Why do people want a 1:1 adaptation of Watchmen? If you guys are anywhere near real fans of the book, you would know that's impossible. Alan Moore knows that, too and he's mentioned it. The creator of this show wrote that long winded ass letter saying the same thing. We don't need more of the same shit. As somebody who actually reads comic books, I am more interested in seeing a different take, like an alt universe take like some elseworlds type shit, which is what this is (and what I assume the creator was going for as he refused to do the show twice in the past before accepting with the caveat that he gets to change shit up.) I'll reserve my judgement for how good the show is when it comes out.
But I am kinda disappointed that you guys want 1:1 watered down adaptations. We had one in Snyder's movie, and in turn it often missed the point of a lot of things the comics were going for. At worst it can be absolute trash as a show, but at best it can also be above what are essentially watered down adaptations of comic book stories like the MCU or the Nolan trilogy or the DCEU.
