Hi. :)

Hint: Click on "canola oil" in that document.

Are you planning to talk about doomsday clock the comic book sequel to the 1986 Watchmen

It looked nothing like him though?

Could you consider looking into the Witcher Netflix series? Pretty please?

Whats wrong with John?

Wow its so obvious but i didnt put that together. Good catch

Hooded Justice was Austrian originally. His main thing was being against Nazis and any nazi like groups like the kkk

Bro hooded justice was a gay man who was black. They retconned some many things for this terrible show

That’s what he said, bass.

3 years later and he said bass, not bass. :p

You can't kill Dr Manhattan! It's stupid. Suddenly lithium is some sort of Kryptonite?

@@Coalemos no its not, hes a bi-product of science not a God, hence there's a means to an end.

Im not crying. Youre crying.

@@Dasanie what? Doesn't matter what you want to call him God, Demigod, super man (2 words). The fact is if it's made from matter then he can manipulate it. No goddamn lithium battery gonna slow him down let alone stop him. He's not even really there in his body as far as I know. It's a representation of such that allows him to communicate with others.

@@Coalemos I do agree that it is a leap in logic regarding Manhattan. The story told intrigued me enough that I let it pass. But it is a problem I have with the show that I found otherwise quite extraordinary.

Also Laurie's ex, Cal Abar - Excalibur.

@@Glidus The man, the myth, the legend Glidus himself is here! Love your stuff man, been a sub since your Preston video.

Yes, but the black superman movie reference is also intentional (although it applies to Cal Abar, not Angela). It's actually mentioned in the peteypedia files.

noice

Same

Her mother even quotes the real historic figure Lady Trieu -as she impregnates herself with the stolen DNA sample in the office

There are also many parallels between Angela and Rorschach: 1. Both investigate a murder in the beginning of the story and find a secret cupboard with a suit (Judd's KKK robe vs The Comedian's superhero costume). 2. Both are the POV character of the story, but does not affect it. 3. Both see the world in black and white. 4. Both use torture to get people to talk. 5. Both see themselves are morally superior.

@@db7213 Not to mention the significant focus of black and white on both characters' costumes to reflect each character's black/white view of the world.

Roschach was good though. What are you talking about?

@@AntonAdelson Not really no, apart from being a hero/vigilante, thats all he's good for. Just watch Alt's video on the Watchmen comics and he's really not a good person

@@isham2044 First off Watchmen is all about "What is Good/bad" the point of the Watchmen is that Good and Bad DONT EXIST... Second Roschach sought TRUTH and unveiled it and even took it upon himself to be the greater good when systems built by a corrupt society wouldnt hold. Go give the original a READ not a WATCH

😂😂 I think the technical term is a Dolezal.

Yeah but that was like him saying that if he became president and she helped him then he would get the pardon, right? So no pardon

@@KennethKaniff999 i took it as a multiple purpose comment during that scene. Showing his willingness of corruption as well as a reference to Night Owl getting pardoned. Also that Lori still held a candle for Dan.

Ddddds

1. Elephants never forget. 2. Who knows?

Also, it lends to a visual pun, as Angela and Trieu don't talk about the elephant in the room.

Lube Man is just Pink Guy in the alternative timeline

Lube Man was Petey. I think he was just keeping an eye on Angela either for himself or for Laurie.

The elephant could also be because lady trieu was named after a Vietnamese historical figure/legend that was said to ride an elephant

💯💯💯

Look onto my works ye might and despair. Also the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that part 😅

And where's the gem of hooded justice, sleeping with capitalism? Sorry, I meant CAPTAIN METROPOLIS?? This couldn't hit home ANY BETTER on every level

omg

My fav gem is the truth drop Manhattan gives while he is talking "nonsense" during his cage scene. "We only see old photos of the stars", taking a direct jab at the mockery and coverup that is our so called "space program" which is still showing us low res pictures of the planets in our solar system and of distant stars, while they have had HD camera technology for decades. I actually smiled when he said that... Also another truth drop is when Adrian complains that he has given humanity all kinds of clean energy systems and they still prefer to use dirty nuclear energy and a-bombs. Again, a jab at the fact that humanity has very advanced technology today and yet we still use the old grimy tech for some reason...

@@mancamiatipoola they're low resolution because the objects are millions of miles away. Do you not understand how vision works?

@@mancamiatipoola don't agree with you on the space stuff but you are right that for some reason with access to wind, solar, and using nuclear power as a gap filler, its insane that we choose to poison our air, and destroy our planet using fossil fuels.

He was taken advantage of. SA on men is still not really in public conscious, but i think the show made it clear it was SUPER traumatic for him.

*live action HANDSOME Squidward

@@mangenkiou you're attracted to Squidward? Eww...

AltShiftX is the new Dr. Manhattan confirmed.

Very well put!

