Adrian Veidt

In the actual work, the chief characters' respective D.C. bases were the following:

1. Doctor Manhattan / Captain Atom.

2. Nite Owl II / Blue Beetle.

3. Rorschach / The Question & Mr. A.

4. Ozymandias / Thunderbolt.

5. Silk Spectre II / Nightshade, the Phantom Lady, and the Black Canary.

6. The Comedian / The Peacemaker.

As such, I for one can't shake the nagging feeling that the main characters' Marvel influences would've been the following:

1. Doctor Manhattan / Silver Surfer.

2. Nite Owl II / Moon Knight.

3. Rorschach / The Answer.

4. Ozymandias / U.S. Agent.

5. Silk Spectre II / The Black Widow.

6. The Comedian / Punisher.

But who do you all suppose the characters of Watchmen would be inspired by if they were part of Marvel's multiverse and not D.C.'s?

Before Zack Snyder's film adaptation of Watchmen came out in 2009, Watchmen: Motion Comic was produced as a twelve-episode adaptation of each of the graphic novel's twelve issues, from mid-July of 2008 to late-February of 2009. This is its front cover on home media.

Each episode ran from twenty-five to thirty minutes, every character was voiced by Tom Stechschulte, and the music was composed by Lennie Moore. This is the soundtrack: https://youtu.be/pS0r9S6HrEw Enjoy!

Why is the watchmen show about white supremacy like how does that relate to the watchmen comic

SPOILERS (especially if for some reason you're watching the series without having read the book or seen the movie)

Reviewing what I think I know from the the book and first two episodes of the new HBO series:

1. Rorschach revealed Veidt's mass murder plot in the journal he sent to the New Frontiersman before he was taken out of the picture.

2. Dr. Manhattan is referred to as living on Mars, but it's notable that we haven't heard/seen anyone refer to him being responsible for Veidt's Event (I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that the series is sequel to the film, not the book).

3. We know from a newspaper headline that Adrian Veidt (Ozymandias) is "officially dead". That's a pretty specific reveal, i.e., implying that this is a legal finding in the absence of a dead body or other incontrovertible evidence. Unless I missed something, I think that's the only thing we know about him right now.

4. It appears Veidt is actually living by himself in a castle (given his resources and history of over-the-top bases of operation, I won't speculate as to where) staffed by non-humans (clones, replicants, androids, whatever), implying that he deliberately faked his death and has taken extreme measures to avoid contact with his fellow man.

Putting that together, I'm assuming that Rorschach's journal was found and that Veidt's mega-crime was eventually exposed, forcing him to flee/"die". Presumably this was after enough time had passed for the nuclear crisis to be averted and world leaders to have been scared back from the brink when they realized how close they had come before Veidt's nightmarish intervention.

I'm interpreting previews to mean that Veidt (or some similar party) isn't convinced that this is a stable situation, since the "shared external threat" has been revealed as a fraud, and now there's a need for some new intervention to knock things back on track. The Kavalry (almost certainly unwittingly) is part of the picture - those lithium batteries are being harvested for a reason, and 7K seem the perfect stooges for that kind of grunt work.

I have no idea where the mini space squids fit in :-)

Thoughts?
