Cmon, really? This is HBO, you know that it is going to be the evil conservatives against the SJW types. Is it even a question. This is going to be an abomination.

Everyone should hate Damon Lindelof because magic doesn't explain everything (L O S T) and abusing elder people is bad (Prometheus).
On the other hand, he did The Leftovers, which is a solid, good TV show. Maybe he'll redeem himself with Watchmen.

Yeah.. this is HBO.. the network that brought you the wire, game of thrones, sopranos, six feet under, etc etc

Lost was network television, surprised he did as well as he did.

Yeah. Character studies and information about this came around forever ago... not even good social commentary. Straight up SJW-Modern-Liberal injected cancer.

I'd bet on it. They are going to make exactly the wrong point with the writing compared to the graphic novel. This is a very safe bet and if I cared enough to have a avatar I'd bet it.

So what exactly is the point of this show? I love the movie but don't see the point of this other than HBO making another show based on a known brand.

Watchmen was a great movie and very true to the source material. Even the end with Doctor Manhattan abandoning humanity and the galaxy, Ozymandias' plan working and Rohrschach's Journal out there to tell the truth is a decent setup into exploring more in a world with psychotic superheroes.

However... I just don't see them not totally fucking this up.

Well.. his Journal exposes the psychotic nature of superheroes. And then society has to handle that. The government tries to step in to regulate this. We already have this show in production, it's called "The Boys".

That makes two Super Hero based shows that appear to be worth watching. Looking forward to them.

Hmm interesting. I wonder if the raining squid is just a fanservice easter egg, or if they're actually going the comic route.

Damon Lindelof Declares HBO's Watchmen Series Is About "White Supremacy"

Executive Producer, writer, and showrunner for HBO's upcoming Watchmen series Damon Lindelof declared the series is about "white supremacy."

I really liked the watchmen movie (other than the ending) and was exciting to see the series. Until, you know, I found out that Lindelof decided to skull-fuck the property to make it about something almost completely unrelated to anything addressed in the original continuity. Bat Man is a socialist air conditioner repair man, James Bond is now a baker who moonlights as birthday party strip dancer, Spiderman is now about Peter Parker, costumed bodaga owner with the backdrop of the cut-throat competition between convenience stores in Queens and Watchmen is now about White Supremacy, all in the same continuity. Totally fuck this guy.

Fuck no. It's like there's some sort of competition going on between Watchmen and Witcher to see which group of woke assholes can take the biggest, steamiest shit on an IP and its fanbase.
