I ‘love’ how the man poster focuses all on his face and everything else is background, while her poster practically fades out her face and instead focuses on her T&A. Your eyes in that poster are even led to the damn guy lying on the street than her face.

Silk Spectre’s tagline is great too, being used to going out at 3 am and doing something stupid. What could they possibly be implying?? I approve though, cuz she’s a hottie.

I think it’s serious confounded by capital-C cool. Moore never intended the cast to be Cool, he wanted them to be human. Which is why, I imagine, all the slo-matrix kungfoolery in the trailer looks particularly ponderous & out of place. It’s no longer human, it’s Hollywood.

nope it wasnt, he tried to portray them realistic in a realistic setting.
which is why watchmen wasnt too well received by me.

the more serious the more ridiculous also applies for watchmen.

Which was kind of Moore’s point. Or one of them. One of the ones a lot of people missed, actually.

Superheroes are strange. The more serious the take on them, the more ridiculous they seem.

That guy who plays The Comedian - it just hit me: He’s the guy who used to play the dad on Supernatural.

I knew he looked familar.
