Watchmen Episode 1 - It's Garbage 

I knew it!

_"Fans: slap forehead"_ Twitter: "OMG! This is amaze-balls! Old white men definitely need not see this movie!"

in current date i would not be choked if they did it... a Great White only going for colored and gays :P

And the main character will be a female who overpowers the shark each time it would attack her Why you ask? Well because females are the stronger gender of course

The Witcher comes to mind

It was at this exact moment when I gave this video the thumbs up. The rest is icing on the SJW cake.

@Charlie Pendergast Yeah I never liked SVU. The original Law and Order series was my all time favorite tv show, and it infuriates me that SVU ended up getting more seasons then it did.

@@seanhoogland1938 I think that one was actually Cultural Suicide Squad.

The Democrats are already working to make that a reality and not just a show, just like they've done before.

Too late it's already in production

The characters get way more fleshed out and I think the first episode still does a lot to establish them.

I fail to see any supper heroes.

And female with true, strong character 😁

I think it was done pretty well given the source material is so dense and rich. It's gotta be tough to adapt that fantastic graphic novel into a two hour movie.

only piece of HW trash I ever walked out on and I endured the whole Titanic

@@stephenturner757 i watched the ultimate cut and i gotta say that it takes almost everything from the comic. The only important thing they missed is Ozymandias'' backstory at the end

100% agree 👍

Love it. Every minute.

Homer id be REALLY appreciative if you manage to kill some people on your way out. Take care.

Get out!

@john maziasz FAWKIN HOMERUN CHIPPAH!

SoooRite! ;D

Apex dad joke.

The thing is, I think there are plenty of good storylines in a random stormtrooper and a woman with a stick. How did he become a stormtrooper? How does the First Order treat them? Why don't these people choose to work with the established government (this time not named Rebels)? How has this girl survived on a planet seemingly ran by Java the Hutt type beings? How much trust would this girl have on this planet? How would she treat strangers? There are plenty of plot lines they could have had. They simply chose to not have any.

@@preddyshite6342 yep but there was a thing called character development back in the days. It does matter.

@@etienne8110 The thing about character development is it's the most fictitious thing in fiction. Some stories are less about an overall growth arc and more about a character as they are facing particular circumstances. Not every situation changes a person dramatically, and not all characters have to be irredeemable just to be redeemed in the final act. it's almost amusing that media has become so formulaic that it's so offensive to deviate from it. Even thinking about Rey and her Mary Sue-ness, it's insane to think that revealing her parents would somehow explain why she's such a badass, like that would explain why they were badasses, or why Anakin was a badass. Thinking about it, writing has encountered something like an uncanny valley, except because it isn't purely visual like CG that gets easily out-dated, tropes are more readily accepted and imitated in real life rather than critiqued. Media is a large part of entertainment and will never be more than that, no matter how well one in every 1000 stories integrates real world issues into their narratives.

@@DS94everXev Bruh... As much as I joined in the communal defecation on the new trilogy, they literally answered all those questions. Honestly the most useless part of it, Fin and whats her faces trip to the casino planet was the most illuminating part of the whole Star Wars lore for me because I always assumed they used slave labor and just owned all the resources needed to build those ridiculous sized ships and fleet. Further, I prefer movies like Solo and Rogue which don't really focus on Jedi or Sith. I think once they tried to integrate some rando into the legacy, it was doomed to fail. They glossed over Luke rebuilding the Jedi academy and that's probably the only thing I wanted to see explored after Return of the Jedi.

@@preddyshite6342 They never answered any of those things beyond maybe a line. They never showed us life as that person. And I do want to know how life is like for a common stormtrooper it poverty striken gurl in useless planet in the Star Wars universe. While Luke was off saving the galaxy, what impact does that have on citizens? We never saw Finn explain why he was fine killing his friends when his friend is the one that died that turned him around. That is a worthy story.

I agree. Nice, concise comment and, in my view, objectively right.

@@georgecaplin9075 "in my view, objectively right" is a bit contradictory don't you think?

They're not afraid of asking questions, they simply don't WANT to ask any. And why would they? They're paid to promote an agenda with their products, Why would they risk having peoples considers differents opinions when they're paid to keep promoting the same ones already in place?

​@@Rise65487if their agenda is bringing to light atrocities of the past that were unknown to the public, well good for them.

I can't tell if that last sentence was a joke or just unfortunate.

I still like that show. It didn't finish as strong but it was still great

Lost was the first show I ever watched and completed , not the best show now that I look back on it but it was cool and suspenseful

It’s too bad the ending episodes didn’t provide any revelations of the plot points. The series was just mystery piled upon more mysteries, and in the end they answered very few.

