    This summarizes well


    Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) is not viewed as a villain at the end of the comic book; in the movie, he is. That's a significant departure. Let's ignore for a moment that the giant squid - which in the original pages of Watchmen targets New York, courtesy of Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias (Matthew Goode) himself - is nowhere to be found in the film version. Making Dr. Manhattan the bogeyman may ultimately unite the world against a common enemy, but in the movie, the common enemy becomes the vigilantes/superheroes/what have you, instead of a giant squid. So, the question at that point becomes what will the lives of the main characters in the story look like going forward? Probably not good, but there's no way to know. What's more, this ending paints the governments involved as innocent bystanders rather than the ones truly at fault for a world in chaos.”

    this is pointing out the differences between the film and book with the authors opinion on it.

    this isnt showing me numbers of ppl who hated it or had issues with reflecting on the movies ending

    There is no way to show you exact numbers many of the book readers liked it overall at times but felt the ending ruined the point

    and many readers enjoyed the ending and thought it was a great take on a classic that worked well for the big screen.

    Not even Batman killing so much as guns make it too easy . Hands is like at least he has to do it and physically see his kills is Martha moment . No one thinks he is good. We know heroes aren’t clean . Batman out here doing drone strikes

    This isn’t Alan Moore in movie form that he thinks it is .

  • Jan 15, 2022

    If Snyder vision was to be Alan moore in hero form Snyder Cut plot wouldn’t be what it is. Luthor already ozymandidas we know down to identifying the bullet

    We know

    Bvs is a poor man watchmen in many ways

    Movie ends and sequel opens with Superman blowing up a drone.

    Witness "who does superman answer to "

    Astrophysicist "why is he here"

    And then Martha Kent gives him a great set up.

    Clark: says nothing

    Like he really copy pasted watchmens theme , story characters onto these characters and mashed it with visual moments from the comics . Lex is ozymandidas .
