Totally buried the lead: Rey’s aim is terrible for a Force-wielder.

Yeah, it’s just bad writing.

I noticed that after the fact. I spaced on it the first time. Again I’m sure very intentional. 

Are we all ignoring that in-universe, Donald Trump’s father was killed by the first costumed vigilante?

What’s worse than a Stormtrooper? One with air power. That’s right: “They fly now.” All hail the First Order’s glorious new invention: the jetpack.

Gives me a big GI Joe vibe.

The revelations in tonight’s episode! Loved that we’re getting answers.

“which has always been something on a stain on the comics’ legacy because the optics of putting a white man into a pointed hood, wrapping a noose around his neck, and presenting him as a superhero is patently bad”

This episode was brilliant. And, I’m ashamed that it simply never occurred to me that Hooded Justice’s getup (noose and rope around wrists) was an allusion to someone who had escaped being hanged. I’m so stupid.

Here for the mad comments. Much like Elon Musk, this game has the weirdest defenders.

and what if you worked in one of the WTC towers and managed to get out on 9/11? or somewhere that was literally a stone’s throw away, as Wade was on 11/2?

A few things in this episode really tested my suspension of disbelief within this universe:

Especially in a world with super science beyond our own. Even our world, that is starting to be convincingly faked.

But he’s giving that info to powerful people so a small few know the truth. It’s not like Rorschach’s attempt because he honestly believed that everyone read The Frontiersman so they’d be educated.

This is interesting! In the comics, Nostalgia’s mainly a line of cosmetics and fragrances, IIRC and the episode nods to that with the mercy product testing you see Looking Glass surveying from behind the double-sided mirror.

Nostalgia appeared on billboards in the original comics (though it was never clear what it actually was), it was definitely a Veidt product - likely Trieu got it when she bought the company out.

Watchmen’s tangents into Adrian Veidt’s imprisonment have been some of the least interesting moments of the season so far. . .

Here, Nostalgia is a Veidt-developed drug that was eventually outlawed because of its dangerous side effects

I’m not sure they’re getting the Veidt we know from the comics right on screen. It seemed even more apparent in the recorded video. The kind-of de-aged Jeremy Irons didn’t look or feel right.

I suspect the calamari didn’t help.
