There's a place for grotesque, brutal, depressing stories--I don't feel like Watchmen makes it to that place.

The plot was interesting in parts, other parts bored me to death, but overall, I just don't get the hype at all. But maybe I was too focused on the rampant sexual violence and misogyny, who knows. I think I'll stick to other writers from now on.

but i think that's what makes the story compelling and stand up to the test of time....or whatever? i think it's not as deep as it was trying to be in some places. but it was good for what it's worth and i can see why it's considered a classic. i definitely prefer it to Moore's other famous work, The Killing Joke — the only good thing to have come out of that was Oracle, then DC went and ruined her by ~curing~ her disability 🙄
