The thing I like about Watchmen the most is that they're all named after renaissance painters & they all wear different colour headbands so you can pick them up in a crowd, even though they're all Ninjas who hide in the shadows & are never meant to be seen.
As a joke I was gonna say my favorite Watchmen spinoff was the Porn Parody, but then I looked it up and apparently there is no porn parody! This is really blowing my mind
I really liked the Watchmen Motion Comic, it was pretty cool to see scenes from the comic in motion especially the parts where it went almost 3d with comic book drawn rooms with people walking through them.
My favorite spin off is this video because it condenses all of the other spin offs and comics into a short 12 minutes video and tells you how good they are
The best Watchmen “follow up” was the convergence one shot where it was Watchmen but with the original Charleston characters and Vietnam was switched out for 9/11.
There was an official Prequel story written in collaboration with Alan Moore and Illustrated by Dave Gibbons, It was released the year after the Watchmen graphic novel I believe. It was released as an RPG called "Who Watches The Watchmen".
@@kylev24 I agree. I think the movie missed out on what the story is really about, coming to terms with being a superhero in the real world. It told a faithful adaptation but forgot to indulge the audience in the meaning of the story in the medium in which it's presented.
Watchmen and Doomsday Clock are my all time fave graphic novel/comics ever. I’ve read and watched the movie and shows are masterpieces. Phenomenal, dark, thought provoking, deep, and very adult subject matter. I love it, I love DC. So much better than Marvel
I’ve got a better idea. How about everyone does this in December? Makes more sense seen as the last episode of this will be out and so will the last issue of doomsday clock. So we could judge both watchmen sequels properly then.
I’m watching this video in 2021 because I started watching the show on HBO Max, and that R-rated animated Watchmen movie still hasn’t been made, which probably means it was canceled.
Back when Watchmen was first published, an official module of DCComics' role-playing game wax written by Alan Moore. I've not played it, but it is canon, and from the original author
Try reading all the texts Moore and Gibbons reference, like Desolation Row, Shelly's Ozymandias, and the Outer Limits Architects of Fear. I taught a 1 credit class and we read all the ancillary material.
I liked and have subscribed. The original comic is my favourite though. I am kind of intrigued by the show though - seems like one of the smartest and most artistically pure things anyone has done with it. So thumbs up so far.
I love the new HBO show I think Jean Smarts Laurie Blake is my favourite version of the Silk Spectre and Regina King's Sister Night is so good. Also wanna give a shout out to looking glass who is also fantastic. I think there are good bits in Snyder's film for example Rorschach who I think was adapted almost perfectly.
Rorshach would have been adapted perfectly...had they not obfuscated the fact Rorshach is a terrible person, and made him look like the very thing he was trying to speak against.
Fun fact Geoff Johns said the inspiration for Mime and Marionette, basically his version of two old Charlton Comics characters called Punch and Jewelle from like the 40's. Also my vote for what I'd like to see next would be the R rated animated movie but 3 movies. One of the prequels done in a series of short "chapters" done in a Tarantino style where they all link together by the end (hell just let Tarantino direct the film). 2nd of course based on the original comic and 3rd R rated Doomsday Clock
I literally bought the End is Nigh yesterday at a used/retro game store and I love that game to bits. It’s SO much fun. It’s not at all in the spirit of watchmen but the combat system is immaculate. It’s just fun beating people up, plus it is completely couch-co op friendly. Tho Watchmen would most likely be suited for a point-and-click approach.
The point of Doomsday Clock is less of a normal sequel to Watchmen, but a sort of answer to it. Like a debate between the modern deconstructed ideas of that plagued superhero stories in modern day that came from Watchmen against the classical ideal of one. It’s a pretty meta commentary on how Watchmen influenced modern superhero comics. It’ll be very apparent in the final issue which will be all about Superman and Dr. Manhattan’s confrontation.
I like the motion comic a lot in the sense that it feels like an audiobook, but if I could change anything about it, I'd add in all the supplemental materials from the end of each chapter, like the excerpts from Hollis Mason's book and what have you. The TV show (currently 7 episodes in as I get to this video) is fantastic still. Episode 7 is really shaky in that it reveals a lot about Senator Keene's plan that sounds really dumb, but I have a feeling that there's still a few tricks up this show's sleeve as we approach the last couple episodes. And hopefully a few more lube guys.
