Fragrant, every episode update from episode 5 onwards can be my favorite episode of this one.
The lines and editing for the first 40 minutes of the eighth episode are perfect. It tastes so original.
If you want to pick on the thorns, the blue image of Manhattan in the drama version is too silly, and the bar is as mysterious as it is. And I'm starting to like the heroine, but the actor probably won't be fragrant, and the emotional outbursts are played... I can't quite understand the style of this Oscar-level actor's exercise.
I love Manhattan's childhood story so much, though I'm not sure I like the character arc of him returning to Earth in pursuit of love, which humanizes him too easily, hopefully there's more context to fill in for episode 9.
The act of observation itself can also have an impact on the outcome. Is information a kind of material? or something else?
Episode 5: This episode was so cleverly written that it was full of surprises until the last minute. LG is probably the best one of the original character designs of Watchmen (I also really like the look and voice of the actress Zhao Yu).
It feels fragrant, and I will increase it by one star first. The texture of the black and white memory and color reality alternated in the sixth episode also looks great.
Episode 3: Feeling better? And not because of some exact plot point, maybe the return of Silk Soul? Maybe it's the commercial Manhattan phone booth and the blue cockroach (Say, Silk Soul is also part of the trademark, doesn't he get some royalties?) Maybe the people in the show also started talking about masked cops and lynchings, and all of a sudden, it happened again. Interested in following up.
And, I suddenly realized that a large part of the reason why I don't like this show is that I can't get the face of the black heroine. Generally, it can be made up with the plot, let's see.
(Let's not mention Pharaoh, all the plots related to Pharaoh are just pretending before his specific story is told. Although, I found that I would rather watch this than the heroine, it's really not a race issue , I need to reflect on my own appearance association tendencies, but I also hope that the main creator and casting will reflect on the difference between satisfying the audience everywhere and dissatisfying the audience in very basic places)
Well, in the future, I will still focus on commenting on the plot.
There is another point, I forgot to complain before, why hbo will allow the screenwriter to start the series 30 years after the original work, this is basically passed on as a watchman, but the watchman is considered a fire in the United States (library image There is nothing in the novel area. This book must be there.) Not everyone has read it. This entry point, the difficulty in understanding it may cause, and the large number of flashbacks that need to explain the plot in the future... I personally don't like this time selection very much. . Maybe it's because Lindelof wrote HBO's Overwatch so well?
Episode 2:
The midnight of the doomsday clock is the moment when my patience is exhausted, and the hour hand is now moving forward by one space.
Masked vigilantes and masked policemen,
It's fucking two things.
Masked cops and a mob of abusive lynchings,
Two fucking things again.
----------Dividing line--------
Let’s talk about the advantages first. The rhythm of the first episode is good, and it is actually worth watching as an original American drama. The production budget seems to be sufficient, there are many easter eggs in the original work, and I can feel the ambition of the screenwriter, trying to complete the 30-year history of the original work.
Whether it's good or bad, there's only one episode that can't be evaluated. But what can be evaluated is the choice to focus on racial issues. (In the beginning, the focus is clear at a glance. Speaking of why Tulsa was so chaotic in 1921, black mothers can still play the piano in the cinema so calmly. , the tone at the beginning is good, and the logic is not right.) I thought that the theme and core of this episode and Watchmen were deviated.
If I want to say what is the theme of this generation that continues the core of Watchmen, I want to see the relationship between masked heroes/superheroes and this highly entertaining Internet age and the political situation with frequent black swan events and populism resurgence... ...the subject of black-white racial conflict is...slightly narrowed, superficial, and off-topic. (So it sounds like a more serious and realistic version of the black-robed picket team??) (To make up, after reading the interview with the screenwriter, he said that there will be no Internet and social media in this world... For now, let's not scold, and then see how the plot will be at this point. Make a fuss, but I'm starting to be curious about the technology tree of humans in this universe)
And, why are the American police so tied up in 9102? Do you need remote authorization to unlock the gun? Better to explain that rigid "panda" later.
In a word, it may be a good American drama, but is it a good Watchmen sequel? After watching the first episode, I think it's unlikely (may change later) (Poisonous Milk, Lindelof's bad writing, Lost, and Alien and Star Trek, really worried about his definition of "good" and Different fans, it’s useless for him to write a letter of guarantee) (I didn’t read Watching the World, I glanced at the score and I’m ready to make it up, really fragrant?)
After watching Rotten Tomatoes, I think a lot of people think the same way as I do... I also want to be slapped in the face, really.
