    In the comics, the reason Adrian beats the absolute shit out of the Comedian when he kills him is that when they were younger, the Comedian bested him in a straight fight, and Adrian was so drilled towards physical and mental perfection that getting his ass handed to him by a more experienced fighter always gnawed at his colossal ego.

    The tragedy of this scene touches so many levels. I think what really gets me is that Adrian was an idealist believing he could save the world and everyone on it, but the comedian convinced him that there will always be someone who wants to destroy it. So Adrian adjusted his strategies to include collateral damage in all of those major cities where his devices were planted. Deaths to shock everyone out of apathy to make them thankful to be alive and peaceful. The comedian being one of those people who loved violence knew he'd be on the chopping block.

    • @bossslice1921
      @bossslice1921 Před rokem

      NO, Adrian try to create peace by making Dr. Manhattan as their common enemy so the countries will work together to solve this problem, while also at the same time being afraid as if Dr. M is watching them if they dare threatening the world peace again. Similar with how Light Yagami made the world peace using Death Note, a peace based on fear.

      My thoughts exactly. It's actually everyone else besides Ozymandias accomplishing f$%k all honestly. Rorschach was a literal psychopath albeit very intelligent. Dan and Laurie were washed up, impulsive and naïve. The comedian was literally everything wrong with people in general. Dr. Manhattan was so powerful he literally couldn't care less half the time. Adrian is the only one left with actual goals of actually saving humanity from it self. Had he not bombed TF out of numerous cities nuclear war would've killed more than 1000x more. A dark and morally ambiguous hero, but I'm sure he felt no pleasure in his plan.

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan was absolutely perfect casting. In fact one of the things they got so right in this film was the casting. Ozymandius could have been older, but Goode got the air of effortless superiority down perfectly.

    • @lonewolf333
      @lonewolf333 Před 4 měsíci +5

      I think Goode did a fantastic job as Ozymandias, but I did have issue with Hollywood not wanting to keep him as a mid-40's aging costumed hero. Half the point of Ozymandias's amazing physical conditioning was that he was mid-40's with the ability of someone in their 20's.

Not really the actor's fault, as I see it, more whoever cast him, or as we know today, whoever extracted sexual favors from him to get that casting....probably. 100% the case for silk spectre.

    Some writer made an interesting point:
    The Comedian is what you'd get if the Joker had been co-opted by the system: If he were given license for his murderous nihilism by some secret Black Ops agency. Although part of that nihilism comes from absolutely knowing how absolutely rotten that system is - and still being absolutely loyal to it unto death.

Not to mention that his “super strength “ was more to do with his great understanding of physics and fighting tactics than anything else.

They could advertise it as 80's superhero team, epic Justice League rip off, instead of some mystery sci-fi. WW84 was advertised as 80's superhero movie and it earned (wrongly) hundreds of millions. Yet Watchmen had 1 000 times more 80's in here than WW84.

    Zack Snyder has many weaknesses as a director, but making action scenes is not one of them. On the contrary, he excels in making visceral combat scenes. The music, the effects of the Comedian busting through walls trying to hit his assassin, the knife catching, oh my god this scene is fucking great. Zack knows how to film good fighting and action. When he has a novel or comic to base his movie on, he does a really good job. The cinematography is also very well done in this movie. The costumes. Zack definitely goes the mile when it comes to aesthetics and Watchmen (2009) isn't the exception. He needs a good script writer at his side. And maybe a co director that is specifically hired to talk to actors and get the best performances out of them.

    • @jetuber

      What makes Snyder's directing of action scenes so good is that all of the activity, all of the motions, are clearly visible.

      It was. Ozzy had a chip on his shoulder ever since a fight with Comedian many years ago that ended badly. The Comedian also had been the one to debunk Ozzy's plans, and in doing so, became the de facto leader.
      The Comedian always had the last laugh, and it drove Ozzy furious - even long after his death Ozzy likely contemplated The Comedian's true meaning and significance, and found himself lacking against his infallible reliance on human nature - The Comedian represented everything Ozzy lacked, and so, when it came time to kill him Ozzy made it personal. This was a rare flourish but he needed to know he had defeated the Comedian utterly... because he couldn't defeat him existentially.

    I don't care what reviews say, this movie was great. Long before the Boys or anything like that.
    We got Watchmen, Rorshach character was amazing. Jeffrey Dean Morgan was amazing too

    Its so funny that ppl think they arent super human like captain america when obviously everything about this fight is superhuman and thats what makes it incredible.
