Source material is nothing like Watchmen.

I didn't say it was but looking at the trailer it looks like they copied the film.

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 6 years ago

Yeah you did.

Im speaking of the tv series trailer, not its source.

[–] JimmyStrudel (600) 6 years ago

And the TV show is based on the source material. It’s not that hard to follow this train of thought.

Five episodes in and its nothing whatsoever like Watchmen. For starters, it's really good, so that's a major difference. Also, the story is completely different.

How is this like Watchmen?

It's from the same creative minds that brought us the "Preacher" TV series, so it's probably a promise of frustration and disappointment.

Preacher pilot was amazing and then it was all down hill from there.

Holy moly, did you watch "Future Man" yet?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I think I'll pass on that one )
'The Boys' turned out to be great though. Rumour has it seth rogen was benched.

I'm definitely expecting a frustrating product that devolves into shock content without the weight of good storytelling to make such scenes resonate.
