I very much doubt he watched it. He doesn’t want any adaptations of his work. He has said his comics are written to be comics and they aren’t meant to be translated to other mediums regardless of how good a job someone does or doesn’t do. With the Watchmen film he asked for his name to not be featured in the credits and didn’t want the royalties from it.

Watchmen show? Nah, I watched a couple episodes and that shit wasn't Watchmen. Watchmen is over, like a good rock album, you don't need a sequel.

Why do you think people here would care about what this anarchist SJW thinks?

That wasn't the problem with the show. In fact, some characters of the show would have served best a story disassociated from Watchmen. The problem is that Watchmen's gotcha is a critique of society that is valid about a specific time in history. You don't need to follow it up.

His name is plastered all over the Motion Comic, but I guess since it's a direct comic translation that's animated and voiced, it was more palatable for him.

It's also fucking awesome and what got me into Watchmen. If it weren't for that motion comic bluray, I'd not even know about Watchmen at all!
