this is going to be such a disaster and its going to be hilarious to watch it unfold

Fucking hell, is that supposed to be Rorschach?

Obviously it's an imposter, but hard to judge the new malsk based on that shitty pic

only shown returning character right now has been Ozymandias

>Some asshole on a clickbait website thinks he has a say on how to improve fucking Watchmen

I don't even like Watchmen that much, and it's pissing me off.

>How HBO's 'Watchmen' Can Avoid the Misogynistic Missteps of Its Past

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

Badass, redhead anti-hero. They're going to make Rorschach a nigger and he'll fuck Silk Spectre.

It takes place after so he isn't in it

>They're going to make Rorschach a nigger
already happened in the comics

it's literally a sheboon isn't it?

>unfilmable
>Zack Snyder did an almost 1/1 adaptation
are journalists really this fucking stupid?

>has been considered unfilmable
why is that, considering that there was literally a film made and it was extremely popular

You can't make Watchmen without the mysoggyknees, anti-fag, and anti-slut, themes.

It's ingrained into the story.

is he being played by jared taylor?

That’s Jeremy Irons retard

I killed millions to save billions of huwhites

>"how they can"
>thinks this means "they are"
Its just modern a journo doing the only thing they know, hate bait

>Damon Lindelof
I'd rather put my nuts in a vice then sit thru another one of his horrid TV Shows.

It really is amazing such an awful writer keeps getting work

Clearly only saved by circlejerking critics because audiences have rejected almost everything he's made with the exception of LOST.

Then the show is a nailed-on flop. Jeremy is one of my favourite actors, but fuck, he really picks some turkeys.

The movie was fantastic, my favourite capeshit along with V for Vendetta and Dark Knight.
Why remake it? Where's the need?
Also why's Rorschach got duct tape over his eyes?

What fucking misogynistic missteps? I’m so fucking tired of this shit.

will watch anything with jeremy irons even the dnd movie

He did The Leftovers as well tho

It's not a remake, it's set in the present

its the civic religion

Why do they keep pushing this shit

He's in some good 'uns, too. Maybe this will be a good 'un. Or maybe not.

>no not THAT kind of anti mysogynism
Lmao

>what if silk spectre instead of scant latex actually wore full body armour showing as much skin as Bin Laden's wife
>what if there were black people everywhere, just black people, everywhere

He got exploded, how else would they stick him back together

So what they are gonna do is they are gonna use the names of the characters and this is where the similarity stops

>what if there were black people everywhere, just black people, everywhere

I'm gonna rock your world perception but NYC is full of black people

We've reached the point in pop cultural production where we're just reproducing the 30-40 years preceding the mid 2010s, but with all the problematic bits cleaned out and new woke signalling. Or insisting that those problematic parts were in fact irony and subtle barbed commentary making fun of people who are racist or sex, and it was a masterful move by a genius director, author, musician that only well educated people would get to take money from dumb people who enjoyed the problematic parts. So even popular capeshit or Judd apatow movies from 2009 or 2010 are fit to be reexamined.

>t. have a super liberal white lab mate who loves capeshit and says he'd never show his kids Seth Rogen movies, Freaks & Geeks, or Friends because they're too white and have some jokes that "aren't funny, just mean", but goes on at length about how his favorite 80s movies and comedians were actually genius and handled sensitive racial or sex issues with genius irony

Yep

Angela Abraham: African-American female cop. Independent and intelligent, she’s also a realist. She’s married to Cal, with whom she has a daughter and is fiercely protective of them both.

Cal Abraham: African-American male who is the stay-at-home husband of Angela. While he seems at home as the king of his castle and being a loving husband and father, it’s clear his past has a different story to tell.

Looking Glass: A good looking cop, the native Oklahoman isn’t simple as his rural accent makes him appear to be. A top interrogator and behavioral scientist, he may also be a bit of a sociopath.

Panda: An ethnic desk cop, he’s cynical and tough and puts his job first. Not a friend to many, he uses comedy to keep people at bay.

