Watchmen (HBO) TV Show • Page 43

Hahaha the villain would wear the comic briefs

 

We don’t need a season two.

but I want a season two.

 

they did the damn thing

 

This was perfect

 

Blue dick finally

 

"i am the eggman"

 

Honesty given the source material my immediate complaint is it ended almost...too positively?

 

lmao

 

Haha yeah tbh I did expect a much bleaker ending

 

I admittedly had some nervousness concerning whether they would be able to perfectly stick the landing but they managed to pull it off. This was as close to a flawless season of television as I’ve ever seen and the ending was fantastic. Whatever else we may or may not get from this show, I could not have been happier with how it all turned out. Bravo.

 

This whole season was handled with such precision and care, it’s truly beautiful from an artistic level alone. Every script, scene, set design, what have you was chosen with purpose. Inspiring.

 

Masterpiece. In every way.

 

beautiful season of television

 

So did Manhattan teleport Blake/Veidt/Looking Glass to Veidt’s lair on purpose, or was it just an instinctual response to save them akin to him sending the 7K dude to New Mexico

I think I like to believe that it’s the former and he was simply trusting them to save the day. Like he wouldn’t have been able to know that it would work since he knew he was going to die before that, but I like to interpret it as him at least thinking “smartest man in the universe + someone I trust to do the right thing = solution to whatever this freak has planned”

 

wonderful interview here with Lindelof, he basically says he isn't doing another season or rather has no intention to, every idea he had is in these episodes.

 

Cool observation I read: Looking Glass "defeating" Adrian could be analogous to how Narcissus from Greek mythology met his fate by being unable to look away from his reflection

 

All the ideas they had *up to now* are in this season. If he’s inspired in the future to continue the story he’ll likely do it.

 

I also like that Trieu absolutely lost it when Manhattan teleported them away. Like everything went exactly as she planned up to this one thing that ostensibly doesn’t matter at all which makes her more upset than anything has this whole show. Proving Adrien’s narcissism/would-be dictator point lol

 

I read it yeah, he adds the never say never line but it sounds like he has no plans too, which is fine by me, I hope they dont get someone else to continue it personally

 

His answer about where the idea to make Hooded Justice black came from is so good.

 

he speaks so well about the thought process on everything, its fascinating to read

 

Yupp, sounds like Veidt

 

Enjoyed most of it, didn’t think the finale was a great ending to the story. Overall I personally didn’t like it as an extension of the source material. Which is a shame because a few things started out great, particularly Rorschach as the hero of the white supremacists and the hooded justice backstory. But ultimately it didn’t do much with those themes and handling a character like Manhattan is difficult, especially trying to kill him off. That was sloppy, as was how Lady Trieu executed her plan. Wrapping everything up by killing the old god and the new villain and the fbi arresting Veidt seems so not watchmen to me. This felt more like a traditional comic book story. Shouldn’t stop me from enjoying it but I’m having a hard time separating the two stories.

 

Is there a reason why he couldn’t just teleport her away to like Mars or something?

 

Ah, of course, that was Veidt’s rocket that landed on the farm that Trieu bought in episode 4
