Will you watch these Watchmen?
Dazed:
Yeah, I saw this again last night, this time with my childhood best friend, who has not read the comic. After I finished explaining how it actually ends, with the squid thing he was just kind of like, "What the fuck? Really?" I think altering the ending a bit (i.e. removing the squid) was necessary to make it cinematically viable.
Scandanavian War Machine:
yeah, definitely.
kind of irritating that they took "creative license" with stuff like the ending (even though i know it had to be changed) and Laurie's smoking, and a few other tidbits but they couldn't get even a little bit creative and make some really good original music instead of using the music that was in the comic no matter how out-of-place or inappropriate it was.
KvP:
I'm not saying the squid isn't ridiculous, I'm saying it's equally ridiculous as anything else in the comic. If anything the movie increased the ridiculousness to a certain (apparently unnoticeable) extent by virtue of it being a live-action film.
Johnny C:
The squid is in no way equally ridiculous.
Like, it literally has no basis in reality. The comic's reality, I mean.
it is so ridiculous that it does not exist until the smartest man in the world executes a diabolically evil plan
Lines:
To be honest, I thought the alien thing was kind of silly in the comic. I mean, it didn't bother me that Jon was not set in reality (maybe because he had been human at one point), but everything else was. Creating an alien was not a smart plan, it was a silly one. Just teleporting bombs to cities and blaming it on the one superhuman guy makes a lot more sense.
Besides, that alien was butt-ugly.
