  "Two people staring at each other with fake smiles" and paying their friends to stab the other side's friends.

  There&apos;s something about you talking about the works of Alan Moore and Grant Morrison that I really enjoy. Probably because you bring up the big stuff like Watchmen and Doom Patrol, but also give just as much attention to the smaller stuff like 1963 and Zenith. As always, keep up the great content! Until Next Time!

  I always thought that superheroes in Watchmen mirrow popularity of comic books. Hooded Justice and Minutmen are DC that make superheroes popular but in 50s nobody cares about them anymore. Then Dr Manhattan comes along and just like the Marvel makes superheroes popular again.

  Due to its nature as a formal experiment, I think any movie/TV show adaptation/spin off true to the spirit of WATCHMEN would have to be a formal experiment exploring its medium.

  Krystalnacht in the book was the name of a band that was playing in Madison Square Garden the night of Adrian Veidt&apos;s attack, along with a band called Pale Horse. Their fans were &quot;top knots,&quot; Moore&apos;s analog for skinheads. In the 80s, white supremacist skinheads were a huge subculture, so it makes sense Moore would see them as part of the landscape of global self-destruction.

  That shadow image of the girls playing jump rope burned into the wall is devastating.

  Overly aggressive idiots trying to save the world one punch at a time. &nbsp; Yet another well-thought out, well presented entry, Sir. Always interesting to see your analysis. 🏆
