Watchmen kino

Why do people hate it?

Back to the shithole of Holla Forums

Aside form the cuck posting, Holla Forums is pretty great.


Same reason they hate the Star Wars Prequels, they're plebs who lack opinions of their own so they listen to pop culture critics and swallow whatever shit those losers tell them.

The fuck you talking about.
If cuck is 99% of the board I can't say is a good board.
Each time I want to talk about camera work, storytelling and such the shit derails into looking the racial origin of the actors by three generations to see if the movie is good.

Yeah, Holla Forums is great.

Like you're doing to this thread right now?

Sounds like fag talk tbh.

Yeah, see this guy mentions Holla Forums.
defends it, just by mentioning Holla Forums everything derails.

I know, but people who keep talking about it are part of the problem.
I know I'm a hypocrite, but seriously, stop

Because Watchmen was a significantly faithful adaptation of a comic.
That means it doesn't really hit the by-the-numbers script formula found in most movies that movie audiences have grown accustomed to.
It doesn't have the fake vagina alien or Black Freighter parts but still pretty damn faithful adaptation.
A movie audience wouldn't hate it as much if it was more like the abomination League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
They'd simply forget about it like any other number of movies trying to captivate shit-brained popcorn sucking retards.

Holla Forums is a more cucked board than Holla Forums though.

That's literally 90% of the posts, other 10% is this thread, "Is this kino?? xDDD".

Watchmen was a shitty film because it didn't capture the world Moore created accurately, and played it as Noir Superheroes, when it's supposed to be Stupidly Edgy Superheroes That Defy Every Other Superhero Standard.

The whole fucking book, down to the goddamn (and this gets quoted every time) panel layout. Those 3x3 panels are a fucking joke aimed at the origins of superheroes and comics in general.

I'm literally convinced Moore hates comics and makes his work to convince others, but people keep acting like his work is a massive allegory and he needs to be praised.


May of been faithful in story, but not in tone, and that's what killed it.


k fam tbqh

It's true though.

I hate it because it was a copy paste of the comic or did really try to be so. Instead of doing an adaptation.
Like with the Harry Potter movies, J. K. Rowling is a hack writer that got lucky and slightly better with practice as time went on, but with some actual directing At least in the first three movies due to the directors actually going to art schools the movies are way better than the books by leagues, especially by getting rid of info that isn't going to serve to the plot in any way.
In the same way the best part of the Watchmen movie is that 5 minute intro because it explains the world very well, gets rid off unimportant characters while not ignoring them and saves exposition and more blatant spoonfeeding.

>>>Holla Forums
Don't bring your shit here faggot, people like you caused that board to die and I won't let this one die.

What a cuck, I bet you think that the new marvel extened shitverse movies are good.

I don't recall how in original comic book, Adrians plan would just be on some computer, that Owlman and Rorshach accessing with password they guessed by looking at near by photograph, like in some b-movie. It's rather streamined adaptation tainted by Hack Snyders direction.

Fuck no, the things they adapt from are shit and then they don't respect the source material in any way, by giving a shit adaptation like mistaking character motivations, plot holes induced by not knowing what to cut, shit gimmick camera that doesn't focus in what's important.
If you want a panel by panel faithful adaptation you need a series.

Ebin troll, friendo :^)

And if we must:
Nah, top 20 threads right now are about comics and/or cartoons. I know it's a shock, but sometimes, a board has threads that relate to the board topic. Novel idea, right?
The threads about those shitty shows are usually drowned out by other shows, comics or events, and bumped from the dead by the same 3 idiots in the thread, while no one cares and hides/ignores the thread.
We bully MLPfags more than any board, because they ruined the fucking industry further catering cartoons to fedoras and Reddit.
Doesn't matter, if they're making OC and people enjoy it, what does it matter? I don't go in the thread, but you seem angry enough about the board to skulk it and find out about every poster.
See MLP. Reddit gets bullied. Whenever starts a shitty thread, I, if not beaten by another user, will quickly jump in to remind the OP to fuck off and adapt to the board culture.
Last Steven Universe thread is on page 6, which is fucking ages on a board as slow as this. The thread was also started even longer ago, and hasn't even hit bump limit.

