Furthermore were on the verge of world war 3 and the cities all look like the new york dystopia imho

It didn't fail if people liked it. It is kinda like an advertisement. People who read watchment - dislike People who didn't know it exists - likes it See the point? It didn't fail as an adaptation, because it's a good movie and it adapted the main core of the story. People like to throw the "point of the source material card", but the truth is, we can argue if the movie did or didn't all we want, but at the end of the day, it's still a good movie. What superhero movie can compare even?

Rorschach did not retreat from the world everyone else did the corruption sickens him Ditko was a libertarian unlike rorschach in large part

This was my jam as a kid lol

I played the hell outta this literally thousands of times and I never get bored 😂❤

You guys should shut up, you don’t know how fucking hard it is to make a good movie.

It’s not that it’s a bad movie, it’s just a nice change from the nerd sitting on his couch and staring at a screen.

Very educational on a topic I've been verrrrrrry sloooooowlllly familiarising with since a couple of friends were locked onto the original issues as they came out. Having been a comics freak as a kid to an extreme extent, I was very 'Yeah...that looks great' as I felt that handling comics was a gateway drug back to seventeen jobs for buying the entire Marvel monthly output regardless of whether I liked the comics (told you I was extreme as an 8 year old). So I always had Watchmen 'at a distance' as it became not a 'comicbook' but a 'graphic novel' and once it had the Pulitzer adults could buy it without being sanctioned. (Difficult to imagine this ancient era now but it really would, at that time, be 'not safe for work' to reveal an interest in comic books!) So even after a girlfriend had nicknamed me 'Doctor Manhattan' (because of my habit of disappearing for months on filmmaking projects) and other friends went 'Haha yeah' indicating they got her joke, I had ZERO knowledge of what they were on about despite this graphic novel being in everybody's apartment by then. It all changed when I found out it was going to be shown in IMAX in London, as I had been looking for my IMAX debut item. As it turned out, I even got a free press ticket on the night and I thought it was the greatest screen experience I'd ever had (I think it's still number one as I write). I've seen it since on all formats including TV with adverts and I have read the graphic novel, the deluxe one, the ultra edition or whatever it's called...every available item. I still had never noticed your key point. That is, I never noticed superpowers in the movie. This somewhat explains the mystery of Alan Moore's extreme hostility (although there's also the wider issue of his prior disputes with DC on artist rights which gets lost in press about him). It can't have been as blink and miss it to him since it wasn't for you. It's only me then who STILL doesn't see that this makes much difference to the experience of the movie in relation to the book. I blinked, missed the superpowers but still came away from the movie (which I saw twice before I actually read the book) with a perception of it as an anti-superhero polemic. I really dig your pointing all of this out though as it really does solve the Alan Moore mystery for me finally.

Its incredibly ridiculuous that this dinky ass gba games has more depth and nuance than hogwarts legacy. Much more enemy variety too.

They were great movies, but after endgame they fell off even the shows just not good and it’s terribly sad because I am a huge, fucking nerd for the MCU always have been for the comic books to the animated shows to the movies but not anymore. All the new shit is truly garbage now.💔

This is an overhead look of rpg games pretty common in that era. It's not plagiarism😅

The Stealth function in these Harry Potter games were the stuff of nightmares. I lost so many points trying to get past those prefects. And why are they still around even if it's during the daytime?

I genuinely love Topher as Eddie. He's too fun to watch

This aged like milk

wow man you're back,it's been a long time though...

Jim Carrey is the best parts l Of this movie so disagree!

yo, I'm sorry so many dumb bigots are still in these comments being absolute assholes. Surely they see how bad she's gotten now.

Originally, I heard it was going to be a bit like Wayne's World and the nerd was on a quest to review E.T. I dont know how much truth there is to that.. but that sounds really cool, I was pretty disappointed with what actually was made. And I've never seen it. It just looks awful.

You picked Ultron to avoid a villain that would come back, and now Ultron returned in What If and is coming back for vision quest

5:53 : Actually wild. So rude. I stumbled upon your harry potter reviews, I enjoyed them all and subscribed, only to watch this video and unsubscribe.

worth to play?

