Why do people pretend to dislike this?

Because Morrison should have written it for maximum seething from Moore.

>random errors
>computer code
Was there a reason they made his IQ room temp for this comic?

2DEEP4ME

Because the iq of the writer is room temperature and that of the readers is even less.

Why the fuck would a physicist use computer code as a metaphor? Does John think that just because Manhattan was a scientist he should know ALL science?

I've just read the first two issues, at the moment I don't dislike it, bit I'm still waiting on something big to happen. I think I'm going to read 1-6 now and 7-12 when the last two issues are finally out

Remember when Johns couldn't differentiate between eu and Nato earlier in the series.

>when the last two issues are finally out
Good luck, at this pace that won't be until 2022 and that's if you're lucky.

Because it's a shill war between the Didio loyalists and the Johns loyalists

DC deserves to fail

Yea Forums is a marvel board

Pretend?

>You

what about third parties? Not everything has to be bipartisan.

Some of the single issues are pretty good, but there's a lot of filler, shit no one cares about, and the pacings fucked. Also shirty recons. The Dr. Manhattan issue was kino though, but even then its just a homage to Watchmaker

Isn't that what Pax Americana is?

>pretend
No one is pretending, Johns.

I pretend to "dislike" it as a cover for my burning hate-filled rage toward it and what it represents - the death of author ownership, and the growing prevalence of corporate-owned ratshit works that have been demanded by talentless suits hoarding IPs ever since the fucking Mouse made public domain practically a thing of the past.

>Does Johns think

CEREAL LORD DID NOTHING WRONG

it’s boring

>hoarding IPs
No fair! They're only keeping the most popular comic book of all time in print to rob Alan of the rights he voluntarily signed away!

>pretend
lol

all those sugary breakfast treats have rotten his brain!

This user is absolutely right. Watchmen really needs to be left alone, it was a single standalone work that told a complete story. It was not meant to be a franchise let it rest and make something new.
This user is a pleb and a shill. Back in the 80s, capeshit wasn’t the IP farm it is today; most graphic novels of that type did eventually wane in popularity and go out of print. How was Moore supposed to know that DC would try and make watchmen into...this?

>Dont see the oppertunity to use Watchmen as a series of graphic novels
You are a brainlet. The problem isnt the franchise, but who writes it and what frequency they publish. Or how many the fans demands.
The problem is they want constantly print a story and not take time to write a coherent worthwhile story

Because Yea Forums only cares about something if it's canon. If it's non-canon, it's shitposted into oblivion.

People have convinced themselves Watchmen is an untouchable masterpiece instead of just an ambitious superhero comic.

They think adding to Watchmen is like trying to make a sequel to Citizen Kane, whereas in reality it's more like a sequel to a Clint Eastwood western.

>a dumb jock trying to write characters originally written by a crazy wizard man
it's like that time Guy Ritchie tried to make a movie about kaballah

Nah, it IS the Citizen Kane of comics
The philosophy of Moore was to use the medium the best he could, and the characterization goes beyond just some ambitious cape comic. All Star Superman is an ambitious cape comic, Watchmen is a legit masterpiece.

Or like someone write Batman: A killing Joke or Swampthing new story arc. Or take over Supreme.

People are dumb, tey cry one-shot instead of a good writer/artist should make it

Correct, The problem really is, the ladder is really high

I get why people hate it and the fact their still pumping out watchmen stuff rubs me the wrong way too, but i'm enjoying it so far and it could of been so much worse.

Johns is a bad writer, Gary Frank hasn't drawn anything fun in decades

But then not a lot of genre comics have been able to reach it's height. So, are the people wrong?

Its too long. Literally the complete opposite of Pax.

Why do people pretend to like this?

>nothing ever ends
>like this comic
whoa deep

You know Apocalypse Now? One of the greatest movies of all-time? Did you ever want a sequel to it? Yes?! Great news, it's getting a sequel, but that sequel will also be a crossover with James Bond, and the Fast and Furious series, because they're popular.

the show Now Apocalypse was a weird sequel to it

How long has it been since the last issue? What the fuck is going on?

The biggest problem that writers don't understand about watchmen, is that it wasn't about the setting, or the characters, or the story that made watchmen good, it was about the medium of comics and exploring what can be done with it that can't be done outside of comics. It wasn't a deconstruction, it wasn't a political statement of the times. It was all about comics and just that. The medium and the artform. The characters themselves were never meant to be explored any further, and there was never meant to be another story. It was a one and done thing. The only reason dc has been milking this recently is because normies think knowing about the watchmen will make them some super cool geek by title association alone. As for Geoff John's, he's not a good enough story teller or writer to understand this. His best work is just dumb super hero schlock and he needs to go back to that. That is where his true talent lies and he is one of the best. His comics are just dumb popcorn filler and I like that every now and then. I know I'll get shit for saying this, but he's still better than most writers at dc and he at least has a passion for the older characters like the justice society of America and I do enjoy his distaste for batman and how he makes him ineffectual in any big event dc has him forced into.

One of the biggest things people miss about Watchmen are the motifs and symbols in every chapter that BUILD on each other, until they collapse over the weight of everything by the end of the series. It's glorious, and none of the other Watchmen related material run with that.

That said, when re-reading the Watchmen, it doesn't start to get into brilliant material until Issue #3, when the world, comic, concepts, and art/writing techniques really begin to expand.

>IM A GENIUS POSTING ON Yea Forums WHY NOBODY HIRE ME IM BETTER THAN ALL!! IM A GENIUS!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE ALL OF THEM ARE IDIOTS IM A GENIUS!! FUCK JOHNS!!

The delays between issues make it difficult to stay invested. I think it's a fine suspense story, but got damn these delays are killing any momentum it might have.

I want to like it, but the constant delays make me hate it
