Prepping to write Watchmen article… I can see why I saved this one for last

I’m in a phase right now of re-reading the Watchmen graphic novel. I’m giving a more careful read of the prose at the end of each chapter… watching analysis videos… watching the motion comic…

And after completing all this immersion I’ll soon again give a watch to Snyder’s Ultimate Cut, jotting down notes as I go.

Watchmen is easily the most daunting task for my analysis project of Zack Syder’s DC films. It’s such a dense book. So much layered meta-contextual content. The film does it’s own unique thing, and it’s also packed with deeper meanings in it’s own way as well.

But I’ll spoil a bit for now with the following tidbit: one of the things I’ll definitely be focusing on is what Zack Snyder might be getting at by making Watchmen’s superheroes cool and sexy. Zack is saying something quite different than Alan Moore did in this regard.
