Just finished reading The Watchmen

I haven't read Watchmen but every time I see a trailer or teaser for this thing I can honestly say I'm not getting any more interested in it. Aren't trailers supposed to generate enough hype to get people interested? :hrm:

The ending is a little bit hasty in the watchmen, and always irratated me a little bit. Not b/c I didn't agree with the choice, but rather b/c it comes off a little unrealistic and hasty relative to the rest of the graphic novel.

That somewhat bugged me too. Not so much what happens, but how it happens.

Ya, instead of a giant squid thing they just cut to the entire cloverfield movie. and when that's over they cut back

there were nuggets that you eventually realize explain how it would happen, but the what seems completely random and seperate from the tone of the rest of the series

edit: I tried reading a Watchman thread on SA figuring that there would be a lot of cool information with such an impressive quorum of nerds assembled. Someone knocked the meta-comic that shows up in every chapter or 2 and the rest of the thread was 'you didn't get, man.'

I got it, but that was still dumb. I got annoyed when I flipped the page only to find out the cool story had to take a break for some emo sailor.

A great trailer would be to scan of a theater full of popcorn eating nerds with shocked expressions on their faces.

Then the hook: "Who watches the Watchmen?"
