Why does hollywood do this?

They make posters to catch people's eyes to their product. I thought everyone knew that.
 
I think it has something to do with the character being black and a woman that is upsetting him.

I wasn't following the development of the series and was pretty excited when I randomly saw it popup. The watchmen comics is amazing and the movie was epic.

Saw the poster. Imdb'ed the show. Top review - "This is not Watchmen" :sick:
Not surprised the reviews are lukewarm.
 
For those who don't know, this is Watchmen. If the poster ingredients do not include blue phallis or black and white mask, it's not watchmen.

Perhaps it's the leftist sjw garbage this show throws at the viewer that's upset the OP. Still have to watch it myself but this is what has been doing the rounds :p

Can't we just make a decent show like Fringe or Marvel Agents of SHIELD that everyone will enjoy. This show had the potential to be good.
 
You're either going to love it or hate judging by the audience reviews on rotten tomatoes - it's all a mix of 5 star and 1 star with very little in between. The critics are loving it apparently.

First episode was solid. The second episode... Yeah, I'm all in on Watchmen after the second episode.

The show's set in the same cinematic universe as the movie, except years later... If something happened to your favourite character in the film, it stays happened in the show.

Regina King's been good. Tim Blake Nelson is always good and Jeremy Irons'... won't spoil it... is outstanding.

Watch or don't, but *not* watching because of a poster... man, that's some BS right there...
 
The Watchmen story was created for the 12 comics it came out on and it should've stayed that way. It almost felt like it was meant to be short. Prequels, sequels or series, was bound to **** it up. The movie was not to bad, maybe because it was word for word and scene for scene as it was in the comics.

Who said he was upset over the poster? Looks to me he's upset about the Watchmen series, like me. The poster was merely used to convey the name.....am I right Brendon_E?
Me, I'll try watch the first episode, but I'm going in negative.....because of what I saw in the trailer.

Edit: I would've liked a movie about Kovac. Few years before the movie. Anyway

Watched the second episode and listened to music and thought this sounded like Nine Inch Nails. Saw until the end credits and Trent Reznor come.

Feels good being right.
 
It's been more than a month but I felt I needed to resuscitate this thread for so, so, so many reasons after this week's episode:

First, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's "Life on Mars" is perfection.

Second, folk who said, 'this isn't Watchmen'... Well, those posts have aged so very badly. It's built on Moore's world and made it even better, and it very much *is* Watchmen.

Third, who knew that the movie poster in the OP was... ALL... foreshadowing.

Fourth, I assume the folk who were teetering on the edge because of the poster are now jumping right over it, and I'm here for that.

The show is goddamn spectacular.
