Hollywood doesn’t understand love like us humans do. It inhales money and cocaine and shits out CGI and advertisements.

Will there be wise-cracking? I believe there will be wise-cracking!

I really like the Beatrix Potter books. I’m not trying to be a purist or anything but from the trailer I find that they kept: the rabbit’s name, his jacket, and the name (though not the age) of MacGregor.

Ok so are Domhnall Gleeson and Margot Robbie on a mission to drown us in twee British ~films~ so saccharine that all my teeth instantly fall out and I develop diabetes on the spot? Because this is the third one.
And why is Margot Robbie suddenly even in the stable of British actors when she’s a frikkin Aussie?? There…

This movie needs WAY more ‘tude.

Top Ten and Tom Strong. Fight me!

Man, I agree with most of what you’re saying, but it’s hard to take you seriously if you don’t understand the difference between “then” and “than.”

Actually yeah, I found him repulsive to begin with as well but then I fund myself empathizing with him only to question that only to feel for him because of his end and how he still stood up to someone he could never beat for what was at least in his mind the right thing to do. Silly that I forgot about my initial…

We aren’t suppose to like anyone at the end really. Every character in Watchman is a flawed person(kinda like real life). The whole idea of the book was a narrative that basically summed up as “Superheroes are just like normal folks, fucked up”.

If only that were true, C.H.U.T. - I’d put Sanders’s Medicare For All Bill in front of Trump, and cheer every letter he formed on his own.

It’s such a nuanced take on Ditko’s morality, too; Moore clearly does not agree with Ditko’s beliefs but he finds the nobility in them. There’s a reason Rorschach is the most popular character in the book, and it’s not just one-liners like “you’re trapped in here with me.” He’s the only character who’s willing to die…

I found him initially repulsive but, on finding out his origin story, more of a “there but for the grace of God go I” kind of character. After what he’s been through, most anybody would be the way he is.

I absolutely loved this epp: that “cisnormative names” alone, damn...

I mean we are supposed to laugh at the lines “you know we don’t like cisnormative pet names” and “stop I am a citizen of the united states and I demand to see your permit!”

I think you are supposed to like Rorschach but then feel increasingly uncomfortable when he takes things way too far (which is basically all the time) yet then feel sorrow when he dies actually standing up for what’s right. That’s the beauty of Watchmen, it’s not simple and certainly not black and white.

Damn, you’re right, I conflated the two. Sadism was Hooded Justice’s identifying trait, though bigotry wouldn’t be surprising. Mothman is really cool, but I find something truly pathetic and iconic about it’s essentially marketing and branding that kills Dollar Bill.

The problem is that Snyder’s Watchmen doesn’t understand the nuances and just makes him a badass and glorifies his actions as heroic rather then the sign of a mentally unstable character.

What about Prometheus? He turned that into an incomprehensible mess. Granted the original draft of the script wasn’t perfect but he made it worse by removing plot points or character motivations for no reason other then because he thinks that the questions are more important then answering them.

After what he did with The Leftovers, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
