What’s poppin’, Watch-Men?! It’s me, MT! And welcome back to the Heavy Spoilers show! This is a breakdown of the 3 and a half hour Ultimate Cut of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen! This big boy is a brutal beast of a blast and I can’t wait to get into it with you all so I won’t! So much like the Comedian did to the pavement, let’s just dive into it!
The Watchmen movie, of course, is an adaptation of Alan Moore’s 1986 comic book series set in the Cold War era of an alternate universe of crime fighting vigilantes. And because of the Cold War setting, World War III is a threat consuming the minds of everyone. This being the case, I love how the movie starts with a zoom out from the Comedian’s smiley face pin accompanied by the sound of a tea kettle screeching. Having this occur as The Comedian listens to a TV broadcast detailing the rising tensions between Russia and Afghanistan was a fantastic audible choice by Zack Snyder to set up this universe of boiling tension between the nations of the world on the brink of a possible nuclear armageddon.

Huge thank you to MT for covering this classic.

"So much like the Comedian did with the pavement..." I was not prepared for that level of savagery right out the gate 😂
-
"Freighter" is pronounced "Fray-ter".
-
I only just now got the double entendre of Hollis Mason's book "Under the Hood," referring to both his super hero costume and being a car mechanic. I don't know how I never noticed it before 😂.
-
When I was in school my teacher was a friend of the production designer Alex McDowell so when this movie released he came to do a lecture. I’m still amazed by this movie’s faithfulness visually to the source and how hard they worked to fit everything in. I seem to remember McDowell talking about how all of the Night Owl books were fully printed with text under the covers because that was the level of detail they were wanting.
-
As a huge Watchmen nerd I have to admit, I'm impressed at the number of things I missed. Great vid my dude.
-
This is my favorite movie. I’ve seen it a million times and have broken it down in every way possible. You did a great job MT!
-
Getting MT on heavy spoilers was a genius move. Love his breakdowns. Would love it if he done some watch alongs on some classic comic book movies
-
Most underrated movie of all 🔊🔊🔊
-
I love how MT’s profanity adds so much color during breakdowns. It sounds comedic and fun. Much like Paul’s.
-
Another fun, subtle detail is that when Adrian Veidt is around his friends in private like Nite Owl he speaks with a very slight German accent. You can hear it best when Dan goes to see him at Veidt tower. He speaks in a more American accent the rest of the time when in public. In the comic he is of German origin and I think he masks his accent because at the time WWII was very fresh in people’s minds and he wanted to distance himself from them as much as possible.
-
I saw this movie 4 times in the theaters and countless times on DVD. I've read the comic a few times and I love how MT is now breaking it down and I still love it. Thank you Paul and MT!!!
-
I love you , MT. I love everything about the way you do what you do. That being said.... it's "FRAY-tuhr", my guy. But for real for real.... this was an absolute masterpiece of a breakdown that only you could put together so well.
-
Zack Snyder has an incredible talent and eye when it comes to moving images, and here he had such a dense material to build on its elevated Watchmen to something more than a comic and a movie. When I read it I see and hear the movie in my head and when I watch the movie I remember so much from Alan Moore’s comic, it a wonderful mythos of an alternative history . . .
-
How about all along the watchtower playing as they approach… a wild cat did growl,.. two riders were approaching… and the wind began to howl. Perfection
-
I have watched this movie many times. I have read the comic series several times. Yet, you still uncovered several Easter eggs that I missed. Impressive.
-
Those playing cards are very specific. They are a deck designed so the magician can accurately predict what card you are holding (the patern on the back is unique to each card). This kind of deck plays well into the symbolism of fatalism and gives someone the illusion of control while orchestrating events. 24:03

Yeah mate, MT had been killing it on Heavy Spoilers! I see this new exciting light in him now. Keep up with the great breakdowns guys! One love guys!
-
After the TV series I have a new respect for Hooded Justice
-
Absolutely love Watchmen! Zack Snyder gets alot of flack for his films, but Watchmen will always be his crown jewel. It's just so damn good. Also, it's damn good to be an MT fan! Hearing big MT let loose and drop f-bombs is awesome 👌 probably not for the channels revenue, but for us, hell yeah 😀
