The comic still told its story through. The ambiguity was supposed to be a remark on the futility of it all, how "nothing ever really ends" and all that.

The show barely told a story at all apart from its skeevy woke undertones, and certainly not a story that will hold up for decades the way the original comic's will.
 
Is this one of the bigger wastes of potential in media history?

A high budget HBO miniseries that’s a faithful adaption of the comic could be amazing.

10 years was long enough after the movie to do it, instead they wasted it on this crap.
 
bye bye, you won't be missed, lol

It ended with an ambiguous ending, not really open. More like the ending of inception. Will it or won't it? Nothing broader than a 2-sided question. Though the person that can see the future has already even given an answer to that question.

Fucking GOOD. I'm glad.

Watchmen and I became well acquainted a little over a year ago when I read the comic for the first time. It was a religious experience with how much I loved it. With a shitty woke show only reaching one season due to a lack of anyone giving a shit, it preserves the dignity of the source material and leaves behind a legacy of why people should stop trying to adapt the un-adaptable.

Fuck Lindelof. No one should give that fucker a single story after what he did to Lost.

Lol big fucking surprise. Friend who likes this series marathoned Lost and was fucking slurping his cock over how amazing Lost is. I swear he can be a pretentious cunt. I'm sure he'll be disappointed to no longer have product to own the racist maga nazis.

Wow. I figured they'd finance at least 2-3 seasons so they could pretend it wasn't a massive failure, like CBS is doing with STD.

Not a chance. Discovery exists (or, at least, that was the idea) as the justification for and the face of CBS All Access, so they had no choice but to prop it up despite fans hating it. And they pre-funded the second season before the first was even out, so it's not just spite keeping it going.

HBO, on the other hand, can't afford to keep an expensive show going if it sucks and nobody is watching it.

So is Doomsday Clock worth reading? Is it done yet?
Presiona para expandir...

Its done, and its not really worth it unless you're a huge DC lore guy. There are some good single issues of Doomsday Clock, but they never merge into a satisfying and coherent narrative like the original Watchmen. Overall, it felt like a stealth Superman story. There's plenty there for people who like Superman and who are familiar with the various crises, but not much for those of us who just wanted a good standalone Watchmen story.

Ironic how the most recent notible HBO show that wasn't a disaster is Chernobyl
Presiona para expandir...

That's because they had no opportunity to inject Wokeness into it, other than that contained in the creator of the show's exceptional Twitter feed. (ie: the bad guys are actually Trump stand-ins, the Chernobyl disaster is a stand-in for Climate Change, etc...)

Some screenwriters have a strange ability to portray evenhanded truth (or something like it) on screen despite being so partisan they're almost mentally disabled. David Simon might be the ultimate example of this.

Are you talking about Craig Mazin? Nothing he could have said would surprise me after listening to dozens and dozens of hours of Scriptnotes.

I love how Lindelof’s excuse is that he told the story that he wanted to tell while the articles about the cancellation also mention how the season ended on a cliffhanger.
Presiona para expandir...

Its Lindelof, he's got some kind of phobia for shit that makes sense or cogent endings. I fully believe he'd write a script with an idiotic and meaningless cliffhanger and be smug about it like he's clowned Stockton on his own turf. I would seriously like to know how exactly this talentless fucklord keeps getting work and praise.