I want a mini series where Dr Manhattan just goes around the universe with his woes, looking at weird life around the galaxy spouting philosophical ponderings. I’m not joking just Dr Manhattan’s chapter in the original book and expanded
THE EPISODE OF WATCHMEN EARLIER TONIGHT SHOWED THE SQUID DROP! It was so incredibly well done, makes me sad Snyder didn’t try and pull it off, but I also understand why he didn’t. Go check out HBO’s Watchmen though. It has been incredible and next week is a Nostalgic Trip!
I'd really enjoy an R-Rated animated movie like they had planned. But with a very well developed adaptation of the original style--not the current DCAU style. I'd even be down to see it in theaters if it was well enough made. And would _certainly_ make the motion comic much more obsolete lol
I actually pretty much never read comics and still don't. But when a teacher suggested I pick up Watchmen because " it's a masterpiece even for people who don't like comics", I certainly enjoyed it a lot even though there were probably some fine details that eluded me. I never really liked or understood the black freighter part of the story for example.
Before Watchmen: Minutemen is VERY good. If you're a Watchmen fan and curious to check out one of the spin-off thingies, this is definitely the one I would recommend most (aside from the HBO series).
It is tied between the movie and the Comic maybe I’m being a little biased because I have grew up with both But yeah also doomsday clock in my opinion so far it’s a masterpiece but if I have to pick one maybe the comic I feel like it was very well done
Definitely another reason why Alan Moore wanted his name removed from film adaptations of his work - so he wouldn't be affiliated with lesser spin-offs!
Before watchmen: minutemen Update Synopsis A Movie version of the dc comics prequel Series Before Watchmen: Minutemen Update Synopsis A prequel for the 2009 movie taking place during the WW2 events. Before Watchmen: Minutemen Update Synopsis As the predecessors to the Watchmen, the MINUTEMEN joined their abilities to fight injustice in an ever-changing world. They represented a new brand of crime-fighting super heroes with names like the Nite Owl, Silhouette, Silk Spectre, Hooded Justice, The Comedian, Dollar Bill, Mothman, and Captain Metropolis. But who among them will ultimately question where the line between hero and villain is drawn? Will their differences of opinion mean the difference between life and death? Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan Update Synopsis Jon Osterman is a meticulous and methodical man of science who, after a horrific accident brought on by his own experiment, is reconfigured into the atom-splitting DR. MANHATTAN. The former scientist glides in and out of the past, present and future. Free from the limitations of time and space, he watches over timelines of what has happened, what might have been and what may yet be. With powers that make him akin to a god, Dr. Manhattan wrestles with his tenuous grasp on his own humanity and his ability to change the world with the merest gesture. Before Watchmen: Rorschach Update Synopsis It was clear to Walter Kovacs from a young age that he had an innate sense of right and wrong, even if no one else did. Frustrated by the surrounding sin of the world and motivated by his unshakable morality, he became the vigilante known as RORSCHACH. As a masked hero, Walter is able to see the stark contrasts of good and evil in black and white and uphold justice as he sees fit. Before Watchmen: Comedian Update Synopsis Edward Blake's moral code, much like his sense of humor, is darkly ambiguous. Though he's a man of dubious principles and ambition, there's no doubt he's the man for the job if it's a dirty one. Dispatched by the shadow workers of the government in a time of international crisis, the COMEDIAN enters the theater of war to have the last laugh. Before Watchmen: Ozymandias Update Synopsis To what lengths won't Adrian Veidt go to become the world's smartest man? What sacrifices won't he make? Who won't he push out of his way? BEFORE WATCHMEN: OZYMANDIAS paints an uncompromising portrait of a man whose altruistic desire to right a corrupt planet might come at the cost of his humanity. Before Watchmen: Nite Owl Update Synopsis Dan Dreiberg's hero was the NITE OWL --- the ultimate defender of justice and a symbol of integrity. His desperation to escape a troubled home life leads him to the doorstep of his idol --- Hollis Mason, the true identity of the man behind the mask. Impressing Mason with his techno-whiz abilities, Dan dons the mantle of Nite Owl. But has the world changed so much that the caped hero is now obsolete? Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre Update Synopsis As a straight-laced and studious teenager, Laurel Jane Jupiter has been in training since birth to take up the mantle of the SILK SPECTRE from her mother. No longer able to endure Sally Jupiter's restrictions, demands and curfews, Laurie runs off with her high school sweetheart, out to map her own path to heroism. Now out of the protective shadow of her mother, Laurie finds that blazing her own trail is more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.
The sequel is embedded in the original comic if you read it closely majorspoilers.com/2011/09/17/major-spoilers-podcast-343-major-spoilers-classified-002-the-case-of-the-watchmen-sequel/
My favourite watchmen thing that isn’t the original watchmen comic is probably doomsday clock. But depending on how they end the tv series could take over it.