Stay mad, and go post more shitty memes in Holla Forums.
Seriously, do you fuckers actually enjoy GoT and Westworld? Those are the only threads that don't get derailed, which tells me you're a bunch of filthy casuals, that come to le spoopy evil hacker site known as 8ch for memes.

Also, back on topic, kill yourself.

...

There is more black cock than on blacked.com

thanks to louis posting

I like it OP, not everyone here is a kneejerk contrarifag

Just a shit taste plebfag

Lynch yourself

Another thread derailed. Holla Forums and Holla Forums have to be the most shit boards on this site.

I was going to ask if there was every a "copy paste" adaptation of a comic that turned out well, but then I remembered The Maxx, so the answer is yes.


Isn't that how it happened in the comic? I can't even remember the scene in the movie.

There's also Star Trek threads, which usually withstand derailing because everyone's too busy posting Cardassians.

Whatever fags, I love this movie

Shills have an odd obsession with Holla Forums, or it could be hijinx going on an autistic fit again.

Well, yeah, but I actually like those threads and they don't support my argument :^)

Because we're like Switzerland, and tell both sides to fuck off so we can enjoy comfy comics?

Its really just one side that pretends to be both. Holla Forums really doesn't come here, there are people who enjoy Holla Forums jokes but they wouldn't be caught here shilling, especially when they're 3500 UIDs strong

It's because the modern masses don't understand metaphors/symbolism and hate not having closure - they think it's some "pretentious edginess" to have cliffhangers and shit.
What I'm hinting at is that a bunch of the cliffhangers in the watchmen are actually answered within the movie/comic books. For example, in the end, Adrian tries to kill John, while killing Bubastis in the process. John then proceeds to come back literally bigger. This is a metaphor that parallels Adrian's plan, with John representing the threat of nuclear war/any "world-ending" catastrophe, and Bubastis representing the people Adrian has to kill to "destroy" the catastrophe. However, John just comes back bigger (and badder), hinting at the fact that maybe Adrian's plan won't pan out in the canon happening after the advents of the comic book, and perhaps there will just be another threat to the world, meaning Adrian really accomplished nothing

It's bad because Zack Snyder tried to eat his cake and keep it by trying to adapt some parts of the comic faithfully while altering or omitting other parts as a concession to movie audiences, resulting in a pretty confused film. That the Squid was replaced with a flawed frame-up scheme just happens to be the tip of the iceberg.

Simply put, Snyder tried to make a dumbed down cape film out of a very unorthodox Whodunnit that happens to have capes in it.

You seem autistic enough to respond to every single greentext he made. Holla Forums truly is the worst board.

In fairness if you wanted to include the entirety of the book you'd run something like 10 hours long. So amputating the plot points surrounding the black freighter and the squid cuts it down in time and needs no other explanations as to why and how, though it DOES leave some character development unfulfilled.

Who's raiding us? I'm seeing this shit in a bunch of threads all at once, including namefags.

I think you'll find autism could be more closely linked to repetitive behaviour like, oh, I don't know…
Posting the same fucking template threads over and over again, sprinkled with interracial porn and failed comedians.

At the moment its probably Holla Forums, but we can't rule out the usual suspects like SA Goons, Holla Forums, freech or CTR. Plus Hijinx recently got rebanned so we have him to worry about. Just ignore, report and sage.

Too bad BO won't accept Vols for a while after that shitshow, he's not online 24/7, which means there's always 8 shitty threads a night, when I'm most active.

Oh he did, one of them turned out to be a shill and decided to nuke Holla Forums. It was fun. If you have a problem with it I suggest emailing the BO/ Beyonder and sharing your mind, he does actually read them.

Hence the words "after that shitshow
I emailed them, then never responded to the email. Maybe I'll send another.

Oh, and HighJinx wasn't a shill.
It was his business associates that were shills.

keep sending, worked for the OC thread to some degree


The less we say his name the better

I meant I sent an email for Vol, then chickened out when they asked, quite sensibly, for post history, and didn't want to be judged.

Anywho, enough spoilers, I always read them as whispers in my head, and I can't whisper over the sound of my music, however autistic that sounds.

Spoilers are for conversations unrelated to the current topic, but keeping emailing at least show your displeasure for Holla Forums's current state

That's some mighty powerful autism
