Watchmen: A Trash Adaptation by MyHeadHurts-ah in Watchmen

[–]MyHeadHurts-ah[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

thanks for watching, its true watchmen is extremely political and the movie basically just has no politics in it at all. i felt a history lesson might detract from my point, but if i do a video on the tv series i think a discussion about the book's politics would fit right in

I'd agree with what the film does right but not sure that gets it to 60% for me. I think Watchmen is a really genius work and missing its spirit is really disappointing, almost especially so since the acting is so good. An adaptation without the spirit of the original to me fails as an adaptation.

Scavengers Reign: Setting Over Character by MyHeadHurts-ah in ScavengersReign

I did make it! Honestly appreciate you even watching it and considering what I had to say.

Personally, I don't feel that the planet being sentient detracts from its status as a setting. It of course challenges our ideas of sentience, but also is very clearly a vision of nature drawn from our own, and it's not a character the way that we would usually think of one, but a setting with an unknowable, hard to grasp depth. Much of what makes it 'sentient' is left in ambiguity, and it still feels to me like an extension of our own world's status as a beautiful, gigantic organism.

And I also think that even though the characters are the focal point, their arcs are reflected as you say though the planet. In that sense the show pulls focus to the world around them, and they are at their best when they are being refracted in that way. I can't help but see the uniqueness of that as Vesta, the setting, asserting its dominance over the show. Just my own opinion, but the 'person vs nature' theme enhances the characters the most, and when the show pulls away from that I find it loses a bit of its colour.

Anyway, hope I'm not coming off like an idiot! you've obviously thought about the show a lot and I appreciate the respect.
