I think the warmer colors, and simpler more stylized drawings they used for the faces and characters, in comparison for the very dark and overcast setting for the movie also played a role.
Yeah, one of my big complaints in the movie is that Vedit is a super nerd in the comics. He's a little more awkward. His speeches he gives are less cold and a lot more emotional and despite the big words he uses almost childish at times. It's like he can't accept the idea he's wrong or it'll...
But yeah, Veidt finds out he was wrong. Dr Manhattan specifically tells him, which are his last lines in the book, nothing ever changes. As in, the conspiracy won't change war or human nature and eventually everything that's happened will happen again. And remember Dr. Manhattan can see the...
Which is actually good character writing in this case and not just an excuse for the Author to tie everything up in a bow, Since Viedt is actually a super comic nerd and in-between the conspiracy and running a billion dollar company, he likes collecting them and I think there's a scene in his...
The main character of the Black Freighter comic, but interestingly Veidt does actually quote the Black Freighter Comic in his last conversation with Dr. Manhattan, when he starts to realize it was all for nothing.
The ominously named Black Freighter was this ghostly vision the guy had, which was a warning of bad things that were about to happen and in the end in a very cheesy way he realized he was the Black Freighter all along.
The older man tried to shield the kid from the blast with his body. Which was real heroism. And what the world actually needed, not more blood and destruction like Veiid thought. And throughout the whole story the Black Freighter represents destroying yourself and the people around you, despite...
And the tale of the Black freighter is significant in the story, because it mirrors what Veidt the main villain is doing. He thinks he's saving the world, but really he's only killing a shit load of people mindlessly. And that black kid and old white man, I mentioned their races specifically...
And throughout the story, they are particularly obsessed with finding this one specific comic called the tales of the Black Freighter. It makes an interesting situation with a comic within a comic. Which is about a man whose crew gets killed by pirates, so he goes on a roaring rampage of revenge...
This nerdy black kid, who likes collecting comic books, and this older white man who runs a newspaper stand and in between selling old comics he collects as well to the kid, since real life superheroes have caused comic companies to go bankrupt, the two talk and it acts as a good way to show how...
Have you ever read Watchmen? Well, if you haven't only some light spoilers here. Basically through the comic in between focusing on the superhero characters slowly unraveling a conspiracy that's going to kill a bunch of people, we get these small interludes basically where it's either flash...
And in the process of becoming that warrior, she will no longer become recognized by her family as the blood shed and killing fundamentally changes her as a person. Cool. Kind of reminds me of the Black Freighter symbolism from Watchmen.
But she's injured, potentially dying, and she's either having a vision of a god or some kind of path she has to undertake, maybe a hint of what she'll have to sacrifice if this is what she choices, and her waking up and breathing is her choosing to go forward despite the warnings or suffering ahead.
Oh, but since we're suggesting music videos. I've been checking out AI covers and this is definitely one of the best. Genuinely something I would listen to in public and feel no shame. lol.
I unironically suggested Jesus to someone because they mentioned having too much freedom in their life was driving them crazy, and I mentioned how a church could be a good outlet for those feelings.
