“Watchmen is a comic book.”

What could be hunkier than this?

of course not, i remember him in die hard 3 though

there is no hero of watchmen

The kindly old newspaper stand owner who grumbled about the kid reading his comic books for free, but still let him stay, is the hero.

Werner Herzog would never watch this.

I’m very happy to see Destro is in this.

I think what makes me hopeful about this Watchmen series, is that it isn’t a straight up adaptation of the comic series. Besides already seeing all those story beats, more or less, in the movie, this has a better chance to be good as it’s own thing.

They used CGI to replace it with a period-appropriate walkie talkie.

Welcome to Newswire, where every project we discuss is considered awful and worthy of our most intense scorn. 

“Wait, you mean you didn’t emotionally abuse and psychologically scar Julianne Moore on Boogie Nights? Pffft, what a Hollywood phony.”

Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson and Paul W. S. Anderson should all collaborate on a movie some time. Imagine what a glorious mess that would be.

I will say, I have found it odd that the franchise introduced cloning, but never really reckoned with it. Like, this incredible technology was used once, to clone one guy, and that was it? No one ever thought to clone folks of real power and influence like Darth Vader or Obi-Wan? Just, hey, we did it with this random…

Nah... If Rian Johnson intended for Kylo to be telling the truth and JJ Abrams comes around and says that it turns out he was lying, that’s a retcon. It’s a much less convoluted and ridiculous retcon than the real Jean Grey being in a cocoon under Jamaica Bay while a mystical space bird somehow created a physical form…

I’ve always thought of it like this: Whedon (unintentionally, I’m sure) perfectly captured the feeling of reading through one of those 90s mutli-series comic crossovers, like Acts of Vengeance or Operation: Galactic Storm.

Yes, the movie AoU derives more source material from Ultron’s origin (substituting Stark for Pym), “Behold the Vision!”, and some stray superficial plot elements from Ultron Unlimited.

Meh, if you’re not gonna go full out ‘Most Dangerous Game’ then don’t fuckin bother.

There were good gags on “Danger Island”?

It had some real cool textural stuff like Yggdrasil with the galaxies nestle din its branches, or the Norns as healers. A perfect blend of the techno-magical world of the Asgards.

Malekith, Kaecilius, and Ronan walk into a bar...and they never get served, because they’re too boring for anyone to notice.
