![]() If you read his words and how he frequently complains about "women's breasts draped across every billboard," as well as "liberals," "whores," "homosexuals" and "intellectuals."It is very easy to see how what is effectively a manifesto by this guy could be read as a pro-conservative manifesto, or used to "redpill" people about race, particularly given that it was published with commentary by a right-wing talking head from the paper. The supplemental stuff on the website, particularly the bit on the journal puts it into context. I think there is definitely a connection, and it is not too far off, especially considering that his journal was published by the watchmen version of Breitbart/Infowars/(insert far-right rag here). I knew the general plot, and that people had Opinions about movie vs book, but had not read it all before. I'm reading the comic for the first time now, after having seen only the movie before and watching the show. The use of Rorschach as a symbol of white supremacist rebels is interesting. It’s also pretty bold to make a TELEVISION sequel to a COMIC because they’re two completely different mediums and that’s asking a lot from people. For those who just think Watchmen was a movie, they’re going to be confused about things as well because the movie changed the ending from the comic. For those who aren’t even aware of what Watchmen is, they’re going to think this is a stand alone show and not understand a lot of what’s happening because the background of this world is pretty important. It’s just called “Watchmen” like the comic and movie instead of being given a sequel esque title so if you’re not researching online you don’t know if it’s an adaption of the comic, a sequel to the comic, a sequel to the movie, or a retelling of the story-doesn’t help that Lindelof called it a “remix” when so far it just seems like a sequel to the comic. ![]() My one criticism is that the marketing was extremely confusing and to understand what this show even is you HAVE to dig around online for information which the casual viewer isn’t going to do.
