Before a couple of weeks ago, I would have been nervous about the new Watchmen, but Lindelof proved he could stick the landing with The Leftovers so count me as very psyched for this new series. I hope it does follow the Leftovers formula of S1 = prior material, S2 and beyond, new stuff. 10-13 episodes sounds to align nicely with a 12 issue series (how long the comic lasted).
Speaking of 80s comics, The Killing Joke is on HBOGO now. It's heartbreakingly bad for many reasons. One I didn't expect was the vexation I felt from hearing Conroy + Hamill and getting some hard R type tone versus what I'm used to from B:TAS. The whole first half of the movie was filler and Bruce banging Barbara was just wrong. I implore you to never watch this, even to see if it's as bad as everyone says.
I've about given up on FF in MCU. There are some fascinating stories that would enable them to just be plopped into the middle of the current timeline, involving Ultimate Nullifiers, alternate dimensions and all the other things that can make FF stories so cool, when written well. More than anything I want the FF ancillary characters available to the MCU, maybe that could still be haggled out. Annihilus vs the GotG? Yes, yes and YES please! Obviously the Silver Surfer and Galactus would be better served there. Most of all, and I've said it a time or two in this thread, Dr. Doom needs to be given a place to show why he's the greatest gd villain ever. Period.
