Heroism Egotism Hubris History Politics & Race all mixed together
I was as excited to watch The Watchmen series on DVD as I was when it originally came out on HBO. The show has several themes from heroism, to egotism and hubris to not forgetting the past mixed in with race. It captured some of the style of the original comic and movie by having flashbacks to old times when heroes were first being created, includes some of the main characters, and continued with the political messages as well something some critics seem to overlook.<br /><br />The series had two storylines that converge at the end. One is about Regina King as a policewoman in Tulsa fighting a white supremacist group called the Seventh Kavalry. In the process she finds out about her past which was hidden from her. They tie that in with the 1921 Tulsa Massacre where African Americans were slaughtered in the city. I thought I knew black history but this show actually introduced me to the tragedy. The recreation which starts the first episode is shocking. This part obviously involves heroes, the past, politics and race.<br /><br />The other plot ties in with the comic/movie about a much older Ozymandias played by Jeremy Irons and his plan to save the world from nuclear holocaust. He’s been exiled while inspiring another like minded genius. That’s where the egotism and hubris come in.<br /><br />The best part of the show was that in every episode they revealed something surprising and new. That’s pretty hard to do in any series even one with just 9 episodes like this one. It also connects with the original material with not only Ozymandias but Jean Smart as Lauri Blake aka Sally Jupiter, members of the original Minutemen like Captain Metropolis and Hooded Justice, along with others. The new characters were interesting as well from King to a paranoid Tim Blake Nelson. Of course there was action as well and no one could predict where it ended up. That made it a fantastic superhero story.
