Seriously, though.
Why was Jon such a dick?
>>82914050
The man could not muster up a single fuck to give.
He didn't care anymore, which the comic and the movie repeatedly beat your head over with. How do you not understand it at this point?
Honestly though, I hate how edgy they made the comic. I preferred the original cartoon.
>>82914050
It's like when you see someone you view as stupid getting irate over something you find absolutely trivial and a waste of time. Imagine that multiplied dozens of times over for every human being. How could he relate to the dumb bullshit that's humanity when he grasps the micro and macro of all existence? Everything else seems petty and inconsequential.

I can't find the whole thing

At least get me a source.

I. Don't. Know.
>>82916630
Whatmen
It's from IDW and Scott Lobdell wrote it
I'll post what I found
>>82914050
It doesn't matter
>>82914050
That's what happens when a beta loser gets the powers of a god.
If a well adjusted human being got them things would have been different.
>>82916999
did anyone actually read the pirate comic in their first read through of watchmen?
>>82917033
Why would you skip it? It's part of the story.
This is probably my favourite page
>>82914165
This.
>>82917033
I didn't. I was like 10 and just skipped past.
>>82917134
>>82917155
I think you missed some pages there
I've never seen this parody before. Thanks for posting
>>82917173
Like I said, I wasn't able to find all the pages.
I didn't scan these.
>>82917203
>>82917211
Yeah thanks, I'm enjoying this. Might be time for a Watchmen re-read.
>>82914165
Which is why it makes no sense when he steps in later.
QUESTION:
Should I watch the film? Never bothered with it apart from catching like the first 20 mins round a friend's house once. Heard the director's cut was actually decent.
Ozy and Bubastis are cute
>>82917282
it's pretty faithful but has an alternate ending that's arguably better
>>82917244
Laurie taught him the value of human life, bruh
>>82914050
What if all people that he destroyed will be like him in future? He is walking paradox that is omnipotent yet couldn't prevent war or change really anything pretty much.
>>82917302
Wait like Ozy doesn't unleash Shuma Gorath's roided cousin on the city?
>>82917370he frames dr manhattan for the attack in NYC. doc takes the aliens place as the threat that unites the earth
>>82917366
Hmm, that's interesting.
Thankfully, the final page was scanned
>>82917400
>Ozymandias's master plan
>"Make a Batman vs Superman movie... With Lois Lane as the main character"
>"Can we get Michael Cera for Luther? No? Get Eisenberg on the line"
>>82917302
It's pretty distinctly worse. It misses the point thatDr. Manhattan, as beyond human as he is, is still rooted in humanity and Earth -- specifically the US as a product of American science. What was created once can therefore be created again. Manhattan being the cause would only increase the tension between the east and west as the Soviets would now scramble to reproduce the effects themselves in an attempt to defend against the clearly unhinged Manhattan and his ineffectual caretakers. That was why the master plan required the catalyst be an otherworldly entity, as it provides a distinct non-human "other" to rally against. Alien invaders from space would trump the internal conflicts of mankind (ideally) and lead humanity to a golden age of solidarity under the shadow of Ozy's lie.
>>82917033
I did, but I didn't understand it. The writing style was too obtuse for me. The animated short made it clearer.
>>82917553
Shit, you just reminded me that I'd like to watch that again
On its own of course
It doesn't really fit in the ultimate cut
I like the Mad Magazine version better
>>82917726
>>82917302
It makes more sense for the film medium than a comic book medium.
Huh. Mad did a parody of the watchmen movie, also called Botchmen

Better art than the actual comic desu
Gibbons can't draw women
>>82917033
I did.
All the little subplots made the impact of Ozzy's plan and the climax of issue 11 hit like a freight train.

Only good jokes in the whole thing
I've always hated Mad's film parodies! They're so fucking word filled in every sentence, that they kill and maim the jokes! And every single sentence ends like this! Yikes!
>>82918370
I don't get the smithee joke.
And they only have four pages to work with, of course they have to cram a lot in
>>82917743
>You're so easy to talk to, Dan. The only positive human relationship I have. Let's ruin it right away!
Where did you get this picture of me
>>82917308
Which has implications that he never found value in human life even before he became omnipotent.
>>82918572
He was kind of a schmuck

Alan Smithee is a pseudonym directors use when a film they created has degenerated into a flick, and they no longer want their name associated with it.
>>82917714
>>82917904
I can't believe these were written by the same person.
Is the problem Mad's style guide, or was it only nominally written by Devlin and a combination of writer panels and editorial meddling reduced it to this dreck?
>>82918463
>I don't get the smithee joke.
When a director wants to disavow a movie he's worked on they change the credit to Directed by "Alan Smithee".
Alan Moore does not want to be connected to his adapted comics movies.
I'm actually surprised I haven't seen it before, it's obvious.
In hindsight.
Hurm.
Because it didn't involve rape, which is the only thing that gets his interest anymore.
>>82916887
This is somehow hilarious despite how crude it is. Or maybe because.