Ooooooh. Now I understand. People didn’t know drywall is not that durable. I was wondering how I got a whole different experience than others watching that movie… it’s because I accidentally kicked a hole in drywall try to run on it. I didn’t know ppl thought they had super strength… I mean except for Ozy

Where is your essay on the watchman tv show and the wonderful watchmen animation we got this month

It needed someone like Nolan or Villeneuve at the helm. Snyder - the ultimate botcher, botched The Watchmen like he botches everything he lays his hands on.

Why are so many rancid Marxist around Watchmen becoming so sour about the movie? Oh yeah, that's a Moore vibe, basic in this scene.

I don't know.... I think you hyperfixated in the wrong thing. I don't think their "super strength" is very different to whenever Sylvester Stallone or Vin Diesel are portrayed as being able to do feats of strength on films, or whenever James Bond or Tom Cruise do some incredible stunt. No one thinks of these characters as "having super powers". And, frankly, I didn't think that when watching the Watchmen (hah!). I agree with everything else you said though. Snyder's obsession with glorifying violence doesn't do any good for the movie and story.

“Um this movie is le sexist”

6 years later, we've hit 100,000 views! Thanks, everyone 😁 Since I'm here, I might as well give a little epilogue: I always wanted to make a follow-up essay on the Watchmen TV show after it finished airing, but 2020 happened and I stopped making videos for a while (I now make videos about Phoenix Wright). So to close this lid, I'll say this much: Watchmen HBO is my favorite TV show. It absolutely understands the material it's adapting in so many ways the film never did. Most importantly, it's _not_ an adaptation of the graphic novel, but instead a _sequel_ to it. Watchmen HBO is faithful to the book in that, just as the book did in 1986, the show responds to the world in which it was created - late-2010s America, in this case. So many people complain about the show's social politics, and for what it's worth, those people are stupid. They're the type of person who will find a video titled "WATCHMEN Doesn't Get 'Watchmen'" and use it as a means to leave some idiotic comment about a TV show, even if the video was made long before that TV show even came out. Watchmen HBO is a masterpiece and one of the best pieces of superhero media made during the golden age of superhero stuff we're slowly exiting. But please, feel free to whine about wokeness or w/e in the comments of this video - engagement is always good 👍 Thanks again for 100K!

hey, im from the future and can say that watchmen 2019 is amazing!!!

1:20 what happen with the sound in this part ?

Well, I'm glad I didn't go out of my way to see this movie. I am a fan of the AVGN-series, but this movie sounds like a total train-wreck. All that hype, for this garbage?

Interesting video :) I personally haven't played these titles, but maybe one day I'll give 'em a try. 😎

simp

This dude takes life too serious. It’s not that deep

GBC this would be my top 5 game in GBC

Damn I miss GBA game boxes! Such an experience getting one and opening one.

I mean he does review and play shitty games aha so he gonna make a shitty movie

And, as a result of the things you discussed, the casting is [mostly] wrong. Most of the actors and are too young, and the makeup / prosthetics to make them look older looks hokey. We're told Nite Owl is some dweeby loser, but he's jacked. Malin Akerman is woefully miscast. Ozymandias doesn't look like he should be able to beat up much of anyone, but he still kicks people across the room.

this is a great AVGN movie, if you loved AVGN you will love this movie, the sad reality is though I found going back and revisiting his videos, he's not funny. he was early 2000s funny aka loud swearing = funny "funny" same thing as robot chicken, he is totally a product of his time. Also can you stop pretending to have an IQ in the teens and admit gaming isn't a conventual attractive woman's hobby? seriously stop being purposely obtuse, that would be like me acting like Hip Hop/Rap is a gay Asain's hobby. just stop.

This is such a fantastic video. It reminds me so much of the classic GameTrailers retrospectives, not just stylistically, but how you couch the game in the historical context of the medium as a whole and the specific genre it occupies. And just like those retrospectives, I immediately feel like I NEED to play this game as soon as possible, because I am missing an incredibly important part of video game history if I don't. Bravo :)

I am SEATED

holy cow!!!!! so glad you are doing videos again! been a fan of yours for ages

Please let be antoher one

Welcome back, Max. May your second part be as good as this.

THE RETURN OF THE GOAT

I thought you were dead.

🎶 It's the return of the Max

Carrey's Olaf is a big part of why I love the movie so much tbh
