Watchmen minutae realization

Apr 02, 2009 08:38


So all the posters and graffiti all over the city, obviously a lot of them have symbolism.  A lot of it I got on the first read through, who watches (of course), pale horse coming to town, etc etc.  Never before, however, did I realize the double-interpretation of the Veidt Method advertisements.  (Pic form the movie set, comic has same text and similar overall layout.)




Noting the fabulous little insert of Adrian in the loopy "G" of the "GAY".  And looking closer.




YEP.  "I WILL GIVE YOU BODIES BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGININGS."  -Adrian Veidt

...I don't know why the use of the plural (bodies) didn't tip me off before.  That's horrifyingly amazing.

I'm sure someone somewhere has realized and pointed this out looong before me, but I was browsing earlier this morning and the realization hit me like a ton of bricks.  I'm still not over it.  It's so damn eerie.

adrian veidt is fabulous and fierce, oh fuck yeah, i need healthier hobbies, that there is what we call a confession, fandom is a slippery slope to geekdom
