I'm so fricking done with this shit. started reading about last week and I barely just finished issue 4. it is so damm hard to understand this, you know what feeling when you're reading stuff not because you understand it and are thrilled about it, but because you simply have to read it?? literal obligation. it's so boring, nothing really happens, it's just a bunch of blah blah stuff, nihilistic shit, there are a bunch of characters, superheroes, but it's all blah blah about their personal lives and beliefs. nothing really happens, plus symbolic metaphorical bullshit
I'm damm tired. I wanted to read this to understand what the frick dr manhattan (or whatever this universe is) has to do with dc, but I'm done. my patience has its limits
4 issues, 4 fricking issues and I'm already tired. they're long, dull, boring, AND ALSO each one of them have this 3-4 boring pages of text
Not your blog
oooh a brainlet thread
Wrong attitude. He has possible ADHS!
>too dumb to read a fricking picture book
self hating comic fan?
>obligation
To whom anon?
to the need of consuming the media dumbass
you set your goal, you want to consume the piece of work/media, but you are not enjoying it, not enjoying it at all, but this thing is this very important book, but you are not enjoying it at all
the only thing I even found interesting was the one from the upper left, the one who was playing detective at the beginning... forgot his name
>very important book
It's a picture book anon....
>to the need of consuming the media
need of consuming? seriously dude, read out loud what you just wrote. Go to therapy.
And? Go read something you enjoy instead. Life is too short to waste turning yourself inside out over a book if you aren't getting anything out of it.
I consume things I like just fine, and have been doing it for ages, and then there are times when I want to try things out of my comfort zone. these stuff wont read by themselves, so I have to, eventually, go read them
it's not bad to consume things out of your comfort zone
your "solution" is literally what I'm doing just now lol why are you even mad
You literally have a low grade level of literacy and writing, I just wanted to let you know that. You process thoughts like a third grader
>I wanted to read this to understand what the frick dr manhattan (or whatever this universe is) has to do with dc
lmao
Your questions wouldn't have been answered anyways
>it is so damm hard to understand this
What's hard to understand? You didn't get filtered by the bonus material at the end of each issue, did you?
Besides, Watchmen is best read one issue a week to let it all sink in.
I like punisher but even I had trouble reading one of its last arcs from the first MAX volumen - That didnt stop me from reading it thrice in the span of 6 years tho, since I ENJOY IT
>Besides, Watchmen is best read one issue a week to let it all sink in.
and you know what sucks?? the fact that I'l probably have to read it again at one point in the future eventully to fully understand it. because hey 4 issues and I don't really remember its characters
If you have trouble reading Watchmen or the freaking Punisher, you’re probably just mentally moronic
Not even trying to be mean but these are comic books written for kids, not Shakespeare or Proust
No shit you don't remember anything after 4 issues, you didn't even get halfway through the book and it seems like you're forcing yourself to hate it because it's a beloved story
shit taste
the comedian
Filtered
Skip to the part where you unironically say "Joke's on you, I was only pretending to be moronic."
I have no idea what this comic series is so I have no opinion.
This seems like bait, but I'll chime in anyway.
Watchmen is one of my all-time favorite comics. I reread it every so often for fun. I suggest you come back to it at another time, whenever you feel the want to read it. You never know, it may be one of your favorites some day.
i liked it…
Kingdom Come is way better and it has real superheroes not off brand knockoffs.
I don't get the big deal either. It's mediocre and it's impact in 'le deconstruction' has been disastrous for the medium.
Watchmen ain't responsible for the grimdark era. That's entirely on the idiots who tried imitating it without understanding it.
You are obligated to like it, anon. Just let it happen.
>I don't get the big deal either.
Then you didn't understand it.
While this is true, we aren't talking about Neon Genesis Evangelion, so IDK why you are bringing that into this.
nice blog, get some taste
damn good luck in life. love you
I pity you
You're reading too much into it. There's nothing to "understand". It's just Alan Moore saying "aren't superheroes unrealistic?" and then every jackass writer in American comics went and made their own "analytical superhero comic" and they (almost) all sucked.
As far as what Dr. Manhattan has to do with DC, the answer is "absolutely nothing whatsoever". Watchmen takes place entirely outside of the DC Universe. It was never even meant to be a "multiverse" story or anything like that. It's its own separate self-contained thing.
>It's just Alan Moore saying "aren't superheroes unrealistic?"
You didn't get it.
Get over yourself, you basement dwelling homosexual.
You didn't get it.
i had this impression that manhattan crossed with dc universe at some point, what with all the hundred of reboots and weird canonized crossover dc has (the likes of constantine or lucifer morningstar, for example). so that never happened and I was just losing time??
it did but Geoff Johns' dribblings are completely irrelevant to Watchmen itself. You SHOULD be reading Watchmen because it's a top-tier comic with historical significance to the medium, not because it got referenced by some crossover event 40 years later.
>it did
Where?
Doomsday Clock is just about Watchmen meeting DC which is such a moronic idea, almost as moronic as when Travis Bickle showed up for some reason
Constantine originated in Swamp Thing. He didn't "crossover" with anything. He's a DC Universe character and always has been.
And a lot of Vertigo in general was DC Universe. Cinemaphile still doesn't seem to understand that.
I read it at 14. My peurile-ass ate that moody, dramatic, talky shit up. Pour one out for the sorry saps reading this for the first time past 18--Comic books are for kids lol. Btw, in addition to the HBO show, you can pass on Snyder's film, but you should definitely check out the animated "Black Freightor" short film produced subordinately to it. It's 2-D-drawn by by the AEon Flux folks and was actually a good stand-alone work.
How old are you?
All you need to know is that Rightschach was in the right in the end despite being a nutcase and all the others are weak scum with no morals and spines less firm than melted pudding
Yes
I don't think the book would be enriching if you're only reading it as a tie in for modern DC when Watchmen was always intended as a standalone story. It's not really a fun action story but a drama about multiple middle life crisis' during the Cold War with a superhero back drop. Maybe just stick with the mainline superhero stuff
Well put. It is much kore about realistic characters with psychological reaction similar to reality. Not that the world is realistic, but it is more grounded in realism.
What are you having trouble understanding? I don't remember anything in this being difficult.
Hahahahahahahaha
Aaaahahahahaha
Oh man
I liked it
Don't speed read anticipating something big to happen. take your time with the material. If it takes you a month to read so be it.
