Idk, Timm sure isn't acting cheery about this movie.

Sure does. Also didn't realize how many people actually hate the comic after coming from the off-topic threads.

I'm fine if people hate it (there are certainly Alan Moore comics I don't like), but it's annoying when folks play the "even Alan Moore said it's bad!" card, like that even means anything.

It's the comic where fake Batman can only be sexually aroused while being Batman.

The superheroes are just perverts with a latex fetish is probably my second least favorite thing to come out of Watchmen.
First being grim gritty deconstruction, but only because most people do it badly. Hello, Zack Snyder.

I don't think I would like Watchmen at all if I didn't love Dave Gibbons so much.
I liked Watchmen quite a lot up into my mid-20s, but as I get older, I don't see the value of viewing superheroes through a lense of cynicism.

Ragnarok is going to be so good.

I find it hard to separate my personal feelings on Watchmen from when I first read it as opposed to reading it now. Reading that around my early teens made me feel like I was reading The Real Shit. I went through that phase where I was just reading grim comics, it was around that time I read The Killing Joke, A Death in the Family and similar stuff. I suppose it was that "IT'S ART YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" phase where I was weird, awkward (more than now) and still figuring stuff out. I also hadn't been diagnosed as being on the spectrum yet, but that's a whole other story. Now I don't give a shit, I've come to accept that with most entertainment, I have the taste of a six-year-old.
I don't think I'd enjoy Watchmen as much now if I just picked it off the shelf and I'd never read it before. My taste has changed a lot, heck I've changed a lot as a person, it's been almost 20 years.

Skottie Young as a writer has never clicked for me. Though I liked the first few issues of his Rocket Raccoon, it just kept hammering on the same jokes over and over again (though with those fantastic Skottie Young visuals). I wish his writing was as inventive and idiosyncratic as his art. I had the same problem with I Hate Fairyland after the first two issues. You should just jump off now and read God Hates Astronauts instead.

Just finished the Deadpool game.
Honestly? The worst game I have ever played.

Just finished Shade, The Changing Man #5. This comic is so cool. I love how Milligan portrays American media here and in X-Statix. The more psychedelic colors work really well with Shade's outfit and powers and madness stuff.

I liked it. Not nearly the worst game I've ever played.
Lashley

I hated everything about it.
Story was shit.
Deadpool was not funny (That is common though)
Gameplay itself was terrible, why have me fight enemies constantly but make the fighting boring?
Only cost me £3 thankfully

Your playing that game for the humor. The gameplay isn't so great.

I would say the gameplay was pretty average.It certainly wasn't good but I don't remember any game breaking flaws either.

Love that Deadpool game. Completely average gameplay, but it had inspired writing/presentation.

The humour is awful though

Eh, it was fine for a Deadpool game. It had the right amount of references and 4th wall breaking to entertain an average audience.

It's so much better in the game than his comics. The presentation is a huge help, and Nolan North was born to play Deadpool.

Update on Azzerello calling someone a pussy: apparently he was calling out a person who was talking shit to him in the back of the crowd.

I can't believe how quick some people are to write Timm off. Guy has been involved in some of the best superhero things ever made for like 25 years, but he fucks up once and there are people who never want to see another thing with his name on it. Shameful.

It's empty calories. You read it for the art, not the story. The art is dynamite and the writing is fine. Not great, but fine. I like the book a lot though.
