I know this thread is meant to be a shit show, but what the fuck? Can we not go there? Probably not, with human nature being what it is. Only thing that would help is some real moderation, I think it's far too lax on this site compared to most forums I've used. Permabans and IP-bans exist for a reason.

As per Wikipedia, Watchmen series is the best new series for HBO since Big Little lies. The first episode has over 9.4m views. Reviews are very good and it's top trending on twitter every Sunday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of episode 6, HBO reported 7 million viewers to date, making it HBO's most viewed new series since Big Little Lies. In addition it has contributed to the largest digital viewership for a freshman series since Westworld.HBO estimates that the Sunday night premiere viewership represents only about 10% of the total viewership for an episode, to the effect of word-of-mouth that has brought new viewers to the show, with the first episode having a total of 9.6 million viewers as of December 4, 2019.

It was good but nowhere as good as the rest of the series. I think it ended too neatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shayhiri Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hahahaha - the Frenchie could only be the EMBARRASSMENT of the decade, or the BLIND BAT of the decade, considering how impenetrably dark all his films are. They also always disappoint or outright bomb. Just wait for poor Dune... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestPattern Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have absolutely no dog in this Star Wars fight, but I take the reaction to this movie as confirmation that Chris Terrio is just a bad writer and BvS and JL weren't just setbacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 So how bad/terrible/salty are the Spoilers/Probematic plot points for Rise of the Retcon JJ Edition ? On a scale from 1 to 10 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problems in all the movies were emblematic of the people he was working with. BvS had Snyder problems and TROS seems to have JJ problems.

Mad because the show basically decided to be a sequel to the Alan Moore novel, and pretty much ignored the Zack Snyder film when it conflicted with the original novel?

The Futurist Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The way the MCU humiliated the franchise game this decade is not even funny. Grand, epic, masterful storytelling was in MCU land. The Star Wars fiasco is not fun, it s actually pretty sad if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think going back to the original ending was one of the things that worked. Problem is the show insults the characters, is full of plot holes, and this storytelling gimmick of throwing weird stuff to make us intrigued and then tie everything up in the end to blow our minds has grown tired after Westworld, The Leftovers and Mr Robot. This show will not hold up, people are already disappointed at the final episode, and will eventually come to their senses about the entire thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
