In view of the fact that there are still many people who do not know much about the settings of the comics and drama versions, I will share the background settings of the HBO version of "Watchmen" seen on Twitter.
Translated from Twitter by getFANDOM Compiled from the information on HBO's official website of the series
1. The drama version is a continuation of the comic, not the movie. The New York attack in the movie is blamed on Dr. Manhattan, while in the comics it's a giant octopus released by Pharaoh Adrian Witt.
The octopus falling from the sky in the play is most likely the aftermath of the octopus attack.
2. Robert Redford has been president for 28 years, echoing the 1988 run for president by Robert Redford at the end of the comic.
3. Because Dr. Manhattan participated in the Vietnam War in the comics, the United States won the Vietnam War, and Vietnam became the 51st state in the United States in 1985. You can see that the style of the American flag in the play is different from that in reality.
4. The use of mobile phones and networks in the drama version is prohibited.
5. The Radford Act: Enacted for victims of racial violence. Lifetime tax exemption for victims of racial injustice in the United States and their descendants since the Tulsa Race Riots in 1921.
6. After the pharaoh Adrian Witt disappeared in 2012, he was officially declared dead in 2019 (in the play, you can see that the pharaoh played by Uncle Tie is still alive, apparently just cheating death and doing big things).
7. Night Owl II and Silk Soul II were arrested in 1995 for violating the Vigilante Act. It is implied that the second generation of the 2019 gangster is still in federal custody.
8. Rorschach's diary was made public, but was ultimately seen as merely the work of a conspiracy theorist and a mentally ill person. It is only used in the Gospels of some fringe organizations (like the "Seventh Cavalry", which is actually mentioned in the comics). They believed that Werther was responsible for Rorschach's death (in the comics, both Werther and Dr. Manhattan were responsible), and now that Werther has declared death (mentioned in Item 6), this explains why the An episode of clashes between masked police officers and the 7th Cavalry Regiment.
9. The second generation of Silk Soul, Laurieus Pizyak (in the comics, in order to cover up her Polish mother's surname Jupiter, she later found out that her biological father was a joker) and changed her surname to Blake with her biological father, the joker , at the same time changed her vigilante name to female comedian, and now works for the FBI.
10. Angela (the new black heroine in the play, codenamed Sister Night) and Cal's children were adopted after the White Night incident. The White Nights incident refers to the murder of police by masked vigilantes and the enforcement of laws requiring police to be masked.
