It’s the story of Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen.

Ahh… Is the book better than movie? I’ve tried watching the movie like 8 times; I have fallen asleep at the same part every single time. :/

I’d suggest watching the hbo series then going back and watching the movie.

The graphic novel was revolutionary when it came out in the late 80s. For a comic book it’s still extremely good, if you like character-based stories.

Funny enough, the movie has a better fitting ending while the comic has better story pacing.

I hated the movie ending which is why I know it was so good. It ended in a way that was unsatisfying to me and I feel like that’s important to the story.

Substantially better. It actually has a theme and internal morality that makes sense.

Zack Snyder has a real talent for totally abandoning the actual meaning of comics in favor of capturing an aesthetic and this is no exception.

Yeah, but the aesthetics though 👌👌👌. I remember watching Watchmen at the theater and thinking these scenes are straight out of the comic panel. Love both of them.

Edit: who watches the watchmen? Me, its me.
