[Yggi11]

Can someone give me the name of the song in this trailer?

[m125083]

I have the film, it was pretty good, but the graphic novel is amazing!!! read it, I was surprised to see that it is in the top 100 in time magazine ( I think)nthe only graphic novel there, it is superb, pretty much like Mr. Moore always has been.

[Wzershart]

This my dear Watchmen friends, was brought to you by Alan.

As God himself.

[MATTHEWTHEINGRAM]

I really couldnt stand reading the Tales from the black freighter while trying to figure out what the news vender and the black kid was saying

[cha5]

@MATTHEWTHEINGRAM It's a story within a story, for me it's one of my favorite parts of the comic with the narrator echoing the themes of what's happening in the world of the Watchmen characters, plus I love the E.C. comics references Moore puts in Tales of The Black Freighter.

[Roxas2k9]

What cant you people tell?Look at the guy.Ths is obviously the story of Jesus but retold in its true form.

[waterboyneb]

what the heck is the black freighter??? the trailere doesn't even make sense...I didn't see even 1 costume..

[bignerd5529]

@waterboyneb

Tales of the black freighter isn't about something like Watchmen, it's about a man who went to a voyage but was shipwrecked by pirates. Thinking his family was killed by the pirates, he takes a long journey home, to seek revenge on them.

[StevoDesign]

@waterboyneb In the original Watchmen graphic novel, Tales of the Black Freighter is the name of a story that one of the character reads (you may recognize him from the bomb scene in New York as the black boy with the newspaper vendor). The story interrupts the plot, but oddly enough goes along with it. It's about a man whose ship is attacked and has to make his way home. Very good sub-story.

[Asisan1]

what does this have to do with watchmen?

[HayleyRyder]

Have you read the novel?

[KatherineBurnett]

@Asisan1 This is a just one of the many separate plots in the graphic novel. It shows that since that the universe the Watchmen inhabit already has real superheroes, comics need to be written about something else.

[kingt34]

This is adding to what katherine said, but yeah. This story is the comic book the kid is reading who is by the news stand (I think he was in some of the movie?) But yeah this is the comic that he was reading. It's pretty grim but it's cool lol.

[eltheniol]

Rorschach u meant o/

[NoFearNoFlame]

Raw Shark! SHIT

[RaverYusuke]

Is this gonna be fuckin' real?

[GameSpoofer2]

[Gamesvideoss]

i like the watchmen with rorschach and all the others

[zotrablue]

me2!

[FinbinFarbar]

this has been made to complete the watchmen movie because the book was just too complicated to turn into one film

[interruptor]

The thing about the book is that when Alan Moore wrote it, he was trying to prove that graphic novels were a serious medium that could achieve something that other mediums couldn't - and it did. That's one of the reasons why he has always stood against the movie being made and why a movie (even with all these extras) doesn't come close to the depth and detail of the original.

[xanderlev1]

Crazy. The meta-comic book from the original Watchmen as its own animated movie? Never thought I'd see the day. Do people even get it?

[interruptor]

I was thinking the same. There's a kid in the movie sitting on the sidewalk with a portable Blu-Ray player watching this as the movie progresses.

[Zeldarulah]

hahahahaha

very true

[LILACTIME]

I never understood Dave Gibbons contention that a society with real superheroes wouldn't want to read comic books about superheroes...that's akin to saying that a world that had real cowboys wouldn't make Westerns!......

[DarkPieman]

Well the thought was that most of the superheroes in Watchmen were kind of hated by everybody, but Veidt does have his own action figure range...

[intigfx]

Westerns appeared way after the 19th-century "golden age" of cowboys, who became legend.

Whereas in the Watchmen universe, the superheroes are hated by the people.

[ghhyrd]

We only made Westerns after the cowboys.

[LILACTIME]

If you mean Westerns as a movie genre then obviously it had to be after the West had gone as the technology didn't exist ...however, Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West shows began in 1872 and reflected an idealised West in much the same way as Hollywood did

[shadowprince101]
