Is HBO’s Watchmen supposed to be a sequel to the graphic novel, a reboot, or something in between? Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant

The HBOs Watchmen looks like it will atone for all of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen-related sins (Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice remains unforgiven). But how exactly will Lost writer Damon Lindelof fit his new show into Watchmen past?

Well, the short answer is that he’s ignoring the 2009 movie. Instead of adapting the exact story of the comic like Snyder did, Lindelof is, in his words, “remixing” the comic into the 21st century. Where the comic was about the Cold War, the new show will be about the resurgence of racial tensions in America.

The show takes place 30 years after the events of the book, in a Tulsa Oklahoma that combines the comic and real life. It incorporates the real world by starting the show with a scene of the Tulsa Massacre of 1921, where the most affluent black community in the country was wiped out by an angry white mob. It also incorporates the squid-pocalypse that killed half of New York City, but ended the cold war in the Watchmen comic. It is in the shadow of these two events that Watchmen unfolds.

In Watchmen’s alternate 2019, the police wear masks, after being targeted by a white supremacist terror group called the Seventh Kavalry. Some of the detectives even get to wear full costumes like Sister Night, whose getup is half-nun-half-batman. There is also her co-cop, Looking Glass, whose reflective mask is an apt update of Rorschach’s ink-blots. Speaking of which, the Seventh Kavalry have appropriated the erstwhile trench-coated vigilante as a symbol of their hate, each of them wearing a version of the classic Rorschach mask from the original comic.

Scenes that were cut from Spider-Man: Far From Home! Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant

Spider-Man: Far From Home is out on Blu-Ray and Digital now and with that home release comes a ton of behind the scenes goodies, including deleted scenes. It’s always interesting to view the scenes that were cut from the final movie and wonder if they should have really stayed in the final version that makes it to the big screen.

Some of the deleted scenes in Far From Home make sense to have been cut. These include some vlog style videos done by Flash Thompson. While the vlog bit worked in Civil War, it doesn’t work as well with Flash. Likewise, Peter’s t do list is hysterical and charming but is also a bit long and breaks up the pacing of the movie. Likewise, a catchup scene with the rest of Peter’s class, as he’s meeting with Fury’s agent, doesn’t serve any larger purpose.

However, some scenes should have definitely stayed in, such as Spidey versus the mob, a scene that made it into the re-released version of the movie. A scene with Quentin Beck acting like a total diva is also great as Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio was a highlight of the movie. A scene on the plane home may have been short, but it showed Peter finally sitting down next to MJ, cozying up. After that flight, Aunt May tells Peter that he’ll eventually grow into his new glasses, made by the late Tony Stark. So once you’ve seen these cut scenes, we’d love to know your take as to which are your favorites and which you think should have stayed in the movie, if any at all.
