I just liked the guy in the Owl Costume ....
Message:I'm not sophisticated enough to know what an alternate story line in a parallel dimension means for the price of rice in China ... nuttin I suppose.
Except, in 1970, we had Earth 3 where the near reflections of the JLA was the bad guys. It's been done for decades. Adding fancy words for good guy becomes bad is beyond my comprehension.
Watchmen worked because the heroes (and villains) were interesting. Nixon bad ... blah blah, whatever ... look Rorschach says never compromise again ... Dynomite!!!!! Oh look, a smiley face.
If the story was all that was needed, the pulps would have been enough. But, with a little Hollywierd magic, we can see the things move. Save me the trouble of imagining it.
Look the Enterprise blowed up again. I never get tired of that. Supergirl shows her bloomers. Scandal!!!!!
Dr. Manhattan lost his humanity???? Whatever ... as long as he has the blue shlong, it's all good.
They should make it into a soap opera and just have the supes beat hell out of the bad guys once an episode and then have one of them get beat up in the cliff hanger. Don't try to get fancy. This isn't Citizen Kane after all. Just chick with cod piece and a trident beating poop fire out of bad man. It's the kind of art that involves skimpy costumes and pretend violence. You know ... Movie Gold!!!!
Just my two cents.
