You see, people constantly cite shit to me that I noticed to an extent reading Watchmen, I've just read enough comics in my day that I really don't find most of the examples all that impressive. Alan Moore didn't invent character development. Again, I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't find it to be all that compelling.
In terms of everyone around me thinking it's a fantastic piece of work being reasoning to read it again, I disagree entirely. Mob mentality doesn't work with me. There was a period of time where everyone around me thought cocaine was pretty keen, but you don't see me reconsidering my desire to give it a shot. If everyone around me told me getting my nuts stomped was an absolute blast, I don't think I'd have to try it twice to realize why it wasn't really for me.
Blue Kitty:
It's kind of funny that you cite The Killing Joke, cause for some reason I found it underwhelming. Maybe because everyone was telling me I was supposed to love it, but all I saw was yet another origin story for the Joker. I found the comic with the Phantom Stranger's origin much better.

The thing is Jon, the fact that you think there's no moral to watchman beyond not liking Nixon and taking the piss out of superheroes is pretty strong evidence that you didn't understand the plot or dialogue.
At all.

Going through life riding on your first impressions leaves you with a lot of missed opportunities,in my opinion.

Khar, if you'[re so dead set on the idea that I don't get it, explain it to me. I've got three people breathing down my neck that I 'just didn't get it,' but not a one of who has cited shit worth of what there is to get beyond the things I already noticed and found trivial.
lprkn, that's a pretty terrible analogy. It would be valid if I read the first chapter, decided I didn't care for it and put it down. I read through the entire thing, didn't care for it and then made what I feel is the reasonable choice of not sitting through something I didn't enjoy twice. All I'm getting from you is shit analogies and an incessant prodding that I should sit through something I found subpar multiple times and cross my fingers that maybe, just maybe, I'll enjoy it this time.
