Japanese Watchmen Trailer Also Doesn’t Show Chun Li
Which is fine, because it’s Watchmen. Still, a bit more new footage here, including what I think–nerds, I know you’ll correct me harshly if I’m wrong–is the first footage of a scene that wasn’t explicitly in the graphic novel. There’s a lot of Nixon and the Kennedy assassination in this this, and there’s a shot of the Comedian holding a rifle which implies he’s the guy who shot Kennedy, which is heavily implied in Watchmen but not shown. So…hmm. Everything else we’ve seen has corresponded pretty exactly to a panel in the graphic novel, but not that one. So…freak out! (Le freak, c’est chic!)
