How can the world's smartest man also be the world's fastest, and one of the strongest as well? Can you say, o-v-e-r-p-o-w-e-r-e-d. I'm cancelling my subscription unless they nerf him.
Comedian knew that life was a joke, that humans were headed toward a path of self-destruction. He didn't care and treated it as a joke. Didn't care if it was a good joke, just went along with the punchline.
They wanted to parody the Schumacher "Batman and Robin" nipple costume. It was meant to make Ozy look commercialized, fake and lost in his own world, just like his toy line.
That's why i don't like the comedian, who cares how big a problem is that is what heroes are for! You do what you can and you never give up! Did superman give up under that mountain of kryptonite? Did captain america give up when he learned that he woke up in the 70's?
In that sense i think Roshach is a better hero then comedian will ever be.
You're missing the whole point of the story. The story is about who actually has power in the world. These characters dressed up and pretended to be heroes in hopes of fighting crime and making the world a better place. But, The Comedian understood that breaking up one crime ring didn't change the world, it didn't change the criminals, and it didn't change human nature. Can't say more, read the book
I read the book. Okay maybe nite owl and roshach can't change the world by themselves but atleast they kept trying comedian just said 'screw, i can't save it so i'm not going to bother'
still, spectre´s got a point! i think the most important thing about the GN is that it doesn´t provide us with easy, one-sided answers. there are so many shades of grey, so many questions ... i think we can all agree on the point that the comedian sure didn´t make the world a better place. but the question is: who does? who has the ability? and what, exactly, needs to be done? cue adrian ... he sure changed things - but at what cost?
I think Comedian made a bigger impact in that room when it was Cptn. Metropolis introducing their group as the "Crimebusters". Comedian burned the map, and it looked like Metropolis was well near tears. Well, maybe not tears, but he was like, "M-my display!"
I think the reason why they had Ozymandias head the room was to give a motivation for revenge.
In the original book Blake beat up Veidt one day, and Veidt waited several years before personallt killing Blake. Here they make the humiliation the motivation.
Yes, but when he did have to kill Blake, he decided to do so personally. He could have used a more indirect method or maybe used an accomplice, if that would work. Instead he decided to go to Blake's apartment and kill him.
Also in the book Veidt says "I swore to deny his kind their last black laugh at Earth's expense. I also swore that when next I met Blake or any other foe, though perhaps not on my territory... It would certainly be on my terms." (Ch. XI, Page 19)
Awesome movie. WATCHMEN really dug up what was wrong with the superhero genre: a costumed guy with gadgets still can't make a dent in society's problems. It turned everything on its head.
so why went manhattan al emo during the tv show? couldn't he see in the future /past that they where getting cancer from something else... couldn't he put 1 and 1 together and asked why his teammates didn't get cancer? Silk Spectre must have been a walking tumor during the movie
i thought that was only blocked for that time moment where the nuke exploded... cause during the movie he could still predict events for Silk Spectre. also you don't need to see the future to see that his superhero friends didn't have cancer
nah but both comic and movie explains, ozy attack Doc. in a Psicologic level, based on exams do to him, remember Rorschach found a profile of Manhattan on Ozy's office. and so, while doc could have see what adrian eas planning he just didn't have mind to do it you know with all the cancer thing, going to mars and all that Psicologic tirp he does in mars XD and by the time he starts focus again, the blocks produced by veidt have alredy enter in action.
no remember in the begining he was like eh cant see the future so good cuz ozy got something that made his future jugdment go cloudy im pretty sures that why and he wanted to be left alone lol
I think it was a great movie. Of course they cant put in all of the details, but i recall watching a interview of Zack Snyder saying this movie will hopfully get more people to read the novel
I just saw this movie and it was a big let down. Its interesting to watch for the novelty of live-action but that wears off quickly. Just read the book :)
i believe the movie ending was better then the book since in the movie they thought doctor manhattan killed everybody and people had a reason to fear, but in the book they feared a gaint squid that they thought was an alien. So what happens when people question if it really was an alien they only got to see one "so called alien" while they know that doctor manhattan was real in there world.
I understand your point but it still dosen't make the movie any better. The movie was just so rushed and cut really short, its like watching the Cliff Notes version of WATCHMEN
i agree 100% they cut out dr. manhattan's whole shpeil on mars about chaotic terrain and pointless human life, they changed how rorschach kills the child murderer, they didnt say why manhatten singed the hydrogen symbol in his head, and they completely removed the black freighter and they never showed how rorschach got his mask and ultimately became rorschach all that and so much more. they just completely butchered it
Minor details that are irrelevant. The way Rorscach killed the guy in the movie was way more personal and dramatic, it fit the scene better than the original verison.
Stop whining about them cutting out minor details.
Don't go see it. For fans, it doesn't allow you to connect with the characters emotionally like in the book, and for non-fans it is marketed as an action movie when it is really a 2hour 45min long boring pile of nothing. So everybody loses. Everything you saw in the trailers and movie spots are all of the action scenes. Buy the book or the motion comic on itunes. You'll have a much better experience.
thank you! i was just about to complain about their attitudes. ozymandias i think is supposed to at least be an ok guy, although arrogant. he looks like a weakling prick here, like he's afraid of the comedian. funny how when you film something live, the scene becomes duller
very true. However, whilst Ozy isn't portayed as well in the film as he could have been, he doesn't come across as a weakling, he's actually pretty terrifying!
The Blue Guy looks awesome, but it is hard to take the other 2 douch bags seriously whith those fucking guy masks/ outfits on......At least BATMAN looks gangsta in his shit.....these guys look like throw backs from a butt cowboy halloween party.
Nope......Don't get me wrong, I am interested in watching the movie, this just looks as campy as Hellboy, which is lame......Maybe I am just into more "reality based" comics (i.e. Batman WHO IS REAL).....that's just me.
i just saw the movie. i thought the dark night was overrated, in my honest opinion, from not reading the novel, it is better than the dark night. the ending is something that is beyond words.
By saying "batman is real" he means all the shit batman does is doable by a real person, like it'd be possible in real life. Not that batman is a real dude, don't be retarded.
Aside from Dr. Manhattan, these characters are arguably the most realistic in any superhero comic medium. None of them have any superpowers, again excluding Dr. Manhattan. And as for Batman comics being "reality based", that really isn't true, as much as I love the guy. I dare you to look at me with a straight face and tell me that a character like Ra's al Ghul is based in reality.
Ozymandias no, and the change is awful i must say, plus the actor they cast to do the character is horrible, he has like this deprave and decadent face, in the comic Ozy is like with an almost angelical face, noble, you know that kind of guy people think is pefect in every sense, plus he is very muscular even in suit
Having just finished the novel for the second time, I am very happy to see that the original lines themselves are intact, especially Comedian's "smartest man on the cinder" bit.
It's an awesome feeling to see the story I, as well as many others, have read on the screen. I'm going to see the full movie this weekend. I am pumped. I just hope they didn't make any extreme changes.
You dont see Captain Metropolis because this isnt showing the infamous first/last meeting of the crime busters but the Last meeting of the "Watchmen" as to why they chose to go that route instead of following the source material I have no idea.
