    i did, and i hated the changes

    It would be so hard to cinematically adapt the artists on the island creating the giant squid.
    I had no problem with the changes
    Readers hated the final issue of watchmen when it first dropped in the 80s

    i feel like someone could write an interesting essay on how the failures to adapt watchmen can be mapped onto the fact it was the work of a sweaty english anarchist being adapted by an american liberal

    Usually hate the whole ambiguous ending thing in a series but it was so well done. Leftovers ending too actually

    Def need to rewatch as well. I think I got fully sold on the flashback episode where she sees her grandfather’s career

    I thought that was so interesting, I wish it wouldve fleshed out the relationship between him and silk spectre

    Alan Moore himself said watchmen was written as a comic and wouldn't work in any other format
    I think snyder did the best job he could almost directly adapting it but changing what he needed to to make it work as a movie

    i think more my issue is that the adaptation in and of itself was misguided because you can't condense a story that complicated into 2 hours

    realllyyyy nervous about this one, but it's just because GL has such a special place in my heart.

    My first wave reading comics was the geoff johns run. I lived thru rebirth all the way thru to blackest night
