Delicate packaging is still a rotten core I'm sorry I still can't like this series at least as a sequel to the Watchmen comics, I can't give it my respect.
The screenwriter and director are obviously skilled craftsmen, and they have produced a lot of high-quality single episodes. Both the story and the narrative technique are remarkable, but both the beginning and the end are completely bad, making people unable to understand the process in the middle. Pay enough attention, after all, the meaning of the process is still given by the ending.
Here's what I think is wrong with the show:
1. First of all, it is the heroine. This character is a double failure from the role to the actor. First of all, the actors, first of all, the appearance is really lacking, and the acting skills are really indistinguishable. The whole is a face of bitterness and hatred. What is the charm of this character? What's so special about it? Where is the enrichment and growth of the characters reflected? How can such a character He Dehe succeed the image established by Rorschach and Ye Xiao in the original work? I really don't understand.
2. Still politically correct. In any case, the politically correct atmosphere was too serious for me to remove this chaotic air from reality from my viewing experience.
3. The main conflict. This conflict replaces the ideological conflict of the previous work with racial discrimination as the main contradiction in the world view background (on the surface), but this conflict does not focus on the origin and penetration of the conflict. The intensification of this conflict is not as natural as the Cold War - the Cold War in the real world was already the main contradiction in the world at that time, and it only needs to be pushed forward to become the ultimate crisis. How did the racial conflict intensify to this point? (Because of President Rodford? This explanation is really pale, at least it should be more descriptive), why is such a serious contradiction rarely reflected in the daily life of this world? These lack sufficient inking.
4. Manhattan. The last few episodes of Manhattan are so puny and helpless, it's hilarious. If controlling Manhattan is so easy, why didn't the pharaohs do it? If Manhattan is so easy to beat, why are you all scrambling to become the blue man? Not only is the ability diminished, but the psychological depiction of Manhattan deviates far from the original. Instead of portraying Manhattan as an ordinary superhero, Alan Moore dehumanizes the one and only "superman", and if you're going to throw that out of the way from the start, at least give a convincing enough The reason, the screenwriter obviously did not.
5. Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was finally "arrested" by the second generation of Silk Spirit and the Mirror Man, and this ending is completely mocking like the original. As a martyr of procedural justice, Rorschach will never compromise in the face of the end of the world. At the earliest, he can only exchange his body for the truth to spread among the public. This has an allegorical implication. Pharaoh being "brought to justice" after saving the world is like tying 1900 off a ship. Destruction of allegory aside, this passage is problematic both in terms of character motivation and ability. The second generation of Silk Ghost and Looking Glass just assisted the Pharaoh to kill a few blocks of people and organized Lao Zhao, and they turned their heads and wanted to capture the Pharaoh? It's just human crumbs, and you deserve it too. The Pharaoh himself said that this time is a rerun, which is not fundamentally different from the one in 1985. If you really want justice, please 'thank you before the pharaoh kills and saves the world. Even if you don't talk about justice, even if the two of you are despicable villains, Pharaoh, a fierce man who is still capable of taking bullets, why was he knocked out by your looking glass with a sap? Back then, Rorschach and Ye Xiao were so careful to steal Pharaoh, but what happened? Really He De He Neng.
