second vid in our SPOTLIGHT series is about the series of tableaus that make up Watchmen’s opening sequence, how it effectively builds its world, and how it parallels the in-world history of superheroes with the real-life history of america — dm us to talk more about the superhero genre in general / tentpole franchises / h2 history :D

you can watch the full opening sequence here (sorry about the copyright breaks hais): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h24D87SqaLQ
and i'd highly recommend this video essay by Implicitly Pretentious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeh8JTyuZso -- that goes through the differences between the movie and comic, and how their different mediums changed their messages
