To be fair, the biggest problem with the use of Hallelejuah in Watchman is WHEN it was used.

Yeah, it's such a loving cliche to use it for a sex scene, but didn't the original comic have the lyrics on the page for that same scene?

Edit: Oh and Rhyno, I was just trying to make a joke about it being me who punched you. though we've never actually met in real life.

Nah there's no implication of music for that scene in the comics. I always read it's use as a joke. I mean the scene has a punchline where the owl ship cums.

After Watchmen (the film) came out i complained about the terrible Hallelujah cover, only for it to be pointed out to me the movie featured Leonard Cohen's original version.

I could have sworn it was the John Cale version? (Which is the one everyone is covering. Yes even Buckley)

The soundtrack (per IMDB and wiki) says it's the Leonard Cohen version.

According to the soundtrack album, it was the original, which is bizarre to me, because it's like picking the Dylan version of All Along The Watchtower. Yes, it's the original, but it's not the version anyone thinks of.

Reminds me of the goons saying Yvonne Strahovski's Australian accent in one episode of Chuck sounded too fake.

Or the goons saying Chloe Frazer's Australian accent sounded too fake in Uncharted.

...maybe Australian goons just don't know what they sound like.

Yes, though Watchmen was before that of course.

It came up in interviews because he used it again in Justice League.

Its a show filled with CGI green monsters so I don't really have a problem with Titania being CGI too.

She was scrawny and let Doc Doom experiment on her to give her power to push back on people. That's her on the right.

As Country goes it's not bad, but that song with that mood feels like an energy vacuum. I'm waiting for something that doesn't come.

That version is alright, but what if that song was made in the eighties?

I can't see Jamil doing the same kind of body transformation, she's been pretty vocal about body positivity. Her getting a Buff Marvel Makeover would be extremely out of character. I figure they're just going to make her Super Strong with no overt muscularity.

I think one if the appeals from a production perspective is that a character like titania has super strength, one of the easiest and cheapest powers to do in terms of sfx, and not a weird power that would require a budget, like transforming and poo poo
