The 2nd Watchmentrailerarrived last week , and we ’re blown aside by the screwball OCD detail that goes into every vista . There have been plenty of comics - to - screen comparisons , but the footage is also littered with Easter eggs and trivial clew as to the counselling of the movie . Spoilers forrader .
While travel down the hallway to The Comedian ’s flat ( Edward Blake , encounter by Jeffrey Dean Morgan ) , the first thing you see is the name and address , 3001 . gracious nod to 300 , Snyder . At the New York press screening , Zack did mention that not everything is going to be that obvious .
After the attacker wear into Edward Blake ’s abode , there ’s a scuffle that pans across the place , reveal the magnificent Chrysler Building in the expression of the glass walls before Blake goes tilt right through it . This eminent rise is hoarded wealth trove of Watchmen and 80s memorabilia , it ’s litter with little details . When dress up adventurer Rorschach belt down indoors for a look around , you get to see right inside Blake ’s closet . Amongst everything else is a framed picture of the Minutemen , and the Comedian ’s one-time torpedo with the lettering “ To Edward Blake With Gratitude ” on the side which was presented to him from President Nixon . Old Nixon did n’t resign in this reality , in fact 1985 will be his 5th term as President because he repealed the 22nd Amendment in 1975 , so he can be Prez constantly . To the rightfulness of the closet ( in reality throughout the whole flat ) there is a piece of what I ’m assuming is Patrick Nagel nontextual matter , which is unbelievable . give thanks god that Zack Snyder roll in the hay that even in alternate realities , we still need artist to design the covering of Duran Duran albums .
Here is a closer look at the Minutemen icon inside the closet , and a stick up of Sally Jupiter which adorns one of his wall .
Now we see The Comedian earn his exceptional accelerator pedal from the government activity . In a flashback , Blake and Dr. Manhattan battle in Vietnam . See Blake ’s joy as he burns his enemy live ? He ’s a sad , pitiful man . The legs behind him , that ’s Dr. Manhattan super sized , who then points to his victims and make them to burst into gooey short bits . In this alternative reality the Viet Cong yielding in two months .
move on , the cast is now at The Comedian ’s funeral . Dan Dreiberg , or the second Nite Owl , now a little pudgy from the lack of crime fighting , flicks The Comedian ’s insignia into the grave , but observe when the American Flag is draped across his casket if you make up crazy people attending to detail you notice that there are 51 star on the flag , because in Watchmen ’s 1985 , Vietnam is a nation , thanks to Dr. Manhattan and The Comedian ’s participation .
New York ’s Times Square . observe the Veidt advertizement in the heart of the urban center . moment later , some sort of electric dud goes off . Is this the replacement for the squid ? Is this what kill a heavy portion of New York urban center ’s civilians ?
Next Adrian Veidt campaign a mankind who is no longer manage a walkie talkie ( thanks , censors ) in his pimped - out Egyptian - theme pad .
Call it a grammatical case of censorship gone dreadfully incorrect . In the trailer Dr. Manhattan ’s disclose wang is whole blurred out . This is the bit when Jon Osterman appears for the first time in his new dismal form , and he should be naked . Was this an attempt to get blogger to stop posting flick of his manliness all over the internet ? If so , too recent . But more importantly , why ? Billy Crudup ’s pop off to fully display for most of the movie anyways , why obscure it now ?
Laurie Juspeczyk ( girl to Sally Jupiter ) beams to Dr. Manhattan ’s Mars pad to plead with him , and try and win over him to save humanity .
Rorsach gets corner by the cops and takes the opportunity to stop up a small Veidt pilus spray , by lighting the SWAT squad on fervidness .
The street of New York metropolis begin to riot , and Nite bird of night stand out to the terra firma look an awful great deal like the Dark Knight doing a little new wave jumping .
atomic explosions burst about Dan and Laurie , but revere not , this is just from Dan ’s pervy dream about small Laurie ( who was roam astonishingly young in this film ) . But , unlike in the book , this scene is pretty foreshadowing should they do away with the squid attack in the goal and rather expend a sonic bomb . But the dream itself is very indicative of the Cold War venerate that ’s still going on in this alternative 1985 . After the country ’s greatest weapon ( Dr. Manhattan ) take flight to Mars , it ’s only a matter of metre before all out nuclear war took seat as the relations between the US and Russia in this future were implausibly strained .
Why so serious , Nite Owl ? Well , in all likelihood because what he ’s holler about is n’t snow , it is in fact the scatter specks of a beloved friend . Which one ? Now that is surd to say . Many have speculated that Snyder may have changed this ending as well .
