The Big Picture

Came from

What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Dave Gibbons: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. craft (craft): Dave Gibbons ⇒ Watchmen (the host's read). Gibbons' same-size panels made the Watchmen comic a structural feat, which Snyder followed faithfully in the film.
    “and, you know, he was able to, uh, I mean, Dave Gibbons is one of the great comic book illustrators, but is a very low key sort of British style that all the panels in the book were the same size.”

Iron Man: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Watchmen → Iron Man. Snyder, while promoting Watchmen, doubted Marvel's B-list characters; then Iron Man made $300 million.
    “I can't believe Iron Man made $300 million.”

Matthew Goode: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Matthew Goode → Watchmen. Goode is fine generally but a poor fit for Ozymandias.
    “I think he is really poor fit in that film.”

Michael Fassbender: 1 line what-if ×1

  1. what-if (what-if): Michael Fassbender → Watchmen. Fassbender would have been a better Ozymandias than Matthew Goode.
    “he would have been a better Ozzie Mandius.”

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Scott Pilgrim vs. the World → Watchmen. Jason says Snyder's Watchmen lifts panels straight off the page and loses the magic, while Scott Pilgrim translates the feel of a comic into film.
    “There's a, there's many, many scenes in Zack Snyder's Watchmen that are ripped directly from the pages of the book.”

The Incredible Hulk: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Watchmen → The Incredible Hulk. A Hulk nudity joke leads to complaining that Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan penis was rendered when the comic gave it one line.
    “You got to realize that for like 20 years they were like, they're never going to be able to make a Watchman movie that they do their censor it and they won't even show his dick.”

Zack Snyder: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Watchmen → Zack Snyder. Snyder's Watchmen was his favorite of his superhero efforts, helped by being faithful to a single finite graphic novel.
    “that's my favorite Zack Snyder superhero endeavor for sure.”
