Incredibly sad that so many people in the imperial core can only learn about history when their superhero entertainment slop barely mentioned it. Watchmen had a scene showing the Tulsa massacre and millions of white people were like, "Wait, that happened?" I guess we need Spider Man 9 to have a scene detailing the Iran-Contra scandal for most people to realize that Reagan wasn't a great guy.
Watchmen the original comic is excellent. The movie was not as good. I never watched the series, I heard it had a disappointing ending.
Series kinda stumbled the landing but was great otherwise.
The book is about how superheroes are violent enforcers of the status quo. The movie was about how awesome it is that superheroes are violent enforcers of the status quo. Zack Snyder understands the aesthetics of comics but either doesn't understand or has active contempt for the message.
The ending wasn't great but it was a fun watch in general.
