Topic	HBO's Watchmen is getting review bombed.

IE "The Seventh Kavalry" taking Rorschach's manifesto and turning it into some racial thing. White supremacy is tryna come back in the show and Angela tries to fight back. To some it's another "white man bad" show. The majority of the good guys that we have seen are white though. People may be upset with the show since the comics are so heavily centered around the "heroes" themselves and their struggles, that the show just turning into another "whites are bad and we gotta beat them back" show invites some cringe factor. The original Watchmen was heavily political and delved deeper than just the heroes flaws. I'm not necessarily liking the show because it feels like it's using the comics more so for marketing than anything else, though it was only one ep, but the racism narrative is an interesting plot on it's own. Anyone that can't suspend their political beliefs for entertainment's sake needs to sit the fuck down. Saying racism is bad isn't the same thing as saying white people are bad. --- Clean Butt Crew <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:929286157] in HBO's ...