I'm sure the anarchist who wrote Rorschach as a satire of objectivists would be completely against left-wing politics in watchmen, right guys? :-D

natorious76 Yes. Or just publish it themselves - more control that way.

Agree. But if you didn't watch the this show...correct that. I like the drinker. But he was wrong about this . It was a masterpiece

@Tanuki Joshua Grahamyou're entitled to your opiinion

The movie misses the point a few time but honestly I wouldn't have even hoped for a such an accurate adaptation and overall they did a good job and the ending was pretty good

Many people that hate it wanted another generic pile of crap but got something better. So the dumbest of those types were angry and confused. Also many things were changed for time and story coherence in that said time frame. But purists will always get angry about any changes (good or bad) but you domt have to be a purist to hate the Watchman show... it was so obviously trying to over correct for something racist it's creators did at some point. "Let's just give God like powers to a random woman and kill off Dr. Manhatten.

The movie is quite a good adaptation, the show is woke trash. It has some glimpses, but in the end, it's about black/female empowerment and white people being 💩, that's all folks.

IMDb uses 100k reviews. Rotten tomatoes is useless. Just because u didn’t like it doesn’t mean the vast majority did.

I refuse to believe it is a coincidence but instead another example of the far lefts inability to create something new.

Thank you.

Fortunately, I believe the show goes on to address the end of racial divisions a lot more nuanced than this, where turmoil is mounting not just because of white supremacists but also because of massive egos of people of a variety of races and backgrounds. A difficult message it still DOES have is that you can't end racial divisions by just telling everyone to forget about them. Don't take your view on this show, let alone the discussions around racial divisions, from this video's rant about the first episode based on a universe created in one of the most multilayered and carefully crafted comic series ever. I'd say HBO does Alan Moore's creations JUSTICE (lol). Edit: here's a great explainer of the whole show! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cl3izXcp86w.html

It was only one group of people who killed all those black people in Tulsa. Denial of the past doesnt end division, it only further supports it.

@@maskon1724 "It was only one group of people who killed all those black people in Tulsa" If you judge an entire race of people by the actions of a few of them you are no better than those you are attempting to judge. And then to hold others of the same race responsible decades or even centuries later is even more unjust and reprehensible.

@@DrunkenAussie76 I never judged an entire race, just pointed out historical facts of the time in which the show discusses. I will not forget nor forgive the role of those white peoples who participated in deplorable racists acts of America’s past that still live on in violent, economic and privileged ways(which is discussed in the show if u had watched it). Btw, u are the definition of “white fragility”, anytime truthful American white history gets brought up, there’s always one white boy who takes it oddly personal. Paranoid?

@@maskon1724 "I never judged an entire race" It was heavily implied by your initial comment, and confirmed with this gem; "Btw, u are the definition of “white fragility" You have no idea what race I am, just as I have no idea of your race... "I will not forget nor forgive the role of those white peoples who participated in deplorable racists acts of America’s past" What about the horrific acts of any other races in Americas past? Let me guess they don't count because power + privilege or some other racist platitude right?

@@metalliclark86 Riight. It wasn;t cancelled simply because the creators had told their story, now, wazzit*?

@@MothraBlues Except none of it is based on opinion, it's based on the ratings, which you admit in the very first sentence you "don't care about." Lmao. That's about as far from intellectual as you can get. "I don't care that the show was cancelled because the ratings sucked. I wouldn't know because I live in my own little bubble which consists of only caring about information that validates how I feel." Does that sound about right? Typical leftist. You pretend you are enlightened but only when you close your eyes and ignore anything that might contradict your world view. It's great that you enjoyed the show, more power to you, but it was cancelled because most people thought it was woke trash and they couldn't financially justify a season 2.

Except for the fact it has Dr Manhattan, Ozymandias and Silk Spectre in it, and the giant alien squid monster being teleported into New York at the end of the original story is a major part of the plot.

Rorschach wasn´t a good person tho

That’s false. The whole squid thing, the whole Ozymandias plan, the New Frontiersman and alt right as*holes? None of that means nothing to you?

Why he was written as an extreme far-right character? The New Frontiersman was his favorite magazine and the excerpt that Alan Moore features in the novel defends the actions of the KKK. He also calls a Mexican woman a welfare cheat.

