So, seeing the movie tomorrow and will probably love it because I seem much easier to please than most fans of anything
BUT
HOW could they change THE line of Watchmen??? I feel a little silly right now, kinda like one of those HP fans who bitched about Hermione's Yule Ball dress being OMGEVILPINK, but REALLY. Even having not seen the movie I already know that simply does not have the same punch as "I did it."
On a more minor vaguely Watchmen-related note, as someone who is an ardent feminist, I'm a little peeved that other people seem to think I'm not allowed to enjoy any works of media that do not portray ideal gender relations. While I would like more things with awesome women and whatnot, I didn't know that my choice of fiction should be completely compliant with all of my social/political views. :( (doesn't that defeat the whole point of art anyway???) Bah.
