No Right Answer: The Killing Joke vs Watchmen

[Master_of_Oldskool]

My God. I don't think there's going to be a new epsiode next week. I think Chris will be in intensive care.

Well, I for one think all the movies based on Alan Moore's novels are crap! It's like, the Watchmen movie replaced the vagina-squid with an explosion to make Ozymandias's plot fit better with the at least quasi-realistic tone of the first 85% of the story? Heh heh, how does that work? And V for Vendetta made the protagonist slightly more sympathetic, which actually makes sense because the movie is told mostly from Evey's point of view, and she clearly saw V as a hero, so his morally ambiguous actions should naturally seem insignificant.. Er! But nevermind because that subverts the point of the comic, even though it totally doesn't because any idiot who's paying attention could see that V's a psychopath and just assuming that we're going to take the uplifting music's word for it is severely underestimating your audience. So stupid.

Is it just me, or does Chris always win? I mean, I haven't really been keeping track, but I think Kyle's getting kinda screwed here. Especially since he's usually right.

You noticed that too? Three weeks in a row it's been judge's decision (because water's a lot easier to chug than Jones Soda) and gone to Chris.

Who judges this thing anyway?

I still prefer Watchmen... mainly cause he had a LOT of time to cap off his story

Dare I ask...
'Who watches the Watchmen?'

 

[BrotherRool]

I disagree with the result but the final word was brilliant!

Having already read Watchmen, after I watched this episode I went off and ordered a hardback copy of The Killing Joke

 

[Mr_Jellyfish]

Killing Joke definitely wins. Although I disagree that the movies of Watchman and V were good. They really, really weren't

 

[Sixcess]

Alan Moore has said in at least one interview that in a way he regrets writing The Killing Joke, because it helped start the trend for gritty and violent comic book writing, and in hindsight he thinks it's an excessively brutal story for what are rather silly characters.

Anyway, I prefer V for Vendetta to either of them.