@@@Mr_Bones. Amen! Collectivism is just not good for producing stories. Black people = innocent victims who can do no wrong. White people = Evil racist oppressors, unless they prostrate and debase themselves every day. And this is I guess fine. Primitive, but fine. It at least contains a small kernel of truth, historically speaking and for the last 500 years. The real problem is that neither group can manifest any other qualities than the two they have been assigned by the collectivist borg. If you are black you are now an innocent victim, period. No complex emotions, personality or thoughts wanted or required, thank you! Not even positive qualities really, since they might distract from the political message you've been tasked with broadcasting with your black skin. And the same for white people. Evil racist moron oppressor or GTFO! Obviously this is a lot easier, since you can just pile on the negative traits to your heart's content. The audience will leave hating white people anyway. Or at least the idiotic part of the audience. I hate collectivism and don't understand why everyone else doesn't hate it too. I will like and dislike exactly who I choose, regardless of their skin or genitals. A black man behaves like an ass I will dislike him. A woman behaves like an ass I will dislike her. A white man behaves well I will like him. I don't give a flying shit about people's skin or genitals, just their individual quality. the Obama-inspired idea that political leaders "represent" us is absurd. I'm white. And I have never felt represented by a politician, because all they do is lie. I hated Bush, I hate Turmp. Both are completely incompetent. But I also hate Obama, and consider him the biggest political fraud since Teddy Roosevelt. Why should black people feel represented by a political fraud just because of his skin color? It\s insulting to black people. The uncomfortable truth here is that many Jews love collectivism, and they always have. it's their culture really. Jews are always right, goys are always wrong. That is the traditional Jewish ethos. So obviously it's going to apply to everyone else as well when Jews take over a place like Hollywood, which they have. It was inevitable really.

Z1BABOUINOS I concur, ImdB is all that I check out

I saw a 2017 article saying IMDB & Rotten Tomatoes should be ignored as the majority of reviews were by men & they were therefore skewed to male tastes. Had they said that women should take these reviews with a pinch of salt as they tend to have a male bias I would probably have nodded 'Fair point' but the soyboy who wrote the article was seriously saying that EVERYONE should ignore them. While individual reviews can be very subjective, I find IMDB a very good guide on whether or not to watch a film or series based on hundreds or even thousands of reviews averaged out. I trust reviewers such as our pal the Drinker even more & this does indeed sound like a pile of steaming shite which is best avoided.

I have no idea why people shit on Zack Snyder. Watchmen was the best adaptation we could hope for and BvS, despite third act issues and shoehorning in Doomsday and Superman's death, is the best popular comic book movie imo.

When James Cameron, Scott Derrickson, Darren Aronofsky and Christopher Fuckin Nolan praise Zack Snyder's Watchmen, anything fuckboys, cineblend, Screen Rant, Comicbook. Com, John Campea, Robert Stroms or the fat fuck of Jodys Corner, anything they say about Zack Snyder is completely irrelevant.

@@Flayne009 i agree about watchmen, there's simply no way you could perfectly adapt the comics to the big screen (which is why the original writer didn't want it done), however, i disagree about BvS. That was bad. He went stomping all over basic character motivations (i.e. having batman kill people). If you want to see a version of BvS that actually does the job, watch the animated movie the dark knight returns. that was great, because they had the 2 fight, but they were fighting because they had to to protect what they believed in, not just for some stupid hostage situation.

@@tjfrye11 I understand Batman's no kill policy is key to his character but I wasn't going to let that ruin the movie for me. I'll just pretend this is Earth 2 or something.

It was ahead of its time. 2009 was still fresh in a way to the superhero movie genre. (Considering Iron Man was 2008) If Watchmen came out today it would be praised more. The movie is one of my favs.

@Jackie Corpron It adapted perfectly the surface and esthetics but missed the deeper themes. People don't hate it, they were just dissapointed (although the opening sequence was glorious)

@@withnail-and-i i agree. That opening sequence was glorious.

I never read the comics. The movie is one of my favorites, though. I am willing to bet that I'd enjoy the comics, too.

I read the comics and I always said to people that Zack probably made the best version of it (besides the version never made by Gilliam but thats in the realm of "what if"). To condense so much material and still be an actual movie movie is a feat on its own, I truly believe that at the time he was the best director for it, plus the man lives and breathes comic books so he tried to respect the source up to maximum.

@@velvet3484 isn't batwoman gay in the comics? Edit: Yeah she's a Jewish lesbian.

