HBO Series: Watchmen (2019) (drops 10/20/19) Thread

I just got one question (that hasn't been asked yet), maybe y'all can answer it:

If Ozy was emulating Alexander The Great & staying a virgin to keep himself pure & clear-minded, then why did he have a fridge full of nut (like 6 years)?

That's the only part I'm lost on.
 
Ozy isnt fast or a mutant he is just ridiculously smart - so smart that he can figure out your moves in a fight before you do - like in chess - where a real master sees where the game is gonna go in the first 3 or 4 moves and knows how to take you down - he sees what your are doing and blocks or checks the move or turns your momentum his advantage ....

like in this scene with Sherlock Holmes



so ozy is figured out all your shit before you even moved past step one ...

Thanks for the breakdown, but he figures out the physics of catching a bullet with his hand?
 
Right, forgot all about him, the writers seem to have forgot about him too.


I don't believe it's been established that he's telekinetic, no one has said anything about it so I figured it was some sort of magnetic toy.
He is Pete. He wrote the Peteypedia...the answers were from there.
Topher was building with a magnetic set of blocks branded after Dr. Manhattan. It wasn't telekinesis.

Yeah, just a toy
 
Lube guy didn't matter.
Def a case of everyone fishing for meaning and not really letting the thing right in front of you resonate.
There can be random people in a universe who don't mean anything they don't always have to lead to some grand ending
He just happened to be out when she was out and got spotted then escaped.
Naw ninja...I need more on this bullshit.

Ain't nan mafugga just gonna show up and distract the main character of a series for nothin.

He made the bullet and the gun. The material things on Europa was created by him(the costumes, the cake, the horseshoe, the candles, the catapults, the stage play, etc.).

He was passing the time until lady trieu sent a spaceship to take him back to earth.
 
She spent as much time on that dude randomly watching and running away
As she did on cleaning the eggs

No way in fuck that scene was insignificant in a show where literally every shot, line, and scene meant something.

Lube man was Petey.

What that means is up in the air, but it wasn't some meaningless this is a random weirdo to show that there are random weirdos in this world shot.

Not every line and shot but that's the beauty because once you get enough meaning something then everything has to mean something

I'm not arguing on whether it was Petey or not I think it was as well.

Just the significance of it being him didn't mean anything
We haven't even seen him since she got kidnapped at the house. Like ever again not as the agent or lube guy and for all intents and purposes the series is over According to the creator

So yea he was just lube guy cause he's lube guy lol

Until there's a new season that shows him being lube guy or his origin or a new team or anything like that it was an Easter egg not a thread on a subplot that has yet to be explored imo.
 
I loved it and would like for it to end there. The comic didn't wrap things up with Ozy being unsure of if he did the right thing and with Rorschach's journal being discovered. So it makes sense for this to do the same. But if they can really come up with something that can top this season then do it.

Backup plan maybe. He is smart as hell so who knows what he was thinking of doing with it.
 
Good prognostication RB. He's also still spry and has his wits about him at his advanced age and he did withstand boiling hot water to retrieve his hard boiled egg. Then again, how many eggs out of the dozen got some of his Atomic components? Could it be all three?
We shall see tonight. :yes:
I liked Angela getting the powers but Will's interactions with the eggs and statements about being Dr. Manhattan don't make sense to me; gonna have to rewatch at some point.
 
Also, was I the only one rooting for Lady Trui? I agree with she and Will's critique of Dr. Manhattan -- it has always been my main problem with the character.

But after her father's evaluation of her, I realized I may have been wrong to join the Trustice League. Dr. Manhattan was bad in what good he did not make an effort to achieve but at least he was not actively evil or power hungry.
Watched the movie last night.

Did I miss it or was Dr. Manhattan the only character whose powers were explained? It was unclear to me what powers these people had and why they had them. And I don't really understand the extent of Dr. Manhattan's powers, such as why he didn't save the Vietnamese girl.

I think Vietnam was a good way to show why he doesn't intervene. Even if he does everything for us that he thinks is better for us some of us would still rebel. Or we would worship his existence like the creations on Jupiter. It's best to leave us the fuck alone. Ozy tried to save us and that didn't do shit either. Went right back to hating each other.

We need to know who Lube man was just because he pulled off such a sweet move sliding into the sewer. We have to give someone there praise just for that alone.
:roflmao: :roflmao::roflmao:

 
That was the realest part of entire season....

Admitting wrong is devastating to CACs
You ain't never lied. Shit, remember the day after the very first episode of Watchmen when we went to work that day. White people were mad as shit talkin about how black the show is, and how it's making white people look bad - and then come to find out it really happened

They were shocked. They hate being smacked in the face with facts

They do all kind of shit, mad because they were forced to apologize. They put caps on what you can sue for after being wrongly imprisoned. A person can get out of jail after 25 years and they were innocent, and they'll say "Well, you can only get this much."

How are you going to tell me what 25 years suffering in jail while innocent as worth? I missed going to my mother's funeral. I missed seeing my kids grow up. I missed the opportunity to have kids. And that's worth that little ass amount to you? To me it's worth ten times the highest number I can think of
