I doubt you've heard it, but there is a little internet rumor that a Watchmen movie might be coming out someday.
Test your Watchmen IQ with some important quotes:
"We can do so much more. We can save this world... with the right leadership."
"If you’ve got really smart people who are all focused on the same mission, then usually you can get some things done."
"The only person with whom I felt any kinship with died three hundred years before the birth of Christ. Alexander of Macedonia, or Alexander the Great, as you know him."
"I saw east and west, locked into an escalating arms spiral, their mutual terror and suspicion mounting with the missiles, making the possibility of disarmament progressively more remote."
"This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands."
"The brutal world he'd relished would simply cease to be, its fierce and brawling denizens rushing to join the mastodon in obsolescence... in extinction."
The Quiz Question:
Are these quotes from the mouth of Ozymandias or from President Obama*?
Here's a hint:
They were all spoken by a comic book character.
One more quote:
"It doesn't take a genius to see the world has problems."
Unlike Obama, Ozymandias had a Comedian who tried to contradict him once:
"No, but it takes a room full of morons to think they're small enough for them to handle."
*Apologies for the rare dip into human politics. You know I care very little for the petty management affairs of men. I'm far, far more interested in what your literature has to say about your culture and your leaders. Of course, I'm the only one, troll or human, I've ever met who actually found the ending of the Watchmen graphic novel to be upbeat and inspiring.