Yep. IMDb already lists the woman playing Mrs. Crookshanks as also being Marionette, so, imo DC/WB lagging behind is definitely because the TV show is SO good (hopefully we get a second season as the 9 episodes seems more like a miniseries than the "remix" of the original comics that Lindelof has called it.) So again imo once we see how the series plays out the future of the DCU and The Watchmen as both a Show and possibly the real reason for the existence of the new 52 & its failures could end up as a complete Reboot of the DC universe. I can't believe how good the TV show is and how it is retelling the story of Superman's character as an allegory and a cautionary tale at the same time. So good.
My favorite supplementary piece to the Watchmen graphic novel is probably the movie, at this point. I'm waiting to watch the show to decide how I feel about it and I haven't read any of Doomsday Clock. I did read a few of the Before Watchmen books and wasn't happy with certain things, such as the whole thing with The Comedian and JFK.
I really like doomsdayclock? It's not on the level of Kingdom Come obviously but I feel like it's making the same kind of points. Feels like it's trying to make an argument against the edgy darkness that came from a lot of post-watchmen comics (which Moore and Gibbons have both voiced regret about) and that new 52 was pretty ripe with. Almost feels like an apology lol
Exactly! Sure it won’t be better than Kingdom Come but whether it’ll be a classic or not will depend on issue 12 where everything comes to head. It’s going to be 47 pages instead of 32 so get hyped!
I’ve heard the tabletop RPGs are the only officially sanctioned by Alan Moore “prequel” material. I’ve tracked down a couple books but haven’t read them yet.
The thing I like about Watchmen the most is that they're all named after renaissance painters & they all wear different colour headbands so you can pick them up in a crowd, even though they're all Ninjas who hide in the shadows & are never meant to be seen.
LOL
you got me good with that one. Had me a nice chuckle.
My favourite supplementary material is the Animated Series by Harry Partridge
Saturday morning watchmen is 10/10
Its literally the only adaption Alan Moore says he liked. For real.
Top effing notch.
Jonathan Campbell I mean he liked the justice league series version of the man who had everything
I came here for this...was not disappointed.

As a joke I was gonna say my favorite Watchmen spinoff was the Porn Parody, but then I looked it up and apparently there is no porn parody! This is really blowing my mind
Shabab Haider
They couldn’t find someone that has Dr. Manhattan’s girth.
Ahhh, I see what you did there.
So, your mind's the only thing being blown then...
This must be remedied!

I would so love to see Alan Moore plays Watchmen: The end is nigh.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, right, so when are you playing that Watchmen game?
I second this question.
I thirded this question
4 years later I fortheth this
I'm a man watching a video about men watching Watchmen
Ouch.

WHO WATCHES THE MEN WHO WATCH WATCHMEN?!

I liked the one with the Watchmen in it
I prefer the ones with just watches, that ones more my speed
I prefer the one with the Watchmen in it. I respect your opinion though
I only liked the one with men in it.
After the watches left the shows/movies got a lot better
I liked the one about men watching. You turn it on and there are just dozens of eyes staring back at you.
Same
My favorite watchmen spin-off is the 2011 tour of the Blue Man Group
This is my favorite supplemental watchmen property
same
I really liked the Watchmen Motion Comic, it was pretty cool to see scenes from the comic in motion especially the parts where it went almost 3d with comic book drawn rooms with people walking through them.
We all know that the Saturday morning Watchmen animated video is the best Watchmen adaptation.
It's the only one Alan Moore likes so...
My favourite Watchmen spinoff is that one panel of Kingdom Come where Rorschach is hanging out in the metahuman bar.
My favorite spin off is this video because it condenses all of the other spin offs and comics into a short 12 minutes video and tells you how good they are
That one scene in Batman V Superman where you can see "who watches the Watchmen?" graffitied on a wall is the best Watchmen adaptation
I prefer when they did that in Teen Titans Go! but sure
I didn’t know they did that but that sounds terrible if true, lol
@@KaizerMan the movie is terrible
The best Watchmen “follow up” was the convergence one shot where it was Watchmen but with the original Charleston characters and Vietnam was switched out for 9/11.
wanst that multiversity?
Pax Americana, by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, a part of Multiversity, great oneshot!
The motion comic is great for dyslexics, speaking as one
Why?
The Nameless One because reading takes so much more effort for me even though I enjoy doing it. It is nice for it to be read to u
There was an official Prequel story written in collaboration with Alan Moore and Illustrated by Dave Gibbons, It was released the year after the Watchmen graphic novel I believe. It was released as an RPG called "Who Watches The Watchmen".
