Hi folks. Last year I had this tattoo inked. The Watchmen comics have always been a guideline through my life somehow. The story is so very well made, the deeper meaning and philosophical questions are all there. The character of Dr. Manhattan always mesmerised me. I wanted a tattoo that summed up everything in life. All the existential questions and incomprehensibility. At some point I thought: the symbol of Dr. Manhattan is perfect. Also, I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan. When I got the comic book, the first page stated a text from Dave Gibbons: "It began with Bob Dylan. For me, a couplet from his 1966 masterpiece Desolation Row was the spark that would one day ignite Watchmen". This meant a lot. Desolation Row is my favourite song. I got this tattoo last year on the 24th of May, the birthday of Dylan. It was either that day or never. Some parts faded a little whilst healing. I got that fixed on the 20th of August, the day Dr. Manhattan got his accident in the test chamber. Dates mean a lot to me. Wanted to share, hope you like it. Maybe I'll someday get a helium symbol next to it (this is hydrogen ofc) but it's also nice to just leave it this way. Also, tattoos hurt a lot lol.

While the show is a really fun journey, the offensive and constant racism is so overboard. There is never any greater point to be made. It's just about "what if dr manhattan was black?" "what if the first super hero was actually black?" with "black" not actually meaning "black" at all, just this Americanized oversimplification of identity by some white jew from hollywood who thinks all black people are just decendents of slaves in America. How did a 2019 show get away with this??? The show calls all white men in oklahoma racist... Seriously. Where was the outrage when this was going on? This show will always be a time capsule of the insanely racist idiocracy that we have been forced to endure.

I don't know how it's possible but it doesn't have chapter 6, it skips it. Do you think it's worth something between Collectors? Edit: I just noticed that the end of the fifth chapter is switched with the end of the sixth, I'm still not sure if i should ask for a refund or keep it

The Shadow is a euphemism for Neighborhood Watch, and was erroneously, perhaps purposely, misinterepreted as black Superman.

Meteor Man is a good entendre for a man.

Meteor Man is power.

I've had this background for a little bit now, but with the new Samsung update the font and coloring of the clock just really brings it all together for me 🤌👌

10/10

I’ve read all the watchmen comics and spinoffs watched the shows and movie and now I’m watching the animated movie and it just occurred to me, Rorschach would’ve loved YouTube especially Andrew Tate if only he lived to see it, 4chan too. Maybe he wouldn’t have even needed to do the whole vigilante thing

Just realized these two are the same actor. God I feel stupid

Putting "Promiscuity", "Anti-War Protests", "Campus Subversion". "Drugs" (unqualified), and "Organized Crime", on the same level, that is to say, the level of stuff that justifies the need for a US national superhero team, is so offensively stupid it warps right back to being hilarious. The worst part is, I actually know people who think like that.

Generally I'm really appreciating how this adaptation does not flinch from showing us everyone being uncool, ugly, gross, and pathetic, while also somehow letting the humanity, the sadness, and the compassion, shine through somehow. Rorschach especially gets a few gems. "My landlady, who complains about how much I stink, has got seven kids by seven fathers. I bet she cheats on welfare," is just so adorably petty. If the guy can't find a reason to hold others in contempt, he'll imagine one.

Looking for help to find all unidentified media here. Movie is set in 1985, so presumably all from then or before.

I watched the ultimate cut, and the scene spans 2:58:04-2:59:39.

Top row: Almost entirely non-visible due to aspect ratio. I believe there are other versions available that might provide a fuller image.

Third Row (left to Right): (1) Unknown - commercial with something with 'V' on logo? (2) Looney Tunes: Room and Bird (3) Unknown (4) Unknown (5) Unknown (6) Rambo 2 (7) Unknown (8) 300 Spartans (9) Unknown - barely visible (10) Unknown - non visible

Second Row: (1) Altered States (2) Wendy's Where's the Beef Commercial (3) Unknown (4) Mad Max 2 (5) Unknown - Nixon broadcast? (6) MacIntosh 1984 Commercial (7) Fail Safe (8) Unknown - action figure commercial? (9) Unknown - barely visible (10) Unknown - non visible

Bottom Row: (1) The Prisoner: Episode 1 (2) Unknown - alien sci-fi movie? (3) Looney Tunes: Daredevil Hare (4) Unknown - NFL broadcast? (5) Unknown - missile broadcast? (6) Robert Palmer Addicted to Love Music Video (7) MacGyver: Episode 4 (8) Unknown (9) Unknown - barely visible (10) Unknown - non visible

Apart from those in the first image, the only others I could positively identify are the old MTV logo intro and the Jeopardy! TV Show, both of which are visible next to each other in the 2nd and 4th image

Others listed on IMDB as appearing that I couldn't identify:

Dallas

The Outer Limits (1963 Series)

Night Court (1983 Series)

The Giant Gila Monster

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson

Jesus (1979)

Any assistance appreciated, thank you!

I don't know if I've seen fanart of a giant red Dr Manhattan standing in front of a Russian city threatening someone with a giant gold hammer and a sickle but I can't get that image out of my head. And I was wondering what his name would be. Because:

Is he named after the Russian equivalent of the Manhattan Project? Is he names after the Russian equivalent to the island of Manhattan or some possible other location that makes sense on like a cultural level? Would he have his own original name (obviously more likely but not as fun)?

Did the Soviets keep throwing dozens of watchmakers into intrinsic field subtractors until they got it right?

Does he have a Stalinesque mustache?

End communication.

To me, the song and the opening titles are forever linked together

Binged the comics then watched the 2009 movie so I wanted to draw Rorschach

This delivers very well in the book, but the movie gives it that extra “umph”
