you probably shouldn't appeal to what Moore says, otherwise you'll also have to admit that Rorschach was always meant to be a smelly nazi incel

>>222496186
>the graphic novel
nah comics are shit. I mean sure the story is amazing and just because of that it's worth it but comic authors should learn from mangaka and pay more attention into movement and paneling (and not paneling as in "bro this is symbolic" but as in "it flows")
>>

Moore on Zack Snyder's adaptation:
>"I would rather not know [about the movie]" Moore said. He referred to Zack Snyder as "the person who made 300", which "was racist, it was homophobic, and above all it was sublimely stupid. I know that that's not what people going in to see a film like 300 are thinking about but ... I wasn't impressed with that ... "
>>

>Wait there is a Watchmen sequel? WTF is this? Any of you see it?
If a sequel does not involve the original author's voice in some way is it in any way really a sequel?
Nothing in this show has anything to do with comic books and superheroes which this show has nothing to do with. It is a race grievance special episode with fake history and action sequences. There was never even a reason to acknowledge it beyond the attempt to use the name and characters of the original in such as ridiculous manner.

Not indian I wanted to emphasize the point because OP is asking about a show that was made with ill intent and cannot seem to make a read of that from the very existence of the material. I'm erring on the side that he is about 80iq.

>>222497780
The show perfectly continues themes from the graphic novel. Chuds are incapable of understanding that because they are genuinely too dumb to even read a comic book.

Uh huh sure. Then why start with a completely unrelated fake history of a racial riot that black people started to get a guilty man out because he dindu nuffins?

Moore said that he considers the KKK to be the original American 'superheroes'. The watchmen comic ends with a far right magazine receiving Rorschach's journal, and the implication that they will publish it. Hence, the show picks up this thread of what happens when the only people who know the truth about the squid are white supremacists.
>>
>>222498152
>Moore said that he considers the KKK to be the original American 'superheroes'

because of birth of a nation anon. literally superhero KKK riders saving the US from the nigger menace.
>>
>>222498320
Yes. And the Tulsa massacre is an example of white supremacist vigilantes committing what you would consider such an act of heroism.
>>
>>222498363
The “Tulsa massacre” didn’t happen. It was literally fake history they made up for the show. Look at the Wikipedia article compared when the show entered production.
>>
>>222496156
It's a sequel to the comic, but it kinda sucks as one, still a good watch imo. If you like the comic you will probably have your issues, mainly Ozymandias and Manhattan, but nevertheless I think for some other characters I find their ending better than the novel. If you like the movie, first off, read the comic, second yeah you won't probably like this lol
>>
>>222496334
dr manhattan wasn't raceswapped, someone else unintentionally just took his mantle instead after being put in a racist experiment used to kill all blacks.

It's shit. The original Alan Moore graphic novel was about the cold war and preventing global nuclear anniahalation. This one's about "WHITE MAN BAD."

Anon Manhattan literally takes over the body of a dead nigger to play housemate with the lead nigger character.
>>
>>222498401
It still happened, it was just changed from "riot" to "massacre" to accurately describe the event.
>>222498438
it's waaay better than Doomsday Clock because it had something to say. That (event) comic was complete ass because it was deathly afraid of offending the people in this thread who liked Rorsarch for being "based", even though he was a right wing hypocrite who broke all of his principles from start to finish.

Yeah, sadly this show is probably the best "sequel" to Watchmen, and that's like a fucking low bar. Although I did like the sort of pitch or one issue comic that was Pax Americana.

As Trump has proven time and time again right wing chucklefucks never had any principles they pretend at them for power, they work with them for the need to appear reasonable and then they try to do exactly as they please to get what they want which is to be xenophobic and have a toddler their toddler level of economics knowledge taken seriously before they start another war to cover up their complete incompetence.
Lindelof and this garbage "sequel" is an example of the exact opposite smug condescending preaching about how smart and correct you can be over something you know nothing about while doing nothing meaningful to seek justice for the wronged but only to gloat over how unrighteous the other side of the coin acts while keeping the status quo for your own monetary gain.
Horseshoe theory is always right and both sides should be identified and stamped out, though we can have a few extra stamps for the left since they're so fuckheaded and annoying, least the right wing tends to actually get something done even if it tends to be horrific.

Very odd to take the source material and make a pro police brutality and government overreach sequel. There's even a fat and ugly character whose whole purpose is to remind the other cops that they can't torture detainees and he's depicted as a stick in the mud.

It is funny that they got black people to support it though.

Yes i'm not arguing one is better than the other, they're both awful, one starts stupid unwinnable wars, the other raises up mutants, idiots and women to destroy civilization. These outcomes seem inevitable when either gains powers and somewhere in the battle between two idiocies is relative stability.
