It'll never not be funny to me how absolutely HUMONGOUS Dr Manhattan's dong looks in the Watchmen show

No wonder Angela was ready to risk it all for that man

HBO Watchmen episode covers by Butcher Billy.

The above image is a six-panel excerpt from "A God Walks Into Abar" - the 8th episode of the Watchmen HBO show. Doctor Manhattan, a blue-skinned man in a black T-shirt, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen, is talking to his wife, a Black woman dressed in body armor, played by Regina King. She is standing in front of her gun closet, loading a big fuck-off pistol.

(Panel 1) He says, "I just told you that you can't save me." (Panel 2) "and you're gonna try anyway." (Panel 3) "In the bar the night we met, you asked me" (Panel 4) "about the moment I fell in love with you." (Panel 5) "This is the moment." (Panel 6) She responds, "Is that supposed to be romantic?"

Saw Max took Watchmen off their service and I would not be surprised at all if in a few years we find out the Discovery buyout was a torch and burn scheme. Genuinely have not seen that company make one good choice since the merger

If I had a nickel for every time there was a reboot/sequel to a critical darling that was made by people who seemed to fundamentally not understand the source material, I would have two nickels.

Finally saw the watchmen tv show

Was really good

Except why'd they get really eugenics-y with Veidt and Trieu. That was a bit weird

[violentdevotion]

this show is just begging me to say excessive state violence against anyone including white supremacists is not good

I think HBO Watchmen got the praise it got largely piggybacking on the 2020 protests against police brutality. Critical reaction was positive but not as overwhelmingly so before that. Then came the Emmys etc and here was a need to be Topically Relevant™. Also mask jokes, that was all over the /r/Watchmen subreddit and was unbearable and in poor taste.

Well, the sociology of the Watchmen reception is its own subject. I mean there is a phenomenon of "writing for the water cooler discussions" which is to say you write stuff on TV that will get buzz online and as such caters to what people in the media or commentariat are interested in writing about. The Lindelof show did that and the nature of episodic TV is that it's hard to get a sense of the full thing until it's over. To me Watchmen is weird and confusing...much like Lindelof is. Like that guy doesn't have the imagination, talent and political daring of Moore so the whole thing reads like a centrist co-opting of radical critique.

Retcon Doomsday Clock. That trash is an insult to Watchmen and Art itself.
