The Watchmen. True "heroes".

This post will be dedicated to one simple thing. Useless superheroes. I recently saw that movie "The Watchmen", and I must say, I didn't really get it. I think it was supposed to take place during the cold war, but then Nixon showed up, and then all the super-heroes went to the North Pole, just to blow up New York? The plot wasn't the most confusing part, though(Believe it or not). I never understood who was a superhero, who was good, who was evil, and what kind of powers those people actually possessed.

I guess there are five to eight superheroes in the movie(I couldn't keep up). As far as I could tell, this is how their powers where divided:

-One guy is the smartest guy in the world. Okay, I can dig that being a superpower.
-One guy is blue, can re-shape all materials in the world, see the past and future, and teleport himself. Also legit.
-This is where it starts getting strange. One guy wears a cape, and has two different outfits. That's his only power. He wears a different one when it's cold outside. He's a superhero that doesn't want to catch a cold. I guess that makes him the worlds biggest vagina, if nothing else.
-One is a girl who only has like one big scene in the movie, and it's a very graphic sex-scene. Her power is being able to disguise the fact that she's a whore, and still wear latex.
-One guy wears a trench coat, some form of ink-mask, and a hat. He can find a haberdashery anywhere on the planet.
-One guy is a prolific rapist who shoots protesters on sight.
-Last but not least, there was the other girl's mother, who I think retired after being raped by the previous guy.

If you think I'm joking, see the movie.

In conclusion, what did I learn from seeing this movie? In what way has my life changed? Well, I feel two hours older, I no longer think Rogue from X-Men is lame and useless, I'm kind of obsessed with the super-whore, and finally, I can't help but think being a superhero is all just very outfit-based.



The guy in the middle looks like a bug.
