In Reply to: So, there is evil in the world and a film that glorifies it is.... posted by tinear on March 9, 2009 at 21:54:26:
Watchmen doesn't glorify anything. Watchmen basically asks a few simple questions. 1. if people dressed up in costumes and fought crime in the real world what would these people be like? answer mostly psychopaths with extreme points of views be them liberal or conservative.
2. What would happen if superman were real? answer, he wouldn't be saving Lois Lane every week or fighting Lex Luther. He would have a profound socialogical and political impact. the movie doesn't glorify anything. It examines the comic book genre and mythologies from a view point that marked a revolution in comic books.
