Watchmen Pitch Meeting

Before Zack Snyder got involved with the Justice League character, he brought another DC Comics product to life with 2009’s divisive Watchmen. There was a ton of hype surrounding the superhero movie, and in the end, a lot of people were on the fence about it. The movie definitely raises some questions. Like why didn’t Dr. Manhattan cover up? How does Rorschach’s mask even work? What’s up with the copious amount of slow-motion?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Watchmen! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

Rorschach is a really cool vigilante, I love his costume, but I don't understand why his mask is a picture of my parents fighting.

"I'm not sure this is the kind of movie we want to support."
"Do you think I'd reveal my pitch if you had any chance of stopping me? I already made it 10 years ago."

Best part of this entire skit is that Ryan wrote dialogue for 20 seconds while we all stare at Dr manhattans pixilated junk

[NathanDav]

Ryan George playing the studio exec’s growing confusion and anger while looking at Dr. Manhattan’s dong is some of the best comedic progression in acting I’ve seen in a long time. You can read his entire thought process on his face without a line of dialogue.

Truly brilliant comedy.

"He's almost not Batman"


That was perfect

You should do Alita Battle Angel. Look at her eyes, she's begging for a Pitch Meeting.

[ZReviews]

Threw my head back in laughter at some of this one. I love Watchmen. Whole thing is TIGHT.

[kingdonut]

“And then Rorschach explodes!”
I love how Screenwriter Guy gives this line no context and then Producer Guy just goes along with it.

"Excessive padding is TIGHT"


Truly underrecognized genius

[minimoe]

"I feel like this is all very gross and unnecessary."
"It's mature and grown up."
"Ok"

[jotamesis]

"She's in a relationship with Dr. Manhattan but she's not very happy"
"Because he's naked all the time?"
"Maybe"
LMAO!

[paradoxofmind]

"If that song's _(Hallelujah)_ not about two comic book characters getting intimate in a high-tech plane, I don't know what it's about."

Absolute next level commentary!

[JadeDude]

"Well, he's almost not Batman" LMAO

[Omnigreen]

Maybe create a separate channel for Pitch Meetings? They're just too good to be alongside with the other content on this channel.

[madminute]

I haven't laughed so hard with that "distracted" bit.
You two make a great team.

"i feel like this is very gross and unecessary"
homelander and storm front hold our capes real quick

[jeffreyfetrow]

One of the best of the Pitch Meetings. The facial expressions while trying not to be distracted by the blue penis picture were gold.

[stellaVista]

"How is he killed?"
"in SLOW MOTION!"
Love it!

[ToadenK]

To be fair, Alan Moore hates all adaptations of his books

[TheOddOne]

I love that he makes the distinction between what is "adult" and what is just straight up gross/unnecessary.
