              Fascism (/ˈfæʃJzəm/ FASH-izəm) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

                I don't think this is necessarily true. People are more likely to turn a blind eye to such behavior in a low trust society, since they feel no civic duty to prevent it.

                Fair point, but I would say moreso that a low trust society is where that behavior has become the norm. But in general it’s represented by the prisoner’s dilemma. Simple scenario: You’re in a culture where lying is an unthinkable action. Imagine the advantages you could garner simply by lying.

        way too oversimplified. moore's rorschach was a criticism of steve ditko's objectivist characters. dr manhattan was completely amoral and detached from humanity. silk spectre and nite owl were sexual deviants and fetishists. comedian was a nihilist even though he tried to have a moral compass occasionally. ozymandias was a megalomaniac, narcissist and consequentialist who was willing to kill people to achieve his goal.

        I'll agree Doctor Manhattan was a poor choice but it didn't complete ruin the whole movie for me. The only other bad thing was music placement choice. I'm pretty sure using "99 Luftballoonn," though appropriate for the theme of the movie, was not a good idea to put it during a dating scene.

          Complete bullshit, all of the fight scenes are basically a frame by frame adaptation, just with the usual Snyder action style tacked on.

          Nothing in the original suggests that any of the characters are "old and schlubby" when it comes to beating the frick out of some low level thugs or cops, that's just your inner contrarian desperately trying to come up with details that aren't there to keep hating the movie.

    Glad there are a few intelligent people awake right now. The film was a pretty comic-accurate depiction visually, but thematically it was a complete fricking mess. Snyder is too optimistic for this sort of heady material, and it shows. It's actually amazing how hard it misses the point while also still looking good.

      Fricking this. Its only good for panel to panel recreation but fails at other fundamental things. Should've been a limited animated series.

      You guys keep saying this, but what exactly? What themes did he miss specifically? What did he "misunderstand" about Watchmen? How could he have made it into a more accurate adaptation that it already was (with the exceptions being replacing the squid monster and removing the psychiatrist subplot, I agree he shouldn't have done those)?

          Tales of the Black Freighter are in the extended (almost 3-hour long) edition. The rest I agree with, though I still don't see how they make the film a terrible adaptation, Game of Thrones had 10 times as many things cut and the first 5 seasons are praised as a good adaptation of the books.

        >in the comic the detectives speculate there was a fight but we see that's not the case. blake didn't fight: he KNEW who was coming for him and why, and he was a broken man who almost welcomed death after having everything he believed in smashed in by a joke too cruel yet too right that he understood perfectly
        tl,dr: mystery man beats an old man to death vs neatly choreographed fight scene with sappy music because that's cool

    I don't understand the notion that Zack Snyder wrote the Watchmen movie. David Hayter and some other guy who rewrote his screenplay did. What Snyder did was rework the ending and reinterpret the visual style of the movie to focus on comic book films instead of comic books, and wallow in orgies of ultraviolence as an aesthetic.

    Just because you change something doesn't mean you "don't understand that". That's a cope from fanboys.

        Of course they are. Look at how The Snyder Cut added extra violence to the Wonder Woman museum scene in post, because he wanted to make a statement about how humans can't possibly defy the Gods. Violence is an aesthetic. And aesthetics are meaning.

        The whole thing is a satire. Ozymandias is treated in the same way that the general who tries to start a war with russian in Dr. Strangelove is. These are people that have such a feeling of self-importance that they feel they can make the decisions which affect the rest of the world. People like this should be rejected instead of revered including the so called 'heroes'.

    the movie and every watchmen media after the original comic is utter garbage

  31. 2 years ago
    Anonymous

    The big thing most comic book gays miss about the movie is that Zack Snyder wanted Watchmen to be a commentary on movies. Not just comic book movies, but action movies as well since this is about vigilante justice. But also any other kind of movies.

    >Production Designer Alex McDowell will grant that much. "For Zack, it was really important to hit the 30 images that the fans carry with them from the graphic novel. And for himself: to know that those big beats would be respectful. But we made some big changes in the threads between those. One of the huge contributions Zack made to this -- which will really be apparent when you watch the film -- is that there are layers and layers of pop cultural reference on top of the Watchmen reference and on top of the pop cultural references already embedded in [the graphic novel]," he says. "Because we have the hindsight of 20 years and the knowledge that Apocalypse Now is embedded in the consciousness of the audience, if you want to play "The Ride of the Valkyries" over Vietnam, you've added an entire other reference layer that puts you in another space."
    >McDowell says they were empowered by Snyder to go deeper and deeper into the pop cultural references and to even add their own, including Taxi Driver, Dr. Strangelove and The Man Who Fell to Earth (whose table tennis room was McDowell's personal contribution to Dr. Manhattan's baroque abode but which did not make the theatrical cut).
    >"What we were able to do was extract all of that richness from the graphic novel and really put it in… There are all of these Easter Egg clues and I think it's going to be a way of reading this film that is going to last for years: there are clues that are deep, deep, deep within it. It's going to be a frame-by-frame analysis of it."

    The over-the-top action sequences with kung-fu and slow-motion is there to mock other action movies. Though in this movie it is made extra shocking and gory to show ugly violence can be.

    Reminder that the studio hated Snyder for not making the movie a generic action-oriented capeshit movie. They hated the idea of several cuts and wanted to take out the best scenes.

    >Still, Snyder concedes, there were crucial moments that he would not compromise when the studio suggested certain cuts. "And, of course, the funny thing is that when I was getting ready to shoot the movie, we had updated the scripted to equal the storyboards, and they were like, 'We've looked at the script and we feel we've identified three areas where you can cut: The Comedian's funeral, Manhattan goes to Mars -- nothing happens there -- and you don't need to interrogate Rorschach -- you don't need to know anything about his backstory.' I said, 'Look, if you cut out all those things, which you absolutely could do... I would wager a lot that this would just be a plot-driven movie... and this is not the movie I want to make'.

      The film revels in the action, glorifying the violence and justifying the assault and battery perpetrated by the cishet white protags as a necessary evil. The comic is muted and allows us to see the violence for what it is: the gross intolerance of fascists, the ugliness of the bully made temporarily sympathetic by the cycle of violence that births them. When Hollis Mason is killed by the Knot-Tops, it's not supposed to be tragic. You're supposed to think
