The Dr M glow in the movie was better than the glow the show used. The blue skin tone looks alright cuz it's just blue paint on his body, not vfx

Farm Frenzy posted:she has like five extensive monologues and never mentions imperialism given that the only thing the show itself has to say about American imperialism is "people that strike out against our occupying forces deserve to be put down like rabid dogs", is that really surprising?

I've been mulling it over, and while I still like the show, the dr. Manhattan plot was a lot less interesting than where the story waa going before that.

The show really needed to find other loving songs though, it feels like every oldie or orchestral piece they used has already been done to death in a bunch of other media. Other songs exist.

I like my stories sou vide Aside from the Verdi music on Europa, the non-original music didn't seem cliche to me? 'Set the world on fire' I've never heard outside of Fallout, and it's a great song for storytelling given the juxtaposition of dreamy calm 40s big band ballad against its hyper violent lyrics.

But he was listing books that have been well-known and commonly read over a long time. Of course that list would overlap with books that Americans tend to read in school. He's saying the original Watchmen should be one of those books everyone reads in high school.

I don’t think they go this way, but between Trieu’s mother/daughter, nostalgia pills*, cloning and fastgrowth technology, the technology exists for Angela to just re-create Dr. Manhattan. *assuming, of course that future memories are nostalgia-able.

Holy poo poo. I didn't know this show was a thing that happened until last week when I saw this thread title and did a search to see what was up. I'm so sorry I avoided spoilers. It kinda blows my mind that it managed start out as one of the more compelling adult-ish oriented sci-fi things I've seen in a long time, and then for the last two episodes it became an exercise in watching Damon Lindelof once again getting fifteen feet from the finish line and then slow motion falling face first into a massive pile of dog poo poo. I would have at least had some respect for the show if it ended with a six minute episode seven that opened with redneck cop boinking Ozymandias over the head with a wrench and then a jump cut to that Rick Astley video. HBO really needs to reimburse me for those nine hours they stole.