Except the Watch turned woke and it will fade into “The Leftovers” obscurity while Watchmen remains the pinnacle of excellence. Nice try, though.

@@SuperOmnicronsj44 We get it, "racism not bad, show too political, me get angry at black people". Fuck off.

@NizzyNizerson I'm not even angry at you, I'm just confused. What the fuck does that mean? I'm brainwashed because...I liked a tv show, and...I don't buy anything, which is connected to this conversation through...delusion? Seriously what the fuck are you talking about, did you forget to take your meds today?

Thank you!

Lindelof confirmed she got the powers

Yeah I mean, I know the show supposedly leaves it open, but she _had_ to get his powers. Otherwise it means he did the whole bit with the egg when they first met, then the very deliberate callback to it later on the night he died, and the whole walking on water bit, all so he could prank her into eating a raw egg and face-planting into the swimming pool which... I mean if that's what he was going for, I'd have to commend his commitment to comedy.

@@soufian2733 Thank you, that's a good interview

I need to get into it more, the more recent Watchmen sequel stuff and origins stories.

​@@tomgebarowski8156the film, and ESPECIALLY the show were horrendous. While Moore is infamous for disliking any adaptations, he put some extra oomph in his dislike of the Watchmen show. Completely warranted imo, as it calls itself watchmen, but strips down every point the comic tried to make, and besides the same general tone and purpose (using realism and moral grayness for expression) it either goes against the points the comic tried to make, does character slander, or puts in new points that dont mesh with the original (dr Manhattan being the perfect example of all 3). Read the comic my g, its seriously one of the best in the artform, and youd like it even if you're not into comic books.

It's such an underrated series.

Greek, too: Baby Hermès defended himself, when questioned as to why he stole Apollo’s sheep, by farting. This causes all the gods to laugh and embrace him as one of their own.

SpirusOfH in my mind, she falls into the water, only to spring up glowing blue dripping water. Jon oyster man was destroyed and rebirthed as dr Manhattan. Laurie being baptized and then walking out of the pool after she floats back down to it seems right.

To me it seems 'important later' to see him walk on water so that when she splashes in she will have closure and know that he is gone.

I kinda like how rorschach and angela have so much similarities in how they believe in things( she believes that she can give others justice and rorschach believes he can do everything and he hates everyone) that at the end one dies and other becomes a God. Considering she would go through same misery that Dr Manhattan goes through. Really really great

The thing people keep forgetting because noone took the time to read the comic is that 1. Dr Manhattan can't time travel. 2. He can't interact with his past or future self. He can only see what's going to happen because it's already has, will happen. He can see it because it will happen and can't be changed. 3. He can't give up his power, simply because he is the power. You can't kill him. You pull him apart he puts himself back together again. It's now what he is. He's no longer a human, he no longer thinks like a human because in fact he's a God, to who human emotions no longer matters and who can't love anyone anymore because he can't think that way anymore. And if you don't believe me, go read the comic.

@@eliselianaboyd2547 I strongly disagree with your interpretation that Dr. Manhatten no longer is human. His entire arc is about him desperately trying to relate to other people. His perception of the universe and time means that he is unable to connect with anyone because everything is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. That's why he didn't do anything to stop that Vietnamese woman being shot, he knew it was immorral but he just didn't care enough to do anything. That's the true tragedy of Dr. Manhatten - he isn't just a God among men, he's a human being who has lost the very thing that makes him human. Laurie was the only thing that made him care about humanity, but as the Comedian points out, Manhattan is only pretending to care and he can never truly love Laurie. That combined with her leaving him is what pushes him over the edge. If he was just an unemotional God then he wouldn't have cared about that either. But he isn't. He's a guy who knows he loves this woman and wants to relate to people again but he is completely unable to.

For this info I will upvote. I mean I would have anyway... But now I definitely will, probably. I'll do it.

Greta Garbo wouldn't be too happy about your statement. XD

Season 2, and all subsequent seasons, should be reboots. New sequel, new story, unrelated to the others.

@@PhilHibbs Or they can just do with the one because its not like the next season is going to be anywhere near as good as the first

They could do a second season if it made sense...or they could highlight the original minute men in it's own season

They've already said they're not going to do a second season. At least Lindelof (creator/writer/ep) has said he's not interested. :-(

I agree, but it would be nice wouldn’t it?

I noticed that too but we’ll never know if he’s dead or not as it’s been confirmed there won’t be a season 2

Well, I mean all we know is his form was disintegrated and it was in that machine of Trieu's (quantum particle accelerator or whatever?) before the frozen squidfall blew it up... basic physics says that energy must have been dispersed into some medium but couldn't have been destroyed. I'm no quantum physicist, but even if Manhattan was scattered across the very small world, he'd probably eventually be able to reconstitute himself--that was, after all, the first thing he learned to do.

@@RossOfRoni Indeed! Recombination was also the first thing the universe itself learned to do as well so seems appropriate.

