NFT: Watchmen on HBO

with the NFT part

I mean, the Giants are an NFT at this point

with the episode by episode breakdown I've been following for anyone who has been confused. Posted this in the last thread before it was deleted.


Watchmen Recap - ( New Window )

alan moore denounces everything though, even if it was good. its better if you don't like or understand the comic, like the writer.

thanks ..helpful because this is hard to follow and disjoint. Suspect it might not make it past S1 unless it was not intended.

remind me of some of the recent marvel movies tossing random bullshit in to cover someones tastes.. ie dude eating a can of beans last night watching 2 superheros (WTF). odd

I think the beans were a bit of a callback to Rorschach. The Looking Glass character mirrors him in several ways.

I never watched Lost but The Leftovers (another Damon Lindelof HBO show) was similar. It didn't seem like they had a plan after season 1 and he threw a lot of random stuff in there that was never explained/resolved.

And a direct tie in to the aftermath of the events of the original graphic novel.

According to Lindelof:

"‘I think there’s a fair amount of hubris in planning multiple seasons of a television show in this day and age’, Lindlof said. ‘Every single idea we had is represented in these nine episodes, there was no time where we were like, “Let’s save that for later.'"

So maybe we never get a second season. I'm enjoying this one. It's a chaotic mess but even as someone who has never read the comics, I'm enjoying the ride.

even if you don't watch the show.

I've read Watchmen probably four or five times. It's a classic, one of those comics that kind of transcends and redefines the medium (my opinion). Definitely worth the time.

The show is really starting to catch on. It has taken a few episodes to kind of get where they're at post-comics, catch on to who is who, and what is going on, but now that the foundation has been laid, I'm finding it very interesting to see what they're doing in the "post-squid attack" world. The most recent episode was a good one.
I like where they're going with it.

I'm really enjoying it, i'm wondering if they are going to bring in Dreiberg at some point. I'm sure Dr. Manhattan is going to appear eventually.

jeremy irons has long been a favorite of mine. He has some outrageous performances on his resume and he's killing it in this series.

My only exposure to Watchmen was the movie, but I’m strongly considering going and reading the comic after having watched this so far.