Red Scare: Mafioso, track suit wearing cop. His Russian accent lends to his abrasiveness.

Pirate Jenny: An androgynous and lustful bisexual cop, Jenny is an anarchist at heart.

Jane Crawford: The wife of the police chief, Judd, Jane is a veterinarian who’s sharper than her guarded persona lets on.

Old Man: A former cop who is still an imposing figure despite his age.

Oh god these morons are going to base it on the movie ending instead of the comic ending aren't they.

This I’m from Red Hook and there were hardly any white people in NY before 1995 or so, just us goombahs

true detective destroyed any faith I had left in HBO, not looking forward to this at all.

its a timely story
we all know trump is a hair away from launching nukes at his best buddy putin, brave of HBO to remake this now and sends a powerful message

Yes, 30 years or so after the end despite claiming it's based off the comic itself.

How would that work? The Cold War setting of the original was integral to the story, Ozy's motivations and Manhattan's pretty much hinged on it.
A classic character being scraped off an icesheet decades later and ducttaped back together into a new woke form is a good metaphor for these shit remakes

Sounds "gritty" cringe and soi

so theres gonna be guaranteed a 3rd generation nightowl right

>What fucking misogynistic missteps?
If you have to ask then you're just part of the problem.

at least he's having fun

Friendly reminder Lost is pure kino

The whole Watchmen story started with cops dressing up to go vigilante

You can't back that up.

No, it is based on the comics
Literally all the leaks are about the squid monster

Attached: watchmen-set-photos-4[1].jpg (2172x2904, 486K)

not all characters are role models

The movie was garbage, and I love Alan Moore

>How would that work? The Cold War setting of the original was integral to the story, Ozy's motivations and Manhattan's pretty much hinged on it.
It's like a sequel
I guess they do a new generation of masked people in the aftermath of the squid event while tying it metaphorically to more modern events rather than the Cold War
It's not a terrible idea in theory, though most of the leaks so far don't seem very promising

>Hollis T. Mason was the first Nite Owl. At the age of 12, his father left the family farm in Montana and moved to New York City, working at Moe Vernon's Auto Repairs.

>Starting out as a New York City policeman in 1938, he was inspired by Action Comics' Superman and the real life exploits of Hooded Justice to take up the life of a vigilante. He was nicknamed "Nite Owl" for spending his evenings working out in the Police Gymnasiums as much as possible and going to bed at 9:00pm to rise for a 5:00am workout before donning his badge and uniform. His costume was designed to free his arms and legs while protecting his chest, abdomen and head with a tough leather tunic. With the tunic hiding his hair, a domino mask concealed his identity.

There's literally a pic of him in action in the first excerpt. Certainly going the Doomsday Clock route

Yeah, that's one of them.
How do you figure the whole Watchmen story started with Nite Owl?

>MAN: It all started with the gangs. You know, people tend to forget that.

>Pirate outfits, ghosts.

>They thought it was funny: dress up and pull heists.

>[MAN CHUCKLES]

>As soon as we'd arrest them, they'd be back on the street.

>Nobody could pick them out of a lineup because of the damn masks.

>So a few of us cops, we get together...

>...and we figure, what the heck, we'll mask up, too.

Second, maybe third scene in the film

how was it mysoggynistick in the first place?

The movie was Kino, and Alan Moore is a genius

Watch it, HBO.

this isn't a direct adaption of Watchmen, nor is it a sequel. It borrows ideas of the novel and plans to put them in a contemporary setting. Dont expect the comic story guys, just saying.

Journalists don't like Snyder because he's kino and also conservative and christian

muh aliens actually you're right, but the new end was more adapted to the ciném medium: it's shit because the cinematography was absolutely hammy and retarded

women were useless or raped

that cute chick in the latex get-up beat the shit out of all those prisoners. I thought she was ok

Movie?
Who's talking about the movie. It was garbage.
