io9, which is a much better site than this little thing, did a deep and thorough dig through the new Watchmen trailer.  I don’t have time for that.  I have to watch CNN at least twenty hours a day or I feel lost.  What I liked about the new Watchmen trailer is how “modified” the entire Watchmen concept is now.  I want to make this pretty clear: I didn’t 100% love the Watchmen comic.  It was all right, but it felt stupidly heavy-handed.  Add to that some of the racist and sexist themes and I sort of got a bit of the classic “UGH” feeling.  The movie?  Of course it looks and feels different.  Is that bad?  Probably.  But I don’t care.  Things have to evolve.  But I do feel bad for Alan Moore.  Homeboy has to be pulling out all his hair right now.  I mean, how can they have a Watchmen without a fat Owlman?  It is blasphemy.  Peep the trailer after the break and check out i09′s analysis here.
