I made a joke because the quote I thought the post I quoted was doing the same.
I believe this is supposed to be a continuation of the Watchmen timeline. I imagine this is some new hero.You're thinking of Nite-Owl I. He was inspired by Hooded Justice. Could be an early costume... I guess...
"We have no desire to 'adapt' the twelve issues Mr. Moore and Mr. Gibbons created thirty years ago," Lindelof wrote. "Those issues are sacred ground and they will not be retread nor recreated nor reproduced nor rebooted."
"They will, however, be remixed," he continued. "Because the bass lines in those familiar tracks are just too good and we'd be fools not to sample them. Those original twelve issues are our Old Testament. When the New Testament came along it did not erase what came before it...it all happened. And so it will be with Watchmen. The Comedian died. Dan and Laurie fell in love. Ozymandias saved the world and Dr. Manhattan left it just after blowing Rorschach to pieces in the bitter cold of Antarctica. To be clear, Watchmen is canon. Just the way Mr. Moore wrote it, the way Mr. Gibbons drew it and the way the brilliant John Higgins colored it."
You guys are confusing the hell out of me but if its not an adaption/retelling of the original story, my interest has actually gone way up.
This has been completely off my radar but if its a new Watchmen story, whether that means a reimagining of the concept or some sort of weird quasi sequel/not sequel, I'm in.

Sounds intriguing and definitely like a sequel just decades later with a new cast of characters. Thats a more interesting idea for a sequel to me than Doomsday Clock.The link I posted clarifies it a bit. If you scroll further down there are some set photos which give away some of the world building.
The yellow made me think that he might be inspired by the comedian, though that's admittedly a big stretch.Five bucks says officer Cop Man is the new Rorschach equivalent.
Strongly conservative/hard stance on criminals.
the film being awful is more a reason to try againWas someone pining for more Watchmen content after that awful film? Ugh.
Sure. You realize you're in the minority opinion right? LolDear people who like The Leftovers; Damon Lindelof still sucks.
This where I'm at. But somehow I'll keep an open mind about it.It's Damon Lindelof. There is pretty much zero reason to be optimistic.
LolWow this looks terrible. No faith in this what's so ever and I hate it.

Lindelof co-wrote virtually every episode of The Leftovers. There are only 2-3 episodes, out of 28, where he didn't have a hand in writing.I love leftovers but that wasnt solely lindelof. Plus after watching maniac I'm pretty convinced that the writers involved with that are what made the shows emotional beats work.

I feel like Lost/The Leftovers vs. Prometheus/Star Trek/Cowboys and Aliens highlights that Lindelof is so much better at writing for tv than films. The longer format just plays better to his strengths as a storyteller.And Lost and Prometheus wasn't solely Lindelof, but he gets tons of flack anyway. He was showrunner on Leftovers for what it's worth.
The movie was great imo, one of the best comic adaptations right up there with The Crow and Sin City.
Also the ending of the movie > Giant alien squid.
The entire world teaming up to fight an outside threat is ridiculous no matter whether it's manhattan or aliens. I'm not really sure how one works more effectively than the other given the shorter format of film.I strongly disagree. The Watchmen film is a terrible adaptation that is all style and no substance. The ending is also a complete dud that violently misses the point, much like the rest of the film.
The way Lindelof polarizes folks always makes me laugh.
The Leftovers is one of the greatest TV shows ever—full stop..

It was a joke, lol. A subtle nod to the usual reactions to these things. Glad SOMEone caught it.I made a joke because the quote I thought the post I quoted was doing the same.
I watch Arrow & Flash weekly!

This is what really confuses me about this. That this isn't an adaption of the actual comic or even the prequels they made either. There is no telling how this is going to even turn out. There are way to many unknowns here for me and their big ones as at that.Sad that this isn't an adaptation of the comic. I would say that Watchmen would work better as a series than as a movie.
The pic gives me Marshal Law vibes, and now I'm suddenly sad that isn't being adapted.
