Idea & Info: 'Watchmen - The Graphic Novel Cut'...

" I didn't expect to see one new post here"

easily the stupidest thing I´ve heard in a week or even a month, what the fuck are you doing in an online forum?!

 

"realize that the movie is actually a very faithful adaptation and easily the best adaptation of any of Moore's work"

yeah I´m sure Moore agrees with that

 

you whiners are more ridiculous than Transformer 2 fanboys

lol don´t mention the new Star Dreck to me *puke*, and lord of the rings... well some changes make sense but most are superfluous or even stupid (e.g. Eowyn vs the Witch King makes no sense whatsoever without the underlying prophecy which is NOT in the movie, but that´s a different discussion)

"Also, I'm still waiting for how you could possibly have thought that Doc Manhattan was in on Veidt's plan."

for this I would have to watch the movie again, and I´m doing that only once more, namely when the final cut is released, and then also probably this here edit

maybe he isn´t, but that wouldn´t change much

yeah, and they didn´t use cgi last time I looked, I know that the mask changes, but it should be more subtle

Manhattan leaves in a way that leaves even Veidt puzzled "Nothing ever ends" - completely missing from the movie

whatever, either you get what authenticity to source material means or you don´t - pointless to argue any more

the Simpsons were dead on with their Watchman Babies joke (google it)

in the comic Veidt played everybody, including all-powerful Manhattan, which is an ending the reader would not likely forsee (I sure didn´t)

also the way Manhattan leaves Earth is so much more interesting and meaningful

 

yes he is responsible

wikipedia:

"He explains that his plan is to unify the United States and Soviet Union and prevent nuclear war by destroying the world's main cities with exploding energy reactors he had Doctor Manhattan create for him under the pretense of providing free energy for the world. "

(although I can not remember this happening in the movie, DC only?)

which means Manhattan likely is in on the plan

 

and if this isn´t significant, what is?! Han shooting first? The force not being a biological phenomenon? I don´t think so!

with some creative editing it might ;-)

because Moore wrote it that way - blaming Manhattan screws up several characters AND the whole story completely, and as long as that idiocy stays this movie will always be a 1/10 for me

even though the squid thing is possibly a weak point of the graphic novel, but any other solution would be an improvement to Snyder´s ending (even a simple insert saying "missing reel" or "missing CGI effect"!)
