So is HBO's Watchmen a worthy successor to the critically acclaimed comic book and the dark and gritty Zack Snyder movie, or just a trashy, low-effort waste of time? Let's find out as I review Episode 1 - "It's Summer and We're Running Out Of Ice".

    "Law and order: Social Justice Unit" Please don't go giving Hollywood any ideas.

    "Everyone is competent and stoic." That's pretty much all we get for characterizations these days.

    I remember me and everyone I talked to about the Watchmen movie really liking it when it came out (I even bought the graphic novel after seeing it) and was baffled when over the years I found out it appearently has many haters. It has its flaws, sure, like every movie. But to this day I find it amazing and a great adaptation, even with a better ending than the comic imho. The only thing the movie didn't do as well as the graphic novel was communicating how Dr. Manhattan perceives time. It tackles it, but doesn't go into detail - "Arrival" managed that one better about the time perception.
  • Hollywood: “We are remaking “Jaws” as a series and the shark will be a racist, bigoted creature with an anti-gay agenda.” Fans: “Huh?” Hollywood: “Well it is a Great White.” Fans: slap forehead

    Nothing ends racial division like blaming everything on one group.

    Just wanted to put this out there: According to IMDB its a 8.2 According to Critics rating on rotten tomatoes its a 96% (With 117 Ratings) According to Audience rating on rotten tomatoes its a 56% (with 7832 Ratings) Pretty much tells it all realy. Journalistic Integrity is dead. Long live the Journalistic Integrity. Edit: Batwomans critic score on rotten: 84% Barwomans audience score on rotten: 18%

    The pilot episode of Lost is probably still one of TV's greatest introductions to a show ever. Every time I watch it again it sucks me in.

    Good art asks uncomfortable questions of the audience. Bad art assumes the answers to those questions for the audience. Artists now have made up their minds about right and wrong, and are uncomfortable asking questions of the audience. It's sad.

    Personal point of privilege: we prefer to call it Watchpeople!

    "But Drinker, you exceedingly intoxicated yet curiously arousing prodigy" The writing is pure gold.

    "Jeremy Irons hams it up to the best of his ability. Although if he turns out to be who I I think he is, it's going to make for the most disappointing antagonist since Kylo Renn." But of course he did turn out to be that guy.
  • this show is like if star wars focused on a random girl with a stick and a random storm trooper. oh wait.
  • @BarokaiRein
    I'm surprised they didn't rename it to Watchwomen or Watchpeople since it's 2019