My preference as far as adaptations go is the motion comic, maybe not the entirety but certainly the episode depicting Dr. Manhattan's transformation.
I’m currently watching that and I love it. It makes me really disappointed that my first experience was the movie :(
I agree, Chapter 4 is immensely good!!
@@kylev24 I agree. I think the movie missed out on what the story is really about, coming to terms with being a superhero in the real world. It told a faithful adaptation but forgot to indulge the audience in the meaning of the story in the medium in which it's presented.
That watchmen kids animated intro, that's it, it's great
This video is my favorite piece of supplementary Watchmen media.
my favorite adaptation is that youtube video someone made of the watchmen as a completely misinterpreted saturday morning cartoon
@MadSweeny how have i never seen this?
this video is my favorite watchmen supplementary material
this video is my favourite supplementary watchmen content.
Watchmen and Doomsday Clock are my all time fave graphic novel/comics ever. I’ve read and watched the movie and shows are masterpieces. Phenomenal, dark, thought provoking, deep, and very adult subject matter. I love it, I love DC. So much better than Marvel
My favorite Watchmen comic is when Allan Moore gets on twitter once a year to tweet something hateful at anything related to his work.
happy to hear some positive views on the show, felt kinda alone in my enjoyment with all the videos trashing it in my feed
Most people definitely enjoy the show, it just ticks off the usual TH-cam trash community.
Watchmen the Saturday morning cartoon or watchmen babies in V for vacation
Mine is the Watchmen table top RPG. Plus Alan Moore actually helped write it.
Obviously, the best Watchmen spinoff is the set of 12 watches released in 1996 to celebrate the comics 10 year anniversary.
I have a commemorative watchmen toaster
3:21 - “Time capshule” - Australia says this word weird.
you have forget Under the Hood and Tales of the black Freighter
I grew up on the Saturday Morning Watchmen. Rorschach’s friends to the animals! I’d go downstairs with a big bowl of frosties and a smile on my face.
@@vashsunglasses Mine was the crossover with Scooby-Doo.
I’ve got a better idea. How about everyone does this in December?
Makes more sense seen as the last episode of this will be out and so will the last issue of doomsday clock.
So we could judge both watchmen sequels properly then.
Returning years later to say that the Watchmen tv show was in fact good
Can confirm
no
Wheres our 1m sub rap Mr Scumbag movies ? Nah love you really keep it up m8
The 1st part of WB's watchman animated movie came out! 😂
I’m watching this video in 2021 because I started watching the show on HBO Max, and that R-rated animated Watchmen movie still hasn’t been made, which probably means it was canceled.
It is 2024 and the movie still hasn't been made
Also Tales of the Black Freighter and Under the Hood are worth watching after the movie (director's cut!)
This video is my favorite Watchmen supplementary material.
Back when Watchmen was first published, an official module of DCComics' role-playing game wax written by Alan Moore. I've not played it, but it is canon, and from the original author
Try reading all the texts Moore and Gibbons reference, like Desolation Row, Shelly's Ozymandias, and the Outer Limits Architects of Fear. I taught a 1 credit class and we read all the ancillary material.
The Ultimate Edition of the Zack Snyder adaptation is the best adaptation by far.
My favorite supplementary Watchmen material is this video.
Gimme that prequel spin-off about the guy who works at the newspaper stand and the kid hangs out there.
You really glossed over my favorite topic: Dong Talk!
I liked and have subscribed. The original comic is my favourite though. I am kind of intrigued by the show though - seems like one of the smartest and most artistically pure things anyone has done with it. So thumbs up so far.
Very cool video guys, thanks for the info.
I love the new HBO show I think Jean Smarts Laurie Blake is my favourite version of the Silk Spectre and Regina King's Sister Night is so good. Also wanna give a shout out to looking glass who is also fantastic. I think there are good bits in Snyder's film for example Rorschach who I think was adapted almost perfectly.
Rorshach would have been adapted perfectly...had they not obfuscated the fact Rorshach is a terrible person, and made him look like the very thing he was trying to speak against.

I adore the motion comic! I've rewatch it a lot. I own it. I really really enjoy it!
Did you make it!
I’m really liking this series and so far, looking glass is my favorite character.
How can you forget the iconic harry partridges "saturday morning watchmen"
I literally bought the End is Nigh yesterday at a used/retro game store and I love that game to bits. It’s SO much fun. It’s not at all in the spirit of watchmen but the combat system is immaculate. It’s just fun beating people up, plus it is completely couch-co op friendly.
