Video Discusses The Impossibility of Adapting WATCHMEN
I'm faced with an impossible decision in this latest kaptainkristian video. While I would love to add to my argument that Zack Snyder only makes characters the way he imagines them, I would then have to say that Alan Moore was right and Watchmen was "unfilmable." I do not believe a good version of Watchmen cannot be made, but I do believe it cannot be done in a film.
If someone were to redo this in the form of a TV series, I think you'd have a much greater success in translating Alan Moore's work to animation (and this might actually happen). I think Snyder focused too much on the edge (which is what he does best) and not enough on the nuances that made this series great. I'm sure you'll agree as well when you watch this video.