@@Hylianamused Well, it was never outright stated he was permanently killed, either. It's worth noting that he knows being on the pool will be important for Angela to see later, after he's 'dead'. He can only see his lifetime, so he's likely still in existence, somewhere. Potentially within Angela.

@@bajscast now thats an awesome comment

Late reply, but you forget- he was part of the cops AND the 7K during the "White Night", meaning he helped the plan to kill all the cops, inculding trying to kill Angela. Him "surviving" the White Night was most likely planned hoax. TL;DR Judd tried to kill Angela, helped plan to kill dozens of Cops on their homes and is a big racist, but always pretended he was nice

If I'm being honest, I think the writers were just being lazy and pretentious. They wanted to create some twist that Judd who has being established as friendly and righteous, is actually and evil mastermind. Who ends up killed and the audience can cheer for Angela, when we learn that she was the one who told Will, via Manhattan's perception of time, that Judd was a part of Cyclops. She was the one who caused his death and supposably kicked off the events of the story. But while you think this would be a devastating blow to her, because they made Judd working for a bunch of irredeemable monsters so evil, we're expected to cheer for Angela instead. Which I find to be a pretty lazy move. Now I'm gonna assume that writers didn't like the idea of Angela feeling remorse, since they made Judd is exactly like the 7th Kalvary, her showing any remorse wouldn't make sense. But I'd argue that it would have been more interesting to see Angela's conflicting feelings. Seeing her cause the death of someone who was like family to her, regardless of what he truly was as a person. I also was hoping that they'd show Judd feeling regret for joining the 7th Kalvary and maybe do something similar to Omni-Man's character, like stalling them long enough so they won't attempt to take Manhattan's powers. Especially when in Episode 6, before Will kills him, he says, "You don't understand. I'm trying to help you people.". Now some have argued that this was just him trying to save himself at the moment. But the way the line is delivered and the tone of it all, it seems pretty odd. Now I thought that the writers were gonna have Judd either reveal that he was infiltrating the 7th Kalvary. Or if he did join without question, begin to regret what he was doing, due to his close relationship to Angela, and was attempting to sabotage their plan. In fact, this would have made the revelation that Angela caused his death much more impactful. Have Judd abandon the 7th Kalvary's beliefs and stop them, but was killed by Will before he could do so, because of Angela's actions. It would have made for a massive twist and Angela would have to grapple with the result of her actions. Would she feel guilty for being the cause of her friend's death, who despite having racist beliefs, attempted to change his ways and decide to repent? That would've added so much characterization to both Angela and Judd, and so much Moral complexity for the narrative to explore. BUT NO, Judd's evil for the sake of being evil. Therefore, we don't feel bad when Will kills him or that Angela's involvement caused his death. Just for writers to have us go, "Yeah, F-U Judd. You go Angela, girl!!!". And to make things worst, the only reason these character dynamics aren't explore is because Damon Lindelof and Co. were WAY to focused on such and overly contrived plot that it really doesn't focus on character, ESPECIALLY with the new ones. Which is why this show kind of failed. Lindelof was so focused on changing the original characters to fit with his narrative, that not only did he character assassinate all of them, but their insertion into the show's story is pretty contrived and unnecessary. And every time we watch the new characters, almost all of them (including Angela) get short-changed at one point or another.

Can you imagine a 30 mins video about Mr. Robot ending by ASX? Jesus

It is too smart for most KZfaq creators. Alt Shift X could do it though.

That's be awesome.

Oh my god, that would be awesome. I'm thinking of becoming a patreon to cast a vote. Dunno if ASX has seen it though. He seems to have a lot on his plate. (Not that the watch time matters in comparison how long it must take to make his analysis videos)

YES TO THIS!!!

I just finished it, it's pretty good!

It fucking sucks lol

I still think about that arrangement of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" that played when Dr. Manhattan was fully introduced

@@GPerla26 honestly I still think that a lot of reviews are missing out on how the soundtrack in this show had that eerie effect Sometime it was the music that kept me invested and interested during some scenes and episodes :D

Oh yeah. Had no idea Trent Reznor did movie/TV scores. Just looked up he did work for The Social Network and Gone Girl.

@@bigred2989 i didn't see those 2 movies so I can't say if it's good or not But I read that for Watchmen, he really wanted to do the score and insistent so HBO hired him

I always thought of it as V-AYE-ght, like "night". Isn't he German?

Martin Wold Stavrum yeah, that’s how they pronounced it in the show too

It rhymes with "White" and derived from the Latin word "Vitus", which means "lively" or "full of life". And yes, it is always distracting when it's mispronounced on KZfaq. Which, sadly happens a lot. Glad Snyder got that part right, at least.

“Bass”, of Bass Reeves, too. It should rhyme with gas.

Yeah my bad! In the show they pronounce it like "Vite"

Doing what, shilling for a shitty canceled show?