@@justifano7046 it doesn't matter if she's gay. Most people don't care if a character is gay, and batwoman is gay in the comics. The issue is when the gay female character keeps going on about how gay and female they are. A prime example is in the batwoman trailer itself, the song in the background literally says 'I'm a woman, here I come'. How cringey would it be if I made a trailer with a song that said 'I'm a man, here I come.' ? It just wouldn't happen, because being that other 50% of the population doesn't make you special either. She also says that the bat suit will be perfect when it fits a woman. Now, personally I haven't watched the show, but the trailer left such a bad impression on me I don't think I ever would. You can tackle themes that involve gender or sexuality in a mature way, but the whole 'I'm a woman hear me roar!' Trope is very overplayed and quite frankly boring now. It was fun and interesting when movies like Charlie's angels were introduced, but it has lost any sense of originality it once had. I think the problem people who are against the politicization of media run into is that it's very easy to straw man them into looking like racists, sexists or homophobes, and it's also that racists, homophobes and sexists are also against social justice messaging, so it's ultimately easy for people who dislike political media to get lumped in with people who are genuinely bigoted.

Your Weird JJ

Same here. Drinker is trippin'.

he’s talking about the first episode, not the whole show

@@duyvo9148 I doubt it. It really wasn't that bad.

It was really good by the end and soundtrack on its own. First episode I guess go with it. Also I was intoxicated when I watched this the first time.

Ruined it like they do to everything that's cool.

turned it white supremacist.

Did it have eye holes? Was there a scene with eye holes in It? Maybe I'm drunk of fumes or something?

@Spider-Venom and there was me already to sober up and watch it again... ffs!!

Was the new predator movie really that bad?

@@pbradics3670 You not wrong there. I'm just glad it wasn't be in the identity politics kind of way. I might be misremembering it but I remember the CGI being pretty good.

@@pbradics3670 No denying that. When I saw the new terminator trailers and the independent reviews on them. First thing I did was revisit the golden era of Terminator 1 & 2.

It's like the entertainment industry WANTS to go bankrupt. And they wanna go out with a BANG !

They're only trashed if you allow them to be trashed in your heart.

It doesn't? What about it doesn't have to do with watchmen?

@@justifano7046 More importantly: what does? Except for the name, what does it have to do with Watchmen?

@@urbanberndtsson A heavily political take of real world tensions with a hint of supernatural/unrealism. It's an alternate universe take on the world we live in today. One that exists in the aftermath of the watchmen graphic novel. So again I ask, how's it not watchmen? Because there's no guys in capes?

@@justifano7046 There's a heavy political take for sure, but (for the first episode at least) nothing supernatural aside from the squidrain, and that wasn't even talked about. Alternate universe? check. Nothing exclusive to Watchmen though. And yes, they claim it's the aftermath of the novel, but the only one from there is Veidt and he has yet to do anything. How is it not watchmen? Well, there's no relation in the themes, at least from the first episode. "Who watches the watchers", it's about how people react to those "guys in capes" you seemingly waved off as silly. As Drinker put it, it's a political drama with the Watchmen name slapped on it.

@@urbanberndtsson It's not a copy and paste of the exact same themes, but the overrall theme(alternate universe take on real world tensions) is the same. If they just copy and pasted the Vietnam War into 2019 that wouldn't make sense. If they just copy and pasted someone getting raped, it'd be an issue. While it hasn't been blatantly stated, the "who watches the watchers" could be an even stronger influence here. Ie who polices the police? They wear masks, and can do pretty much whatever they want(when the black chick assaults that guy in the bathroom) With 0 consequences. Just because no one has written on a brick wall "who polices the police" doesn't mean the theme doesn't exist. Things like that are better shown not told

Well stated.

I had the same feeling with season 11 of Doctor Who. I left too.

I recently re-watched The Mighty Boosh :-)

Right on. I'm brown, and this show is not only anti-white. It's anti-American. The people who have the American flag are shown in a trailer park ghetto. During the pod interrogation scene the American flag is shown on the wall immediately following a nazi flag. Obviously for subliminal association to influence the less intelligent. The black people are great, friendly, pillars of the community. I wonder why black politicians don't live in black neighborhoods. Skin color does not matter. In the end, each individual needs to be judged on their own merit.

Yes. I didn't say I was white either and I don't want to make this into a black vs white thing. It's far more disturbing than that. With whom does anyone come together in a show like that, other fans who are really into it, a shared set of … if not values, then at least hope that something good might come of this? Whatever that party is they're having there, it was actively designed to not welcome me as a guest.

I love The Boys but it honestly doesn’t have nearly the atmosphere or depth of themes as Watchmen. Feels more like a parody of Superhero comics than a deconstruction as it ends up sharing a lot of the same tropes. The characters do pretty dumb stuff all the time without consequences when they should realistically be dead.