Tho Watchmen would most likely be suited for a point-and-click approach.
Just finished watching the tv show and it’s brilliant! I hope they do season 2 ...😅
The point of Doomsday Clock is less of a normal sequel to Watchmen, but a sort of answer to it. Like a debate between the modern deconstructed ideas of that plagued superhero stories in modern day that came from Watchmen against the classical ideal of one. It’s a pretty meta commentary on how Watchmen influenced modern superhero comics.
It’ll be very apparent in the final issue which will be all about Superman and Dr. Manhattan’s confrontation.
This video is my favorite spin off of Watchmen.
I like the motion comic a lot in the sense that it feels like an audiobook, but if I could change anything about it, I'd add in all the supplemental materials from the end of each chapter, like the excerpts from Hollis Mason's book and what have you.
The TV show (currently 7 episodes in as I get to this video) is fantastic still. Episode 7 is really shaky in that it reveals a lot about Senator Keene's plan that sounds really dumb, but I have a feeling that there's still a few tricks up this show's sleeve as we approach the last couple episodes. And hopefully a few more lube guys.
Watchmen: The franchise that shouldn't be a franchise
(Besides the show, I'm actually digging that.)
Before Watchmen was a sick read for the most part.
I want a mini series where Dr Manhattan just goes around the universe with his woes, looking at weird life around the galaxy spouting philosophical ponderings. I’m not joking just Dr Manhattan’s chapter in the original book and expanded
My favourite supplement are my vitamin gummies
Only thing that disappointed me about Watchmen series was the fight between LG and the 7K happened off screen for some reason.
I mean my favorite supplementary material would be Saturday Morning Watchmen by Harry Partridge
THE EPISODE OF WATCHMEN EARLIER TONIGHT SHOWED THE SQUID DROP! It was so incredibly well done, makes me sad Snyder didn’t try and pull it off, but I also understand why he didn’t. Go check out HBO’s Watchmen though. It has been incredible and next week is a Nostalgic Trip!
I love the animated version of the black freighter
I'd really enjoy an R-Rated animated movie like they had planned. But with a very well developed adaptation of the original style--not the current DCAU style. I'd even be down to see it in theaters if it was well enough made. And would _certainly_ make the motion comic much more obsolete lol

Love Zack Snyder’s movie but still think that original comics is too good to need any adaptation/sequel/prequel
Favourite supplementary Watchmen media?
The Watchmen comic. In braille.
9:44 That takes on a whole new meaning when you've just watched Watchmen 1x05
The sequel is embedded in the original comic if you read it closely

I agree with Milhouse, I like Watchmen Babies.
Doomsday clock is a bit of fun as a normal weirdo dc event book but it’s garbahjjj as a sequel to watchmen
Forgot about the watchmen supplement for the Mayfair DC RPG.
My favorite supplementary piece to the Watchmen graphic novel is probably the movie, at this point. I'm waiting to watch the show to decide how I feel about it and I haven't read any of Doomsday Clock.
I did read a few of the Before Watchmen books and wasn't happy with certain things, such as the whole thing with The Comedian and JFK.
I really like doomsdayclock? It's not on the level of Kingdom Come obviously but I feel like it's making the same kind of points.

Exactly! Sure it won’t be better than Kingdom Come but whether it’ll be a classic or not will depend on issue 12 where everything comes to head. It’s going to be 47 pages instead of 32 so get hyped!
My favourite spin off is the Rorschach toaster from Dynamic Forces.
I think it'd be cool if some voice actors redid the audio for the motion comic to replace the one guy doing everything, and add good foley and music.
Think the movie is the best adaptation of the comic formate to movie and the show is up there with the boys
I have only seen the live action movie, and I can definitively state that it is the best version of Watchmen that I have seen.
My favorite adaptation is definitely the 2017 Justice League film because we all had fun with it.
I’ve heard the tabletop RPGs are the only officially sanctioned by Alan Moore “prequel” material. I’ve tracked down a couple books but haven’t read them yet.
You missed the Watchmen roleplaying game from the 80s which I think had new material from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
Why do Australian youtubers post at 10:40pm aus time I need this earlier in the day!!
The best Watchmen adaptation is this video
I personally enjoy the 80's cartoon intro to watchmen. It's not official by any means but it's still nice.
i didn't know anything about watchmen back then but that game was a great local coop beat em up
Great video - I give it a Watchmen! But the REAL question is: who Watchmens the ... who Movement watches ... who ... oh, never mind!
The 2009 watchmen was fantastic! Of course I watch the directors cuts so...
I read Doomsday Clock over the course of two days and it was amazing.