@@LawsofPaul You're both wrong imho, the TV Show The Boys is garbage in comparison to the Comic. Both Comics are, wait for it..., legendary. They share just a couple of plot points, Superheroes, Revenge (The Boys more than Watchmen), Morale Ambiguity, Romance, Friendship, World Crisis, Problems of how to deal with Superpowers. The Boys deals with it more on the humorous side, more degeneracy, more brutality, but is in the end a kind of Revenge Saga, the Watchmen deals with it more on the philosophical Side, more like an Homage to thousands of years of questions we as Humans tend to have on life and society in general. Both ends are genius-like imho, but kind of sad and realistic, of course in their own way and world. The Boys as TV Show already can't end like the Comic anymore, the Revenge Butcher wants, is made obsolete, which is kind of strange, because it is the core of the Story, that's why its garbage for me, many actions of the Main Characters don't make sense anymore...

@@matthiasblum6555 The boys comic is literally just edgy and cringe

Honestly Watchmen (movie) is the best adaptation. I think it's not meant to be a series bc it doesn't have that many material

@@matthiasblum6555 cringe comic fanboy

1984 at its finest

This so much

Ozymandias was convincing and his idea made sense to a certain extent. This, not so much.

True true true

Say no more!

of course

Not as dead as good ol' Judd.

I will bet real money they do this in my lifespan.

the non-binary protagonist would be of mix race - as the mother would have been a WOC. So, not only does she struggle against the patriarchy and rape culture, but also find it increasingly difficult to exist in a racist white society that does not accept her because of her 'ethnic' looks. At some point she goes out to get a drink of chocolate milk.

Will they still be drinking milk? Because milk is white and therefore racist.

@@remc0s - prepared for that contingency - hence the _chocolate_ milk reference above.

@@mambi74 I hadn't read your comment yet. I just reacted to the OP.

same goes for JJ Abrams

The Leftovers was actually great writing. But yeah this is trash

@@kratostwin20 I couldn't watch that shit show either.

The Problem with Man United's back 4: Victor Lindelof

Kevin Fritz knows

If you are pushing the _money's narrative_ hard enough, you can fail up.

Befuddled... perplexed...you name it...

Albert Romanov because he’s an extremely talented writer, watch the Leftovers.

The connection to JJ.

>Checks wikipedia, early life... every damn time

😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Understanding the source material has become a detriment to your career prospects. If you're smart enough to understand it, you won't pander to make politics happy.

It's all, 'white man bad'. Failing to mention all the luxuries they enjoy, like clean water, electricity, edible food, phones, computers, clothing, hot and cold water, air conditioning, cars, planes, stereos, education, and a myriad of other things they wouldn't otherwise have.

cletos normally I’d agree but you’re missing out on this one. This video didn’t age well; watchmen was fantastic by the 6th episode

Yup

Eh. There's plenty of movies about Pearl Harbor, movies about the Japanese vs the Chinese in World War 2, 300 was about Middle Easterners attacking Europeans, but comicfied.. This happens to a show where white Americans terrorized Black Americans (but comicfied), which was a common occurrence in the US. It's not racebaiting you just don't like the reality of the narrative.

@@michaelmura9552 Your argument would be valid if not by the fact i don't like any of the things you listed either. Fuck racebait series and movies. Never liked them. The fact they're Pretty common don't make them any less apelative or cheap.

@@michaelmura9552 So pearl harbor, WWII and 300 were movies about racism??? Oh no, they were movies about historical struggles between opposing countries. It takes a racist to do what you just did. Also, you left out the one war that could possibly be all about race and thats if you ignore all the other politics involved. But yeah, orange man bad or something

it’s really weird seeing this message over and over, like it’s apologising for whites being basically the driving force of civilisation (besides the asians, they were pretty good, especially the Japanese)

Reality seen from the eyes of a white liberal.

"alternate reality" I like how somewhere in your mind, that was an actual opinion

@bigbenhoward Same bed; can't disown them now! Left = wrong.

Which ethnic group runs Hollywood and what’s their agenda?

@@anathema2me4EVR Leprechauns, and they're after your pot of gold.

I'm more fond of the "pilot" metaphor: "I'm not a pilot. The closest I've even gotten to flying is in videogames. But if I see a plane crash, I don't have to be a pilot to realize someone messed up somewhere!"

Nice try. The correct answer is you don't need to be a Michelin star chef to know when your plate is a pile of shit.

good analogy

you tried. and you deserve a medal for that.

Sigh, another simple sheep bleating words after the rest of the herd.

The comic was always woke

Who woke the wokemen?
